I smoke Capri 120 Menthol cigarettes, about a pack a day. I would like to try quitting through methods at home before going to the doctor and trying the medication route. I am 33 and quit for 6 years in December 2000, but severely stressful personal situations arose and I started again. Back then, I quit via sheer willpower, but it seems much harder to quit this time around. What method (s) did you use to finally kick the habit ?
Answer:
I smoked for 40 years , 2 packs a day, I went to Wal-Mart and bought me some plastic tooth picks (white ones in a plastic case) , I carried them in my shirt pocket just like they were a pack of cigarettes and every time I wanted a smoke I would reach up to my shirt pocket and take one out and put one in my mouth and chew on it.
It helped with my nerves and it gave me something to do with my hands and I had something in my mouth to take the place of the cigarette.
I have not smoked a cigarette since.
Try this site out...
http://www.quitnet.com
Its free and full of every kind of information you want/need. Everyone that I have recommended to has quit smoking.
Well, I understand perfectly! I had smoked for over twenty five years and my whole life seemed to fall apart and I turned to God and received Jesus into my life, as my saviour and Lord. Into being a christian for about a year I was really convicted that it was not right nor healthy and a bad witness. I had known it was not healthy, But I had a stupid saying about things I WANTED to do. Well if I die at least I will die happy! Garbage!
Anyway to make a long story short, the scripture came to my mind, "call on the name of the Lord, and you will be saved" so I Yelled as loud as I could . "JESUS"!! and I was
DELIVERED!. Now it did not mean that I was not tempted because the enemy of our souls "the devil" does not want us to be saved, healthy, or serving the Lord. But every time I would get an urge I would just start praising God in my heavenly language to God and it would pass, or I would pick up the bible and read some blessing out loud and it would pass. This lasted for about a couple of months off and on and then I was free. Really strange I would get the urge if someone lit a match, and I smelled the sulphur, really stupid because I never used matches to light up, I used a lighter. So I know it was the devil trying to entice me in what ever way he could, but he did not succeed no mattter what he tried to bring across my path.
The reason it is harder to quit after giving in is the devil knows what pushes your button and will create things to pressure you. I do not know if you believe this or not, but there are spiritual forces at work.
I have a friend who has quit several times and of course the same happened to him, and then he just gave up, and is still smoking and this has been over 20 years now and I saw him just the other day and he is still smoking and he does not look good. Thin, pale, yellow bad teeth, If you would care to have an article about smoking email me at my primary address, not through Yahoo please, just from your primary one. The tobacco company put in additives to make you crave them.
I have now been free for over 30 years, and simply detest the smell of them.
My Father who has now moved to heaven, about 25 years before was smoking a brand called Buckingham 3 packs a day, which are a very strong blend. He finally made up his mind to quit as everytime he lit one up he would go into fits of coughing. Well he just up and quit but then every time he would get the urge he would grab a peppermint candy, so then he gained weight. So you see there is something lacking in our systems, but he did not go back to smoking.
Now I know today that we can get help by going the natural way. I know some have tried the patch and Nicoderm, but you never hear if they are still not smoking after they said they had stopped.
I do not understand how come after 6 years free you went back. Did you still like the taste of the filthy things?

How deep is a "normal" innie belly button?
It seems like there should be some kind of medical information out there, but I can't seem to locate any. Mine's about 1/2 inch deep.
Answer:
It depends on your fitness level. The "harder" the stomach muscles, the shallower the innie. If you are a larger weight class, your innie will be deeper. If you tone up from a large size, your belly button will reflect that tone.
depends on how much, umm, err, fat I guess you have around it.
your innie is based on how your parents wraped it when you were born... a deep iniie can go up to 1 inch, though an AVERAGE innie would be only as far as the 1st bend on your index finger when you stick your finger in there!!

How could i eat food healthily?
I am in a resident of university that do not have a kitchen,so i have to buy food in the supermarket.
I awalys buy sandwich ,hamburger and chicken wings.
I think they are not good for my health.
I want to eat some healthy food which have vegetable and the taste is not bad.
Another thing is i do not want to drink cole ,i think it is horrible.
Does anybody can suggest me some drink that the taste is not bad and healthy.
Does anybody can help me?
Answer:
You can always rely on just the produce section.Walk down the aisles and picked what looks good to your eye. Say choose 4 different ones red, green, yellow, and orange. No matter what it is you can wash it rinse it well and peel it if necessary and chop it up and place it in a pan that has had a tablespoon of olive oil in it. turn stove onto med heat and "stir fry" what you have cut up. Add garlic or onions or both. Buy a head of lettuce preferably a dark green one and make a simple salad of that and a sliced tomato. drizzle with olive oil. Your taste buds will learn to appreciate the simple flavors after about 2 weeks and you will no longer crave burger etc. As for drinks I rely upon green tea (hot or iced) water, coffee and juices. take it easy on juices unless they are fresh squeezed and have no sugar added. Desserts can alway be fresh fruit. if you feel you need protein you can cook yourself some dried beans- buy a package and follow the instructions they are easy! Or have fresh fish broiled once or twice a week. Have fun and invite friend.
drink water with a slice of lemon or lime its cheap why dont you make wraps instead of buying sandwiches you know whats going int hem then make a lot of some thing like chicken curry or mousaka and freeze it it will then do you for the week put grated carrot in your bolognaise mushrooms go to an independant green grocer you will find that they are more likely to give discounts etc mashed potatoe with turnip peppers can go in any thing so can tomatoes if you have a cooking hour once a week you could do all your meals then just freeze them you will save a fortune believe me i have been there i used to freeze all sorts your friends will take the mickey but mine did after a fortnight they were coming round scrounging cos i had a freezer full of healthy food and they had frozen sausages and moldy bread

How concerned should we be about our every day use of sodium lauryl sulphate?
Should we be seeking alternative products?
Answer:
If you are sensitive to them yes- cause weakness and rashes. Plenty of alternatives exist- Nature's Gate and Jason products.
Same with ammonia being in most shampoos and body washes and even expensive soaps!
Quite concerned if this is to go by:
MANUFACTURERS MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET ON SODIUM LAURYL SULPHATE
Ingredients: SULPHURIC ACID, MONODODECYL ESTER, SODIUM SALT; (SODIUM LAURYL SULPHATE) Ingredient Sequence Number: 01
Unusual Fire And Explosion Hazards: EMITS TOXIC FUMES ON THERMAL DECOMPOSITION
Health Hazard Data
Route Of Entry - Inhalation: YES
Route Of Entry - Skin: YES
Route Of Entry - Ingestion: YES
Health Hazard Acute And Chronic: Back to Top
ACUTE: CAUSES MILD IRRITATION ON CONTACT WITH SKIN, EYES OR MUCOUS MEMBRANES. SKIN CONTACT COULD CAUSE IRRITATION OR ALLERGIC REACTION. MODERATELY TOXIC BY INGESTION.
CHRONIC: TESTS ON LAB ANIMALS INDICATE MATERIAL MAY CAUSE MUTAGENIC EFFECTS
Emergency/First Aid Procedure:
EYES: FLUSH THOROUGHLY WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES
SKIN: WASH THOROUGHLY WITH SOAP %26 WATER.
INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR.
INGESTION: IF STILL CONSCIOUS, INDUCE VOMITING.
Not very. Provided you aren't distilling the SLS from your shampoo and setting it on fire, it's not going to harm you. And there's no ammonia in your soap, that's ammonium, and it's actually got completely different properties. There are dangerous chemicals all around us that aren't present in forms or concentrations that are harmful. Let me give you an example.
Sodium on its own is explosive in air, causes chemical burns, and is basically toxic. You have to handle it with extreme care in the laboratory.
Chlorine is a greenish gas that will burn your lungs. Also toxic, and also handled with extreme care.
When they react, you'd expect some superpoison, right? Nope. It's regular old table salt. So the fact that a product you use has a chemical in it that sounds scary just doesn't mean it's bad for you. It might just be something totally harmless.
If it bothers you, there are shampoos and soaps that don't have SLS, but they're kind of blah. SLS is what makes it lather up all nice and foamy. And I like that.

How common is it that a food allergy causes cough and runny nose?
My 4 year old daughter has suffered with middle ear infections from day one and also has suffered with post nasal drip induced cough which then they say turned into asthma. Her ear nose and throat specialist thinks it could be a food allergy causing all these symptoms but she only gets the cough from Oct. till May or June all summer she does not cough a bit. She did test positive for mold and is going thruo with imunotherepy for it. Any suggestions or links that could be helpful? I really don't want to have her tested for food if it is not the reason for her being misserable. HELP please
Answer:
Here are some links that I hope will be helpful. I've never known a food allergy to cause a runny nose or cough but then again you learn something new every day. Two of my children had food allergies but they always got a rash, . One of these two children also had childhood asthma which he luckily outgrew. We found out he was allergic to the dog and dust. I would suggest getting her tested for food allergies, then at least you can rule that out. The way they did it with my son was to put a thing with little needles on his arm, then dropped various food/liquid on his arm. Maybe you can ask the doctor to do you first, so that your daughter can watch your reaction, then she won't be so terrified. That's what I did with one of my children and she was fine when doing the tests.Anyways here are the links.

