I suffer from chapped lips all year long, but the problem seems to get worse in the winter. I did some checking for tips on how to keep my lips soft and smooth. Here’s what I found:
Ayurvediccure.com says, “Keep the body hydrated by drinking lots of water. People who do not drink sufficient water are more prone to get dry lips and dry skin. Water or fluids keep the body moist which keeps the skin soft and supple. Apply lip balm or petroleum jelly on the lips to keep them smooth.” You shouldn’t lick your lips if they are dry. “Wetting [your] lips with [your] tongue makes the lips dark, and [they] lose moister. Stop wetting [your] lips with [your] tongue; apply moisturizer [instead]. Excessive use of lipsticks on the lips [also] makes them dark and dry. At times let them breathe without putting anything on them. Before applying lip color apply some lip balm or moisturizer on your lips to keep them moist. Always go in the sun wearing sunscreen on your lips. Otherwise lips get dry, dark and patchy.”
Ultimate-Cosmetics.comsays, “chuck your Chapstick. Conventional lip balms contain petroleum and sometimes alcohol, both of which dry the sensitive skin on your lips. Instead, moisturize and protect your parched, peeling lips with castor oil. Carry a small squeeze bottle of the oil and apply it with your finger often throughout the day. If you plan to be out in the sun, use a natural petroleum- and alcohol-free balm with an SPF of 15 a few minutes after rubbing in the castor oil.”

The moment she saw us, tears welled up in her eyes – there is nothing more shameful for a young bride than to see her husband helplessly drunk, staggering disgracefully in other woman’s arms.
I felt sorry for her.
It is true – to be married to a drunkard is the crown of all misery.
I lay him on the sofa, took off his shoes, put a pillow under his head – she, his wife, did not move but remained frozen with a look of anxious trepidation on her face.
The man who was dead drunk, Arun, lay in stupor, oblivious to the world.
It was only as I began to leave that his wife, Sadhana, rushed into my arms and broke down.
“He will be okay,” I hugged her warmly and comforted her.
“I want to die! I want to die!” she began screaming hysterically, “Why is this happening to me?”
I sat her down, gave her a glass of cold water from the fridge, and said, “Sadhana, you just go to sleep now. Arun will be absolutely well in the morning. You don’t say anything to him – just ignore him – let him go to office. Then I will come here and we will talk.”
“You will come?” she pleaded.
“Yes, I will come in the morning and everything will be okay,” I calmed her.
I drove home late at night, lay alone in my lonely bed, commiserating, unable to sleep, wondering what to do.
I knew I had to do something, for I loved Arun dearly.
Hey, don’t get me wrong. It’s not what you’re thinking.
Tell me, can a woman love a man without ever having made love to him? Can a woman love a man without falling in love with him?
Of course she can – you can take my word for it – like I loved Arun.
Maybe it was our mutual chemistry or I don’t know what, but we certainly shared fantastic vibes, and we did love each other – Platonic, Ethereal, buddy-love – call it what you like.
Arun was my colleague and developing feelings of fondness for someone who you are in close proximity with for more than least ten hours every day is very natural – but he was much more than my “work spouse” – he was my soul mate.
Arun was my classmate from our student days in the States and I was not only his constant companion at work and socially, but also his closest confidante.
In such cases it is a thin line between friendship and having an affair, but we never crossed that line.
There were no secrets between us except the time he suddenly went to his hometown in the interiors of the mofussil and dutifully got married to the girl his parents had chosen for him.
Then he rang me up in the office, told me the news without much ado, and peremptorily commanded me to get his flat ready and come to the Mumbai Central Railway Station to receive him and his newly wedded wife.
I liked Arun’s wife Sadhana too.
She was a plump, graceful girl with a very pretty face and a sincere friendly smile which radiated a charming innocence.
She readily accepted me as a friend with honesty and openness, and generously understood my relationship with Arun without a trace of suspicion, envy or rancour.
I could not bear to see the poor innocent girl suffer like this.
Tomorrow I would talk to her, counsel her, and talk to Arun, and find a solution, make them more compatible, so that they could be happy, have a fun marriage.
But first let me tell you how it all started.
Arun loved his drink.
In fact, he loved his drink a bit too much.
I think he had an innate propensity for alcohol.
I noticed this and told him once or twice and then let it go as it was early days and maybe he was just enjoying himself, and I too didn’t quite mind sharing a spot of cheer in his affable company.
Maybe his parents knew this, his penchant for the bottle, and, maybe they thought that marriage was the panacea, and then they saw Sadhana, and said to themselves: “She is a very good girl, from a cultured family, excellent upbringing – I am sure she will bring improve him with her love and he will mend his ways after marriage. She’ll take care of him. Bring him around.”
It’s true; many people do seem to think the marriage is the easiest solution to many ills, like alcoholism, and everything will suddenly be happy ever after.
Sadhana’s marriage was a social triumph for her parents. She was an ordinary looking small town girl studying in college and it was almost a miracle, a stroke of good fortune, that the elders of the best known family in the town had come all the way their modest house, the girl’s parents, to ask for her hand in marriage to their son – a well-educated foreign returned top management executive.
It was a grand wedding; but I have heard somewhere that, sometimes, a grand wedding results in a disastrous marriage.
At first Arun too was quite happy at his newly acquired simple naïve “provincial” wife who he thought would be unquestioningly obedient and acquiesce to his every whim and fancy.
Sadhana turned out exactly as he expected – a nurturing, caring, loving wife who did exactly what he wanted, pampered him to glory and unquestioningly submitted to all his demands, except one – she did not allow even a drop of alcohol in their house. In this she did not yield.
On her first day she cleaned out his well stocked bar, simply throwing all the bottles of expensive booze down the garbage chute.
Arun tried to reason with her, explained the ways of cosmopolitan culture, but Sadhana stuck to her guns, defiant.
And when all of us at the office suddenly landed up for impromptu dinner with the big boss presenting Arun a bottle of his favourite Single Malt, Sadhana promptly drained the precious whisky down the sink saying, “This daru is evil stuff,” and then served us a delicious spur-of-the-moment meal.
This was the last straw!
I noticed Arun seethe in silence feeling totally humiliated in front of his colleagues, his juniors, his friends, and me, but he did not say anything.
He reacted the next day – from that day onwards he started drinking with vengeance.
Arun started drinking at the club bar on his way home from work every night.
At first I would give him company, but soon I stopped accompanying him, as his drinking grew from bad to worse and his behaviour would often become nasty after a few drinks.
And now this – a call at midnight from the club secretary that my colleague and friend Arun had passed out stone drunk in the bar and would I please take him away as they had to close up.
Next morning, I left the office around ten thirty, telling Arun that I was not feeling well and went straight to his house.
Sadhana was waiting for me.
“Shall we have tea?” she asked.
“No. Let’s go to the club,” I hustled her out of the house and bundled her into my car overruling her protests, “We can be more discreet there,” I said hinting at the servants, but I had other plans.
It was early, the club was empty.
I chose a lonely inconspicuous table and ordered a Pina Colada Cocktail for myself and a Soft Drink for Sadhana.
“You’ve got to help him,” I said to Sadhana, coming straightaway to the point, not giving her a chance to start her sob story.
“Help him? Of course I want to help him. But how?”
“You adapt a bit, and he too will change and get better.”
“Adapt? What should I do?”
“Give him company.”
“What?”
“Be his friend. Spend your evenings with him.”
