Answer by I Love Richard KHC
I don’t know if this is the kind of heroin that you are asking about but they are very similar drugs. My brother is addicted to Oxycottins not sure if that’s how you spell it. It’s called Hillbilly Heroin, and it gives basically the same effects, he snorts them but Heroin of course you shoot that into a vein. Look for spoons with a burnt back, needles of course and His mood. They will get very moody, and they doze off a lot if they are on it. When they are coming off of it they can get violent and very sick, puking, diarrhea, stomach pains, sweating. They will never have money because that’s all they spend their money on. My brother has pawned everything he owns that is pawnable. He has stolen from me, my parents, my uncle and he has robbed people. He is now starting to get clean only because he is dealing with court issues and if he doesn’t want to go to jail he has to straiten up now. He is about to be put on probation for 19 months and if he does the drug he will go to jail. This is what the life of a junkie is like. If you ask them about they will lie, they become very good liars only you never believe them because they have lied so much that you don’t believe anything that comes out of their mouth and they will screw over anyone that gives them the chance to. My grandma used to have pity on my brother and believe his lies, she would give him the money he asked for so he could go get his drugs, then she wised up. No one gives him money anymore. If he needs something they might buy it for him but never give him money or anything that he can pawn. Like at Christmas time, he get clothes because he can’t pawn Clothes.

When getting sick from binge drinking and smoking, how long does it last and what are the effects?
Aug 30th
Question by Rascal: When getting sick from binge drinking and smoking, how long does it last and what are the effects?
For someone who has been social binge drinking and smoking cigarettes every friday and saturday night (5 drinks or more per Fri/Sat night) for about 4 years, what can be the effects?
I was living this lifestyle and i have been feeling unwell for nearly 3 months. I have been going through feelings of lightheadedness, dullness, drowsiness, lowsyness, fatigue, muscle weakness & anxiety. I feel as if im high & “not part of this world”…
First thing i got was an ear infection, followed by chronic gastritis/stomach ulcers, then my right vestibular nerve was found to be weak.
I have seen a few doctors and specialists and they have informed me that most things are all normal. All blood tests showed normal results. The only thing abnormal was my liver ALT *83 and ferritin *395 which is slowly decreasing.
I have stopped alcohol & cigarettes completely ever since i was unwell. Is it possible to be having some withdrawal symptoms even if i wasn’t addicted to drinking or smoking?
I’ve seen a Neurologist and an ENT surgeon who say everything is fine.
I guess what i’d like to find out if the way i was living my life before has caused me to feel ill?
If anyone has gone through this, how long did these feelings last?
I keep thinking that something else triggered this like a virus or something, but my lifestyle before makes me think that these are the consequences of my actions.
By the way, i was only a social smoker not an everyday smoker.

Answer by minx
Sure, I know plenty of people who’ve done exactly the same thing. They’re still alive and kicking because they are now taking good care of their bodies. That’s all you need to do buddy. You’re just run down and tired and obviously not nourishing your body properly. When you get stuck in one of those partying/bingeing modes you tend to not eat or sleep properly and just focus on partying and drinking/smoking. Well now that you’ve cleaned up your act you also need to remember to feed and nourish your body, that’s why you keep coming down with all sorts of ailments.
First up – are you drinking plenty of fresh clean vital water?? You need to at least be drinking 8 – 10 glasses of water per day. If you’re drinking coffee/tea/soft drinks/sodas you need to replace coffees and teas with x 2 the amount of water just to get back to ground zero !! As far as sodas and soft drinks go for each can you drink you have to replace 8 – 12 glasses of water that the sodas cause your body to lose, very dehydrating !! You would be totally amazed at the different mind set you will have just by being properly hydrated !!
It also sounds like you have a Vitamin B12 deficiency. Symptoms of deficiency in this vitamin are irritability inability to concentrate, moodiness, dizziness, depression, chest pains, heart palpitations, head and hand sweats, headaches, migraines, fatigue and exhaustion, oily skin and impaired balance !! Sound familiar??
Well, have you been under added stress lately? Most likely by the sounds of it. In stressfull situations we need to increase our intake of the B vitamins complex.