How come you cant smell your own poop but when some one else poops it smells horrible?
You never smeller your own when you dump a big load off
Answer:
Oooooooooooh I can smell my own poop!!
I cant smell my boogers though.
For the same reason that the water in the shower seems to get cooler as you stay in it. Your senses adapt to whats around you and the result is the illusion that the water in the shower is getting cooler or that your poop don't stink!

How come you are not supposed to eat moldy bread or drink moldy beer?
Answer:
Because mold is a living thing that creates waste products and those waste products are usually very nasty and not good for you to eat. It's not like they use the bathroom and flush, they just deposit their nasty waste right there wherever they are.
it's pretty apparent: mold is bacteria. you want to get sick? i hope not!
I suppose you could really, besides tastingvery "earthy" or bitter, Were theres mold, theres usually bacteria, helping to break down the decomposing food. It's in cheese and fermented foods. When making real sauerkraut, theres mold on top of the batch alot of times, and you just wipe it off. It's not life threatening,
there are some nasty molds out there that
can make you very ill though
How come whenever i sleep, i twitch or jump?
i see this happening everytime i fall asleep, i fall asleep for awhile and then in the middle of my sleep, i twitch or flintch and jump. its embarssing and i want to know why?
i have no dreams either.
Answer:
it is a sleep disorder restless leg disorder. Mine is in my neck and left arm.
it happens to everyone, its just random muscle twitching
the twitching's called a 'myocolonic jerk'. It happens because you're mind is slowly letting go of the control of the muscles you can control voluntarily. It happens to me all the time, usually at the point of me drifting off. I once almost sat in the lap of the man next to me on the subway as a result of one.
nerves due to stress...take away the stress and u will have a good nights sleep.sweet dreams !
I heard that is you brain sending your body signals to keep all functions running so that you body doesn't go into a vegetable like state. It is also stress if you are hyped up throught the day as your muscles tend to relax your muscles will spasm and twitch as a result. Nothing to worry about, drink lots of water and try to get some cardio in.

How come when you put achohol in a bottle and swish it around and light it on fire it blows up?
LALALALALLA
Answer:
because as you shake it you are creating fumes or gases from the alcohol, which are more prone to lighting on fire, combine that with the supply of fuel from the alcohol itself, and you have a well concentrated mixture for a bomb

How come when I'm lying down, sometimes it's hard for me to breathe?
%26 I feel like I'm suffocating. I have to gasp for air. Yes, I am overweight but trying hard to lose it.
Answer:
I'm sorry that you are having trouble breathing. I would go to your doctor. Inability to breath while lying down can be a sign of congestive heart failure. It also could be that when you lie down your airway gets blocked. There is an increased association between being overweight and airway problems. You may also have sleep apnea(stop breathing while sleeping) due to the obstruction and not know it.
ur belly is sucking upall the air
Regular exercise could be helpful in your condition because your experience is that of a heart laden with cholesterol.Moreover, it is important to not that your lying position could be quite helpful too.I suggest you lie in the supine position with your back on the bed supported with pillow of a level higher than normal.This will help to boost your cardiovascular output for now until you are moderately reduced.

How come when I lye down on my stomach in bed it pudges out,but when I stand up it`s flat?
Answer:
Your stomach may be soft and flabby but the fact that it's flat when you stand up, I don't think that's a need to worry or complain. Otherwise, do some sit up to tighten the tummy.
How come the stuff that comes out of your belly button smells so bad?
Sometimes.
Answer:
now that the 12 year olds have answered the question I will provide you with a real answer. The "stuff" that is sometimes in a belly button is just residue. It can be a few things. First, it could be soap that has driend (meaning that you DO was your belly button). It is soap and sweat that makes the smell. When you get out of the shower and you are toweling off clean your belly button with a Q-tip. If this doesn't help or only helps a little then use a Q-tip soaked in hydrogren peroxide to clean out after every shower. Very soon you will have a clean and fresh belly button.
Sometimes, it's a result of obesity but I'm not sure on the chemical reaction of what causes that.
I dont know about you but there aint nothing comeing out of my belly button!! wtf U MIGHT HAVE TO GET THAT CHECKED OUT....
ewwww...nothing has ever come out of my bellybutton ever! Try washing it
Because you need to use soap when you shower?
your just messed up..
JK!!
;D
your bellybutton is unique...
You shouldn't have stuff come out of your bellybutton.
go to the doc or you need to take care of your body more.
you must have what is known as an inny=some people do have dirt in this area and all you have to remember is to use a q-tip and clean it out every day when you bath or shower
it's when it is left unattended for awhile that it smells
belly button lint!
ummmm I never had that problem before, but then again, I dont go diggin in there and sniffin to see if it smells.
cause its probably made of lint, soap scum, dead skin, and countless bacteria. i would definitely add the bellybutton to your list of shower-to-dos
Believe it or not a lady asked this on oprah this week. It is possibly discharge from a infection.
I cannot stand this when boys have to put there fingers where they dont belong and then smell it. It is bad enough that they do not keep it to themselves, but why do they think that we care. This is so Gross!
The boys down the street said that he put his finger in his butt and now he has smelly butt finger.

How come some peoplerefuse to shop at walmart?
im just curiouse. is it because its too far or of some other thing..like a problem?? thanks for the answers
Answer:
I can only answer for me, but I have two reasons.one, the place is usually too darn big, and I have a heck of a time finding anything in there without going on a marathon trek. Secondly, I prefer buying my items from a local store that sells primarily American made goods rather than Chinese imports, even at a lower price.
Because most people are succeptible to suggestion, and the mainstream media consistently bombards its audience with the idea that walmart is evil. As a teenager, working electronics there was the best part time job I ever held, with the best benefits for someone that age.
I don't care for it because it's loud and crowded, and I don't like that. I prefer to shop at smaller, less crowded stores.
I think the primary issue is that Walmart is so big that it's able to buy products in huge quantities, which give them a lower price and allows them to sell things at a lower cost than local businesses. That may mean it has an unfair advantage, and (allegedly) Walmart is able to run local businesses out of business. On one hand, that's the whole idea behind capitalism, so it's difficult to be critical of this practice.
One possible reason...Walmart does not have a union %26 many people only shop at union stores.
it is a non union orginization and many businesses belong to the union. sometimes people are not allowed to shop at walmart.
its very dirty and the kind of people that shop there dont wear shoes. no joke. they dont. but i live in a kinda red neck area so what can you expect.

How come so many people take their health for granted?
Answer:
They take it for granted because they have never lost it for any appreciable period of time.
It's just as they say -- you don't know what you've got until it's gone.
I think that we take all of our blessings such as good health, wealth, etc for granted.
We should cultivate an attitude of gratitude for everything good in our life.
i think because health is a very broad catagory like you being able to breathe is consider your health but i see where ur coming from
It's a shame, but people don't appreciate their good health until they or someone they love no longer has it.

Answer:

How come my eyes don't blink as often as they should when I am wearing glasses?
My eyes always feel tired and dry after I wear glasses for a while. I realized it's because for some strange reasons I don't blink as often as I should when I am wearing my glasses.
I wear contacts too but I blink normally and so glasses are more tiresome to wear for me.
Does anyone know why is that? How can I overcome it?
Thanks.
Answer:
when your eyes blink it they are tryin to focus i didnt know there was a number on how many blinks you are supposed to do a day also the eye blinks to get rid of the impurities on them..dust..smoke etc my eyes are tired to after wearin glasses and i think that is because they are not used to bein able to see well lol i only wear mine when i drive or am reading something

How come my ears pop ?
my ears have started to pop now and then and has never happened before, why is this?
Answer:
It has something to do with differences in air pressure.
It could be one of several items. Some are minor, well, most...
In any case, on theoff chance it isn't, you may wish to see your doctor.
pressure. Have you moved? Have you had a head cold?
Air pressure. Happens to me every time I ride a plane.
We are all sensitive in different ways to the air pressure, i have it regularly.
The eustachian tube goes from the middle ear to the nasoparnyx in the throat. This is how the air pressure is equalized in the middle ear. In adults, the eustachian tube is normally closed and usually opens when a pressure or vacuum occurs in the middle ear. However if you have been sick or have allergy drainage there could be a build up around
the opening of the eustachian tube creating a blockage which will make a popping sound.
This is probably due to pressure in the Eustachian tubes. This is caused by a mucus plug in the tube trapping a columnn of air, between it and the ear drum. The pressure in this colum cannot equalise to atmospheric pressure. When you swallow you push the plug closer to the ear drum, this raises the pressure on the drum and may even cause pain.

You could try and oral or a local nasal decongestant and also good old fashioned steam inhalation. If these measures don't help see your GP.

