Is alternative medicine a Quack?

Germaine Tieken: Put a bit of Vick's salve just inside your nostrils and steam your face over a bowl of steaming water. Blow your nose and repeat. That will loosen and rid you of a lot of the congestion. Take Motrin (with food in your stomach) and Nyquil at night. Drink A LOT of water. Feel better!

Clare Hoard: A lot of people don't actually get high the first time.just FYI

James Langmyer: Is it okay to try weed just once? I wanna experience it, but I'm nervous. I'd be with people, but idk! I won't do it again.

Georgianna Zollo: Homeopathy :-Take just one dose of NUX VOMICA 30C half an hour before bedtime and just lay down you will be sleeping like a baby before you know it. :-) Works like a charm and the best medication to beat a sleeping pill habit too. just stop taking it before bed time soon as you feel you can go to sleep without any aid. You are cured 100%.Totally Non Addictive with no side effects or complications of any sort.Take Care and God Bl! ess you !

Emery Blando: Yeah im sure druggies said they just want to try and wont do it again when they started....Its also agents the law so remember that.But yeah you could try it if you really want to just make sure your with people you trust and dont do too much.

Jana Sakasegawa: Go for it. You only live once, carpe diem. It's only marijuana. Don't choke, go slow. :P Good luck.

Weldon Totaro: i have the same problem! no matter what I do I can't sleep. It's ruining my life. I can't go to work, school, or anything. I used to have a daily routine I would follow where I'd wake up and get some excersize then go out and do things but now I can't. I sometimes end up falling asleep out of nowhere during 8:00 AM then waking up at night when everyone else is sleeping. :(

Basil Blasingame: stop taking for 2-3 days then 30 mins after your dinner have a warm glass of milk, sit upright & do deep breathing exercise for 10 mins. get your heart beat at a steady r! ate, calm your nerves , put on soft music & lie down to bed. I! t would surely work but only after you detoxify your self.

Toya Braskett: Anyone who thinks that alt med works is either a) mistaken, b) lying or c) possibly benefiting from the placebo effect.When it comes to evidence, they generally rely on 'stories' rather than empirical observation (as redangel has kindly shown us).When all the proof you have is "someone on the internet told me" then you're really grasping at straws....Show more

Tamatha Neubaum: Try some Coloidal Silver (a natural "antibiotic" you could say). Usually stops a cold in it's tracks. Lots of O.J., vitamin C and rest. Good luck!

Shena Etulain: If you've just gotten sick try Airborne but it will only work during the first 24 hours of symptoms. If it's past then and you're having congestion and a runny nose than the best thing for you is eucalyptus and vitamin c. You can get this either in an oil form and place it in a difuser if you have one. Or vicks on your chest along with Vicks euca! lyptus tablets that can be placed in the shower to give you a steam room feel. Then see if you can get to either the nearest Jamba Juice for a ColdBuster which has an enormous amount of Vitamin C or grab a big jug of Natural Orange Juice (not from concentrate) and start drinking.Good luck!...Show more

Bruno Galasso: The vast majority of Alt.med lacks scientific plausibility as well as evidence of efficacy. In the case of Vitamins, they aren't alternative per se. They work and are of benefit, but only if your body is lacking that particular chemical. The problem comes when the quacks claim that routine vitamin supplementation has any therapeutic benefits.They also like to try and treat various diseases and ailments with it. Beware of the lack of evidence base. Ex. Vitamin C for the common cold. There is no good evidence to support it.Edit: Note that homeopathy is the highest level of quackery. It does not work....Show more

Mario Stricklan: it's fine to do it, an! d don't just do it once, do it a few times so you get a good overall ex! perience with it, long as you don't get laced ****, then it is 100% safe.

May Stands: yes. the truth.