“But he goes to the club every evening.”
“Go to the club with him, sit with him, meet his friends, chat, talk to him, and make friends with him. He will feel good. In fact, I would suggest that you join him in a drink once in a while and have a little fun.”
“What?” Sadhana said flabbergasted, “You want me to drink liquor? In my home I have not even seen a drop of alcohol…”
“Relax, Sadhana, don’t be so dogmatic,” I took her hands in mine and calmed her down, “You are in a different society now. There is no harm in having a small cocktail, or some wine – now-a-days everyone does – even I do.”
“No. No…”
“Here, sip this,” I said giving her my glass of the lip-smacking sweet creamy Pina Colada.
“No. No. I can’t have this bitter strong stuff,” she protested.
“Try it, just once,” I insisted, almost forced her, and she took a tiny sip.
“It’s sweet and delicious isn’t it? Now if you have a little bit for Arun’s sake, he will start enjoying your company. Arun needs companionship. Tell me Sadhana, isn’t it better he has a drink with you than his hard drinking friends – that he rather spends his time in your company than with his good-for-nothing friends who are out to ruin him?”
Sadhana gave me a hesitant look, but did not say anything.
But I could sense her desperation deep within that would make her try out anything, any remedy, any cure.
I looked into her eyes and said, “The trick is to wean him away from hard drinking to social drinking. That’s what will happen once he starts enjoying your company. I am telling you again. Be his friend. Spend your evenings with him. Go to the club, sit with him, have a drink. Arun will feel good. He will start liking you. Now drinking is his priority – soon you will be his priority.”
“I don’t know…” Sadhana faltered.
“Trust me. Try it. It will make life easier for both of you. Stop trying to control him. It will never work. I know Arun well. If you nag him you will drive him away from you. Confrontations, threats, arguments – with these he will only get worse. Come on, Sadhana, for Arun’s sake, for your sake, give it a try, I am sure he will respond positively.”
Sadhana looked anxiously at me, nervous, unsure, yet desperate.
I stood up walked to her and gave her a loving hug, “You two are newly married. I want you to be able to laugh, relax, have fun and enjoy life to its fullest!”
She hugged me in return.
“Promise me you’ll give it a try,” I said.
“I will try my best,” she promised.
It worked.
Arun sobered down.
And though he did enjoy his drinks – I never saw him drunk again.
The metamorphosis in Sadhana was truly fascinating.
The way she had transformed herself from a conservative Small Town Girl from the heart of the mofussil into a chic crème-de-la-crème socialite was remarkable, almost unbelievable. I would often see her sipping exotic colourful cocktails rubbing shoulders with the cream of society.
There was a time when Arun was ashamed of showing off his wife; now his heart swelled with pride and admiration as everyone noticed and praised her. They were the toast of society; the crowning glory was when they were crowned the “Made for Each Other Couple” at the New Year Eve Ball at the club.
Their marriage started rocking.
In fact their marriage rocked so much that soon comprehension dawned on me that there cannot be three persons in a marriage and I gracefully withdrew from their lives, changed my job, relocated and, yes, believe it or not, I got married to a nice young man and commenced a blissful married life of my own.
Of course, Arun and Sadhana attended my marriage, and at my wedding reception Sadhana seemed to be in a vivaciously celebratory mood, swinging brightly and dancing wildly, downing glass after glass of Champagne.
My new husband and I honeymooned on a luxury cruise liner, sailing to exotic locales – a wedding gift from Arun and Sadhana.
At first we kept in touch, but with the passage of time, as I settled comfortably in the cocoon of wedded bliss, the communication became less and less, and when we relocated abroad to the States we lost touch altogether.
It was three years before I visited Mumbai again, and the first thing I did after depositing my baggage in the hotel was to head towards Arun’s flat on Marine Drive.
It was early and I wanted to catch him home before he left for work.
Arun and Sadhana were not at home. “Saheb and Memsaheb have gone to the Ashram,” the servants said.
“Ashram?” I said surprised, and asked whether they could give me his mobile number.
They did, and I rang up Arun on his cell phone, “Hey, Arun, what are you two doing in an Ashram – given up the material world and taken up the spiritual path?”
“No. No. It’s not that. This is not really the type of Ashram you are thinking; it’s a nature cure clinic,” Arun said.
“Nature Cure Clinic?”
“Not exactly, you can say it’s a de-addiction centre, a sort of rehab.”
“Rehab? You promised me Arun, you promised me that you’d cut down your drinking…for her sake…poor thing…I hate you Arun…”
“Stop it!” Arun interrupted angrily, “It’s not me. I’ve given up drinking. It’s Sadhana – she’s become an alcoholic.’
“What?” I said, stunned.
“Yes. My wife has become an alcoholic. Thanks to you and your stupid advice. And now will you please leave us alone?” Arun said angrily and disconnected.
I cannot begin to describe the emotion I felt at that moment, but one thing is sure: I have never ever felt so terribly guilty in my life, before or since, till this very day.

There is lots of confusion today about sickness and disease … even about natural disasters like hurricanes, tsunamis, and earthquakes. The confusion lies in the “cause” of such things. Let G-d reveal the source of your problems, so you can be a candidate for healing. You can be healed today!
There is lots of confusion today about sickness and disease … even about natural disasters like hurricanes, tsunamis, and earthquakes. The confusion lies in the “cause” of such things. Even the insurance companies try to “opt out” of liability for such things as “natural disasters” which they refer to in their policy exclusions as “acts of G-d.”
Even in some synagogues and churches it is being taught that everything that comes your way is G-d’s will for you and (in particular) that if you are suffering sickness or disease, G-d is trying to teach you something. However, it is best to let the Word of G-d speak for itself. In the Torah we see in Deuteronomy Chapter 28 that sickness and disease is a curse … NOT a blessing.
When Messiah Yeshua was on earth, He said, “If you have seen me, you have seen the Father.” In other words, you have seen the Father’s nature. If you read the Brit Chadashah (the Jewish New Testament), you will quickly see that Yeshua (Jesus) never made anyone sick. As in the Torah, we see that disobedience CAN cause the curse of sickness and disease. Also, because of Adam’s (original) sin in the Garden of Eden, man was separated from G-d. When man was separated from G-d, he was separated from the life source.
This is WHY G-d sent His Son to earth, to HEAL the separation between G-d and man. The atonement of Yeshua, G-d’s Son, on the cross stake paid for our sins … and purchased our healing (spiritual, mental, and physical) by His BLOOD that was shed. Messiah Yeshua’s blood contained the life of G-d. Messiah was born of a virgin, and therefore His blood did NOT contain the sinful blood from Adam’s seed line. His blood was the one-time FINAL payment for our sins, and brought us into right standing (or, righteousness) with G-d, whereby we have wholeness when we exercise our faith in Messiah’s sacrifice for us.
We see from the scriptures how sickness and disease is from the Evil One, and NOT from the Father G-d. Messiah NEVER refused healing to anyone. “How G-d anointed Yeshua (Jesus) of Nazareth who went about doing good, and healing ALL that were oppressed of the devil, for G-d was with Him.” (Brit Chadashah: Acts 10:38) “And Yeshua went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.” (Brit Chadashah: Mattiyahu [Matthew] 9:35) Sickness and disease are from the devil. Healing and health are from G-d. Don’t be confused about the source(s) of sickness and disease … even about natural disasters like hurricanes, tsunamis, and earthquakes. I’ll give you something to help you the rest of your life. Put the devil on the left side and Messiah on the right side with this verse from John 10:10 in the Jewish New Testament. Yeshua said, “The thief (the devil) comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; but I (Messiah) have come that you might have life, and have it more abundantly.” Now you will be able to discern where things have their source; how and why they happen.