How come I get the shakes if I don't eat a snack?
I eat a breakfast and then usually eat lunch about 12:30...I skipped my snack today and now I am totally getting the shakes...what is the deal. If I have a snack I don't get like this but I wasn't hungry so I skipped it. What's the deal...what's going on? Any tips or advice is great thanks!
btw...I don't have any medical conditions.
Answer:
hypoglycemia...you don't need to have a medical condition in order for you to get the shakes; everyone needs a certain blood sugar level and if you don't eat, it falls, causing fainting spells and sometimes even seizures.
Your blood sugar levels are probably getting too low. Try to eat small, non-sugary snacks throughout the day to help keep your levels from dipping too low between meals.
you could have low blood sugar. But I'm not a doctor. I'd say make an appt. to find out for sure.
Everyone can get jittery when their blood sugar dips. It sounds like you need the snack to keep your sugar level even..If you eat some protein and whole grains for breakfast it will help keep your blood sugar from spiking and dipping so fast. Most cereals are essentially pure sugar so you feel good fast, but they don't last for long. Try peanut butter on whole wheat toast or an egg and oatmeal instead. Also, if you are drinking caffeine on an empty stomach it's going to intensify the jittery feeling.

How come i cant look into someone's eyes for at least 3 seconds?
i cant look into someones eyes for at least three seconds?
Answer:
Because you're nervous or you're just a bit more jumpy than usual.
I used to be that way too. I think it is low self esteem.
becaus that mean that they are looking into your eyes for at least three secons
Im just like that omg it makes me very uncomfortable to for some reason. it might have to do with being self concious, or its just awkward to pay so much attention to someone or something like that. OR you think the persons ugly lol
Either you're too shy or you lack confidence or self esteem.
ok...i think it might be ADHD...
maybe your eyes wander around after 3 seconds because you can't focus on them any longer...
~$tarr
I feel the same way that means your shy.

How come girls go number two 2-3 times a week and guys go 2-3 times a day?
is it the way they're made or something or what?
Answer:
That is not true. Some girls go 2-3 times a day and some guys go 2-3 times a week.
U have issues..
It depends on what they eat. I assume males consume on average more than females do.
Dead weight factor?

How come fat people.?
How come fat people want the medical community to cater to them even though they are fat? How come they get mad and offended if a Dr tells them to lose weight for their own health. After all, thats what a dr is supposed to be doing right? looking after patients health? How come drs get sued for telling a pt to lose weight before he'll do knee replacement surgery or any other surgery? Especially when its in the pts best interest when their weight can cause complications in surgery? Or that fat people just use surgery or medical treatments to fix problems that would be fixed if they just lost weight? I just dont understand.
Answer:
are you a dr, or why do you care, I understand drs telling you to lose weight and it's for health reasons, but there are some instances when it should be avoided, like after a woman just had a baby and this is the first time seeing a new medical dr, he tells her first thing, you need to lose some weight. That is what happened to me, and I was hurt and offended, I was still caring weight over from the pregnancy. This dr also could tell me to lose weight but was not any help when I asked him how he would reccommend going about it. I was already trying to lose weight and failing no matter what I did. So before a dr offers this advice, he needs to be willing and knowledgeable as to what they can do to lose the weight.
me neither...glad I don't have the problem.
Fat people don't mean to be bad people.
It may be very hard for them to loose weight, and they need professional help sometimes, because some fatnesses come from dramatic stress and stress can make people confort their zone with eating. It is a type of stress and best way to do this, is go to the doctor and accept of the things he/she will say. Then, it is your own way to make yourself love and be loved. Fat or thin, we are all humans.
I agree with you...
Fat people just cant admit because being fat is what they've done!
And Surgery and those things...
Why are people proud of it?
Take a look at how many more fattening products are sold thanks to those over-consumers. Who wants an unhappy fatty with an equally fat appetite for buying his 'medicines'? Plus there's the human rights issue gone wild... ;-)
I don't expect to be catered to for medical reasons and I am considered to be over weight by about 70 pounds.
* i quite agree with you .if people looked after themselves better they would be far healthier.it is not fair on the doctors or the hospital staff to be expected to lift such heavy people.
I think that obesity is an epidemic that is sweeping the nation, and people don't want to admit they have a weight problem. It must be hard to be that overweight--- people look at you funny, treat you differently and it's hard to find clothes to fit. (I have the same problem being short-- except for the weird looks).
I think that rather than wanting to work to lose the weight, a lot of overweight people want a fast fix (like gastric bypass) rather than working out and doing what they can on their own.
I don't know about suing the doctor over encouragement for weight loss. I'm not too overweight, just slightly, and my doc wants me to lose a few pounds to stay healthy-- it makes me happy to know that she cares!
Wow, how do you know all this info about fat people?I'm over wieght and I do'nt expect anybody to cater to me. Where do you get all your infromation at or should I say who do you get it from. I think you must have know one fat person that acts like this and now your sitting up there on your high horse judgeing every overwieght person there is. STOP JUDGEING OTHERS!!
Being overweight is not necessarily by choice or poor diet, genetics can also be an issue. And when genetics is an issue, it is exremely difficult to lose weight. It can be very difficult to lose weight and to lose a lot of weight you have to change your entire lifestyle and if you do not have the support that is needed it is that much harder. There is no "one fix" or "fast fixes" to losing weight it takes a long time to properly lose weight. I have not ever met anyone that expected to be catered to, I agree with another post, you are basing your question from one person to the general.

How come after you pop ecstasy (mdma) you dont feel like eating?
every time after i pop i cant eat anything even though i havnt ate for a long time. i know im hungry but when i try to eat i just dont feel like it. how come?
Answer:
Ecstasy is a chemical that is usually taken orally as a capsule or tablet. It is a man-made drug that is chemically similar to both stimulants and hallucinogens.6 Taking ecstasy causes chemical changes in the brain that affect your mood, appetite and sleep.7
Methylenedioxy-N-methamphetami... (MDMA or 'ecstasy') is a psychoactive substance, first described as an appetite suppressant in humans, inducing side effects and even death. MDMA increases serotonin (5-HT) levels, and 5-HT inhibits food intake, but the 5-HT receptors involved in MDMA-induced changes in feeding behavior are unknown. We examined whether a systemic MDMA injection would reduce the physiological drive to eat in starved mice and tested if the inactivation of 5-HT(1B) or 5-HT(2C) receptors could restore this response. Our results indicate that in starved mice, MDMA (10 mg/kg) provoked an initial hypophagia for 1 h (-77%) followed by a period of hyperphagia (studied between 1 and 3 h). This biphasic feeding behavior due to MDMA treatment was maintained in 5-HT(1B) receptor-null mice or in animals treated with the 5-HT(1B/1D) receptor antagonist GR127935 (3 or 10 mg/kg). In contrast, MDMA-induced hypophagia (for the first 1 h period) was suppressed when combined with the 5-HT(2C) receptor antagonist RS102221 (2 mg/kg). However, RS102221 did not alter MDMA-induced hyperphagia (for the 1-3 h period) but did exert a stimulant effect, when administered alone, during that period. We have previously shown that MDMA or 5-HT(1A/1B) receptor agonist RU24969 fails to stimulate locomotor activity in 5-HT(1B) receptor-null mice. Our present data indicate that the 5-HT(2C) receptor antagonist RS102221 suppresses MDMA-induced hyperlocomotion. These findings provide the first evidence that the inactivation of 5-HT(2C) receptors may reduce hypophagia and motor response to MDMA, while a genetic deficit or pharmacological inactivation of 5-HT(1B) receptors was insufficient to alter the feeding response to MDMA.
because it puts your metabolism into hyper drive using / burning all of your fuels you have to keep you going. It also creates a sense of euphoria in the brain which supresses most of the human sensory receptors.
Use it too often and you will be very skinny (and also very hooked on it). Caution though, they will make you feel depressed when "coming down" so try and find a better habit before it is too late. They are not harmless
ecstasy is soooooo bad for you. i wish you wouldnt do it anymore. the reason is because it elevates your temperature. when your bodies temp is high, functions start to slow down. it also damages your brain and its functions.
DON'T MESS WITH DRUGS GET OFF THEM IMMEDIETLY!!!!!!!!...
serves you right. fatty
Ecstasy is illegal, you dumbo..
it's substitute of the Phenethylamine family which is in your brain anyway but it's properties include decreased appetite
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/phenethylam...
MDMA is merely a substitution of a few chains
pretty much things ending in -ine are bases
and bases are usually stimulants
nicotine, caffeine, cocaine, amphetamine..etc.
i wonder if morphine is?
I think people trip out on the fact the 2nd half of the word says methamphetamine
Methylenedioxymethamphetamine
Bananas have potassium and potassium ignites in air, explodes in water so not so simple
It's not addictive and the stats of death for pure mdma are similar to death from birth control
I think taken few times a year, you're safe
just drink enough water (not too much) and try not to dance like a spazz for too long