Evelin Turlich: The pharmaceutical companies have pretty much monopolized the practice of medicine. They make so much profit off of people's elms that they immediately reject any alternative. In fact, the only herbs they do pass are the ones deemed illegal, such as Marijuana for Glaucoma, because otherwise herbal treatments could be grown by the people themselves and plants are non-taxable. For an herbalist to conform to the FDA's thinking is like a Jew trying to follow Hitler's doctrine. Native American's used to fight infections with plants all the time. It isn't just herbs that are rejected, but potential cures as well. Most medicine's aren't designed to fight the illness, but merely the symptoms. Think of the ramifications if there was a cure for the common cold, how much money would Big Pharma or Glaxo-Cline-Smith lose if people passed up the regular sympto! m suppressor and went straight for the cure. How much money would the hospitals lose if there was an alternative to chemo therapy? They actually make millions, if not billions, off of chemo. Chemo doesn't just kill cancer cells, but all cells; the idea there is a person has to suffer as they are slowly killed along with cancer; if they outlive the caner the expectancy of their life usually drops by 10 years. It goes even further then this; through the guidelines of Codex Alimentarius, the Food and Drug Administration and World Health Organization have come to the conclusion of classifying vitamins and minerals as drugs, which allows them to limit the amount of nutrients added into food products. Purina Dog Food has 44 minerals in it while rat pellets contain 21; but you're not going to find the average human baby formula with more then 11. These drugs effect our physical and mental health and it has become increasing in numbers the amount of infants put on depression medica! tion. I went through the basic ups and down through life growing up and! I didn't need depression meds. Most of these mood altering drugs contain fluoride (94% Prozac); I probably don't have to tell you how the Nazi's used to add fluoride to Jews drinking water in concentration camps and what a large amount of intake fluoride does to a person's mind. I also recall in the 1950's a guy named Wilhelm Reich, who was an associate of of Sigmund Freud, developed Orgone Accumulators. Orgone, he thought, was the basic energetic source field of life. The Orgone Accumulators worked miracles when it comes to cures be it physical or mental. Reich was indited by the FDA and thrown in jail for two years, in which he died one and a half years later. The FDA went to lengths of burning his books and recalled his Orgone accumulators to suppress his work....Show more

Marcellus Exler: for a good night sleep, get this natural fruit beverage ...www.erictan.goMangosteen.net. It work pretty well for me and my wife and the rest of the family.

Toney Flaten: I! agree with Jenna about the vitamin c. It will help reduce the longevity of your cold symptoms. If you are terribly congested though, it may help to try a neti pot. When I was pregnant with my last child, I read a lot about the effectiveness of using neti pots for congestion. Since I wasn't allowed anything over the counter, which I try to avoid even when not pregnant anyways, I figured I would try it. It worked very well! Much better than saline spray. I will find a website with instructions for you. If you cannot find a neti pot at your local health food store, just use a small teapot. You mix some sea salt with warm water, plug one nostril, and pour the warm saline solution in the other nostril until it comes out the other side. It will usually cleanse your sinuses quite well. Good luck to you and I hope your symptoms subside....Show more

Keneth Mailhot: you are correct. They mostly rely on at least one magical Component that if you remove it, it makes n! o sense. (less sense)The notion of Chi also known as a life force is th! e magical element of Acupuncture, reflexology Homeopathy relies on the memory of a "spiritual vibration"Reiki, or the form I have seen relied on summoning ancient spirits to heal. So in most AltMed you have to believe in an unexplainable unobservable magical element. Also the element can't be demonstraited to work...Show more

Madie Strople: Well done, you've nailed it. Actually it should not be called alternative medicine, because it doesn't offer a true alternative. Medicine that works is simply called medicine. The majority of 'alternative medicine' is placebo treatments and the industry is rife with scams and fraud. Some of it is totally preposterous and absurd, like homeopathy.You are going to get answers from the 'true believers' and proponents; they typically trot out the usual anecdotal evidence, personal attacks, Big Pharma conspiracy theories, conventional medicine kills hundreds of thousand every year... ANYTHING but provide proper proof that any of it w! orks. Proper proof meaning rigorous, peer reviewed scientific data.Vitamin supplements are one of the biggest cons of all - I don't envy you, I couldn't work in such a shop.Here's a book you would probably benefit from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trick_or_Treatment...Show more

Palmira Lochridge: You are sick for a reason and you can't rush the healing process.what you can do is drink lots of theraflu or alka selzer cold and flu, or natural alternative tea and honey with peppermint and sleep all day tomorrow...you will at least feel healthier but you might look like crap

Fannie Collingwood: try ambien cr it works. you must go to a doc first

Alexandria Popik: Now is the time to start thinking about the decisions you are making in your life. There might be something you want to live for in your future. Life is precious, start making better life choices. Take care.

Paul Maymi: Conventional Western Medicine and Alternative Medicine are two distinct pa! radigms of diagnosing and treating ailments.Many people in China and th! e Far East have never even taken Western pharmaceutical medicine or even met a Western medicine-trained doctor, yet they have some of the World's longest life expectancy rates.So I would say that neither Western Medicine nor Alternative Medicine holds a monopoly on the truth! You can find wisdom in both of these paradigms. Automatically dismissing Alternative Medicine as 'Quack' I think smacks of the highest level of arrogance. Automatically dissing Western Conventional Medicine as a construct of a money-hungry Big Pharma machinery is also quite inaccurate....Show more

Emile Okafor: You need to relax ur mind and free urself from all worries. try valerian tea or aloe vera infusion

Rufus Plough: Maybe you should go to a doctor, and get some test done. Also you should have your doctor recommend you the perfect sleeping tablets.