Wow, you poor guy, how have you managed for the last 3 months and feeling so ill?? All you need to do is to go the chemist and ask the pharmacist to advise you on which brand of the multi B complex of vitamins (ie: containing all the B vitamins) would be a good quality brand to buy. Avoid synthetic vitamins as they are really hard to digest. If you take this excellent advice, which is the best you will get!! No, seriously I definitely know what I’m talking about here. You will get relief from most of your symptoms within 24 hours !! Your body is obviously dehydrated – lightheadness, drowsiness and screaming out for water and food – fatigue, sore and tired muscles, stress, etc.etc.etc.
You also need to increase your intake of foods rich in this vitamin ie: yeast, liver, eggs, milk, cheese and fish, kidney and pork.
Recommended daily intake for adults is 2mcg. For B12 to be properly assimilated through the stomach it is necessary to be combined with calcium during absorption to adequately benefit the body.
In the human diet B12 is supplied primarily by animal products, since plant products usually don’t contain it.
B12 vitamins will alleviate any chest pains or heart palpitations you may be having?? it will also increase your energy levels, maintain a healthy nervous system, relieve moodiness and irritability, ease depression, fatigue and exhaustion and improve concentration, memory and balance.
Therefore, you’re surely deficient in B2 (Riboflavin) as well. Do you also have sore lips, mouth and tongue, cracked and splitting skin around your fingernails and grainy and sandy feeling eyes? If so, this is also a vitamin B deficiency, vitamin B2 (Riboflavin). This vitamin will be included in the Multi B complex supplement that you buy. There’s nothing mysterious about multi B complex tablets either, just in case you were wondering. They’re simply vitamins, and no they’ve not got chemicals/toxins or anything addictive in them just life enhancing vitamins. Well, in your case mate, life saving vitamins !! I’m truly so glad that you decided to come on line and ask us if anyone could help you. There really are so many wackos out there, you just got lucky though cos I’m a mother of 3 with a workaholic husband and I’m very experienced in most areas of health and nutrition. Plus I’m in the process of studying to be a naturopath, lucky you…. hehehe…… :0)
Sorry, I digress, just trying to reassure you. It appears that no Doctor has so far been able to help you so far, believe me I’ve had my fair share of quacks too !!
The recommended daily intake for B2 is 1.2 – 1.7mg.
Foods rich in B2 are milk, liver, kidney, cheese, leafy, green vegies, fish, eggs, yoghurt and beans.
If you are a vegetarian and have excluded eggs and dairy products from your diet, then you need B12 supplementation. Heavy protein consumers also need extra amounts of this vitamin. B12 and B2 work synergistically with all the other B vitamins, hence my advice to get yourself a B complex vitamin supplement.
Please treat your body nicely, you’re the only one who has to live there, at least make it comfortable !! Try focusing on fresh fruits and vegies, wholegrain breads and cereals, seeds and nuts, cut back on dairy, eat lean meats and fish and poultry and eliminate SUGAR because it has no nutritional purpose and will only hinder your recovery anyway.
Good Luck, please let me know how you go………… :0)
**************
P.S. Any damage you may have caused to your lungs, kidneys, vital organs is obviously minimal otherwise the specialists you have seen would certainly have told you about it. Also, whether you think you were addicted to alcohol and cigarettes or not isn’t the issue. Wot is the issue is that you will also have been detoxing the past three months and so all those yummy little chemicals/toxins that were in your system have all been racing out together !! Dont fret, things will start to get better from now on in. So long as you take ALL my advice …………….. :0)
PEACE & LIGHT

How to Minimize Psoriatic Arthritis Effects on The Body
Jan 10th
When it comes to minimizing the effects of psoriatic arthritis on the body, it is important to visualize the two contributing conditions as unique problems. Psoriasis is far different from arthritis, even though the two conditions fall under the tent of a psoriatic arthritis diagnosis.
Keeping Psoriasis at Bay
The most effect way of minimizing psoriasis outbreaks is to take care of the skin. This includes treating the body well from the inside in order to optimize the skin’s ability to protect itself. Patients need to maintain a healthy diet that is rich in essential fatty acids which work to improve overall body health and decrease the inflammation associated with both psoriasis and arthritis.
Triggers are also an important part of keeping skin flare-ups at bay. Triggers can include medications, alcohol consumption, smoking and stress. Quitting drinking and smoking will go a long way toward keeping skin effects at bay and may also help improve joint health. Keeping a journal of any medications that cause a skin flare-up is also important. If a doctor tries to prescribe the same medication again, you can advise him or her of the previous affects on the skin and a new medication can be chosen.