How can you tell the differnce between colds & allergies?
if you' ve had a stuffy/ runny nose for 2 days? thanks
Answer:
Colds and allergies share a lot of the same symptoms. Either one can come with a cough, sneezing, sore throat, and runny nose. But despite some similar symptoms, the two are actually very different.
Colds are caused by viruses that spread easily from person to person. They can develop at any time and can last up to two weeks. A cold is typically treated with over-the-counter medicine, like decongestants and cough suppressants. There isn't really a "cure" for a cold; you can only treat the symptoms.
A cold usually comes with the following symptoms:
Cough
General body ache
Fatigue
Sneezing
Sore throat
Stuffy/runny nose
Allergies are your body's response to allergens -- things that you are allergic to. Allergens vary from person to person; even in the same family, different allergies may develop. Allergies can attack any time, but you may notice that your problems start up in the spring and fall if you are allergic to pollen. Untreated, your seasonal allergy symptoms can last for months. There are several ways to treat your allergies, but you have to see your doctor to find out exactly what you are allergic to first. Immunotherapy (allergy shots) can help desensitize you to allergens over a period of time. Antihistamines and decongestants can help ease your symptoms in the meantime.
Allergies usually come with the following symptoms:
Cough
Itchy Eyes
Sneezing
Sore Throat
Stuffy/runny nose
It is allergy season right now so its hard to tell.If you have a fever its probably a cold.
could be allergies who knows i have it too and i have a really itchy throat i had since friday
if your eyes itch, are red its usually allergies. you could always try taking an anti allergy medication to see if you feel better. If you don't its most likely a cold.
There's a real fine line between the two, so see your doctor soon.
if youve had it for t day it sould be apparent by now. look at the disharge. if it is still perfectly clear with no sig of infection it is allergy, if it had started to turn a milky yellow then you have an infection and its a cold
I'm feeling this way for about a month!I think I have a little bit of both. anyway, it will pass whatever it is, on it's own
The difference is that certain things trigger allergies and cold are caused by viruses. Allergies are runny noses, sneezing, itchie, watery eyes. Colds include coughs, fever, chills, and an all over body ache. Allergies "usually" stay in your head, whereas colds hit your chest. Hope this helps.

How can you tell the differences between a common cold and just allergies?
I'm not sure which I have. %26gt;.%26lt;
Answer:
Common colds will cause a lot of coughing and sneezing and body aches. On occasion you may even get chills. When I get colds they usually come from someone else. I rarely just catch one. Sometimes they will have flu like symptoms too.
Allergies come from anything from dust and dirt, to pets or plants. With my allergies I get sinus headaches that a Bayer aspirin won't help. My nasal cavities get inflamed and my eyes either hurt or they itch. Usually my T-zone hurts a lot. I also get a little fluid in my ears. Mine turn into upper respiratory infections or rhinitis. Some people take Claritin for the sneezing. I also cough at night. Nothing works but Robitussin cough drops with the Honey Center. There is also a cough medicine the VA gives me with Guifenisin and Dextramethorphan. My nose runs too.
The most important thing is that both will cause a fever when full blown. The fever will cause irritability and discomfort.
You are right to go to the doctor. They will diagnose you and be sure to get you the right medication. They also know your background and allergic reactions. Good Luck girl!

How can you tell the difference betweeb IBS and Celiac Disease?
My stomach has been very weird since I was stationed in VA.
I saw a show about Celiac Disease and swore up and down that I was going through the same things.
I am always tired, I have constipation/diarrhea in alternation, sometimes I'm bloated, my allergies change (one minute I'm allergic to wheat and can eat dairy and then I am lactose intolerant and can eat wheat), my body really shuts down at times,...
It's not so bad now but I begged my doctor to test me for Celiac and he told me I was overexaggerating and it's just lactose intolerance. I wanted to smack him because I don't even eat a lot of dairy products and I knew it was the wheat doing those things to me. Ironically, some months later, dairy products tore me up but the symptoms weren't the same.
I had a colonoscopy, everything and all my test results came back negative. SO, how can you REALLY tell whether it's IBS or Celiac?
Answer:
Celiac runs in my family, and most (if not all) of my family members that have it were misdiagnosed. My sister finally realized she had celiac simply by abstaining from wheat for a while. Try it for a few months and see if it helps. If you still feel this way, then you probably don't have Celiac. Another possibility is that you have an allergy to both gluten and dairy. If this is the case, then sometimes you might react more to one or the other depending on your diet for that week. For instance, if you are allergic to gluten or dairy (or both), you might be able to eat one or the other for weeks before it builds up in your system and then seemingly randomly affects you. This is one reason why it so hard to diagnose. Hope this helps.
Have an endoscopy. They go in and take a biopsy of your stomach lining. That's the only way to know for sure if it is celiac disease.
If you are using DOD insurance see if your GP will give you a reference to a gastroenterologist (good luck last I recall DOD Dr.'s were a pain in the *** to deal with).
Hopefully you have a PPO and free choice. Go to the gastro tell them the symptoms and concerns and get their opinion. Ask about IBS, Celiac, Crohn's Disease, ileitis, ulcerative colitis as well.
Having Crohn's myself I can fully understand the concerns and annoyances that you are going through right now and the great frustrations.
Definitely check out a gastroenterologist though and get their opinion since this is the kind of thing they went to school for and not a generalized medical degree.
While many people with IBS are intolerant to wheat bran, and whole wheat, this is not at all the same thing as the total gluten intolerance caused by celiac. It is possible to have BOTH celiac and IBS, but it's also very common for celiac to be misdiagnosed as IBS.
An initial screen for celiac disease will check your blood for antibodies to gluten, and if the results are positive, a small bowel biopsy will follow.
So - what exactly is celiac disease? Celiac is a digestive disease that damages the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. People who have celiac disease cannot tolerate a grain protein called gluten, which is found in wheat, rye, and barley. Gluten can also be found in stamp and envelope adhesive, medicines, and vitamins.
Celiacs is a gluten intolerence. Eat a sandwich made of white bread if you don't go to the bathroom it is probably celiacs and if you do it is probably IBS. Celiacs may cause someone to have bowel movements shortly after eating products that contain Gluten. Eat something without it and if you don't have to go after a couple hours then it is probably celiacs. Hope I could help.

