How does hot lemonade work for a cold?

Posted by admin on April 30th, 2010

Question 1
How does hot lemonade work for a cold?…  I have a cold how does hot lemonade work for a cold?

Answers
1)   It doesn’t do anything for a cold. It may make you feel better, but it’s not curing you any. – airjarrod

2)   you,re hydrating, which is very important. it soothes a sore throat. i prefer black tea with lemon. it will not cure a cold. – David

3)   keeps you hydrated, steam assists with clearing nasal passages

there was a theory that the vit c in the lemon would help with colds but this is an old wifes tale – sticks123

4)   it calms you down, allowing your body to naturally fight the bacteria causing sickness. it also relieves the stress on your throat and its just tastes good. – realestate signstexas

5)   ask jeeves – Rohit k

6)   I’m not a Professional, just a regular joe who’s done a lot of that lemonade & such.

I don’t see anybody telling you wrong, indeed it will not "cure" etc., but assuming you’re getting it as cheap as I, it helps as much as anything else & definitely benefits you in other ways, anti-oxidant, clean mouth with rinse-swallow & otherwise, approaching infinity.

Plus the convenient economical things you might add!

Honey!

Fruits or vegetable or maybe even fish or who knows, infinite possibility?

So assuming your taste enjoys the lemon or other Vitamin C, assuming maxed-out low cost, the bang(z) are certainly worth the buck & work, etc.

Plus, apart from fresh, it is packaged to store well almost endlessly, even just in case of a sic day when you want the C firing through your flesh & blood.

It works any temperature you please, by the way ;-)

Hope you get better soon, if you’re not feeling well – Steve P

Question 2
why does my guy friend flirts with me when with friends, but doesn’t talk to me when we’re alone?…  He smiles whenever he sees me, make up love songs and sing them using my name, tease me whenever he sees me, but never talks to me when we’re alone! =/ He does all of that (including smiling) when we’re in our mutual friends group. But if I happen to bump into him just the two of us, he always acts like he didnt see me, and acts all surprised! GOD. what’s up with him???

Answers
1)   There can be many different ways to answer your question but one of the parts of the answer is that guys sometimes don’t get it right. He knows what to do when in a group setting but is so unsure of himself that he has trouble with the one on one part. He may know how to wow a group but falls flat on his face one to one.

I think it would do you good to have a sit down with him and tell him how he makes you feel and ask why he does things like that. He may not know he’s doing it but if he doesn’t want to change and you don’t like how it feels, it may be time to rethink the whole thing. good luck. – Douglas B

3)   He might be showing off in front of his friends or trying to make yours jealous. I know that you mightn’t want to believe that so go with Douglas’s suggestion of talking to him. Hope this helps, it’s my first real answer. – John

4)   It’s probably what the first guy said. (I reported the spammer btw :D )

I’d have to say, my first opinion was that he’s just showing you off….but most guys even then would still talk. If he really really likes you, maybe he’s just shy?

It’s pretty odd behavior to me. :/ – lynxinthesink

Question 3
need advice on how to deal with knee pain?…  ok so i’ve had knee pain for five years. last year i went to a doctor who said i had runners knee. i went through electric stimulation, physical therapy, and and anti inflammatory salve but nothing even relieved it. then he referred me to an orthapedic who said i needed to do one stretch that would cure it. well…here i am today with knee pain and no answer. i’m starting to get spider veins around my knees and idk if this could be related. the pain came on gradually with no injury before. i will not sneak behind my moms back…she will not take me to a doctor again although she said she would 3 times in the past 4 months! any solutions would be helpful! thank you!!

p.s. weight is definitely not the problem and my knees grind…

Answers
1)   i’m no expert or doctor in any way,but my sister use to have problems with her leg . She would go back and forth to the doctor about it. She still uses this stuff called tiger balm, and it seems to help. You just rub it on. You should be able to find it in the health section or look online for what stores carry it. – chocaholic

2)   You say it’s grinding you have and I’m wondering if you have tightness in bending it or pain while bending it as well? That would say it’s the tendon for the kneecap that has shortened up pulling the kneecap up on and into the knee so when you bend it it is painful and hard to do. Once you release your tendon for your knee it should help in getting rid of the pain. Here is how to release it:

Kneecaps:

Do while sitting on a chair with no front cross braces.

