Question 2
i am skeptical about acupressure?...  is it really as good as people claim?

Answers
1)   I have had it done and it cured my chronic sinus inflammation - Lady Barstow

2)   It has been proven to help.. It can help ease pain, and get rid of minor injuries. Nothing wrong with trying it. - Concerned~

3)   So you should be sceptical it's complete and utter nonsense.

Claims that it works are unfortunately from people who don't know they are experiencing the placebo effect. - Michelle

4)   It looks like a placebo, and performs no better than a placebo. Therefore your assertion that it is just a placebo is absolutely reasonable. - JLI

5)   It works very well and you can find a number of websites that offer free instruction. There are quite a few books available through Amazon.
It's especially good for people who have an irrational fear of needles used in acupuncture. It doesn't have any drawbacks so go ahead and try it. I've used it successfully for years. - thenoseknows

6)   Total nonsense I'm afraid, and you're wise to question it.

Acupressure is just a spin-off of the acupuncture baloney, without the risk of infection from dirty needles. It's certainly not been shown to have any effect but this doesn't stop the general public from being conned into thinking it does by unscrupulous hoaxers.

"Acupressure and shiatsu are often described as "acupuncture without needles." They are based on metaphysical concepts of traditional Chinese medicine, which holds that "life energy (chi or qi)" flows through hypothetical (imaginary) channels called meridians and that ill health is due to energy blockages and/or "imbalances." Practitioners claim to restore health by correcting these alleged imbalances. They may also use irrational diagnostic methods to reach diagnoses that do not correspond to scientific concepts of health and disease. " - dave

7)   Yes, I have had it and it worked brilliantly. Go for it.

The placebo simply shows us that the body has an innate capacity to heal itself. The mind/body connection has a great deal of influence on our general health. We have the ability to heal ourselves before we end up with diseases in the end that really do require medical treatment. - The Skybird

Question 3
Is it true shrooms make your brain bleed?...  I heard shrooms make your brain bleed and that is what causes the trip...anything truth to it? if not, why do the shrooms make you trip? It IS food poisoning after all

Answers
1)   They do not make your brain bleed. They contain a hallucinogen. - First Last

2)   It's the introduction of psilocybin into your system that causes the trip. Yur brain does not bleed. - Willy The Bear

3)   well, lets think about this, if your brain starts to bleed. that is called a hemorrhage, which you would die from, end of story.

so if shrooms made your brain bleed... you would be dead, so no, they don't. - sexyzack154

4)   no, of course they don't make your brain bleed. that's called an aneurysm, which is usually fatal. and it's not actually poison at all. true shrooms are totally non-toxic, but if they've been picked in the wild, it's possible to mistake poisonous and sometimes lethal mushrooms for "psilocybin mushrooms", as wikipedia so scientifically calls them. they make you trip because they contain a psychoactive compound called psilocybin. when you eat this stuff, your body breaks it down into another compound, called psilocin, which is the chemical that's actually responsible for the hallucinations and whatnot. - sierra_star

5)   thats not true, the effects of "shrooms" are due to a chemical in the mushroom that breaks down into something vary similar chemically to Serotonin, similar enough to activate brain cells that respond to Serotonin. - evirustheslaye

6)   lol wtf. I ain't never heard of that. Why don't you try googling.
I know pills make your brain bleed. Like ecstacy..and such.. - Yours Truly

Question 4
I have ADD and I am confused,lost, and angry and have no Idea what to believe, are add meds unnecessary?...  I've always been weird and I get so many different opinions and beliefs that it's hard to find our what's actually true or not. When I am on add medications, I feel more normal, assertive, I can function, I feel a lot smarter, I don't get high but it tires my body a little bit when it wears off. I told my mom that it tires my body then she told me adderall is not good for me and that it is not helping me 0_0 she can " when she observes me" I need it to study and I feel complete on it. My psychiatrist told me I seriously have add. My mom thinks that I don't need medications and it's all in my head, but she is wrong because I only feel normal on medications. My other doctor told me it just might be depression, but I tried running on my treadmill for like 5-7 miles and I still don't feel that much better, well I feel a little bit better, but I still can't concentrate on anything nor am I assertive. My close friend that looks out for me told me the medication is just giving me a state of mind making it believe that I'm only normal when I'm on the medication, but I don't really know what to think of that when he told me that. I don't know what to believe.

This is what my friend told me

theo le 12:47 am

I have no idea what to believe in because I feel so complete on the medication. Someone please help me, I am lost, I don't know what to believe in..