Jammie Taddei: oh my, you sound fairly sick. no offense, yet each and every from time to time docs are stupid; as in they're rapid ! to assume the lesser of obtainable situations. in case you experience it may be something extra extreme (pneumonia, strep throat, etc), get a 2d opinion, or tell him you experience this is something worse. in spite of if, no count if this is no longer something too extreme, you in all threat purely have a foul flu. has something like that been going around at your college? the ultimate you're able to do is get as plenty relax as you may, drink a terrific variety of fluids (water, yet orange juice too, as that's loaded with diet C), wash your arms frequently, save at a snug temp and take diet C. regrettably, with issues like this, you purely could enable it take its course. yet save taking robitussin or any expectorant which will help loosen the yucky stuff you have been coughing up. that's a solid verify in itself cuz your physique is removing the nastiness. i comprehend you experience terrible, yet dangle in there and experience extra suitable quickly!! as for the vomiting! , eat something easy like toast, chicken noodle soup or applesauce. thi! s is critical to eat and supply your physique as plenty nutrients as obtainable. in case you come across you may no longer save something down, see your rfile back, or a distinctive rfile for a 2d opinion!...Show more

Edwina Fu: Often when you take too many of something like a sleeping pill it will have the opposite effect on you. Read the information and if it is something like Benadryl it can cause you to stay awake with too much.Also, some people just are not affected the same way with common drugs. Try a different kind.

Ramon Dahlheimer: Pills are ILLS. remain busy whole day or else go and take a brisk walk then shower listen to music u like read light stuff eat right ....ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.........SLEEP shall be granted.

Tosha Tawney: Eat as much fresh raw garlic as you can. It is one of the best things to dry out a runny nose. The net pot and vit c are also good but the garlic works a treat. Only ! side affect with vit c and garlic is you might get going to the loo as soon as your system is saturated but it only takes one good clean out.

Stephnie Patout: It may be a lose-lose for you, depending on how serious believe that you will never do it again.If you do it, and you enjoy it, and everything's fine, there's very little chance that you won't do it again. People who just try it once and like the feeling will eventually make excuses for themselves to try it again and again. If you do it, and you hate it, and it's a horrifying experience that confirms you should never do it again, then you're probably better off just not doing it in the first place. Just watch your friends get stoned, and maybe get new friends if you find them boring afterward....Show more

Shemeka Laker: There is more you don't know than you know.From what you say, you don't even understand very much what science is about.Mainstream medicine is for a big part, opposite to what many people t! hink,not a science,but just applied statistics, also called fakescience! .That is JUST the BEGINNING of what you don't know....Show more

Bryant Chaudhry: Alternative medicine is a very broad term for multiple practices. As a Traditional Chinese Medical practitioner I Truly endorse and believe in this medicine based on factual results we obtain in the clinic. It is a medicine that is 3,000 documented years old in which there are many hospitals in asia that solely practice this medicine. I hope this helps. Christopher Grodski, L.Ac., Dipl. OM

Robin Weelborg: My family and me are going to ceder point on Saturday and I just happened to get sick, I got head congestion and my nose is so runny its crazy, runny noses are the worst, can ! someone tell me a good medicine to get rid of all this and fast?

Marty Tichnell: As explained by several others you are absolutely correct in your assertions. Many alternative (to) medicine ideas have been put to the test, and failed. So it is not simply a matter of absence of evidence but actually evidence of absence.

Kellie Waycott: The best thing you could do is buy some Simply Saline (use the blue bottle if you can find it...if not, the regular kind works too) and use it several times a day religiously (tilt your head over the sink and spray it up each nostril. Give it about 10 seconds, then blow your nose.) It feels weird, but it will help dry up the runny nose and help with the pressure and congestion. I also like to drink Echinacea tea (Celestial Seasonings has a nice minty one) for a few days until I'm feeling little better - just don't use Echinacea in any form for more than a week b/c your body will get lazy and start to depend on its boost for your! immune system to function. Vitamin C is also good, as is Zinc but you! don't want to overdose on Zinc so be sure to follow the recommended dosage.Medication wise, it depends on what works for your body, but I like to use an allergy/sinus medicine combo when I'm both runny and stuffy. You can also buy sudafed (a decongestant that will help with the congestion) and benadryl (will help with the runny nose). If benadryl makes you sleepy, you can go with something like Alavert. It's more expensive but works for most of the day and won't make you tired. Dayquil works too, but if you don't have all the symptoms, it's overkill. Hope you feel better!...Show more

Mel Crapo: I used to think that too until I learned about all the junk out there and found a good source for my supplements. You get what you pay for and need to read the labels to see how much of the actual supplement is in the product. No matter what one chooses to do they must believe in what they are doing. Do you really think pharmaceuticals are the best solution after reading ! all the side effects from them? I have had great success using what nature provides for us and will never go back to pharmaceuticals....Show more

An Trebil: I took two the other night, and that didn't work, so I decided to try three tonight and it still won't work.I've been try different kind of sleeping tablets and none of them work.