How can you tell if you're anaemic? If you are do you go to the doctors or can you just start eating more iron
Answer:
Eating iron can be dangerous, all my teeth are broken.
Go to a doctor. You can't know for sure you're anaemic until you have blood tests done.
go 2 the doctors if its bad they will give u tablets!!
Only a doctr can tell if your anaemic through a blood test. If you are you need special tablets which have high concentrations of iron. Iron in food is just to low at this stage im afraid.
I'm anemic, The doctors took a couple blood tests and found out..Just gave me an eating chart which I don't even follow haha..But yeah, Just try and eat as much protein and iron as you can, Or get your own little eating chart.
I was in hospital and told I was severly anaemic and had to have a blood transfusiuon, some of my symptoms were feeling cold, tired, dizzy spells and looking very pale, I still get these but iron tablets don't agree with me and I don't eat meat, you should go to your doctor and a simple blood test will tell you, try eating iron rich foods.
You should go to the docs to have it confirmed but you normally feel really tired and weak. The doctors will suggest a diet to helpit or you may need to have some tablets after a blood test to confirm it.
You have to have blood tests, if you are anaemic the doctor usually prescribes you iron tablets until the problem has gone....
If you are anaemic due to iron insufficiency, you could just eat more iron. Make sure you eat extra fibre though - iron, at least in tablet form, tends to have a drastic effect on your bowels (ie constipation).
If you fold down your bottom eyelid, it should be quite red. If it's very pale, that is a sign of anaemia. So are things like tiredness, and being pale.
If you have these symptoms for more than a week or so, you should check with your doctor, to make sure you don't have a different form of anaemia, some of which are very serious.
You need a blood test to find out.Feeling tired, lethargic and low can be a sign.Sometimes being a vegetarian can cause anaemia.So you'd need to look at your diet.
Go get a blood test from the doc. Or for the cheap way, try to donate blood, they will tell you if your iron is low, and probably refuse you. Try eating more red meat, or taking vitamins to help out. What other symptoms are you having that are making you think you are anemic? Maybe you have something else going on, and should just go straight to the doc!
There are several physiological possible reasons for anemia. Therefore you should see a doctor who will send you to a simple blood test, that measures the amount of your Red Blood Cell. And their different characteristics.
Based on the results there are several treatment options raging from changing your diet a little to prescription pills.
You can read more at wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/anemia...
I am anemic, I bruise easily, my wounds take a lot longer to heal than a normally healthy person would take. Going to the doctor will not make anything different, only a cost to the clinic.
I passed this trait onto my children, somewhat. They bruise easily, heal slowly, etc. Iron seems to help, I try to make them eat cereals that are high in iron, but the bruising comes naturally. It is not debillitating, in that we can't function normally, it just means we hurt more easily than (I would guess,) normally.
You turn green when you eat apples and orange when you eat oranges!
The symptoms of anemia are a pale complexion, you sometimes feel faint, especially if you haven't eaten in a while, and I call them fireflies but they look like fireflies that swim before your eyes. You're always tired and over exerting makes you feel weak or nauseated. You can supplement your diet with iron and eat a lot of small meals all day long. Your best advice though is to seek medical attention because it could be a heart problem. See the doctor.
if you were anaemic you would be very pale with darkness under your eyes and you would constantly feel tired and lethargic doctors would do a blood test and give you some iron tablets although you can buy them over the counter natural forms off iron are liver very high in iron all dark green vegetable
One of the best ways to see for yourself if you are anaemic is one pull down the bottom lid of your eyes. The flesh bit should be red and rich in colour if it is very pail it may be a sign of anaemia. Extreme tiredness and looking pail is another sign.
If you think you are anaemic there is a simple blood test you can get done by nurse at doctor to tell this.
DO NOT go buying iron tablets for the sake of it as this can be dangerous increase the iron content in your food green cabbage is good for this liver and many other foods contain iron natural.
Red blood cells are coloured red because of the iron content. This enables them to carry oxygen around the body and they are manufactured in the marrow of bones. They last for around 120 days before they die. New ones are being made everyday and old ones die every day. The old ones are stored in the spleen ready for waste disposal.
With anaemia the amount of red blood cells is seriously diminished. Health Professionals refer to red blood cells as (RBC) or haemaglobin levels (Hb). You can have a low Hb and not be anaemic.
The signs of low Hb are breathlessness, excessive tiredness, pale pasty complexion and if you pull the lower eyelid down and look in a mirror, the redness here is a good inidcator. In extreme cases of anaemia a rash can develop anywhere on the body called purpura.
The only way to know for sure what level your Hb is, is to have a simple blood test known as Full Blood Count (FBC) and your practice nurse could do this for you.
Iron is rich in leafy green vegetables and predominantly in liver. Also your GP could prescribe a simple course of iron tablets (Ferrous sulphate)
This will make your poo black but that is just a general side affect and nothing to worry about.
I used to be a trained nurse on a blood ward.
Hope this helps and good luck.
Dawn.
if your gums are pale or if you pull down your eye lid and look at the skin underneath and it is pale. then the chances are you are anaemic. if you are concerned see your GP for a blood test. try drinking orange juice because the vitamin c helps your body absorbs more iron.
blood test at the docs to check fbc,i'm anaemic but i'm having loads of other tests to find the cause ,it's not always due to poor diet
How can you tell if you are bloated or if it is just fat?
And how do you treat a bloated stomach?
Answer:
If you poke your stomach, you'll feel the hardness, that's bloatness. If you can pinch it and wiggle it, that's fat. Bloatness feels like when you ate too much and you're about to explode.
Stop eating and drinking immediately! Sleep eight hours. When you wake up and your stomach looks the same..it is just fat. Go on a diet.
Bloated stomachs that don't fix themselves by passing off the gases could use a physic!

How can you tell if she's the Head Nurse?
Answer:
The only way to know is to ask.
Is she wearing a nurse outfit like one of the ones on this web page?
http://www.3wishes.com/nurse.asp... (NSFW)
Generally if you look on the "board" where all of the patient's names are listed as well as the names of all the nurses, there should be a name under the title "Charge". As for him/her. Otherwise, just ask your nurse who the "charge nurse" is. The charge will be the head of the department. If you want to go higher up, ask for the "house supervisor". Hope this helps!
How can you tell anxiety from the stomach flu?
Tonight I ate 2 big bowls of red beans for the first time in a long time. I am currently on lexapro for an anxiety disorder, so I'm usually really bloated after eating anyways. Tonight, though, about an hour and a half after I ate the beans, I got really bloated and then when I had a bowel movement, it was hard at first, then diarrhea like, and then I couldn't go at all and just had gas. Now, i'm in a massive state of panic and am keeping myself worked up. I am a complete hypochondriac, so every little ache freaks me out. Do I have anything to worry about or was it the beans that made me temporarily messed up. I can't sleep because I'm freaking myself out so bad. Please answer my question and help me. Thank you.
Answer:
Here is something you can do. Sit in a comfortable chair in a quiet room. Notice your breath. Inhale into your belly and exhale slowly. Soften the muscles in your face. Let your fingers curl into your palms. Keep breathing into your belly. On the 10th inhale, hold your breath in for 2 counts, and exhale for 4 counts. If your stomach still hurts, you have indegestion and it isn't just anxiety.
To help you sleep, lay on your back and put a pillow or two under your knees. Make sure your feet are warm by putting on socks, it's impossible to fall asleep with cold feet. Keep breathing deeply. You can't get the flu from beans, at least we know that! Good luck.

How can you tell aging from real arthritis?
Answer:
Well, if you're asking the question, you probably don't have arthritis, unless you are in pain a lot, especially when it's damp and cold. Arthritis is aches and pains where there should be none. I have it, and all I have to do is something physical, and I hurt big time.
Arthritis will hurt worse when the weather changes to cold, rainy, etc. If you see a big difference in those situations, it's most likely arthritis.
How can you tell a good doctor?
I had a dentist who I felt rushed me around and didn't even give me a chance to talk. What are the signs of a good doctor??
Answer:
If you are NOT happy.that's sign enough for me.
I have a list both in my head (oral discussion) and hand written list of concerns and questions- that I submit to the nurse, prior to my one on one with the doctor, so my questions and issues are covered.
AS a medical professional, I appreciate the fact that we are emotional beings and often we get "caught up " in the event and forget to cover all the details and concerns of our patients. I appreciate the organized and educated client. I can better serve you , if you know what you expect from me and TELL me, since everyone has totally different needs.
No matter if you come in for the exact same thing.
Best wishes
well a dentist isn't a doctor so are you asking for a good dentist?
Just shop around %26 ask ppl for referrals to their dentists.
I'd say that he's just shown you what a good doctor ISN'T - rushed, uncommunicative, and unwilling to listen. Find another - you'll be glad you did.
a dentist is a doctor. you can tell if he or she is good by the willingness to answer your questions. one that gives you the time. one that is not running all the time. one that asks you how you want to be treated. one that doesn't have a million patients waiting. one that sticks to appointment times within reason. those are all signs of a good doctor. be it a dentist, gp, vet. etc.
behaving, talking,ask ques, smile
Tell a good doctor what?
I assume you want the traits of a good doctor.
I think a doctor should be likable, and explain things to you. If they are smart, it helps, but understand that some of the smartest doctors, have terrible bedside manners. A doctor who may not be as smart , but cares enough, will go the extra miles to help you get better. Most important should be their desire to help you get better.
If you feel pressured and rushed and do not like the doctor find someone else.
Remember that the doctor-patient interaction is a two way street and mutual respect and courtesy are important.

How can you stop a cat from gnawing & licking its underarms? it makes its skin infection worse. any remedies?
my cat, mocing, had food allergy. then she developed skin infection in its underarms which started about 7 months ago. we consulted 3 veterenarians already. the latest prescribed an anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal %26 anti-bac all-in-one cream (imflammol). although the skin problem is improving (there are fine hairs growing already) it never gets totally cured cause she keeps on gnawing and licking the wound evrytime her collar is removed which results to bleeding. the skin lesion is reddish. and wet sometimes. i dont know if it is itchy thats why my cat keeps licking the wound. is there any remedy to stop her from doing that? i really dont know what to do anymore. i just want my cat to live a normal life--without a collar. pls help.. thanks...
Answer:
Need to use the collar until it's completely healed - sorry I know you didn't want to hear that. But once it's completely heaked it'll be right, by removing it too soon you're just perpetuating the problem.

How can you sooth a upset stomach?
my mom and her friend went 2 a concert lst night and now her friend is sick on our couch. what can we/she do?
Answer:
If she is sick from partying a little too hard-crackers and water are the cure all in our cirlce. The crackers will absorb the alcohol and the water will in a sense dilute it. If she is truly just sick-like the flu, chicken broth and crackers will be good for her if she can keep them down. If she throws them up right away stick with water or clear soda to keep her hydrated. Pepto always makes me puke worse...so good luck if you try that. Sorry about her/your luck and hope she feels well soon.
Pepto Bismol.
Four ounces of Jack Daniels and a straw.
If you have no items like (gaviscon, Tums, etc.) and are desparate, just try 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in 1/2 glass of water. Stir the soda in good and drink it. It has been a famous rememdy for over 100 years and in use by our family as well as others and is very effective. Not to be used daily of course.
She has a hang over, let's call it what it is. Ginger ale.
First and foremost, tons of water to rehydrate. Gatorade to replenish electrolytes. Anything with ginger, tea, ginger-ale etc.
Sounds like a hang-over. Eat crackers, bread or other absorbant starches to lay down a stable base in their stomach.
And plenty of sleep!