If you need healing today, or if you need miracles – real miracles – then pray this prayer: “Father in Heaven, I ask you to reveal to me if Yeshua (Jesus) is my Messiah. I need healing; I need a miracle. Please heal me. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name I pray. Amen.”
I know this teaching will help you. Write and let me know what G-d has done for you. Email to: princehandley@gmail.com

Prince Handley

Portland Firefly has some very good news ….. in fact Portland Firefly has some great news to share with everyone!!!
This week, at my regularly scheduled appointment, my Doctor gave me the option of not having any more Chemo at all or continuing with what is termed ‘maintance Chemotherapy’. In any event I have at least one month without Chemotherapy to think about it. Yea!!!!!
I was so nauseated last session with just one drug, and every time I have Chemo, the side effects become more intense. I am so-o-o-o happy to have the option of not having to put poison into my body for a while.
Right now I would like to think ~and sometimes I do~ that I am cured. But intellectually I know the cold hard facts of this horrible cancer and I know that the possibility of recurrence is very real. The only variable is when…. it decides to come back. I have put myself on the 7 year (or longer) survival plan. I would be so happy with seven more years. But right now I am thrilled with the fact that I’ll most probably definately have the next year!!!
CURE Childhood Cancer is pleased to present CURE Childhood Cancer’s 2008-2009 Annual Report. We are thrilled and proud to be able to report to you on the progress we made over the past year on behalf of children with cancer as a result of your support.
As you know, finding a cure for cancers that affect children is our highest priority. To that end, your support enabled us to invest nearly $1.2 million in six specific research projects aimed at better understanding the genetic and biological mechanisms through which childhood cancers arrive and further developing therapies aimed at beating these cancers. CURE’s investment paid off last year with an exciting discovery of a new target in cancer cells. Finding a way to attack that new target could lead to improved treatments for children with leukemia and other cancers.
Additionally, CURE funded scientists made significant progress in research relating to medulloblastoma, the most common brain tumor among children. This research uncovered a link between medulloblastoma and high levels of a gene known as wild-type p53-induced phosphatase or WIP1 (pronounced whip one). With CURE’s funding, scientists are working to establish why WIP1 seems to cause medulloblastoma in children and why WIP1 seems to protect cancer cells. A compound has been identified that appears to prevent WIP1 from working and seems to stop the growth of cells in test tubes. Our goal is to determine if the compound will be an effective therapy for children with this devastating form of brain cancer.
Discoveries that result in children’s lives saved take time, but they do happen. Thank you for being a part of significant discoveries that offer hope to children with cancer.
Of course, while working on scientific discoveries, CURE is focused on supporting the children battling cancer today and their families. Our efforts, outlined in the Annual Report, are aimed at addressing the critical and urgent needs of patients and their families because we believe families most need crisis oriented support.
Your generosity makes our work possible. We truly cannot thank you enough.
My family doesn’t just deal with autism on a daily basis. We also deal with alcoholism. So for the last couple years, I’ve been attending Al-anon and ACOA (adult children of alcoholics) meetings. I first sat in the rooms about a month or two after autism was floated as a possibility for G’s difficulties in preschool. My husband had also been in recovery for a month or two (come to think of it, I wonder if autism may have contributed to his recovery – thoughts for another day…) I was full of anger and resentment. All through my life, I was the ‘good girl’ who never broke a rule or stepped out of line. And now my life was completely out of control and I was incredibly pissed off about it. It took me quite awhile, but the first three steps slowly started sinking in.
I admitted I was powerless over alcohol, that my life had become unmanageable.
I came to believe that a power greater than myself could restore me to sanity.
I made a decision to turn my will and my life over to the care of my higher power.
This is not as easy as it sounds for me, note the use of ‘higher power’ in place of the more commonly used “god.” I’m an atheist who doesn’t believe in anything if it hasn’t been proven by science. But I was pretty desperate to get help, so I was able to cobble together a pantheistic type theory of a connected universe and the alanon group itself as a knowledge base with answers to common problems that works for me. When I need to ‘turn it over’ I have an image of a helium balloon with my worries tied to its ribbon, and I release it to the universe. (it’s ok, you can laugh. The important thing is I found a way to make it work with my cynicism.)
All my life, I had been a fixer. Control was incredibly important to my sense of well-being so when I ran into a problem, I set myself to fixing it with all my energy, so that my peace and ease could be restored. I fixed my problems, I fixed my husbands problems, I fixed my sibling’s problems. But I could not fix my son’s problems and this was cause for great distress. I did a lot of research into biomedical treatments, causes of autism, vaccines, and the like. I feel my cynical atheistic attitude actually helped me here because I could see that the science behind these aspects was sketchy at best, and nothing I, personally, could trust. But that left me without a way to fix things for G and that was incredibly upsetting to me.
Then, an incredible thing happened. While sitting in the rooms one evening after the holidays, when the transition back to school was particularly stressful and volatile for G, I substituted the word ‘autism’ for ‘alcoholism.’ I suddenly felt a great weight lift from my shoulders. I was powerless over autism. By trying to exert power over autism, I was causing my life to become unmanageable. Believing in a power greater than myself, and greater than autism, could restore me to sanity. I made a decision to turn my will over to my higher power instead of trying to exert my will on autism, and therefore my child.
This doesn’t mean I have given up on my son – I still try to help him in every reasonable way I can so that he may learn coping skills and life skills, and I advocate for him in the community until he is ready to take on the role of advocate for himself. The key word is reasonable. I recognize that I can’t make him be different because his autism is a part of him. I can’t make him learn faster than his own pace. I can’t force change, it has to evolve naturally. And the small steps we take each day toward independence will be more effective than the miracle concoctions, diet changes and assorted cures being sold to me on the internet.
I was able to put my new found theory into practice last month when G started school. It has been one of the most challenging transitions of his school career. (so far) When the parents of classmates started making complaints, I became overwhelmed by the stress of it all. So I consciously sat down and worked my first three steps with autism in mind. And it helped enormously. I was able to focus on doing what I could to help G and to effect change in the attitudes of the people around him. I recognized the things I couldn’t change – specifically that G was going to have to do the work of adjusting on his own. I could support him with checklists for his schedule, snacks to keep him energized and introductory letters to parents, but I couldn’t change G into some kind of model student.
Sometimes when I read other blogs and blog comments, I can hear the anger and frustration in the voice of the parent. I’ve been there. I recognize that feeling and I still struggle from time to time. Finding a mechanism to achieve serenity has made such an incredible difference in our family. Because I’m not as irritable, my family is not as on edge. We’re able to take things as they come and enjoy the good moments more fully.
I’ll close with this final nugget:
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change
If you make a mistake, or many mistakes, you’ll easily lose your mental health, because love plays the most important role in your life and when you are in love you are like a blind slave of the person that imprisons your heart. Therefore you agree to do the most absurd things in order to posses the person you desire and to keep them near you even if they don’t want to, only because you desperately need to be near this person and keep them near you as long as you live.
Love and Mental Health
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Christina_Sponias]Christina Sponias
Love matters are the first ones that provoke various abnormalities to your conscience and to your behavior.