1)   My daughter has ADHD and believe me, your mom is absolutely WRONG. Meds help! It is not all just in your head it is something that is real and there is a show on PBS that is really great it's called ADD and Loving It, if you can find it to watch somewhere on tv or maybe online, it would be good if you and your mom watched it together, it really explains well what goes on when you have ADD. Whatever you do, if YOU feel the meds are helping DO NOT stop taking them. Why make your life harder than it already is? Having and living with ADD is very frustrating when you do not treat it. Good luck! - Christine

2)   No psychiatrist can prove you have ADHD...it is an opinion based on symptoms. Check out the many conditions that mimic ADHD>>>http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/a/adhd/misdiag.htm#alternative_diagnoses

Of course you will feel more focused on adderal as it is an amphetamine. If you go to the drug dealer down the road lol you get can buy the cousin methamphetamine so you can see why your mother is not crash hot on you being on these drugs. Legal or illegal they are drugs and they all have side effects. "High doses and long-term use of amphetamines are associated with erectile disorder and other sexual dysfunctions." ummm >>>http://www.adderall.net/

50mg - 200mg Suntheanine (patented pure form of L-theanine - found in green tea) naturally stimulates activity in the brain known as alpha waves, which are associated with a relaxed but alert mental state. No adverse side effects. Used as a natural alternative to adderall.

Click on this link to see the brain wave activity of l theanine...slide the bar across from 45 to 105 minutes to see the effects. >>> http://www.lipton.com.au/ltheanine/brainwaves/index.html

3)   Start reading psychology books/studies relating to what your doctor has diagnosed you with. By understanding a little more of how the mind and body works/and doesn't work sometimes you will learn a great deal that will give you some of the answers you might be looking for, and more!

As for whether or not the meds truly work, from my own experiences of people who take ADD/ADHD meds they certainly work short-term and can be useful for periods in the day when the person taking them needs to be calmed down... however... the after effects are never nice.

My own belief is that there are people who are just 'more' hyperactive than others... which I think is a good thing! ...but these people seem to be a small minority and because of this they are unfairly forced to take medication to help then live with their 'condition' (I hate to use the term condition tbh)... so it's never going to be easy.

But like I say the more you learn about yourself on a biological level the better a person you'll become, regardless of who/what/how you are! - ffrr

4)   It's hard to argue with your mom and your best friend because they know you better than we do. What have your teachers said about you? Here is what I understand about ADD and the meds:
1) ADD is real. So is depression. Psychiatrists try to determine which one people have based on their evaluations.
2) You are the best one to know how you feel and what you need and what works for you. But you may just be beginning so it may be hit and miss for awhile
3) Given you have been honest with your psychiatrist and not fabricated feelings just to get meds, then they have perscribed for you what they think you need.
4) Keep communicating with your doctor. Make an appointment once a month until you are certain what you have and what you need. You are worth it.
5) Longterm, untreated ADD will most likely result it behaviours that become habits. So after meds start, you may still have some bad habits.
5) Adderall can act a bit like an anti depressant. You might be depressed still. But if the ADD med is working for you, just cut down on the dose so you don't have that wasted feeling at the end.

I feel for you because you are losing confidence because of what people near to you are saying. Try just being systematic about what's going on. Maybe you could journal for a month. Write down days you use the med and days you don't and how you feel and what you get done. - Mommy Honey

Question 5
Does St. John's wort really work on depression and anxiety?...  I thought about trying this pill since none of the pharmasceutical anti-depressants seem to be working for me. But I know the FDA doesn't approve it, so how do I legally get over this hurdle if I could manage to convince my doctor to try it?

Answers
1)   No. In fact, it might even make it WORSE. However, it MAY boost your immune system. Always consult your doctor before taking something you don't know about it in case you have an allergic reaction. Then they will know how to treat what is affecting you. - Paul Hxyz

2)   If you are looking for a natural alternative to drugs one might consider SAM-e ,kinda like a vitamin in health food stores and it works well.For anxiety look for Valerian or Kava-Kava,both work as a natural alternative.Good luck and God bless! - Bill C

3)   Yes it works for depression and anxiety.
http://www.holisticonline.com/herbal-med/_Herbs/h20.htm
There's no legal hurdle. Anyone can buy it at any health food store.
MD's are not trained in holistic/herbal medicine, so with a bit of research you'll end up knowing far more than your doctor. You don't need a doctor's approval anyway.
You can see a professional Homeopath or Naturopath -- they're the experts on non-drug treatments of acute and chronic illness and medical conditions.
MD's are trained to prescribe conventional drugs. Unless they're trained in both forms of medicine you might run into a brick wall of prejudice, because natural medicine is seen as the competition. - thenoseknows

4)   I am in the UK and therefore don't know what the situation is in the USA. I have personal experience with St John's Wort on several occasions and it has always helped me when I needed it. My body didn't agree with anti-depressants either.
They say the effects of St John's Wort won't kick in for a few weeks, but in my case it worked within a week - maybe because I wasn't taking any other medicine and because I try to treat things homeopathically. I found it very effective.
I agree with the entry of "thenoseknows" that says it is OK. Go and see a naturopath or homeopath or herbalist. A little word of warning though: St John's Wort can interfere with other medication you regularly take, as in my case I now can't take it any more, so be clear with whoever prescribes or sells it if you are on medication. Good luck. - Belgian maiden
