Is sex the best alternative to drug addiction?
May 9th
Question by Scott S: Is sex the best alternative to drug addiction?
I’ve read an article a few weeks ago which claims that getting high on drugs is like getting the best sex you’ve ever had in your life. If this is true then most people who have friends or relatives that are into drugs can save a lot of money from spending on drug rehabs. Now, if this is the case, is it appropriate to say that all drug addicts should just get a hooker and get the best sex of their lives to help them recover from their addiction? This seems to be a very interesting point to ponder on if all the facts are true about sex and drugs. I hope you can also share your take on this matter.

What is the alternative rock song about drug addiction, written to the mother?
Jul 31st
Question by just curious: What is the alternative rock song about drug addiction, written to the mother?
I believe the song is 5-10 years old. I can’t remember any of the lyrics, but I know it was an alternative rock song. I believe the song was written to the guy’s mother asking her to forget him and that she was better off not knowing him because of his drug addiction. One of the lyrics mentions either that he is sorry, or that he never said thank you. I vaguely remember the music video taking place in a house.

Herbal Remedies For Menopause And Its Alternative Treatment

Herbal remedies for menopause and its alternative treatment
Menopause is a situation in which the menstruation of a woman stops for one year and ends her reproductive cycle. This is just a normal occasion in a woman’s life. It occurs in every woman when she achieves her late thirties to early fifties. Menopause happens under the influence of hormonal changes in the body. When a woman reaches this period, there are physical and chemical changes that happen and many women practice mood swings, depression, anger, hot flashes, cold sweats, vaginal dryness, urinary changes such as dribbling or repeated urination and burning, and changes in both menstruation and xxx drive. If this happens, the woman must take excellent care of her health and nutrition. Those who encourage themselves well make it through this stage in a good manner.
Menopause is the shutting down of child bearing ability of the woman, and as women go through menopause, their bodies do not produce sufficient amounts of the female hormones.
Many women have to undergo uncomfortable menopausal symptoms; but many herbal remedies have been known to relieve menopausal symptoms.
Thinking of going through hormone replacement therapy to help ease your menopausal symptoms? Have you considered trying some herbal remedies first to see if they help? Rather than go for a drastic option, the use of herbal remedies may be worth a try as they are natural and comparatively safer.
In fact, there are many herbal remedies that can help deal with the various menopausal symptoms that you are having. These include herbal remedies to alleviate your existing condition of night sweats, hot flashes, and vaginal dryness, loss of xxx drive, memory loss, depression and sudden mood swings.
Menopause is often referred to as the change. It is often a difficult period for the sufferer as well as those around. Also, it can get depressing as weight gain is a possible outcome during menopause.
Here are some of the alternative herbal remedies for menopause:-
-Ginseng: this is the most popular herb used by women who are experiencing menopause. Although there are many types of ginseng – e.g. white and red, Siberian, American etc. they are all used for increasing/boosting the immune system functions and for relieving stress. The constant use of ginseng can help women improve their feeling of well-being. However, studies have shown that ginseng does not relieve hot flashes, which is a common occurrence with menopausal women.
-Valerian root: This herb has been used as a sedative but it is known to have side effects. The constant use of this herb has been known to cause heart problems and delirium!
-Black co-hose: this herb is only helpful for short periods, it is very effective for treating hot flashes and night sweats for up to six months (or less). This herb will no longer work after six months of use.
Before you try any of these herbal remedies, consult with your doctor. You have to make sure that the herbal remedies for menopause do not interact negatively with the other medications that you may be on. Also, you would need to ask your doctor or herbalist for the recommended dosages of herbal remedies for your specific case. What is useful is to know that hormone replacement therapy is not the one and only solution if you want to ease your menopausal symptoms. There are many herbal remedies out there that can help you alleviate your suffering!

Seven Advantages of Alternative Medicine
Jan 4th
There are so many advantages of alternative medicine over modern medicine, that I want to spend a few moments looking at possible reasons why these are kept so well hidden, at least from the public eye.