If you desire to keep your mental health and the person you love near you for life, you have to pay attention to many details you are not considering now.
The details you have to pay attention to are so many that without guidance, you are not going to discover them.
The personality of each person is an entire world. Besides all the characteristics of each one’s psychological type, there are many characteristics that are the result of the imitation of other people’s behavior and several other factors that determine the person’s reactions, which are simply inherited and belong to the cognitive mechanism of the human being, who follows behavior patterns like all animals.
Living with company is not easy.
Sharing your life with someone else is a very delicate question that demands caution and preparation.
If you make a mistake, or many mistakes, you’ll easily lose your mental health, because love plays the most important role in your life and when you are in love you are like a blind slave of the person that imprisons your heart.
Therefore you agree to do the most absurd things in order to posses the person you desire, to keep them near you even if they don’t want to, to block their freedom, to make them love you too, to force various situations to your favor and many things more, only because you desperately need to be near this person and keep them near you as long as you live.
You don’t pay attention to any details and you don’t even want to think logically, because you prefer to fly, involved in the magical feeling that the strong passion brings you when you think about them.
However, when everything goes wrong, you lose the floor under your feet.
You cannot accept to stay far from the person you desire so much, you cannot accept their refusal or the problems that don’t depend on their will and impede you both to be together.
You can even kill someone if your crazy love will dominate you completely, and you’ll believe that this is “the only solution” you have if you want to posses them and live with them forever.
Depression, craziness, despair and suicide attempts will complete your path if you follow this crazy feeling, without paying attention to anything else and without respecting anyone.
This is why love and mental health are strictly connected and if you want to keep both, you have to be serious!

Typically, yeast contamination is a consequence of a fungus contamination called Candida Albicans. There are many cures for yeast, ranging from without prescription drugs to prescriptions and holistic remedies. Holistic remedies are those that use herbal and homeopathic healing treatments to heal yeast.
The most essential thing that you had better know about yeast infection remedies is that there are those that heal the contagion on the surface, and not the primary cause. You will discover a yeast medication is not the correct one when you use the medicine and the infection comes up again. Be advised that continuous superficial medication will develop continuing yeast contagion.
In order to get the proper cure for yeast, it is first important to find out the inherent conditions that when improved, will assist to buttress the treatments for yeast. Such fundamental conditions are things like a atrophied body immune system as a result of afflictions such as diabetes, stress or virus infections; and a poor diet lacking indispensable food supplements.
Some of the established holistic remedies for yeast contagions involve taking aloe Vera and covering the affected area on the surface, yarrow, calendula ad goldenseal have also proven to be good herbal remedies for yeast contagions. The last three can be administered through douching or be ingested as tea. Maitake tea can also be ingested, and Pau d’arco, a reputable natural antifungal aids destroy the yeast infection and alleviates one from the itching.
Ingesting a lot of plain yogurt, consuming cranberry juice, applyingdiluted tea tree oil on the contaminated parts, consuming and applying garlic on the contaminated regions have also all proven to begood treatments of yeast.
Contrarily, remedies for yeast contamination can only be efficient if you have the proper interpretation of the condition. There are numerous ailments and contaminations that mimic the symptoms of yeast infections, and diagnosing incorrectly yeast will mean that your yeast will keep coming back.

Male thrush is a type of yeast infection which results from the overgrowth of fungus candida albicans in the body. Typically, the fungus occurs naturally on the individual body, but it is at all times keptundermanageable levels by the presenceof particular bacteria. minorchanges can easily and very swiftly disturb this bacteria balance out, making Candida albicans to multiply, resulting in a male thrush.
Male thrush reveals itself in various spots in the body,placesthat have got optimal environmentfor the fungus to thrive in such as under the nailbeds, in the mouth, on the skinbut mainly in thepelvic regions. This is worsened by the datum that it is easily spread through intercoursal with a female mate affected with thrush.
As soon as male thrush exhibits itself on the areas surrounding the penis, it can easily be perplexedwith other male infections. But suitable diagnosis is crucial to be able to get the exact male thrush cure. Men Tend to delay in seeking male thrush treatment, perhaps owing to the mortification that emanates along with telling some of the indications that influence the condition.
You will understamd you have a male thrush once you start having intermittent reddish spots on the dome of the penis, or on its covers. Also when scratchy red patches foundoccurring in the saidpart. Pain while passing urine and during sexual interaction is another clear sign of male thrush. A cottage cheese-like penile dischargebeneath the epithelium and skin eruptions that cannot be described, foundusually on the scrotal sac and beneath the armpits are other male thrush pointers.
conversely, oral male thrush will reveals itself in the appearance ofextremely viscous, whitish tongue, scratchy wounds and pain while swallowing anything. Male thrush is very irksome and upsetting, and any signs and symptoms of the infection should alarm one to findremedial advice as soon as possible.

Se il nervo è intrappolato nel tunnel, vale la pena farselo sbrigliare; ma se si preferisce stare alla larga dai chirurghi, la differenza, alla fine, non è poi così rilevante. È salomonico il verdetto dello studio pubblicato oggi su Lancet. Un gruppo di ricercatori dell’Università di Washington a Seattle ha assegnato casualmente all’intervento chirurgico o a un trattamento di altro tipo un centinaio di persone con sindrome del tunnel carpale.
Si tratta di una condizione frequente, che nelle sue prime fasi si manifesta solo con formicolii e sensazione di gonfiore alle prime tre dita della mano, soprattutto di notte e al mattino, ma che si può evolvere dando un dolore al polso che si irradia a tutto l’avambraccio. Alla fine il nervo intrappolato può cominciare a far fatica a trasmettere i suoi messaggi, e si può osservare una riduzione della forza e della sensibilità. «In questi casi l’intervento diventa di rigore» spiega Jeffrey Jarvik, che ha coordinato il lavoro. «Prima che si arrivi a questo punto, però, si può anche provare a trovare sollievo dai disturbi con fisioterapia e ultrasuoni».
È quello che hanno provato a verificare gli studiosi statunitensi. «In effetti, dopo tre mesi dall’operazione, si osservava un miglioramento dei sintomi e della funzione della mano che si faceva sentire ancora dopo un anno» racconta l’autore, che aggiunge: «Tuttavia, alcune delle persone operate hanno riferito che il loro problema non si era risolto e oltre il 60 per cento di coloro in cui si sono provati altri metodi di cura non ha avuto bisogno, in un secondo tempo, di ricorrere al chirurgo».
Se quindi la chirurgia si conferma utile, non lo è tanto da diventare una scelta obbligata. «Oltre a una valutazione dei costi dei due diversi approcci» commenta Christina Gummesson, dell’Università di Lund, in Svezia, «occorre tener conto anche delle preferenze individuali, che di volta in volta possono cambiare sulla base di motivazioni personali molto diverse tra loro».
Le ragioni che spingono a farsi operare o no sono state indagate in un altro studio effettuato in Corea del Sud su una serie di donne a cui, dopo una diagnosi confermata all’elettromiografia, era stata consigliata una soluzione chirurgica. Il tempo di attesa era di circa un mese e durante questo periodo una trentina di loro ha avuto un ripensamento e si è tirata indietro. «La maggior parte aveva cambiato idea perché nel frattempo i disturbi erano migliorati» dice Moon Sang Chung, chirurgo ortopedico dell’Università di Seul, nella Corea del sud, che ha coordinato il lavoro, «sebbene molte avessero citato anche la paura del dolore, i problemi legati alla temporanea inabilità, i costi dell’operazione».
