To some people, urine is one of the a waste product that must be removed from our body system as soon as possible or else, there could be  a lot of danger. Do you think urine is waste, then you have every right  to your views and I have not right whatsoever to force or cajole you to accept any opinion to the contrary. Also, there are people out there who hold their  views that urine has many healthy benefits and cures many sicknesses and diseases. The views of these people should also be acknowledged and respected for these observations not even condemn their views without allowing them to explain their views . But, let me tell you a short story. Three months ago, a close friend had what the doctors described as a terminal disease. He spent fortunes in desperate search for cure and yet no healing in sight. The wife jumped from one hospital to the other in Lagos, Nigeria and there was no success. She visited churches within and outside Lagos and fasted for days so that God will heal the

What is Oxycodone? It is a semisynthetic drug made from thebaine, an opioid which is a constituent of persian poppy and a minor one of opium poppy. Opioid are basically the substances which act on opioid receptors and give you morphine like effects. It is widely used for relief over a range of pain. Oxycodone Addiction As we know that the effect of various drugs that we consume is different on the dopamine levels, that too by different mechanisms. Oxycodone ends up inhibiting the brain cells that inhibit the dopamine secreting cells. This enhances the dopamine levels in our body. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter compound released by the nerve cells, in brain otherwise it acts as a Chemical messenger. Oxycodone ingestion in unprescribed amounts can cause disturbances in the neural pathways. It initiates the cycle of pleasure seeking thereby leading to addiction cultivation. How is the addiction taking place? Oxycodone when consumed binds to the opioid receptors and alters the way the brai

Usage rates for prescription drugs continue to rise with nearly 3 in 5 Americans taking prescription drugs including antidepressants and opioids. In a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, researchers found that prescription drug usage among people 20 and older had risen to 59 percent from 51 percent just a dozen years earlier and it was rising at a faster rate than ever before. During the same period, the percentage of people taking five or more prescription drugs nearly doubled, to 15 percent from 8 percent. Effects of Gender on Addiction It is no surprise then that the non-medical use of prescription drugs including painkillers, tranquilizers, and sedatives continue to be a growing problem in the United States. Statistics show men abuse prescription drugs at a higher rate than women, however, the gap between the genders is narrowing. Females age 12 to 17 are less likely to take abuse prescription drug and abuse and distribution is much higher in males o

Cîroc? Check. Marijuana? Check. VIP Guest? Check. For today's hip, hot and wealthy teens, this pretty much sums up a fun night out on the town. Living in a celebrity-centric community, it's almost impossible to ensure that your teenager stays clear of drugs and alcohol. As your children get older, these "mood enhancers" naturally become more accessible within their social circles. As a concerned parent you may find yourself conducting routine checks of their car, bedroom, and even sniffing out their clothes for traces of drugs or alcohol; anything that you believe that will save them from spending their youthful days in a rehab and medical center. It helps to be proactive. However, rather than sneaking around their backs, it helps to be more vocal. Healthy communication undoubtedly is one of the best methods to ensure that your teenager chooses a drug-free path that will lead them to a successful future. Children who are not properly informed are likely to experiment

The benefits of exercise are vast not only for the body but also the mind. If you want to get the most out of your workouts there are a few key things that should be high on the priority list. Tip 1: Plan When you have a solid plan of action to reach your goals you are more likely to be successful. Hire an experienced coach or find a workout program on a reputable site. If you have a plan when you step into the gym your workouts will be more effective because you won't waste time trying to figure out what to do next. Tip 2: Fuel We need energy to exercise and the fuel we put in our bodies on a daily basis is important. Be sure to include a variety of whole foods especially your green vegetables and limit how much processed food you eat. With a diet full of nutritious foods you will have more energy to perform in the gym. Another point to note is about pre-workout nutrition - everyone is different when it comes to what they need to eat and when so you may have to experiment. If you

I grew up as an only child in a fairly remote area of Colorado. And if that was not isolating enough, my dear mother home schooled me. So, if you think that you were shy as a kid and shy as an adult, to the point of not being able to join a gym because you're too timid, trust me that you're not alone. As I've matured, I've learned a lot about myself. And one of the most important lessons I've come to realize is that we have to do what is right for us, to follow our passions, and not let our worries about other people get in our way. And it is for this reason that being shy does not need to stop you from joining a gym. I've found that there are 3 steps to being able to start going to a gym to workout, even if you have social anxiety and think that you're much to shy to even go through the doorway. 1. To sign up, visit your local gym at an off time. Typically, this is mid-morning between 10 AM and 12 noon. But, if you're incredibly shy and don't want t

If you let your periods be the reason to avoid workout, you must think about Olympic swimmer Fu Yuanhui who didn't let the cycle hamper her participation in the 2016 Games or Kiran Gandhi who finished the 26.2 miles London Marathon during her periods, that too without a tampon or pad. She bled freely with her tights covered with blood. If they can, why can't you? Usually, women don't feel like exercising during menstruation because of the cramps, heavy flow of blood and the sleepless nights that make them feel drained. During periods, each woman responds in her own way to the hormonal changes, but one should not stop doing the regular activities due to that. You should keep the workout according to the capacity of your body (which is of course different for every woman) and never let that time of the month hamper your fitness schedule. Is it safe to work out during periods? According to a famous celebrity fitness expert Deanne Panday, it is OK to do exercises (apart from fe