While sitting have your leg resting in a stretched mode. Place both your thumbs, side by side, about 2 inches behind the kneecap and press down into your leg and then redirect the pressure a little towards the kneecap. After 30 seconds, slowly slide your foot back and under your chair as far as it will go, release the pressure but hold your foot there for another 30 seconds.

the most important part of this is the pressure on the leg. If there isn’t enough it won’t take. If you have that trouble repeat it right away. Recently had a gal write back that it took the third time to get hers. – Douglas B

3)   I know how you feel. I have been dealing with knee pain in both my knees for over 24 years now.

From what you are saying with the grinding it sounds like you have Chondromalacia patella which is the softening and degeneration of the tissue (cartilage) underneath the kneecap (patella).

Here are the symptoms

* A grating or grinding sensation when the knee is extended

* Knee pain in the front of the knee that worsens after sitting for a long period of time

* Knee pain that worsens with using stairs or getting out of a chair

* Knee tenderness

I went thru the same crap that you are now… oh try this and it will help and try that and it will fix it. The Orthopedic that you saw was crap and you need to find one that specializes in knees. And you may have to go to doctor after doctor to find one that will listen to you. I know when i first moved to NC i saw 10 docs in one year till i Found on that would listen.

Just tell your mom my short pitiful story and mabye she will wake up and take you to the doc, since there are treatments that you can get if you are in the early stages of the condition.

I was 13 when my knees started hurting i was told that it was growing pains and to deal with it. Well by the time i was 16 my right knee was so bad that my mom finally took me to the orthopedic. Well at that time there was nothing that they could do other than cortisone shots. Well those did not work so I had surgery.

Long story shot 24 years later I have severe arthritis in both my knees. I have had 6 surgeries on my right knee and 2 on the left. They hurt damn near all the time and the only answer that might provide some relief is a replacement but I am only 37 and to young for that, as I have been told over and over. I have spent over 30,000 on surgeries on this shitty knees, and that is with my insurance.

Now if I was you in this day and age I would get treatment early so that you dont end up in the shape that i am in. – CrazyHorseLady

4)   you need a new ortho doc. i had knee pain. found out asap that i had a non repairable torn meniscus in my left knee. i have a new knee. i like it somuch! keep digging until you find someone who will help. my wife has arthritis under the patella. this might be what you have. – David

3)   Lots of time the tendons in our muscles answer pain by shortening themselves up which makes the whole muscle shorter than it should be and usually results in pains. I think that is what happened to your achilles tendon. In time they will release by themselves but that can take a long time and is never a good full release. Here is how you can fully release it right now to get rid of that pain:

Achilles tendon:

While sitting and your leg on your lap, take both thumbs and place them side by side at about ankle height on the tendon on the back of your leg and apply pressure hard and hold. After 30 seconds slowly raise your toes up as far as you can, release the pressure but hold your foot there for another 30 seconds. – Douglas B

Question 5
How to ease a sore neck?…  This morning I woke up and couldn’t move my head or there would be a sharp pain. It has been continuing throughout the day and isn’t easing at all. Right now, I am applying heat and cold to it. Any other suggestions?

Answers
1)   Well you usually get a neck pain from sleeping in an uncomfortable posision all night without realizing it. So when I wake up with one I take 2 Advil or 2 Aleve and the pain went away in like 30 minutes. Hope this helps! – andrew

2)   Exercise the muscles slowly. Slowly rotate your neck in a circular motion to help to stretch out the agitated muscles. This may be somewhat uncomfortable at first, but it ultimately helps to alleviate the pain.

Take a shower. Let the lukewarm to hot water run over your neck for at least four or five minutes. Keep your neck straight as you do this, and do not turn it.

Use a heating pad. Apply a heating pad for a couple of minutes to help to stimulate your neck.

Use an Ice Pack. Apply an ice pack, or something from the freezer wrapped in a towel to the affected area. This can give better relief than the above.

Apply balm to the sore neck.

If Neck Pain is severe, a neck brace may be needed to support the neck. Only use if you feel your neck is unstable and pain is more severe. To do this at home, roll up a bath towel and wrap around your neck so that your base of your skull rests on top of the towel. Sit in a comfortable position – but if pain is severe seek help.

Take a bath. Take a bath with ‘radox’ it soothes muscles and gets rid of pains.

Get A Massage. Go get a massage at your local Day Spa. It is costly so shop around for a good one.

Sleep the right way and take naps

Apply warm cloth to affected area to relieve some pain. – Stibby

3)   Pain in necks is usually caused by tight or pinched muscles. with that in mind putting cold on it can actually make the pain worse, shrinking something that is already tight. Once you release the muscles it shouldn’t be a problem for the pain should go away right away. Here is how to release the muscles in your neck:

Neck

Invert your hands and put them next to your head placing your thumbs in under your ears and you lower your head until your neck is fully extended, release the pressure but hold your head there for another 30 seconds.