Allo stesso modo, quelle che invece erano arrivate fino in sala operatoria lo avevano fatto per il disagio e i limiti provocati dalla malattia, non tanto perché il chirurgo della mano glielo avesse prescritto, gli esiti dell’elettromiografia fossero preoccupanti o temessero danni a lungo termine. In altre parole, non c’entrano tanto i risultati più o meno favorevoli degli esami o la paura che la malattia progredisca.
Il criterio con cui le donne decidono di farsi operare per una sindrome del tunnel carpale o, viceversa, preferiscono tenersela, è il più banale del mondo: dipende solo da quanto dà fastidio il nervo mediano intrappolato tra ossa e legamenti a livello del polso. «La conclusione della nostra inchiesta non era però così ovvia» precisa Chung. «Ad altri interventi ci si sottopone sulla base di indagini che mostrano anomalie o per evitare che un problema si possa aggravare». In questo caso, invece, si cerca solo sollievo.
I have a beef with overpaid people. Like movie stars that earn 20 million per movie. Like pro athletes who have 100 million dollar contracts over 5 years or more, depending on the sport… I just feel like they’re not worth that much – no one is that talented. No one should make the same amount of money in their lifetime as the national debt of a small country. How is that logical? Most of these people never finished school, and all they do is memorize some lines or hit a ball with a bat. It blows my mind.
And all I keep thinking about is what if all those ridiculous celebrity and athlete salaries went to medecine so they can find a cure for diseases already. Mind you, there’s currently a little known conspiracy going on involving pharmaceutical companies. I watched a medical program about a rare form of cancer that affects children. The medical staff interviewed on the show said they have a cure, but since the amount of children that are afflicted with this form of cancer is so low compared to the actual cost of making the cure, the pharmaceutical companies refuse to make it because it’s not profitable. So instead of making the cure at a loss, they choose to not make it and the children are so few that it’s an acceptable loss. True story. It makes me sick.
Haven’t you ever wondered why there was so much progress in the field of medicine, exponential growth really for several decades, with vaccines and cures popping up left and right, vaccines for chicken pox, polio, the measles, mumps, hepatitis, yellow fever, you name it. And then it just stopped? Now we have all kinds of forms of cancer, Aids, and other incurable diseases and they “can’t find a cure”. The truth that they’re not telling us is that selling the meds to allow these people to live a few more years (or many years in some cases) is more profitable for the pharmaceutical companies than curing them. It’s all quite sickening.
Deep thought of the day:
The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for.
There are reports that an AIDS vaccine may have been discovered. If this is so then the prayers of millions have been answered and maybe we will see the day when human, plant and animal, diseases, sicknesses, illnesses and ailments are cured, here and everywhere, now and forever, pleasurably and non-regrettably.
A lady doctor named Dr Suzanne Gudakunst has just release what many are calling the end of the need for potentially harmful weight-loss drugs and designer foods made to help you lose weight.
Dr Suzanne’s discovery allows anyone regardless of their particular diet to do “just one simple thing” and instantly start shedding anywhere from 15 lbs to as much as 200 lbs of unwanted and dangerous fat!
Typical results average 45 lbs in just the first 30 days alone for most people just starting out using her new secret.
The reason this is so is because her secret (aptly titled: “Top Secret Fat Loss Secret”) operates on an entirely different approach in the battle against the ever-increasing “bulge.”
Dr Suzanne discovered that harmful crusty “plaque” builds up over the years in all of us – and which is the direct result of harmful chemicals, preservatives, pesticides, etc. deliberately placed in perhaps every food on the market (much of which is now suspected as being carefully and intentionally done so that people will continue to get fatter and thus sicker, and in order to make the food & drug companies richer!)
The result: This harmful plaque is responsible for your weight gain because is BLOCKS your body’s natural ability to absorb proper nutrition – and which causes two (2) chief things to occur:
>> Your body starves no matter how much you eat – so by not
feeling satisfied you continue to stuff your face and get very
very fat (and eventually at the permanent cost of your
health!)
>> Your body thinks it’s starving so your ‘hypothalamus’
adjusts your metabolism to burn food much, much slower in
an effort to store food – thus making you even more and
more fatter than even before!
So it makes sense that if and when you REMOVE this unwanted “garbage” from lacing your ‘insides,’ you will naturally start dissolving the fat and “stored chunks of lard” that disfigure an otherwise more attractive and healthier frame and sexier body.
As if this ‘plaque’ goop weren’t enough, Dr Suzanne identified multitudes of specific species of “parasites” (i.e., little worm-like “critters” – some which have ‘fangs’ but no eyes) living inside nearly 99.964% of all people’s small and large intestines in the United States alone, and about 92.36% of people on average worldwide.
These parasites excrete (meaning they take a CRAP inside YOU!) a jelly-like “SLUDGE” they coats your insides and which is very, very harmful and extremely TOXIC!
Additionally, much like the plaque, they often steal your nutrition which in turn again causes your body to believe it’s starving, and as a defense you continue even more just to get FATTER and FATTER!
These parasites usually end up dying (but not before laying millions of eggs!) — and once they die they fossilize forming a coral-like barrier preventing your even further from absorbing the correct amounts of proper nutrition.
When these parasites are FLUSHED from your guts, you end up magically losing tons of fat and extra weight – and even WITHOUT making one slight change to your diet or how much you eat!
SHOCKINGLY, these same “little critters (as Dr Suzanne calls them) actually release chemical “messengers” that make you crave foods that you are not even supposed to eat at all!
People who get rid of the parasites, therefore, suddenly find that they no longer even desire the Cheetos, pork rinds, jelly-filled treats, and 10,000’s of other equally deadly so-called “foods.”
In the past 6 years alone Dr Suzanne has tested her amazing new discovery and “TOP SECRET Fat Loss Secret” privately with a select group of volunteers, and seen results that fall nothing short of the truly FANTASTIC!
For instance, a Chicago woman who weighed until recently a whopping 587 lbs and who had even been visited by a living-legendary diet and fitness guru (name withheld by request), but who after much direct assistance from him (the guru) was not able to shed even 1 lb, suddenly dropped 449 lbs from her body weight in under 5 months using Dr Suzanne’s SECRET! — and she didn’t change or reduce one thing she regularly ate in her diet!
Now the woman weighs just 138 lbs, looks like a completely different woman altogether — and as if that weren’t enough, she became a swimsuit model for a well-known company! (But most importantly, this woman added who knows how many years to her life as a direct result of using Dr Suzanne’s “Top Secret Fat Loss Secret!”)
Another equally tearfully-joyous account was of a woman named Lisa Stephens from Ohio who was told her diabetes could “never” be cured or reversed — and this by countless doctors.
After shedding over 156 lbs in just 91 days of having used this same amazing revolutionary breakthrough secret discovered by Dr Suzanne, her diabetes is gone completely and she no longer depends on insulin just to be able to survive!
These kinds of results are flooding Dr Suzanne’s email each and everyday from all over the world (not just from North America — which has by far the fattest population as a group).
And even though you like me recognize these results as both newsworthy and for the common good of humanity as a whole, there are some who are literally out to get the good lady doctor.