Physical care of the skin is also important. Moisturizers can be used to keep skin from drying out and developing itchy spots. In addition to applying moisturizes directly to the skin, an internal moisturizer can also help. Many people do not consume enough water which can leave the skin dry. Increasing water intake is an easy way to moisturize the skin naturally.
Keeping Arthritis at Bay
Some of the same life changes made to keep psoriasis flare-ups from occurring will positively affect joint health. But, there are some specific changes that can directly affect arthritis. The most important is the addition of exercise and reduction of weight.
The joints are protected by sheaths of natural cushioning that stop the bones from rubbing together. These cushions deteriorate, over time, when arthritis affects the joints. Additional weight will increase the deterioration dramatically. Exercise can help to reduce weight and inflammation associated with arthritis. In addition, the healthy dietary changes made to treat psoriasis can also be adjusted to reduce caloric intake and thus reduce weight. Increasing water intake and essential fatty acids will also positively affect joint health. These are both good choices for psoriasis treatment as well.
Exercise is also an important step in reducing inflammation. Even if the patient is not overweight exercise is important. While the joints may be a bit tender at first, movement will distribute the built up fluid and the swelling will go down. It is important to take your time when starting a new exercise program to minimize the muscle pain associated.
There are some treatments and prevention tactics that will help both psoriasis and arthritis. These changes will have the greatest impact on psoriatic arthritis as a whole. But, it is also important to make changes that will affect each branch of the condition as well. Treating the parts can often result in a reduction of symptoms as a whole
Human Growth Hormone Effects
Jan 6th
There are both positive and negative human growth hormone effects on the body. If you’re considering taking an HGH supplement to enhance your life or your doctor has recommended Human Growth Hormone to treat an illness or serious disorder, you should learn as much as you can about its effectiveness and various side effects.
Human Growth Hormone Effects on Children :
Human Growth Hormone, or HGH, has been approved for treating several serious medical problems in children. For this kind of treatment, injectable HGH is used under the strict supervision of a doctor or team of physicians who are familiar with the way HGH works and who will be able to closely monitor the child’s progress.
HGH is often used to treat two different genetic disorders found in children. Girls sometimes have a missing chromosome that causes Turner Syndrome, while boys sometimes suffer from a genetic disorder called Prader-Willi syndrome. Both of these result in a number of health problems. Girls with Turner Syndrome are often very small in stature and have other developmental issues, while boys with Prader-Willi Syndrome are obese with poor muscle mass and almost no hormone production.
Human Growth Effects on children with Prader-Willi include weight loss, increased muscle mass and stabilized blood sugar levels, all of which contribute to a healthier body and improved self-image. The effects of Human Growth Hormone on children with Turner Syndrome include increased height, which is usually the most obvious effect. Girls with Turner Syndrome never go through puberty and tend to be very small in stature, and HGH will help them achieve a relatively normal adult height. HGH is often used in conjunction with other hormone therapies, including estrogen, to normalize development.
Human Growth Hormone Effects on Athletes :
The effects of HGH on athletes vary widely due to the tendency of some serious athletes to abuse HGH. Using it in moderation to enhance lean muscle mass development, rev up the metabolism and improve stamina usually results in positive effects that can help athletes in their quest to maximize the results of their diet and exercise regimens.
Problems occur when athletes abuse HGH in the same way they abuse anabolic steroids. Overuse can lead to liver damage, joint pain, insulin resistance and fluid retention, all of which actually have a harmful effect on an athlete’s physical condition. The use of oral HGH supplements instead of injectable HGH is one way to avoid potential side effects. HGH supplements increase the human body’s own production of HGH, a more natural effect that can improve metabolism and enhance the immune system. Taking oral HGH as a tablet or mouth spray is a reasonable compromise for athletes who are aware that moderation is essential to getting the best Human Growth Hormone effects.
Effects of HGH on Aging :
There are millions of people around the world who use HGH supplements as a way to slow the aging process and improve their health. These individuals are taking HGH supplements so that they can garner the best Human Growth Hormone effects in a safe and effective way that doesn’t cost a fortune and will cause minimal, if any, side effects.
The most common Human Growth Hormone effects that people over thirty experience, particularly when they are taking HGH for the health benefits, include an increased metabolism, more lean muscle mass, improved cholesterol and blood sugar levels, less joint pain and increased cell renewal. Many also report improved sleep, an increased libido and better resistance to common illnesses such as colds.