If you were to listen to the media of the so called ‘free’ (western) world, you could be forgiven in thinking that there is no scientific evidence for, let alone advantages of alternative medicine. You would be convinced that modern medicine was the way to go.
But, according to Reporters Without Borders (for press freedom), the so called ‘free’ world doesn’t have free press. Britain only rates 23rd, Australia ranks lower at 28th and America trails at a miserable 36th for the 2008 figures.
So can you believe all you read?
Reporters Without Borders say “It is not economic prosperity, but peace that guarantees press freedom.”
So economic prosperity actually makes us less free. How? Well, one example is if a prosperous company spends millions of dollars advertising in say, a newspaper, the editors are going to be very reluctant to print anything controversial about said company.
Next time you open your newspaper or switch on a radio or TV channel with advertising, check out the biggest advertisers.
That may give you some idea why alternative medicine is not as popular as one would expect from the documented results.
There’s a saying that all truth goes through three phases.
It is ridiculed.
It is violently opposed.
It is accepted as being self evident.
Judging by the media publications in 2008 at least in some parts of Europe, I think the west has now advanced to stage two!
So lets look at some of the advantages of alternative medicine. As my expertise lies with homoeopathy, I’m going to be focussing on this, but some of the reasons will apply to other alternative therapies too.
- There are no side effects. This is because alternative medicine works WITH the body, not in suppressing symptoms, as modern medicine does.
- Medicines are cost effective. This means they are generally affordable by even the most financially compromised families.
- Alternative medicines are generally ‘green’. By that I mean that they use natural substances processed simply. No high tech manufacturing processes which use hazardous and polluting chemicals or carbon polluting energy.
- Substances or ingredients of ‘complexes’ are readily available, so you can even grow some of your own medicines, allowing you to keep control of the whole process. No secrecy or patents here!
- Alternative medicines don’t just heal ailments. In the process, they allow for growth. In homoeopathy we see children putting on a growth spurt after they recover from a naturally treated disease. This doesn’t happen with a medically treated disease. Rather, it appears to hold the child back.
- Alternative medicine recognises the true nature of disease and sickness. That it is necessary for a growing child to experience as only this experience allows the immune system to develop into a healthy one by adulthood. It’s a bit like learning to ride a bicycle. You need to practice before you can ride properly.
- Alternative medicine recognises that physical symptoms only develop when you ignore the mental and emotional signs and symptoms. Which allows you the freedom to deal with these problems as they arise, and so never develop physical symptoms.
When you can fully grasp the advantages of alternative medicine, it truly blows your socks off. No longer are you kept in a state of fear by what might happen. Instead, you know your healthy immune system will work well for you, and that when it struggles, you will know.
No more scare mongering of impending pandemics for you! Because you are now in control of your life and your health, and as you are fully aware of the advantages of alternative medicine, you can be at peace with the world.
The 2 Best Alternative Home Energy Solutions For Your Home Revealed
Jan 4th
It’s fair to assume that most of us are getting tired of paying high fuel costs and no doubt, this would apply to you also. It’s for this reason why many of us each and every day, scour the internet for ideas on alternative, renewable sources of energy for our homes.
It’s far easier than many people would imagine yet so many people read about these opportunities but do nothing about them and continue paying highly inflated prices for their electricity.

Looking For an Alternative Health Magazine But Feel Confused by The Array?
Jan 4th
People in their droves are turning their backs on the manipulative medical and pharmaceutical markets and are starting to take control of their own health. It’s a turning point for the world. As you take control of your own health, so you influence the greater world.
With the booming of the natural and alternative health market, you could be forgiven for being confused. There seem to be so many modalities. Some do this, some do that. Some are hands on (and so could be worrying for the nervous), some are hands off.
There’s homeopathy, massage, naturopathy, kinesiology, herbalism, flower essences, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, Bowan therapy, chiropractic, hypnotherapy, the list is endless.
You may never have heard of many of them. And some of them cross over.
By subscribing to an alternative health magazine, even if it does specialise, will mean that you’ll get a better understanding of what that modality can do and if you are attracted to it.
Knowledge is power! You can’t make up your mind about where to go with your health care, without knowing something about the various options.