Recently investigators began carefully keeping an extra protective eye on Dr Suzanne after she received death threats from “individuals” purportedly connected to the vast drug empires and weight-loss food manufacturing companies.
It would appear on the face of it that Dr Suzanne’s “Top Secret Fat Loss Secret” must really work, because if it didn’t no one would care to bring her harm.
This would be akin to an inventor discovering how to make a car that runs on water instead of gas assassinated by the major auto manufacturers!
Investigators insist that the reason she received threats is largely because what she is doing may actually make people healthier, leaner, sexier and trimmer, as well as make them live longer fuller lives — and as a result they stand to lose lots of money (possibly BILLIONS of dollars!!)
The BEST part of her secret is that it’s nothing difficult to do, and it doesn’t require a major change in either your lifestyle or diet.
In fact, “Nature’s actually on our side” according to Dr Suzanne, as her solution to the arduous ills of fat and obesity is simply the ingestion of Nature’s own ‘protections’ against both the harmful death-causing/obesity-causing plaque as well as the nasty little critters living in your bowels!
Anyone with anywhere from just a few extra pounds to those 100 lbs or more overweight must as a rule now secure for themselves Dr Suzanne’s “TOP SECRET Fat Loss Secret” (and before someone tries to lobby against you ever discovering what’s truly in it!)
I recognize a great thing when I see one — and THIS SECRET is definitely the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen.
We all know that people are just getting fatter and fatter, and more and more UNHEALTHY – so this is a secret whose time is long overdue.
While many people may tell you to just stick to your diet, exercise to the point of exhaustion, etc, the naysayers will definitely be disappointed when they find out that Dr Suzanne’s cure to obesity is completely NATURAL!
If you want the good doctor’s secret for yourself and so that no one can ever take it away from you or steal out of your hands, then all you need to do is grab your own PDF copy here:
=> http://AFF_ID.fatsecret.hop.clickbank.net
But I have to warn you of two (2) things:
1. Pay processors are already struggling to keep up with orders as this SECRET is now one of the most sought after things anywhere online! (So if you put off, don’t be surprised to find you can’t even place your order, and may not receive notice as to when order-taking may resume.)
2. Dr Suzanne in an effort to get people to get off their butts and to take action for their own good, is making it available at nearly HALF OFF just for people getting over there TODAY through the next 48 hours only — after that, the low price now nearly DOUBLES! (So you’d best beat the crowds over there NOW!)
So if you’re wise, and want to grab her secret before something unforeseen forever prevents you from doing so, then you’d best do what I did and go secure it now at:
=> http://samgrg.fatsecret.hop.clickbank.net
How many times have you seen sudden “breakthroughs” of such great controversy potentially come along and cause a woman doctor to actually get death threats for her secret ‘know-how?’ — You’re right … very, very few.
So don’t overlook this email as it may very well prove to be one of the most influential and important ones you’ve ever received…
A cure for fevers? Absurd! Well, maybe not. I had a fever (and various other symptoms) today. I drank like 3 glasses of sweet tea (with some artificial sweeter. They never put enough sugar in that bottled stuff!) to perk me up a bit; I didn’t want to fall asleep on the couch. Anyway, my mom took my temp. a few minutes before I drank the tea, and a few minutes after I drank it (purely coincidental) and it went from 101.5 to exactly 98.6! I only did it that one time so it could be just me. To make it more accrate, next time you have a fever, take your temperature, drink a few glasses of tea, and take your temp. again. Then post your results here in a comment and I’ll post the results! Yay science!

My (Sal) reason for creating this website is because I’ve been “directly” affected by this health issue. Diabetes has been a health issue in my family for generations, which I personally need to take some precautions to fight this health battle in my genes-of course, with the help of my Lord-Amen?
I love sugar since day 1. I love sweets, which I would seek and find around the kitchen back at home. Since I’ve come to a personal relationship with Christ, I’ve been educated from the Word to keep my “…body as a living sacrifice to God, holly and pleasing to Him!” (Romans 12:1).
It’s not easy to stay from sweets and not get tempted as your body physically urges it! However, I’ve learned that fasting and staying in the Word; focussing on Jesus, all things are possible!
You must take charge! (Wednesday, September 3rd of 2008)
About 4 years ago I had a routine check-up from my doctor. He then came out to warn me that I have a chance of getting diabetes as I’m close to “border-line” diabetic unless I change my eating habits. It freaked me out when I heard it as I’ve had some knowledge of past family history. I decided to research and find what causes diabetes? I found out my diet of eating too much rice, pop years ago (quit drinking too much of it years ago), etc.. was the “culprit”! I started cutting down or even stop eating white rice (brown rice instead; In fact, wheat-bread, noodles, etc.. is a lot better than “white”). A year later, my doctor told me I was “no-longer” close to borderline diabetic! Halleluah! Yes, we can ask others for prayer and God for healing, but we need to also ask God for “wisdom” and “knowledge” on what we can “individually” do about our health circumstances or situations!

Le cure palliative escono dall’ombra e diventano diritto di tutti i cittadini, dal Piemonte alla Sicilia. Dovranno essere assicurate in ogni Regione, con criteri uniformi, sostenute da un finanziamento proprio. In tutto 150 milioni presi in parte dal Fondo sanitario nazionale (100), il resto dall’ultimo decreto anti crisi. Semplificate in modo permanente le procedure per i farmaci antidolorifici. L’introduzione del ricettario ordinario, il passaggio di alcuni derivati della cannabis (e alcuni oppiacei) per uso terapeutico dalla tabella A alla B e l’esclusione automatica dall’elenco degli stupefacenti erano previsti da un decreto a scadenza annuale del viceministro al Welfare, Ferruccio Fazio. Nasce una rete di hospice e centri ospedalieri.
Sono alcuni dei passaggi salienti della legge di iniziativa parlamentare approvata ieri dalla Camera (ora tocca al Senato). Tempi record, due sole sedute, unanimità. Non era mai successo che maggioranza e opposizione fossero in perfetto accordo. Per Livia Turco, ex ministro della salute, Pd, è una soddisfazione, anche personale: «La legge ha rischiato di andare avanti senza un euro. Noi abbiamo ingaggiato un ostruzionismo pesante e i soldi sono stati trovati. Ora è una cosa seria, che aiuta i malati in modo concreto. Bella prova di dialogo».
Secondo Fazio «viene colmato un grosso vuoto». Per Dorina Bianchi, Pd «è la prova che si può avviare una discussione costruttiva». Un augurio per il prossimo lavoro, molto più difficile sul piano politico. Il testo sul testamento biologico, all’esame della commissione affari sociali della Camera. L’armonia appare un miraggio specialmente alla luce l’ultimo richiamo di Gianfranco Fini sull’«obbligo delle istituzioni di essere laiche» e la replica gelida del Pdl: «Non accettiamo lezioni».
Il testo da discutere non è ancora stato presentato dal relatore Nino Di Virgilio (Pdl) e non è scontato che si tratti di quello passato in Senato, scritto da Raffaele Calabrò. Eugenia Roccella, sottosegretario al Welfare individua gli unici spazi di manovra: «Correzioni? Sempre nell’ambito della posizione del governo. Se come da noi proposto la legge fosse allargata non solo agli stati vegetativi ma anche ai pazienti con perdita di coscienza duratura, si potrebbe accettare la sospensione di idratazione e alimentazione artificiale quando assumono il carattere di accanimento terapeutico».