If you’re looking into Human Growth Hormone effects to decide if it is right for you, talk to your doctor about your options. Explain that you’re interested in taking oral HGH in moderation, and he or she should be willing to monitor your own health as you try this revolutionary health supplement.
Adverse Effects Of Cosmetics
Jan 5th
However, you’re not doing yourself any favours by rushing off to buy some cosmetics that seem to do a quick job for you.
It is not good when you have drunk alcohol above the legal prescribed limit but decide to drive after that. Similarly, drivers should also know that the use of handphones is not safe for driving.
Reports of the dangerous effects of benzophenone, homosalate and octyl-methoxycinnamate that some sunscreens use caused many consumers to return to the old-school products containing titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.
There are several thousand different chemical agents that are routinely used in the development of cosmetics, which play the role of antibacterial agents, aroma producers, and preservatives.
They attempt to expose as many of the risks of dangerous cosmetics as possible, to try and force our government to regulate the industry and the companies to produce safe cosmetics. And they run a Compact for Safe Cosmetics. Cosmetic companies that are prepared to dedicate themselves to produce only safe cosmetics.
The quantities found in cosmetics are not sufficient to present those risks. Using eye makeup that contains mercury is unlikely to cause immediate health problems, but still, mercury accumulates in the body.
Is it possible then that your seemingly harmless deodorant that contains parabens is doing more than just controlling underarm wetness and odor? What are the chances that the parabens have somehow accumulated to a significant amount through constant repetitive.
Ingredients found in a good quality mineral makeup kit will not block pores and can actually have a beneficial effect on the skin.
So, while the base you use everyday is only placed on your face, if it has harmful chemicals in it, those chemicals can wind up directly in your bloodstream! Another danger issue with cosmetics is that they are not controlled well.
However, this is not actually the case with hypoallergenic products. Medically the term hypoallergenic has no meaning.
You can identify PVC on containers by examining the recycling triangle that appears on the bottom of most containers.
There are plenty of not so well known companies out there that are producing high quality all natural formulas. These safe, healthy creams and lotions are what you need for your skin.
As far as cosmetics go it is estimated that we are applying up to nine different products daily to our body starting with soap, shampoo, conditioner, moisturizer, makeup, deodorant, hair gel, hairspray, fragrance and sunscreen.
Triclosan is used many skin care products. There is strong evidence that it may contribute to creating strains of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics.
Many companies, even some of the big brand names, now offer safer, more natural products. Natural vitamin E is an effective preservative, just as effective as a paraben.
However, becoming a real successful business person in this industry takes great sales skills. You should instead shorten that learning curve by investing in good online marketing courses.
It’s likely that fabric softeners and dryer sheets aren’t the only toxic products in your home. Many household products that consumers regard as safe are also full of toxic chemicals.
Chantix Side Effects: A Revolutionary Quit Smoking Drug
Jan 4th
Chantix, a prescription smoking cessation drug has shown enormous potential to help smokers quit smoking. As the medical profession becomes more aware of the adverse side effects of smoking, drugs like Chantix are becoming more and more common. As with any prescription medication, possible Chantix side effects should be noted and watched for. The drug is available for use by almost anyone, although Chantix and women who take it may be a particular concern.
There are some common, easily manageable side effects. Many of these are little more than annoyances. Things like mild nausea, sleeplessness, constipation, gas, and loss of taste, headaches and increased appetite are aggravating possible. There are other, more serious side effects that may occur. These include General Sleeping Disorders and respiratory problems as well as allergic reactions. These may include hives and swelling of the face. If any of the serious Chantix side effects are noted, medical help should be sought.
Chantix and women is a different matter entirely. This medication should be avoided by pregnant or breast feeding women as well as women who may become pregnant. This is to avoid complications in pregnancy as well as an increased risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should avoid taking Chantix as the possible side effects and risk to the unborn fetus is very high.
While Chantix does have the possibility of causing some serious side effects, as a rule, most people are able to take this new drug with little negative effects. This is especially true in the case of Chantix and women. Chantix does, on the other hand, offer significantly improved chances at quitting smoking for good. By quitting smoking, it is possible to avoid some serious and life threatening disorders. Weighing the benefits of this drug against possible Chantix side effects is an excellent way to determine if it is an appropriate drug for you.