So what should you look for in an informative alternative health magazine? Apart from the modality speciality of the author, wider areas should also be discussed, such as diet. And the emerging truth about some of the risks with conventional medical tests and treatments.
With medicine and drugs dominating the western health care system for decades, you have never been given options to explore. They ruled with an iron hand.
Now things are changing. It’s a new century, a new age, a new awareness. People are demanding to know the truth. And to their right to choose.
When you’re looking for an alternative health magazine which specialises, check out it also covers other areas of natural health, such as diet. It should sometimes bring in experts to discuss various options and what to avoid.
I have heard that some doctors don’t believe diet has a direct impact on health. Don’t, for one moment, believe them! Diet is all important. For example, Westin A. Price (1870-1948), a Cleveland dentist looked for the causes of dental decay and physical degeneration that he observed in his dental practice. He went searching for people with fine teeth and good health. He found them the world over in isolated human groups, including villages in Switzerland, Gaelic communities in the Outer Hebrides, Eskimos and Indians of North America, and other remote locations.
A good alternative health magazine will explore some of the common areas of conventional health care, particularly the controversial ones, such as vaccination. And will often give their speciality slant on them.
Many alternative health magazines are free to subscribe to and appear regularly. Regular magazines are a good idea, as it helps to keep you on track. With the best will in the world, you’ll be influenced by the media, your family, friends and colleagues, who may not yet have started to explore their health rights and options.
When you’re new to exploring something, you’re in a vulnerable position and can be easily influenced. Stay true to your feelings and keep looking and learning!
Alternative Fuel: Water Powered Cars
Jan 4th
The world now is becoming worse in many aspects; the supply of crude oil is becoming less and the cost is on the rise. Carbon dioxide has a harmful effect on our bodies and has been, also linked to the warming of our atmosphere which is called the green house effect.
Alternative fuels also known as non-conventional fuels, are any materials or substances that can be used as a fuel and are not made from petroleum, these maybe the answer. They would seem to be a better solution to our problem with global warming. Water power cars are the latest craze in the automotive world. Thousands of people around the world, in America, Europe, Australia, Asia and Africa are converting their cars and trucks to save fuel with water.
Hydrogen fuel cell cars, water power cars, whatever you call them it all comes down to the same thing and that’s cheap clean fuel. Alternative fuels can help any nation become more energy independent. Water fuel cars will give our nation and many others the freedom to choose what they want. We could see a lower demand for fuel, which can lead to a drop in oil prices. Global fuel is rapidly reaching the highest consumption level ever and its price is increasing at an unbelievable rate.
Alternative fuels have the desirable energy efficiency and pollution reduction features. Water fueled vehicles are the way of the future and automakers need to seriously consider that fact. Alternative fuels are vying for a spot on the transportation highway as petroleum costs escalate, light oil reserves diminish, and environmental issues raise concerns. They are better for the environment and often better for the economy than fossil fuels. Water fuel cars maybe the right answer to these problems. Water powered cars are what many people have dreamed of for many years.
We as a nation need to consider what we are doing to our planet. Just think about what our world will be like in the next century or two, if we do not do something in the very near future. Our children, their grandchildren and so on would be living in a world with smog and air pollution so bad that they would not be able to go outside to play or at best would have to wear a mask to do so. We are polluting our planet and soon we will not have fresh water to drink and fresh air to breath. All of us not just our country, but the world needs to come up with a better solution to these problems. Learn how to run your vehicle from water and start doing your part for the environment.
Alternative Medicine Making Waves
Jan 3rd
As people across the globe start to research factors which contribute to their health, or lack of, the attributes of alternative medicine is causing its return in a big way.
People are returning to alternative medicine in their droves.
Finally, people are taking an interest in their own health. No longer is it acceptable to give your power to someone else. No-one else but you has the same interest in your health.
A health practitioner may have twenty four PhDs, but you’re the only person with a PhD in you. You’re the only person who knows your sensitivities. You’re the only person who knows how you react.
Thanks largely to the internet, people are now researching possible side effects of the medication they’ve been given. Then they return to their GP with this information, who often, had no idea of it.
That’s a worry in itself.