How can you reduce the risk of personal attack in health and social care environment?
Answer:
are you doing your nvq or something?
you can avoid personal attacks and challenging behaviour by talking to the people that have contact with the resident/client such as family or other care workers, by reading their case files and care plans. get to know what aggravates them or triggers them and the signs of agitation leading to the episode of bad behaviour. always put yourself in a safe place. with access to an exit unrestricted and never let your guard down. they could be fine one minute and aggressive the next. also always carry your mobile with you so you can call for back up and emergency services especially when working alone in an unfamiliar place. i could be more descriptive but need a specific setting. i do this stuff for a living.
buy a bloody big gun
Ensure all dangerous items are put away. If in residential care for example make sure that knives are locked away. As well as poisonous detergents, tools etc. Use relaxed communication techniques like avoiding maintaining eye contact. If in a volatile situation stand in a defensive stance... Errm, apart from that where chain mail...?
wear body armour?
How can you reduce the risk of fire in health and social care environment?
Answer:
ban smoking indoors, get the local fire brigade to come round and give you an assessment and advice. regular fire drills safety checks and fire fighting equipment checks by accredited contractors. education of residents and staff in safe practices. ensure eletrical and gas operated equipment is maintained regularly. most of this covered by law anyway.
How can you reduce the risk of back problem in a health and social care environment?
Answer:
You should do a manual handling course to learn about body mechanics and how to safely move people. Always use equipment for lifting. Never lift anyone without it.
use all the equiptment available to you, and bend from the knees, you should have been taught all this
seriously you should try and do this home work for yourself by reading a book or something. or save yourself some points and just email me the whole thing!
provide training for manual handling if appropriate and necessary but ideally provide specialist lifting equipment and training how to use it.
How can you prevent yourself from throwing up??

How can you prevent a dirty, marijuana, drug test?
My friend is applying for a job that requires a pee test to see if you have taken any drugs. She recently tried marijuana and fears a dirty test.
She heard it could take between 4-6 weeks to clear. And she did it about a week ago and her test is coming up shortly. What can she do to prevent it from showing up.
Answer:
Get a detox kit from your local health food store, follow the directions, and you should be fine. they may detect the "flush kit" however, but your friend will have to do another one if that happens, simply use another flush kit for your second test. The test if a flush kit is used may come up inconclusive, don't panic, just use another flush kit for your second test, and it will be consistent with your first test, so they will pass you. They are not allowed to assume anything, so if they ask about detox, just play dumb and say you eat healthy and drink lots of water, if they ask for a third test, say I would like to see a doctor for a professional opinion, and tell your doctor you were at a party where some people were smoking it, and you feared that the second hand smoke may have gotten into your system.
she should just smoke the clean stuff.
6 mths to clear out of the body (THC). she's screwed. obviously, she didn't want the job bad enough...
I am a Rehab major with a Addictions minor. There's a lot of false info out there on this subject. The general rule is it takes 28 days for weed to get out of your system. But that's not always the case. It depends on your fat content, how much you drink, and your metabolism. There are herbal detox drinks you can buy online or at head shops but I dunno how effective they are. The best advice is drink a lot of water and pray. It might be out of her system or not.
all depends on how much she did it..If she smokes 3-4 times a week she is screwed. If she only smokes once in a while tell her to take NIACIN, the good stuff...the stuff that flushes your system, it will make you very hot and very uncomfortable. Then tell her to buy a gallon of water, and no matter what drink the entire thing throughout the day. The night before her test and the morning of she should drink as much water as possible. I've known friends in the military that get by with this ALL the time.
She heard it could take between 4-6 weeks to clear. And she did it about a week ago and her test is coming up shortly. What can she do to prevent it from showing up.

How can you gain muscle?
i've always wondered how a person, mainly a girl can gain muscle. i see these people on tv and in magazines with great leg or arm muscle, how do they get that way ? (no i dont really wanna gain muscle) this question just interests me mind
Answer:
The quickest way to gain muscle,...Kidnap Arnold SCHWARZZENEGER!
You have to do pushups and lots of cardio-vascular excercises.
eat boiled chicken..
They lift weights and take steroids!
they work out and lift a lot of weights.
UM U WORK OUT I THYINK?
lift weights
eat tons of protein
skip all fats
Lots of strength training, lifting weights, lunges, etc. Personal celebrity trainers don't hurt, either!
Weight lifting, I am serious. I was in weight lifting class in high school and I gained 13 lbs of lean muscle, in only about 3 months. Most of my muscle was gained in my lower body, because I don't want a manly body, or pectoral muscles. I just did back/front squats,dead lifts, also calf extension and a lot more. It's also important to get a lot of protein in your diet, protein helps you build muscle quicker. You also need carbohydrates.
Exercise! By exercising and working out, you tear the micro fibers in your muscle, which results in soar muscles. When the muscles repair themselves they build additional tissue with protein, which is why people at the gym try to have high-protein diets.
You mostly need to weight-lift to build muscle. Running builds your heart muscle but is mostly endurance training for your body (very good for you) but isn't going to hulk you up. Look at all the scrawny runners. They sure can run though.
apple, generally, by doing some heavy lifting with few reps (1-5)and if you just are interested to tone the muscles, then it would be lifting light with more reps (20-25)
To GAIN muscle you must lift heavy weights, almost to heavy to lift, but not heavy enought to be dangerous, and do little repetitions at a time (i.e. 5 repetitions). To FIRM muscles or maintain lean muscles, you must lift just enough weight for it to be hard and do as many repetitions as possible.
It takes a lot of self discipline. You need to watch what you eat and constantly work on improving each muscle you focus on, keeping up with a steady weekly workout will continue to burn the fat off and replace it with lean muscular tissue, and as a result all your hard work is shown from how much effort you put into it.

This is mainly for guys, but you can cut some things down like the amount of food you should consume.
drink protein milk before you work out...
It helps gaining the muscles sooner :)
Good Luck
well u have to do a lot of exercises, like push ups and stuff. also u hace to lift weights to gain muscle also. hope u will figure out how peopel gain muscle.

How can you explain the phenomenon called HICCUPS?
Answer:
This is a combination of irregular breathing, the alveoli in your lungs not taking in enough oxygen, and your diaphragm spasming along with your esophigas. It's a very complicated thing. It is usually caused by excessive swallowing, like eating or chewing gum.
They are a spasm of the diaphragm.
Hiccups are contractions of the diaphragm muscle located under the chest. They are generally caused by laughing too hard, eating too fast, swallowing air, or indigestion. There are many methods and home remedies for curing them, and they generally don't last very long. While they are annoying, they are usually harmless. However, there have been some cases where the hiccups continue for days or weeks, and then medical intervention is needed.

Find somewhere secluded, in the country, near nature. A spot by a creek, a place by a pond, somewhere away from the hustle and bustle. Take a good book, a picnic, and spend the day relaxing.
Do you have a pet? I spend time with my horses in their pasture and this relaxes me.
Or .. run a hot bath, fill the tub with bubbles, have some wine or beer or a mixed drink if y ou drink, some tea or juice if you don't. Light candles, read a good book while soaking, light some incense.

How can you ask a girl that you want to sniff her feet?
Answer:
Don't ask. Just go ahead and try it. See what happens.
u say 'hey bb nice toes'
Just do it, don't ask.
Do you know this person? If it's a stranger it'd be a little hard.
you don't.
because that's wierd and creepy
i don't think there's any good way of doing this.. perhaps you could drop something on the ground by her feet, kneel down to get it, and sniff her feet without her even knowing?
thats weird man
carefully, very carefully
forget about smelling her feet and seek some counseling. that's not a normal desire.
You can,t. Ya PERV.
For fetish type reasons?
You need to know her VERY well ans be VERY comfortable with knowing she wont freak out at this suggestion before you ask.
Otherwise- just offer her a foot massage - kiss those toes and have a sneaky sniff at the same time.
Have footsie fun
uuummm do it whilst shes sleeping or something so that she will never know cos she probably dump you. thats weird!
Try starting by giving her a foot massage. Then you can casually work your way to sniffing her feet.l
i wouldn't ... it is wierd and creepy
I dont think you should ask her... maybe just wait until shes sitting barefoot with her feet over your lap and just go for it
please don't, thats just plane weird! if you want her to still like you i would forget about the whole feet sniffing thing.
There are many ways, most that I know involve consequence.
If you're 25 or under, tell her your frat is making you sniff womens' feet and can she please help you satisfy your quota by giving you a good whiff of her feet?
I like your style.
Tell her that her grubby little nubbies are that damn cutest things you've ever seen. Then hold em, kiss em, and sniff em as much as you freakin please. She won't mind a bit.
well why would you want to sniff her feet??
Ask that girl if you can take her shoes off, then start massaging her feet, then go ahead start your business dude.
Beware that girl might get turned on!
Just pick a gal with Limberger cheese feet, and no one will ever have to know.
How can we safely dispose of unused prescription medications?
The pharmacy won't take them back. We had been flushing them, but this is very bad for the environment, not to mention impossible to filter out of the waer system. And putting them in the landfill seems like a bad idea as well. Does anyone have any ideas on what we can do? I work at an adult residential program, in New York and we often have this problem. Ideally, i would love for the meds to be used by someone who needs them as it is a HUGE waste of money. But this isn't allowed by my job.
Answer:
The government's new policy includes:
* Take unused, unneeded, or expired prescription drugs out of their original containers
* Mix the prescription drugs with an undesirable substance, like used coffee grounds or kitty litter, and put them in impermeable, non-descript containers, such as empty cans or sealable bags, further ensuring that the drugs are not diverted or accidentally ingested by children or pets
* Throw these containers in the trash
* Flush prescription drugs down the toilet only if the accompanying patient information specifically instructs it is safe to do so
* Return unused, unneeded, or expired prescription drugs to pharmaceutical take-back locations that allow the public to bring unused drugs to a central location for safe disposal