With your neck in the bent position, replace your thumbs in under the ears and your fingers behind your neck but right next to your skull this time. Press your fingers and thumbs together again and hold. Relax your body while waiting. When the muscles have all released, slowly lift your head until it’s level again, release the pressure but hold your head like that for another 30 seconds. – Douglas B

Antidepressants and self-poisoning risk – which are the riskiest?

Posted by admin on April 30th, 2010

Self-poisoning is a common way of killing oneself, especially among women. Because suicide is linked to depression, and antidepressants are often easily available, antidepressants are involved in around 25% of all poisoning suicides in the U.K. and 20-30% of non-fatal overdoses. It is therefore important to know if certain kinds of antidepressants are riskier than others. A team of researchers led by Keith Hawton from Oxford University compared numbers of prescriptions to numbers of deaths in cases of deaths by self-poisoning. They used data from six general hospitals in Oxford, Manchester and Derby between 2000 and 2006. The study found that older, tricyclic antidepressants were much riskier than the SNRI (Serotonin-Norepinephrine Reuptake Inhibitor) drug venlafaxine and the NaSSA (Noradrenergic and Specific Serotonin Antidepressant) drug mirtazapine. In turn these drugs were riskier than SSRIs (Serotonin Specific Reuptake Inhibitors). Among the tricyclic antidepressants dosulepin and doxepin were both riskier than amitriptyline while within the SSRIs citalopram was riskier than the other drugs.

Experts – we know next to nothing about Alzheimer’s

Posted by admin on April 30th, 2010

Over the years – and indeed on this blog – there have been quite a few stories linking different foods, habits and lifestyles to an increased or decreased risk of Alzheimer’s disease. However, a panel of experts set up by the National Institutes of Health in the U.S. has reviewed all the evidence and found that we still know next to nothing about what (beyond getting older) causes it and how we can prevent it. There is a strong association with a gene called ApoE4 but it is a long way from being aware of the link to deriving any practically-useful information from it. There was no evidence of even moderate scientific quality linking dietary supplements, drugs, healthy eating, exercise and a good social life to a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s and in studies that did show an association there was no evidence that it wasn’t being mentally alert that allowed people to maintain a healthy lifestyle rather than vice versa. There was evidence that diabetes, depression and smoking were associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer’s but nothing to suggest that they were connected.

Has the bubble burst for Omega-3s?

Posted by admin on April 30th, 2010

Following on from research showing that omega-3s might not improve cognition in older people

http://mentalhealthupdate.blogspot.com/2010/04/omega-3s-not-miracle-solution-for-older.html

a new study shows that they may not have much of an effect in children either. Researchers from the University of Wales studied 450 children between the ages of eight and ten in Newport, South Wales. Half of them were given omega-3 supplements while the rest were given a placebo. The children were given psychological assessments and teachers and parents reported on any changes they saw in their behaviour. Reading, spelling and coordination were largely unaffected by the omega-3 although it did produce an improvement in children’s attention in class.

Bupropion helps people with schizophrenia stub it out

Posted by admin on April 30th, 2010

People with schizophrenia are three times more likely to smoke than the rest of the population and find it harder to give up. A drug called bupropion blocks the effects of nicotine and has been used to help people without schizophrenia quit. A team of researchers led by Daniel Tai-yin Tsoi from the University of Sheffield reviewed 21 studies into the effectiveness of bupropion in helping people with schizophrenia quit smoking. They found that it was nearly three times as effective at helping people stop smoking than a placebo and had no effect on people’s mental state.

Picking up the pieces in Kosovo

Posted by admin on April 30th, 2010

Millions of people all over the world suffer from the psychological consequences of warfare and a large number of studies have reported high levels of psychological distress among civilian survivors of war. Researchers from the University of Amsterdam, the University of Connecticut and the Kosova Rehabilitation Centre for Torture Victims studied 67 people seeking treatment for war-related stress almost a decade after the conflict in Kosovo finished. The study found that the participants had been involved in ‘multiple war-related traumatic events’ and had high levels of mental-health problems. After treatment the participants reported no changes in post-traumatic stress symptoms or psychological wellbeing although they did show reduced levels of depression and ‘overall psychiatric distress’ and an improved quality of life. Those participants who improved after treatment were the ones who had been in less distress at the start of the study.

