Medicine is not the Only Answer

February 19, 2010

We have been accustomed to the belief that medicines will always be the solution to every medical abnormality that happens to a person. However, this is not always the case because there are certain medical conditions wherein medication is actually not necessary or needed.

That way, your brain will continue to work again at a right condition.

How to Overcome ADHD Without Medication? There are lots of questions about this and answers are provided over the internet. You can even purchase a book that provides detailed answers to various questions with this particular ADHD. Nonetheless, if in case such conditions occur to you, just ignore the use of medicine whenever you can because too much medication can have certain side effects.

Summer Cool Tips

July 15, 2009

Planning an out-of-town trip this summer? Check out these cool tips for a stress-free, beautiful summer:

• Prepare in advance. Travel plans should be prepared well in advance. Book tickets and hotel accommodations early especially if traveling as a group to get discounts and acquire savings. Avail yourself of early bird rates being offered by most local airlines.

• Pack wisely. Nothing beats traveling light. Plan your wardrobe based on activities that you plan to undertake while on vacation. Planning to get a morning workout in the hotel gym? A pair of cross training shoes is highly advisable; you may also want to use the pair for walking around the places you plan to visit. For those heading to the beach, make sure you bring easy-to-dry clothes, while for those traveling abroad, check out laundry shops where you can have worn clothes washed.

• Be protected. Make sure you bring SPF lotion as protection when heading to the beach. Also, a pair of UV sunglasses to battle the harmful rays of the sun. Staying out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. is your surefire bet to avoid sunburn. Always wear a hat when walking under the midday sun and make sure you are well covered by sarongs. For guys, at least a shirt.

• Be hydrated. Bringing a refillable jug for hydration is a must. Also, pack a small spritzer for spraying your face with water mist when the heat becomes intolerable. The human body is composed of 70-percent water, and it needs hydration a lot. Drinking seven to eight glasses of water a day is important, especially if you are going to stay in the outdoors a lot.

• Eat healthy. Vacation is a perfect excuse to pig out and forget healthy eating patterns. Don’t forget to eat the most important meal of the day — breakfast. Make sure it’s a healthy breakfast. Due to late night outs while on vacation, we all tend to forego this important meal. Why not grab a cup and drink Nesvita Cereal Milk Drink with your breakfast every day?

A Wonderful Insight from Dermajuv Eye Wrinkle Cream

June 4, 2009

I must confess that I am one of the worst doubters among doubters. Why? Because unless and until you open my brain and let me see by the eyes that things are tangible enough to be perceived or ideas are feasible enough to be believed, you cannot make me accept any proposition at all. Bribe me, if you will, but I may not accept it and you expect to succeed in your wildest dreams. I am really a skeptic. I do not readily believe on things that my eyes didn’t see. I consider myself one of the most hypocritical doubters. Now something has convinced me and stripped me of my personality as a doubting Thomas. That something opened my mind to greater possibilities and enabled me to accept the fact that although miracles rarely happen, they really happen. But I am not talking of miracle here, I am talking of facts passed upon by own experience.

Folks, I do not wish to get too long, nor I wish to droll your eyes reading this lengthily for I do not want to waste your time. I am talking of an eye wrinkle cream which lets me believe what I see, and see what I believe.

Dog Bites and Rabies

February 17, 2009

Q:

I have been bitten by a dog three times—in 1998, 2005, and this year 2009. I was given vaccination 17 daily injections after that first bite. I was not given vaccinations for the subsequent bites because the dogs did not show any sign of rabies. Am I still susceptible to “hydrophobia” or rabies?

---

Rx:

Rabies is an infection caused by a virus which attacks the brain tissue of animals particularly dogs. This is transmitted to other animals and human beings by contamination of entry of virus via the dog’s secretion, particularly its saliva.

Vaccination against rabies is required for those bitten by suspected or established rapid dogs. Stray dogs, dogs that mingle with other dogs or those that scavenge or feed on garbage are most likely to get rabies infection. Thus bites by such dogs must be vaccinated right away. For those dogs that neither are nor highly suspected to be rapid, an observation period of 10-14 days is made on the dog and injections immediately started once the dog show signs of defoliation.

There are two types of vaccination— passive and active. The first is given for immediate protection, and last for a few months. Active vaccination is a series of injections and its protective effects last longer.

Yours was mostly active injection because it was a series of 17 injections usually patients who have had active vaccinations are given only booster doses after they get exposed to suspected rapid dog bites. Because your injection was given about 30 years ago, when you are again exposed to rabies. I’d suggest you get booster injections of the rabies vaccine.