Now consider the time most alternative medicine practitioners give you. Instead of the six (ten if you’re lucky) minutes you have with your GP, you are given time to express yourself freely, you are listened to. You direct the consultation.
In almost all cases, you come out of the consultation feeling you have been heard, that someone has taken a deep interest in your troubles. That alone can go a long way to your improved health.
In addition, your health is being helped in a time honoured way, assisting your intelligent body to achieve what it knows is best for you.
Instead of suppressing the symptoms, which goes against what your body naturally desires, alternative medicine allows the full expression of these symptoms in a safe and healing environment.
Symptoms are signals that your body is struggling with something. Suppress them at your peril! They have a valuable message that you need to address.
For example, being able to sleep deeply, waking up refreshed, is a sign of good health. If you are unable to sleep without sleeping pills, you are, in effect, sitting on a time bomb. The reason for the insomnia is not being addressed. In fact the cause is becoming more entrenched.
The use of sleeping pills on occasion can be useful. But the daily or regular use is dangerous.
Once you are in control of your health, you feel empowered. Gone is the ease with which you could be manipulated through fear of potential risks. Now you know how to become healthy and to stay that way.
All alternative medicine modalities have their place, but my three favourites are:
- good food, natural diet
- homeopathy
- cranio osteopathy
Subscribing to an ezine in natural health can show you options you may not be aware of. There are always many ways of looking at any problem. Don’t limit yourself.
Look over the edges of the rut you may find yourself in. At first glimpse it may look overwhelming, but with each new look, you can start to see a better world for you.
Take control of your health today, so stopping others manipulating you for their own ends.
Alternative Dispute Resolution in Canada
Jan 3rd
Alternative Dispute Resolution is one of the best solutions in modern law. While the courts today are overcrowded and in many provinces the amount of cases like personal injuries just can’t be handled fast enough – alternative solution (through any other resolution than litigation) usually is the best solution. It is most often practiced in such areas of law as: commercial, construction, elections, employment, federal practice, insurance, international, labor and securities. In some areas 90% of the cases are solved throughout alternative resolutions. Alternative Dispute Resolution has lot of advantages compared to litigation, it is usually cheaper and more expeditious. Also it can be focused only on the solution of the problem and not on court procedures, so is it more effective for both sides. Usually the alternative resolution is proposed after the initial hearings stage. One of the biggest advantages of the Alternative Dispute Resolution is flexibility. Basically any conflict resolution within legal rules can be considered and alternative solution. Still there are five main types of Alternative Dispute Resolution: negotiation, mediation, collaborative law, hearing and arbitration.
Negotiation is a voluntary procedure with no third party that facilitates the resolution process or imposes a resolution. This type of Alternative Dispute Resolution is the easiest one for both of the sides, because everything can be solved between the parties with no additional people, still this solution is impossible in a large number of cases because the sides are not ready for negotiation (are having emotional problems during a divorce for example).
Mediation is procedure where a third party (a mediator) is facilitating the resolution process. While this party even the right to suggest a resolution, but does not impose a resolution on the parties.
Collaborative Law (collaborative divorce) is not quite an alternative resolution but rather a litigation variant, still it allows to solve the dispute without the active participation of the sides. In this type of resolution, each party has an attorney, which facilitates the resolution process within specifically contracted terms and mutually-agreed experts. No one imposes a resolution on the parties, however, the process is a formalized process that is part of the litigation and court system.
Hearing is a procedure that is less formal that trial. Mostly hearings are public with definite issues of fact or law to be tried, in which witnesses are heard and evidence is presented.
Arbitration is a procedure where participation is typically voluntary, and a third party (acting like a private judge) is present. The third party imposes a resolution during the process of arbitration. Mostly such type of resolutions occur because parties to contracts agree that any future dispute concerning the agreement will be resolved by arbitration. If such agreement was made it is usually called ‘Scott Avery Clause’. During the recent years the enforceability of arbitration clauses (in consumer agreements mostly) has drawn scrutiny from courts. Of course there is always a possibility to appeal arbitration outcomes to courts, but appeals will face an exacting standard of review.