What We Drink Now We all have those problem areas that we want to get rid of. Recently a lot of people have been using detox tea as a way to lose weight. Actually, detox tea may not be the best way to lose those extra pounds. A lot of detox tea's contain a tea leaf called senna. Senna is a natural laxative and is used to clear the bowel. This will help you lose weight but not the weight you are trying to lose. It's more of the pure body fat we are trying to burn and a laxative is not doing quit that. In fact, if you consume too much senna your body can become dependent on it to have bowel movements, and can even deplete your body of natural nutrients. So What To Do Instead of using detox tea, look for teas that are high in antioxidants. Usually, these teas will be of your green tea variety.

1. Low-calorie portion controlled diet: Successful weight loss maintainers continue to act like recently successful weight losers for many years after weight loss. They do not believe in a transient change but a lasting change in lifestyle and dietary habits. We typically ask our patients to limit their carbohydrate intake during the daytime and eat between 1200 and 2000 calories each day. We have them weigh in once a week to make sure that their calorie/carbohydrate intake is not causing weight regain. Often meal replacements are used to substitute for meals so there is fewer stimuli to eat more types of/ quantities of foods and a known carbohydrate/caloric intake is utilized. Diets that typically vary more lead to weight regain whereas diets that are simplified and restricted to less food types lead to improved weight loss and weight maintenance. The National Weight Control Registry has indicated that people who keep 30 pounds or more off for six years typically have an average intak

Eye irregularities are generally of two categories: infections or muscular incapacities. While a condition such as cataract is a growth and therefore an exception to the rule, it is none the less true that the majority of eye ailments are either of muscular or infectious origin. All infections treated at sanatorium received a general programme of therapy plus specific treatment for the area in which the infection was localized. The application of the anti-infection programme differed only in degree from one infection to another. The final aim always remained the same, the internal and external cleansing of the body. C. K., a woman in her middle thirties, had, since childhood, been the victim of repeated eye infections.

Over the past 20 years, the global epidemic of obesity explains the dramatic increase in the incidence and the prevalence of type 2 diabetes. The precise reasons that link the two conditions are - blur and yet, excess weight is an established risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Many times, obese individuals do not develop type 2 diabetes. Here, let's explore the various causes of obesity and how it is linked to diabetes: What causes obesity? Several genes in your body play a part in causing obesity.

What is Osteoarthritis? Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most commonly encountered conditions that people over fifty are affected by. Age alone is only one of the primary factors behind OA. Others include genetic predispositions, gender, previous trauma or injuries, workplace environment, obesity and other medical conditions affecting the joint and it's cartilage. The symptoms vary from slight creaks in the joint, pain, swelling and the loss of movement. Stiffness upon waking up or sitting for long periods of time can also trigger severe stiffness in the joint. As OA is a degenerative joint disease there is no outright cure. Upon detection of the symptoms, and finding characteristic loss of motion in the joint, a sport medicine doctor may order imaging - X-rays - to confirm the diagnosis. While joint replacement can be a reasonable solution for advanced OA patients, there are many non-surgical steps that can help with osteoarthritis. 5 Non Surgical Ways to Help with Osteoarthritis

Have you had enough? Too many asthma attacks, too many half-hearted attempts at control - and a steadily worsening condition? Have you decided it's time you did something more than merely "put up with it"? If so, you've turned a corner in handling your medical problem. You're ready to stop suffering - and take command. As always, your first marching order must be to learn as much as you can about your condition, to be well-equipped with the facts. WHERE ASTHMA COMES FROM? The first thing you have to accept is that asthma is a disease, and not the psychosomatic condition myths and fiction describe. Many cases of asthma do start in childhood. In fact, it often comes and goes by the later teen years. But the disease is no heavy age discriminator. It affects 1 person in 25 overall and 1 child in 10. Fact is, no one knows exactly why asthma happens. Heredity often does play a role, though in several cases there's no family history. Allergies can trigger attacks, an

Also referred to as atopic dermatitis, eczema is normally an inflammatory reaction of the skin which can be a serious source of discomfort in infants and even adults. While DNA has been implicated in many cases of eczema, other contributing factors include sweating, poor hygiene, stress and contact with chemicals and plants. Eczema development has also been associated with some food allergies such as eggs, milk from cow, soy products, gluten containing foods, nuts etc. Although these foods may not be directly linked to eczema development, they may, however, trigger a flare up and worsen the condition. Maintaining an eczema free skin is usually achieved with proper skin care and improved nutrition. Below are tips to maintain a healthy skin while preventing eczema and itchy skin development: 1. Fish consumption Foods high in anti-inflammatory activity go a long way in curbing eczema development and one of those is fatty fish such as herring and salmon. Omega-3-fatty acids, with appreciab