Psychosis – hearing the service users’ stories

Posted by admin on April 30th, 2010

There has been lots of research into psychosis but relatively little of it has looked at the thoughts, feelings and life histories of the people who suffer from the condition. John Rhodes from the Willesden Mental Health Resources Centre in London and Simon Jakes from Campbelltown Hospital in New South Wales looked at 28 people’s accounts of their illness. They were particularly interested in the ways in which the condition developed and whether this was related to any interpersonal difficulties the participants had been experiencing at the time. After studying the participants’ accounts they came up with three patterns of onset: an eruptive, sudden transformation of oneself or one’s world; a slow progressive onset characterised by interconnected changes in meaning and experience and an onset beginning in people’s childhood experiences. Social difficulties were mentioned spontaneously by 17 of the participants and another 9 discussed them when asked. People who had developed psychosis gradually, or in their childhood, had felt negative emotion about, and been preoccupied with, a difficult interpersonal issue over a long time. The participants’ stories suggested that certain ideas and images can take hold of a person, become interwoven into their thinking and start to influence the way they see the world and/or themselves. The authors conclude by suggesting that it is important for people trying to help those with delusions to get them to talk about how their condition started.

My arm hurts? What should I do?

Posted by admin on April 30th, 2010

Question 1
My arm hurts? What should I do?…  So I had a little baseball incident and I fell on my wrist. I had it in a tenser bandage since Yesterday and today someone tripped me by accident and I fell on it AGAIN. It hurts A LOT. The bone on my wrist is a bit swollen. What should I do about it?
Well, not my arm, but my wrist. Where the pokey bone is.

Answers
1)   massage it – Rorschach

2)   Ice on the swelling will help it go down and if you think it is really bad then get an x-ray.

Swelling hurts, you may want to decide after the ice. – Wait Until You See The Prize!

3)   you should let me massage it

and watch a lionel messi game – Matador

4)   Alternate heat and cold, 20 min at a time 3-4 times a day. If old enough and not allergic, take anti-inflammatory as per directions on bottle. Good job keeping it prone, keep that up. If pain intensity does not decrease after a day or so go see a doctor. – grilledcheeze

5)   The advice you;ve been given is good but you also need to treat with ice and nurture it for some time. try not to use it. – lilypool

6)   You should see a doctor to get x-rays to make sure you do not have a fracture.

Hopefully you just have a sprained wrist, but sometimes it is difficult to determine if it’s just a sprain by only examination.

Not sure what you mean by the "pokey bone."

For now, ice it 15 minutes hourly, keep it elevated above heart level, maybe wrap it with an Ace bandage, and take Tylenol/Motrin (depends on your health conditions) for the pain.

If it hurts too much tonight, go to an Emergency Department. If you can wait until tomorrow, then make an appointment to see a good local orthopedist. – bballpro

___________________________________________________

Question 2
help!!!! severe pain!!!!!?…  i have really bad pain in my lower back, around my pelvic bones, and on my lower left side. it hurts really bad but it gets worse when i move. i dont know what it is but it hurts really bad! any ideas?? thanks

Answers
1)   Did something hit you in the kidney? Do you have high calcium levels, you could be passing a kidney stone, which would be confirmed by further severe pain in your urethra while urinating. Also, if the pain begins to radiate from your left side to the middle of your stomach and then to the right, you could be experiencing early stages of appendicitis! ….or you might’ve just slept in a strange position. Take your pick! – Fatty

2)   I recommend you see —> http://www.all-home-remedies.com

I hope that will help you, keep using answers.yahoo.com – Candy

3)   either you have really bad cramps (both guys and girls get them) and it will hurt badly or your appendix is acting up you may want to see a doctor for this – hunta

4)   The only organ that is that low is your ovaries… so you may have an ovarian cyst, or an infection of those organs. You also may have hurt your hip joint if you have fallen or slipped. If its in your lower abdomen and it doesn’t go away seek help. If it is a cyst the pain could be because its about ready to burst and could cause infection inside you. If the pain in your back is more below your ribs that could be kidney. In any case if it dosen’t go away call your doctor or go into the ER. – Heather

5)   Just go to a doctor immediately. i know..i mean…it’s the obvious. do not strain too much (like riding bicycles). riding cycles causes severe pain for some. and try this too. lie flat on the ground with fold legs (knees facing up) .

hope this helps. take care – Ragvi

6)   could be passing a kidney stone , go start a warm bath and get in it.