How can we prevent and reduce addiction of teenagers ?
can we recommend them to do more sports
Answer:
In the history of mankind, prohibition has always been the sure way th promote any drug. Also, in that history there will always be a percentage of people addicted to anything under the sun. The best way is to control it's use. For example, in Holland they have cafes where you can smoke weed. This is a country where 8% of the teenage population are using weed. In the US, which practices prohibition on this substance, the corresponding figure is 16 %.
dont give them allowance they cant buy anything so they woul.d just stay home
Introduce them to God
i don't know where you live I'm from Australia,when i was younger they used to have police clubs,you could go there have some fun had a boxing rink,plus mats for judo etc.all free.all run by a policeman
We should lower the drinking age so that they don't see the choice between purchasing alcohol (probably illegal at their age) and purchasing other drugs (also illegal)
Both illegal!
We should also legalise the less harmful substances to get the supply chain away from dealers who will offer the full range of drugs, regardless of the levels of risk associaed with their usage.
You can't! Life sux, so stop being a buzz kill!
P.s. The best way is for them to stop, is to kill them self's. No more life no more addiction :)
Focus them on their studies.
Do not let the teenagers join people that are positive to drugs.
More rehabilitation centers.
Join them in Clubs (Math, Science, Drama Clubs)
Tell them the bad results of taking drugs.
reading
yeah, sports is good. Basically any activity that can be used as an outlet for stress or any other negative feelings a person may have is good.

How can we get food manufacturers to stop using high fructose corn syrup?
High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is poisoning the population, yet it is almost impossible to find food without it. It is even in many foods people don't suspect, such as ketchup, jelly, peanut butter, applesauce, and breads. Even supposedly "healthy" foods, like Kellogg's Smart Start cereal, have HFCS. Since the dangers of HFCS are well known, yet people seem reluctant to boycott foods with HFCS, how can we get food manufacturers to step up and stop using it?
Answer:
The above poster's argument of "stop buying their products" is flawed because it does not take into account the fact that HFCS is in almost everything we consume as a sugar substitute. I'm in Costa Rica right now doing a study abroad program and have to say that I've lost a pretty good amount despite not increasing exercise or dramatically changing my diet. The only difference that I see is that everything here uses sugar rather than HFCS.
If you want to get food manufacturers to stop using HFCS do not just write them, write your representatives and senators. The only reason it exists in the quantities that we see is because corn is heavily subsidized by the government. If the corn subsidies are adjusted to not include HFCS or if sugar's subsidy is expanded, then the use of HFCS would rationally decline.
stop buying their product .. supply and demand theory

How can u take out a wart?
i tried salicylic acid and the wart fell of but it grew back what can i do?
Answer:
Yeah, Salicylic Acid is one of the best over the counter things out there..
The other option you have is surgery, very minor surgery.cautery under local anesthesia. See a dermatologist.if possible
Iknow they have over the counter creme you can get almost anywhere.
go to the docs.
I had mine frozen by my doctor when i was little. I haven't had them since over 10 years later =} Highly reccomend seeing your GP
try the new over the counter freeze treatments they should work sometimes with both types of treatment you may have to do more than once they can be stubborn if all fail go to a doctor.
I know this sounds very unrealisic. My grandmother said if you wash really greasy dirty dishes ,then take the cloth,and hide the cloth under a rock when the cloth decays,then your wart will be gone.My daughter had a wart,and washed dishes after we had chili,and threw the cloth in a dumpster,and within a week the wart was gone. My daughter had the wart for three years. Warts Are Caused By A Virus.

How can u get rid of mosquito bites? any homemade remedies...or something to buy at the drugstore?
get rid of mosquito bites...the redness swelling etc
Answer:
Hello.
Baking soda works great! Lemon juice for wasp stings, so I read.
Just pat some baking soda with a pinch of water added making a paste and apply in the affected areas. I read this in a book stating over 500 ways to use baking soda. I tried it when I got mosquito bites and it soothed away the irritation. You don't need to worry about getting any side effects since it is an all natural remedy.
Stay health and God bless.
Occasionally massage along the spine with Cocoa Butter; an ounce in which there has been put five grains of quinine, mix thoroughly. Massage this along the spine, under the arms and in the groin. Not only will the mosquito not bite, but there will be no malaria.
-Edgar Cayce Reading 5188-1
I know you're probably not supposed to do this, but I always use fingernail polish. If it starts itching again, I apply another layer.
Buy some after-bite.Works great.
What i used to use on mosquito bites that helped me was Johnsons baby lotion the pink stuff really helped alot. you can also try for the itching hydro-cortisone cream
If you have a lot of bites, it might be a good idea to take a dose of antihistimine; benedryl is a good over-the-counter choice for bug-bites. You can also help stop the itch by painting over each one with clear nail polish (or another color, if you're feeling adventurous ;-) ); I don't know why it works, but it definitely helps to keep minor bug bites from itching.
take some milk. bring it to a simmer in a pan. let it cool just a bit so that its still relatively warm. then apply to irritated area. ive been doing this for years and its always worked
not sure why it works but it does..i used to make an "x" in the middle of the bite with my finger nail...swelling and itching sopped almost right away...can't hurt to try it to see if it works for you

How can u get rid of a cold fast??
i need it to go away by friday i have choir tryouts!
HELP!?!?!
Answer:
If you want to have a healthy voice for choir try outs on friday the best thing to do would be this. %26#92;
1. Make sure you get a lot of good rest, rest=regeneration and energy.
2. Try drinking drinks with tons of electrolytes such as gatorades and vitamin waters
3. Drink hot soup and have some hot tea as much as u can
4. Friday morning before you audition, have about 2 spoons of honey, or put some honey in your tea and have a cup of tea, this will sooth your voice and help any remnance of the cold settle down
Try drinking a lot orange juice, tea with lemon or honey. Also get some good rest. I hope you get better.
If you have a JAMBA JUICE by your house, id reccomend drinking a "Cold Buster" smoothie, or any smoothie with the "Immunity Booster" in it , it has all the vitamins you need to get better [including Vitamin C]
so ya that helped me feel better ASAP without even taking any meds. just blast yourself with vitamins and good foods and rest.
vitamin c cough drops.. orange juice.. you need vitamin c its what defends your body from getting sick.
there is an over the counter product called "zicam" has worked great for me .. the catch is you have to start using it at the first symptoms, takes longer once the cold has taken hold.
if you can .. clear your schedule and just rest for the next three days and drink alot of water (zicam will help) and pump vitamin c's into yourself. By alot of water I mean to the point where you have to use the bathroom about every 15 min.
Expectorants and humidifiers can help you get rid of a cold. Expectorants are medicines that help breakup the phlegm in your lungs so you can cough it up, and breath easier. Robitussin Severe Congestion Liqui-Gels, Vicks 44E, and Extra Action Cough Syrup are good over-the-counter expectorants. Couple these medicines with a humidifier and some eucalyptus oil and you should start to feel less of the cold in your lungs.
The single most important cold treatment to help you get rid of a cold is fluid intake. Keep yourself hydrated with sports drinks. sports drinks are the best hydrating formulas you can buy. Why? Because they have electrolytes like potassium, sodium, and chloride which help your body absorb the fluids. The sugars also help give your body energy it might be losing from a lack of food.
Sudafed will knock out ANYTHING.

The single most important cold treatment to help you get rid of a cold is fluid intake. Keep yourself hydrated with sports drinks. sports drinks are the best hydrating formulas you can buy. Why? Because they have electrolytes like potassium, sodium, and chloride which help your body absorb the fluids. The sugars also help give your body energy it might be losing from a lack of food.

How can thinking too much drive you crazy?
Answer:
When you're in a position where you have got several uneasy decisions to make plus lots of other stressful situations going off around you then it is often hard to focus. The pressure to make the correct choices is increased and you can literally feel as though you're going crazy. You'll find this out all too soon, LOL.
Thinking about your question is driving me crazy. Big Open Spaces. Big Open Spaces. Big Open Spaces. What oh yeah. Oh my goodness what happend.....? Everything goes back.