Queste due modifiche erano in due emendamenti presentati al Senato rispettivamente da maggioranza e opposizione, entrambi bocciati. Resta in piedi la prospettiva delineata dal ministro Maurizio Sacconi. Estrapolare dalla legge Calabrò la parte che ricalca sostanzialmente il disegno di legge cosiddetto salva-Eluana varato all’unanimità dal Consiglio dei ministri per evitare che le venissero sospese le cure così come era stato deciso dai giudici. «Il Parlamento è sovrano di valutare questa opportunità se i tempi della discussione delle norme del fine vita si allungassero», dice il ministro.
That’s what I was thinking last week when I recognized the symptoms: fatigue, nausea, headache, pain at the base of the spine and lower back. I flashed back to 1991 when I first got the disease in the Congo and spent 2 weeks on my back with IV needles in my arm to force fluids into my body. “I’m so thirsty I could die.” Literally.
Apparently the high-voltage mosquito-blasting tennis racket I’ve been using didn’t manage to zap all the little bastards! So wondering what 2 decades of drug research has yielded I asked my UNPeacekeeper friends in Liberiawhatthe standard expat cure is these days. The answer was a loud and resounding “Artemisinin!” Apparently this centuries-old Chinese herbal medicine has been keeping SouthEast Asians alive for many years but was relatively unknown in the west until recently. Or perhaps we can’t believe in anything that doesn’t come from Big Pharma?
I picked up a 3-day dose for $12 from the local pharmacy, immediately popped 2 of the 12 pills, and went to bed wondering if I could sleep with this horribly throbbing headache and seemingly compressed spine. 8 hours later I woke up feeling completely normal, rested, and ready to fight my way into a Monrovian taxi! I can’t tell you how different this experience was from the one in Congo in 1991. My first thought was how Big Pharma is missing a real opportunity here, but my friend Talli educated me how the Gates Foundation, UC Berkeley, and Big Pharma have a project underway to create a synthetic version of the drug for pennies per dose. Malaria is the #1 killer in the world, far surpassing HIV-Aids, with 500 million infections annually annually.
I can tell you that Artemisinin works better than both Fansidar and Electric Liberian Tennis Rackets!
Sheykh Abdul Kerim Efendi is saying that those who read the book of Allah continuously, who keep their 5 daily prayers and who share from the favors that have been given to them with others, they should expect and wait for good results. For safety and for inner peace, read more Quran (murids should be reading 1 juz of Quran every day or reciting Ikhlas 100 times); keep your wird, and read hadith (Sheykh Efendi recommends reading 3 hadith a day and applying it to your life). Don’t speak so much of what you think you know.
Many people have the mistaken notion that, being natural, all herbs and foods are safe. This is not so. Very often, herbs and foods may interact with medications you normally take that result in serious side reactions. It is always a good practice to tell your doctor or health practitioners what you are taking so that they can advise you of possible complications, if there is any. You should also keep an eye for unusual symptoms. Very often, this may foretell the symptoms of a drug interaction.
Experts suggest that natural does not mean it is completely safe. Everything you put in your mouth has the potential to interact with something else. The medication that is taken by mouth travels through the digestive system in much the same way as food and herbs taken orally do. So, when a drug is mixed with food or another herb, each can alter the way the body metabolizes the other. Some drugs interfere with the body’s ability to absorb nutrients. Similarly, some herbs and foods can lessen or increase the impact of a drug.
Alcohol is a drug that interacts with almost every medication, especially antidepressants and other drugs that affect the brain and nervous system.
Some dietary components increase the risk of side effects. Theophylline, a medication administered to treat asthma, contains xanthines, which are also found in tea, coffee, chocolate, and other sources of caffeine. Consuming large amounts of these substances while taking theophylline increases the risk of drug toxicity.
Certain vitamins and minerals impact on medications too. Large amounts of broccoli, spinach, and other green leafy vegetables high in vitamin K, which promotes the formation of blood clots, can counteract the effects of heparin, warfarin, and other drugs given to prevent clotting.
Dietary fiber also affects drug absorption. Pectin and other soluble fibers slow down the absorption of acetaminophen, a popular painkiller. Bran and other insoluble fibers have a similar effect on digoxin, a major heart medication.
As more and more people discover new herbs, there is more and more potential for the abuse of these herbs and the patients may end up in serious problems.
I was attending an herb meeting a few weeks ago and a person came to the speaker and told her that she had very good luck with St. John’s Wort to control her depression. St. John’s Wort has been shown to have great potential to control minor depression. The National Institutes of Health is conducting a clinical study to determine the effect of St. John’s Wort scientifically. This person, however, continued saying that she is now trying St. John’s Wort for her OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). Now, this is getting into unproven uncharted territory. If you are taking prescription medication for this disorder, you can get into trouble due to drug interaction. As shown under the discussion on St. John’s Wort, the herb can be quite dangerous, as it acts similar to MAO inhibitors. They have severe side reactions, and if not careful, can even lead to death.
High-risk patients, such as the elderly, patients taking three or more medications for chronic conditions, patients suffering from diabetes, hypertension, depression, high cholesterol or congestive heart failure, should be especially on the lookout for such side reactions.
The following are the examples of known interaction between popular herbs, foods, and prescription and over-the-counter drugs.
Hawthorn, touted as effective in reducing angina attacks by lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels, should never be taken with Lanoxin (digoxin), the medication prescribed for most for heart ailments. The mix can lower your heart rate too much, causing blood to pool, bringing on possible heart failure.
Ginseng, according to research, can increase blood pressure, making it dangerous for those trying to keep their blood pressure under control. Ginseng, garlic or supplements containing ginger, when taken with the blood-thinning drug, Coumadin, can cause bleeding episodes. Coumadin is a very powerful drug that leaves little room for error, and patients taking it should never take any medication or otherwise before consulting a qualified health professional. In rare cases, ginseng may overstimulate resulting in insomnia. Consuming caffeine with ginseng increases the risk of overstimulation and gastrointestinal upset. Long tern use of ginseng may cause menstrual abnormalities and breast tenderness in some women. Ginseng is not recommended for pregnant or lactating women.
Garlic capsules combined with diabetes medication can cause a dangerous decrease in blood sugars. Some people who are sensitive to garlic may experience heartburn and flatulence. Garlic has anti-clotting properties. You should check with your doctor if you are taking anticoagulant drugs.
Goldenseal is used for coughs, stomach upsets, menstrual problems and even arthritis. However, the plant’s active ingredient will raise blood pressure, complicating treatment for those taking antihypertensive medications, especially beta-blockers. For patients taking medication to control diabetes or kidney disease, this herb can cause dangerous electrolyte imbalance. High amount of consumption can lead to gastrointestinal distress and possible nervous system effects. Not recommended for pregnant or lactating women.
Feverfew, believed to be the natural remedy for migraine headaches, should never be taken with Imitrex or other migraine medications. It can result in the patient’s heart rate and blood pressure to rise dangerous levels.
Guarana, an alternative remedy being used as a stimulant and diet aid, contains 3 percent to 5 percent more caffeine than a cup of coffee. So, if you are taking any medication that advises you against taking any drink with caffeine, you should avoid taking this stimulant. It may cause insomnia, trembling, anxiety, palpitations, urinary frequency, and hyperactivity. Avoid during pregnancy and lactation period. Long term use of Guarana may lead to decreased fertility, cardiovascular disease, and several forms of cancer.
