What are the chances of dying if you take cocaine responsibly?

Question 1
What are the chances of dying if you take cocaine responsibly?...  This question is for information purposes only.

Answers
1)   The chances are great. There is NO safe way to ingest cocaine. - Joe

2)   Cocaine and responsibly shouldn't be used in the same sentence. Doing drugs is not responsible. - obama sucks

3)   taking cocaine "responsibly" may not kill you straight away.

however a very close friend took cocaine for many years and sadly it destroyed everything he was, now he is a fearful messed up wreck who beats his girlfriends and cannot move from the depression he seems to be stuck in - Hovis

4)   100%

unless you think you will not die. - Nitram

5)   You mean when used as a topical or optical anesthetic. Very scarce.

I don't suggest it any other way. Know far too many people who destroyed their lives that way. Believe me, there are fates worse than death. - Tink

6)   haha. cocaine. responsibly. you're funny - lovemesomethc

7)   The only way to truly quantify this is if you can guarantee the quality of the product. There is a 100% chance of heart damage regardless. So, imho, it's russian roulette with a fully loaded gun. - ..

8)   yeah i wouldn't do cocaine, man. not a good choice of drug use. there are plenty of other "drugs" out there that are better but provide a good experience. marijuana and psychedelics are the way to go. and only at good occasions, take X - Freddie

Question 2
What is a good hangover cure?...  very hungover today. no headaches but stomach feels wretched. HELP PLEASE?!

Answers
1)   Just sleep it off. stay in a cool shady place and just sleep it off - xdinokidx

2)   Water, water, water. Keep a huge bottle by your bed. Switch the lights off. Lie there for as long as it takes. When you can stomach it, eat a banana. If you want some medicine, take paracetamol, not aspirin; that will irritate an already upset stomach. Despite all the myths, there is no such thing as a real hangover cure, unfortunately. - Kaleid

3)   Breakfast BEER!!!!!!!! Its the only way - Greg

4)   I am 29 year old man, and have experianced many blinding hangovers over the years, and as the years roll by they defo get worse :( headache, stomach upset, sweating (hot &cold), cringing flashbacks and severe depression lol.

You cant stop it if you insist on drinking but there are a few things I do to control the damage.

Once I get up I brush my teeth and rince with mouthwash, i take a resolve, I then take a massive crap lol, I then go and take a hot shower/bath, get into my trackies and t-shirt, eat a massive bowl of bran flakes (stay well away from fried food) I slug water all day, eat loads of ice cream, take a nap - wake up hangover free and ready to party - Scooby D

5)   It's largely dehydration. Water resolves it. Also eat something sugary/starchy to resolve the hypoglycemia. - Rhianna

6)   A shot of vodka with black pepper in it. - Ms know it all

7)   I swear by Miso soup broth. - SusieQ.

8)   a pint of water with two paracetamol, a bacon bap (HP sauce of course), go back to bed see you in about 12 hours - Nitram

3)   if you are over 18, get some dispersible aspirin tablets. dissolve a 300 mg tablet in a glass of water, use it to gargle and then swallow. do this 3 times a day, preferably after food. it would reduce pain and inflammation. - Oliver

4)   sucking on whole cloves overnight and when you mouth is dry helps. I keep cloves by my bed and carry them in my purse...like when you get dry mouth..kind of like a security blanket.
chicken noodle soup, garlic, salt water gargle are all good..as is honey, hot tea, any thing that feels good. - Betal S

5)   Hydrogen peroxide helps me. Gargle about once every hour. Did your doctor test you for strep? - oldknowitall

Question 4
What are some really good books on alternative medicine (herbology,etc)?...  I am planning on going to school for alternative medicine in the near future. I just have to work on getting the money for it for now. And I had a talk with someone today who is going through the same thing. And she said for now it would be a good idea to be self taught. So, I would like to know if anyone who is knowledgeable in this area could direct me towards the best book(s) to use as guides.

Answers
1)   they have lots of pot books at urban outfitters - lovemesomethc

2)   self taught eh?

So you think you might have the intellectual capacity of Einstein who published 3 papers in one year.

How about going and taking a course at your local college? Try biology, maths, chemistry

please do not expose your ignorance to real clients. The last "self taught" was Crick - Nitram

3)   Try "Snake Oil Science: The Truth about Complementary and Alternative Medicine"
http://www.amazon.com/Snake-Oil-Science-Complementary-Alternative/dp/0195313682 - Rhianna

4)   Well, first off, I would make the suggestion that since you aren't independantly wealthy, that you get a degree to be certified in Nutrition. That way you will always have another job to fall back on, and you'll be able to do "other things" until you get a practice established.

Anyhow - to the Q at hand - Linda Page, Tori Hudson, Dr. Atkins (yes, of 'that diet' fame - his text on vitamins is great), and James Duke (medical ethnobotanist for the USDA) would be some of the first names I suggest. Tori Hudson should be easy enough to find at a public library. - Tink

5)   Secrets of Longevity: Hundreds of Ways to Live to Be 100 by Mao Shing Ni is a good starter book and it can be found here

Question 5
ear wax blockage is making me freak out?...  okay heres how it happened. i told my mom that my ear was irritating me so she put some "ear oil" in my ear and put alot of it in there. and once i got up and leaned my head, not all of it came back out. its been over an hour since my ear has been blocked and it happened because of that darn ear oil!! help me please. will it come out eventually?

Answers
1)   qtip - bby

2)   Just lie down for a while and it should drain out. Make sure you have something under your ear to catch the oil. - wise one

3)   Your mom should only put one drop of oil. Go the pharmacy and buy peroxide, and a small pump that is use for babies nose. Mix equal amount of warm not hot tap water, and peroxide put a little bit in the ear slowly, and let it foam then turn you head and lead the gunk come out. Repeat if necessary. - loralaey

4)   for goodness sake go and see your practice nurse - Nitram