it should make you feel better…

if that doesn’t help then it’s time to go to a doctor/hospital. – michelle_h43

___________________________________________________

Question 3
should I go to the Doctor or just wait?…  i was working out at the ymca today and i went to sleep when i got home and when i woke up the inside of my left elbow hurt really bad like where the vain is and it hurts evin worse when i try to straiten it out and i cant evin stretch it all the way like normal i cant evin force it to b strait at all so do i just wait or go to the doctor

i dont beleave it to be swolen or puffy and it was mostly my bycepts i was working and its been hurting for like maybe an houer or 2 hahaha i know not smart to wait till now but i try not to let it bother me for a while but ya its getting anoying

Answers
1)   just wait and massage.it will be normal in 30 ~40 min. if not then see a doctor. – Sand…

2)   You gave us limited info. Anyway, You must have worked out really hard. Check if its swollen,and really tender. It could be a dislocation from lifting heavy weights. If no swelling, just pain when u stratch it, it could be a muscle fatigue. Either way, u still have to seek professional medical help – barefoot

3)   I recommend you see —> http://www.all-home-remedies.com

I hope that will help you, keep using answers.yahoo.com – Ashely

4)   If you don’t feel better within a day or so, schedule an appointment with a doctor. You may have pulled something. In the mean time, apply heat, or an ointment like Icy Hot or Tiger Balm. – deciduous_me

5)   Doubt that its your vein that hurts, probably a muscle strain or ligament sprain.

Depends on what exercises you did at the YMCA.

Lots of biceps curls? Or some other elbow or wrist exercise?

If you are unable to completely bend or straighten your elbow, please see an orthopedist soon.

If it is just sore, you can apply ice every hour for 15 minutes and don’t exercise the arm for a few days.

Good question, hope you feel better soon. – bballpro

Question 4
Doctor prescribing me painkillers? Please help?…  I have been diagnosed with epididymitis of my right testicle and have been suffering for a month now. I am currently taking Oxynorm (oxycodone) 10mg every 6 hours and need to renew my prescription each week. My current GP is away till monday (it is friday today) so I made an appointment with another GP at a different practice that I have seen once before. I have proof of my current medication and diagnosis so is this doctor I am seeing this afternoon allowed to prescribe me my usual dose of oxynorm?

I went to the hospital last night due to the severe pain I was in and they told me they couldn’t give me anything stronger than panadeine forte & needed to see my regular doctor. Yet last time I went to an emergency department they prescribed me Endone (oxycodone) 5mg straight out. So you can see how I am confused.

Answers
1)   just kill ur self mate the right nut is tha bomb so if u dont have one ur gay cause the left side is gay mate cause u dont have a rightr nut so go commit nutaside for the love of god u dumb left nut only frik – HERES JONNY

2)   It is all according to the doctor you get. Some are more free with pain meds, some are lees free. You need to see a pain management doctor, not a GP. When you take pain meds only, they work only up to a certain point. The pain mgt. docs can give you combinations of drugs, like pain killers, anit-inflamatory and muscle relaxers, even some antidepressants work on pain. taht said, I would work on solving the problem, and not just masking the pain. – RT215

3)   You might want to check and see if that is really what is causing this pain. It might not be and if I am right you won’t need any painkillers. You can have a pinched muscle in your back that is putting pressure on the nerves going to the testicles and that pressure is causing the pain. Here is how to release your back muscles to find out if that is true or not:

Back:

(do from a sitting position)

Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder and find the muscles next to your spine and press on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side. – Douglas B

Question 5
Problems with my knee, what should i do?…  My left knee hurts just to walk on, even worse when i run. I can’t squat with out it hurting like crazy.

What is the problem and how can i fix it. If it helps, im 17 years old and a little bit over weight

Answers
1)   Well first stay off that knee. You say your a little bit over weight so I don’t think your heavy enough that you are causing joint pain. Perhaps you twisted it earlier but did not notice. Hard to tell. Stay off it for a bit, perhaps get some crutches. If it doesn’t get any better in 3 days, go see a doc so he can look at it. – Javelin

2)   Sounds like you have the tendon for the kneecap shorten up on you. When that happens it pulls the kneecap up on and into your knee making it hard and painful to bend your knee. You can release that tendon by yourself but you have to make sure that you put a lot of pressure on the leg when you are doing this or it won’t take. If that happens repeat it right away. Here is how to release your tendon for your kneecap:

Kneecaps:

Do while sitting on a chair with no front cross braces.

While sitting have your leg resting in a stretched mode. Place both your thumbs, side by side, about 2 inches behind the kneecap and press down into your leg and then redirect the pressure a little towards the kneecap. After 30 seconds, slowly slide your foot back and under your chair as far as it will go, release the pressure but hold your foot there for another 30 seconds. – Douglas B