Kava, a herb that has antianxiety, pain relieving, muscle relaxing and anticonvulsant effects, should not be taken together with substances that also act on the central nervous system, such as alcohol, barbiturates, anti depressants, and antipsychotic drugs.
St. John’s Wort is a popular herb used for the treatment of mild depression.
The active ingredient of St. John’s Wort is hypericin. Hypericin is believed to exert a similar influence on the brain as the monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors such as the one in major antidepressants. Mixing MAO inhibitors with foods high in tyramine, an amino acid, produces one of the most dramatic and dangerous food-drug interactions. Symptoms, which can occur within minutes of ingesting such foods while taking an MAO inhibitor, include rapid rise in blood pressure, a severe headache, and perhaps collapse and even death. Foods high in tyramine include aged cheese, chicken liver, Chianti (and certain other red wines), yeast extracts, bologna (and other processed meats), dried or pickled fish, legumes, soy sauce, ale, and beer.
Some patients report that Saint Johns Wort caused excessive stimulation and sometimes dizziness, agitation and confusion when taken with other antidepressants or over-the-counter medications like Maximum Strength Dexatrim and Acutrim. It also caused their blood pressure to shoot up.
White Willow, an herb traditionally used for fever, headache, pain, and rheumatic complaints may lead to gastrointestinal irritation, if used for a long time. It exhibits similar reactions as aspirin (aspirin is derived from white willow). Long term use may lead to stomach ulcers.
Drug Interaction and Food
Drug interaction risk isn’t limited to herbal supplements. Certain foods can interact with medications.
People taking digoxin should avoid Black licorice (which contains the ingredient glycyrhizin). Together, they can produce irregular heart rhythms and cardiac arrest; licorice and diuretics will produce dangerously low potassium levels, putting a patient at risk for numbing weakness, muscle pain and even paralysis. Licorice can also interact with blood pressure medication or any calcium channel blockers.
Aged cheese (brie, parmesan, cheddar and Roquefort), fava beans, sauerkraut, Italian green beans, some beers, red wine, pepperoni and overly ripe avocados should be avoided by people taking MAO antidepressants. The interaction can cause a potentially fatal rise in blood pressure.
And because Saint Johns Wort contains the same properties as these MAO antidepressants, it stands to reason that people ingesting the herb should avoid these same foods.
Grapefruit juice interacts with calcium channel blockers (including Calan, Procardia, Nifedipine, and Verapamil), cholesterol control medications, some psychiatric medications, estrogen, oral contraceptives and many allergy medications (Seldane, Hismanal). The juice modifies the body’s way of metabolizing the medication, affecting the liver’s ability to work the drug through a person’s system. More Information.
Orange juice shouldn’t be consumed with antacids containing aluminum. ‘The juice increases the absorption of the aluminum. Orange Juice and milk should be avoided when taking antibiotics. The juice’s acidity decreases the effectiveness of antibiotics, as does milk.
Milk also doesn’t mix with laxatives containing bisacodyl (Correctol and Dulcolax). You might find the laxative works a little “too well” in the morning.
Large amounts of oatmeal and other high-fiber cereals should not be eaten when taking digoxin. The fiber can interfere with the absorption of the drug, making the act of swallowing the pill a waste of time.
However, don’t stop eating your cereal right away, because that could cause digoxin levels in your system to soar to toxic levels. A professional should make the dietary changes after carefully examining the digoxin levels.
Leafy green vegetables, high in vitamin K, should not be taken in great quantities while taking Coumadin. These vegetables could totally negate the affects of the drug and cause blood clotting.
Caffeinated beverages and asthma drugs taken together can cause excessive excitability. Those taking Tagament (Simetidine), quinolone antibiotics (Cipro, Penetrex, Noroxin) and even oral contraceptives should be aware these drugs may cause their cup of coffee to give them more of a Java jolt than they expected.
Grilled meat can lead to problems for those on asthma medications containing theophyllines. The chemical compounds formed when meat is grilled somehow prevent this type of medication from working effectively, increasing the possibility of an unmanageable asthma attack.
Regularly consuming a diet high in fat while taking anti-inflammatory and arthritis medications can cause kidney damage and can leave the patient feeling, drowsy and sedated.
Alcoholic beverages tend to increase the depressive effects of medications such as benzodiazepines, antihistamines, antidepressants, antipsychotics, muscle relaxants, narcotics, or any drug with sedative actions.
It’s a good idea to not consume any alcoholic beverages, or at least scale way back, when taking prescription medications. Antioxidant and beta-carotene intensify alcohol’s effect on the liver.
Other commonly used over-the-counter medications can cause interaction problems also.
Aspirin can modify the effectiveness of arthritis medications, strong prescription steroids and diuretics. Combining aspirin with diabetic medications can drop blood sugars to dangerous levels. Aspirin can also cause toxicity when taken with glaucoma and anticonvulsant (anti-seizure) drugs and cause bleeding episodes when combined with a blood thinner, like Coumadin.
Acetaminophen can also cause interaction complications when overused. Heavy drinkers who take acetaminophen for hangover relief risk liver damage. Taking high doses of acetaminophen with Coumadin can cause bleeding episodes.
Antacids taken with antibiotics, heart and blood pressure or thyroid medications can decrease drug absorption by up to 90 percent.
Over-the-counter antihistamines – sold under the names Actifed, Theraflu, Dimetapp, Benadryl and Comtrex should be avoided if you are taking antianxiety or antidepressant medications.
Oral contraceptives are less effective when taken with barbiturates, antibiotics, anti-fungal or tuberculosis drugs.
Turnips contain two goitrogenic substances, progoitrin and gluconasturtin, which can interfere with the thyroid gland’s ability to make its hormones. Although moderate consumption of goitrogens is not a hazard for healthy people, they can promote development of a goiter (an enlarged thyroid) in persons with thyroid disease.
Tomato contains small quantities of a toxic substance known as solanine that may trigger headaches in susceptible people. They are also a relatively common cause of allergies. An unidentified substance in tomatoes and tomato-based products can cause acid reflux, leading to indigestion and heartburn. Individuals who often have digestive upsets should try eliminating tomatoes for 2 to 3 weeks to see if there is any improvement.
Strawberries, Raspberries, Spinach, and Rhubarb: These contain oxalic acid, which can aggravate kidney and bladder stones in susceptible people, and reduce body’s ability to absorb iron and calcium.
Raspberries contain a natural salicylate that can cause an allergic reaction in aspirin sensitive people.
The seeds from fruits such as Apple, apricot, and Quinces contain amygdalin, a compound that turns into Hydrogen Cyanide in the stomach. Eating large amount of seeds can result in cyanide poisoning.
Potatoes: Avoid potatoes with a green tint to the skin, and remove any sprouts; they will taste bitter and may contain solanine, a toxic substance that can cause diarrhea, cramps, and fatigue.
Plums, Peaches, Apricots, and Cherries: These fruits may produce allergic reaction in individuals with confirmed allergies to apricots, almonds, peaches, and cherries. People who are allergic to aspirin may also encounter problems after they have eaten plums or peaches as they contain salicylates. The pits of plums, peaches and apricots contain a compound called amygdalin. When consumed in large amounts, amygdalin breaks down into hydrogen cyanide, a poison.
Horseradish: Very high doses of horseradish can cause vomiting or excessive sweating. Avoid if you have hypothyroidism.
Turmeric: Should be avoided by persons with symptoms from gallstones.