If it's excessive, maybe you should just sleep on it :)
Its mentally. Your mind can hurt you. for example if you think that your pregnant(Deep inside your not) you can make you self grow a stomach. Your mind is very powerfully. Please don't to much. Relax!
Depends what you're thinking of. If you're thinking of things that are really painful to you...terrible past occurences and the likes..then this may lead you to some sort of depression.
How can someone who sleeps the same ammount as me have so much more energy than me?
what is it that makes them have so much more energy than me?
we both sleep for 8 hours every night and neither of us or on drugs!
help!
Answer:
Drink more water.
Most people dont drink enough. The more water you drink the more energy you'll eventually have plus it helps you to stay a healthy weight too. Sometimes when we feel hungry between meals its because we're in fact thirsty. Its our body telling us that we havent drank enough.
Look at gender, food intake %26 matabolism, height, weight, age!
are you over worked or under worked ..i work hard and feel tired then when i clear off on holiday i,m tired because of doing nothing lol
sometimes it has to do with diets
if you dont eat right that could be sappping up your energy
or stress can sometimes do the same thing
try eating better or relieving some stress
Different metabolism, better diet, different genes, better attitude, more interesting things to do.we're all just different.
Well as you already surmised , everyone is different. Size, body frame, metabolism all contribute to energy levels. I notice short people usually have a lot more energy, do you notice that ? I mean its like we all get the same but they have less room to spread it out so it overflows! Just a joke, but anyway thats my best answer.
it all depends on metabolism, or how you eat what you do etc. maybe your not getting good enough sleep, such as you wake up in the middle of the night and go back to sleep without realizing it.
Everyone is different. Energy levels can be effected by your state of health, your diet, your mental state (tension is very debilitating) your attitude to life, etc.
Some people do need more sleep than others. But normally energy is about diet and exercise.
Food is fuel - If you eat a well balanced diet you get all the nutrients your body needs.
Exercise - The more energy you use, the more your body wants to use it again.
If you do the above - see your doctor.

How can someone make his/her nerves strong?
Is it medically true that nerves could be weak? What could be the symptoms? What could be the reasons and how can we remove these reasons?
Answer:
Nerves can become demyelinated in conditions such as MS. Is this the "weakness" to which you refer?
If by nerves you mean neurotransmitters, you make them strong by eating a healthy, balanced diet.
There is no doubt that food can make us feel good. Food has the ability to alter the production or release of neurotransmitters. This mood-food relationship is explained by neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers transmitting our thoughts and actions to the brain. The food we eat affects the neurotransmitters, thus changing our moods. The mood-food connection is a combination of physiological and psychological interactions.

How can someone just up and die of a seizure??
My friend was 17,all his life he's had seizures.My question is,why did he die now ? Out of all the seizure's he's had why did this one kill him? And Docs out there??
Answer:
I am assuming your friend was epileptic. Sudden Death is a known phenomena among Epileptics at night. According to post mortem studies apparently this occurs either due to an irregular heart rhythm brought about by the seizure or due to an insufficient airway during the postictal state following a seizure. When epileptics sleep alone baby monitors have sometimes been installed to alert other in the house of a seizure occurring during the night. Sorry about your friend but he did not loose the will to live. The postictal state is unconscious so I hope you can take some comfort in knowing that your friend was not panicked or in pain
More likely than dying from the seizure, he had some other problem...a blood clot or fat embolism, weak heart, something like that which was aggravated by the seizure.

How can I.?
how can I make myself a little more sick so I don't have to go to school tomorrow? I haven't been sick all year and I really just want to skip a day.
Answer:
Watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off. That should teach you something.
But if you can't do that in time, just fake it the best you can. Stomach aches are the best way to go, because they usually don't come with a fever. Try throwing in a headache and you just might have something.
Good luck.
Look sick, act sick.. Pops
now now now so close to the end of the year too=try and hang in there okay=summer is going to be here soon
taco bell
Don't make urself sick, just fake it! Just be like, I dont have a fever but my head hurts and Im aching all over...thats what I did.and then get "better" throughout the day so you can have some fun!
It seems that you are sick since you want to be a little more sick. I think that it will help you in a long run if you go to school tomorrow. If you do not want to go and since you are sick already, so just let your parents know that you are sick.
rub your eye and make it red and say you have pink eye

How can I wake up better in the morning?
I have a lot of trouble getting up in the morning.. I have set three alarms because sometimes, I don't even hear my regular one. I took my snooze button out of it, as well, but i still can't get up. It takes me nearly an hour to wake. I go to bed around ten, but I've tried to go to bed earlier and that still doesn't help! I don't even feel rested in the morning..
Answer:
Go to bed early and then when the first alarm goes off. Sit up and watch TV. Then get up and start getting ready. Give yourself time to get over the sleep enertia stage!
(saw it on MSN)
lol same for me.. i have a cell phone so before i go to sleep i put my alarm on high voume and set it right next to my ear...haha... but i would also avoid caffiene before sleeping and going to sleep earlier
I have friends who are in the same situation as you lol. Maybe you could try a roomate or your parents to wake you up? Or ask someone to call you every morning and dont stop calling until they are certain that you're awake.
lol i'm exactly the same way. My hand literally has a mind of its own(when the alarm goes off my hand hits snooze when i'm not aware of it) Put the alarm clock across the room. That way you'll have to get up in order to turn it off. Or set the alrm for an hour earlier.

How can I stop this itching inside of my ears?
The insides of my ears are constantly itching and it is driving me crazy. The doctors cannot find anything wrong with my ears however. Does anyone know of any remedies for this and what may be causing this? Drops for swimmer's ear do not work neither does cleaning my ears with q-tips.
Answer:
My ears itch when my allergies act up... if you have allergies, take an antihistamine (unless you have another medical condition that prevents it).
I also let the shower water run into my ear canals, the warmth and pressure help relieve the itch. However, this is not recommended if you have a history of swimmer's ear (external otitis), ear surgeries, or a perforated eardrum. I then vigorously use my towel to dry my outer ears.
MiraCell has a reputation of being very soothing for many ear issues... http://www.miracell.com/ear_care.html...
There is a warm air ear dryer, called the Sahara Dry Ear that is getting good reviews... http://www.dryear.net/
DO NOT USE COTTON SWABS (a.k.a. Q-Tips); not only do you risk pushing wax deeper into your ear or injuring your ear drum, you also cause tiny abrasions along the thin skin in the ear canal wall that contribute to the itch and inhibit the ears' self-cleaning mechanisms.
idk i had the same problem just tak ur mind off of it good luck hope it works.
stop itching and see wat happens
try letting shampoo run in your ears when you wash your hair, but dont leave it in and dont just put any in them... just kind of make it accedental
take a q-tip do not insert it all the way in but in enough to snug and very lightly wiggle it around
Maybe someone if thinking about you.
get waxol ear drops. It is probably a wax build up causing it.
You will not like this answer but it is the true one. As the other poster said and also an ear/nose/throat specialist told me, take your mind off it. Something is on your mind enough to have you itching your ears. The problem is, once you start, then you have aggravated the ear lining and it itches all the more! You have to remind yourself every time you start to go for the ear to stop! It is hard at first. Have your friends/family remind you. They can actually swell closed if there is too much trauma from itching. Wear socks on your hands at night until the itching is under control. When it is under control, you will not feel the wetness and itching anymore. Good Luck!

How can I stop sitting on sunglasses?
busted another pair. Luckily these ones were not expensive but I have busted some good ones too.
Answer:
Make yourself a rule not to put sunglasses below waist height - that way you eliminate the chance of sitting on them. Or keep your sunglasses in a hard case so if you do sit on them you will do less damage. good luck :o)
watch where you put your glasses and also watch where you sit. and if you know that you are very prone to breaking them than dont buy expensive ones, you wont feel so bad breaking a cheap pair.
be careful where you sit
Best thing would be keep your glasses on top of your head whenever you don't need them.
I don't know I can't stop doing myself either, I put them down and forget or don't relize I put them down and then there go's another pair. All I can do now is buy the cheap ones as much as I break/Loose them
1. Tie them round your neck with sports glasses loop available from opticians.
2. Buy unbreakable ones.
3 glue a nail to them :)
don't let your butt wear your sunglasses

How can I stop procrastinating?
Any good tips?
I'm not even done with my homework yet...
I go on the internet ALL the time.
And I really need to stop... because I'm losing sleep.
And it's just really unhealthy.
Answer:
you need to find some structure. Something thing to enable you to find the need to organize your life. it will be hard. and difficult at times. only you will make it worthwhile
Good Luck
Lol I do this too. Just try and think of your task as being easy, and you can actually finish it, and it is cool. Then finish it.
Most procrastinators get overwhelmed by looking at the enormity of a project, then don't do ANYTHING rather than deal with their anxiety.
Break up a project into smaller parts, and set a schedule on when you should be getting to each part.
By dividing up something into smaller bites, you can get the satisfaction of finishing one part (like the first 10 questions out of 40 in your homework) and reward yourself with a break on the Internet.
Just keep to your schedule and you'll start breaking the bad habits that built up over time.
