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.

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)

5 Helpful Tips to Getting Pregnant
Jan 7th
There are numerous couples out there who are very eager and ready to bear a child of their own. However, they seem to have run out of luck with such goal. There are no scientifically significant studies that the positioning and the timing of the coitus would matter and play a role in getting pregnant.
Bear in mind the ironic fact that the woman produces only one egg for an entire month cycle and the male produces millions of sperms as he ejaculates. But only one sperm gets to unite and survive the journey to bond with the egg.
However, these below are the few things you might want to consider if you are in need of help and advice to getting pregnant.
1.Eat Healthy. What you eat plays a major and vital role in the success rate of an individual and as a couple. Eating healthy would promote healthy and mature eggs (female) and healthy sperm (male). With this there is much higher percentage of the success rate for the egg and the sperm to unite.
Studies have shown that those individuals who have an unhealthy eating lifestyle, especially those that drink alcoholic drinks have abnormal sperms. They usually have two-headed sperm or sometime sperms that don’t have a tail. With this, there is certainly a decrease of success in reaching the egg. Women who also have an unhealthy eating lifestyle would likely alter the balance of their pH in their vagina making the sperm unable to reach the egg.
Hence, eating healthy will likely increase the chances of getting pregnant and producing a healthy baby as well.
2.Exercise Daily. With daily exercise it helps tone down and reduces cholesterol and fats in the body. This has been studied that women who are obese and who have apparently high BMI than normal have lesser chances to getting pregnant.
Daily exercise helps improve blood circulation. When there is increase and healthy blood circulating within the system, it provides distribution of the nutrients all over the body. It also helps keep the individual tone and healthy and not feel sluggish.
3.Avoid Stress. Stress not only increases the risk of cancer, but it can also alter the hormonal balance of the individual. When there is stress, there is sometimes an irregular delay of the woman of her menstruation, thus her fertile period. Sometimes, the egg produced would not be mature enough to unite with the sperm. If a woman is stressed and weary, there would be a decrease in the stimulation to unite with his husband. Hence, there is a decrease in the chance to have a baby.
4.Sleep Early. Sleeping early and having enough sleep helps energize the individual. When a person is energized he/she has the ability to stay fit and healthy and thus produce healthy eggs and sperm. When they do, they will have a higher chance of being successful in getting pregnant.
5.Enjoy and Know the Right Time. Bearing a child is not as easy as it seems especially if you and your husband has been trying to do it but seem to be unsuccessful. Relaxing and enjoying the moment usually helps. Think not of the goal that is to achieve a baby but instead think of it as a time of union between a husband and a wife in love. Knowing the right time helps as the woman has a period of fertility. This period is usually a marking point wherein the body actually helps to make the pregnancy successful.
If all these seem not to work, it would then be best to seek medical help as there may be a problem either toward the male or the female. Certain conditions such as low sperm count, abnormal sperms, and immature eggs may be the cause for the unsuccessful try to getting pregnant.

How to Buy HP Q6000A and HP Q6001A Toners Without Getting Ripped Off?
Jan 4th
Are you looking to buy an HP Q6000A Toner or HP Q6001A Toner but you don’t know any reputable online store that won’t rip you off? It’s a genuine concern as there are hundreds of online stores selling printer cartridges and it’s not easy to determine which one is really authentic. However, it’s not impossible to find out if a particular store selling toner cartridges online is a serious business or not.
The first and most important thing that you should look for is the street address on the website. You must be wondering why street address became so important all of a sudden. See, the beauty of internet is that anyone can now sell products or offer services online. The same way, it’s not that difficult to start selling cartridges from home.
A person might get a huge stock of toner cartridges from wholesale or directly from a factory. He can then create a website and start selling cartridges right from his home. The street address becomes important here because of privacy and security reasons as not everyone would want to show their home address on their website. Thus, if you find a website selling cartridges without mentioning a street address on the web site, exercise caution. Simply close the window and move on to another online store to buy your toner cartridge.
After you find the address on a website selling printer cartridges, if you think it’s very close to your place, why not pay them a visit. This way, you will be able to see their physical store as well and in the future you will be mentally satisfied that you are ordering your Q6000A and Q6001A Toner cartridges from Hewlett Packard, from a reputable store.
Buying toner cartridges from auction is not a good practice as there are chances that they will send you a used toner cartridge. The price of cartridges offered in an auction might seem really appealing, but they involve a greater risk than buying from an online store that you never knew about before.
So, browse the website thoroughly and make sure it has a street address mentioned on the site. If you can’t find it on the website, but the website looks really good to you, you may want to send them an email and ask them why the street address is not mentioned on their web site. Keep this security measure in mind and you will always buy your printer cartridges without getting ripped off.
Consumer Debt Settlement Advice – Pros And Cons of Getting a Debt Settlement
Jan 4th
When facing bankruptcy, most people prefer to negotiate with creditors and reach a settlement of their debts. But this can have both positive and negative effects on your financial health. Although an attractive option, debt settlement has its own set of pros and cons.
The most attractive and important result of opting for debt settlement is that the payable amount is reduced by almost 40% to 60%. Financial institutions give debtors this option because they get a lump sum amount. One payment will end the stress associated with collection calls. Moreover, if you negotiate well the creditors may also waive off the interest amount on the total debt amount. They may also waive off the penalties and late payment charges. Creditors may also allow him or her to pay the reduced amount in easy monthly installments. The creditors are very accommodating to the debtors nowadays. This is because they understand that if the debtor files for bankruptcy, they will not get any money. They also give remarks which help in rebuilding a debtor’s credit scores.
On the other hand there are a few cons associated with debt settlement. For instance, there may be trouble if a loan is a secured one and the debtor has pledged any assets as security for the loan. The creditors can file a law suit against the debtor and reclaim their money by attaching his or her assets. IF this happens it will affect your credit scores negatively. If in the future you apply for a loan, it may be rejected. Hence, one should weigh the pros and cons well before opting for debt settlement.
If you want to get out of debt and hire a debt settlement company for debt negotiation then I have an important piece of advice. Do not go directly to a particular debt settlement company but rather first go to a debt relief network who is affiliated with several legitimate debt companies. In order to be in the debt relief network, the debt settlement companies must prove a track record of successfully negotiating and eliminating debt. They must also pass an ethical standards test. Going through a debt relief network will ensure that the debt company you are provided with is a legitimate and respected company. This is the most efficient way in finding the best debt settlement companies and increasing your chances of eliminating your debt.

Law Of Attraction Tip: Getting Through Dry Spells
Jan 4th
Ever have one of those weeks (or months) when your creativity seems to have completely dried up? When this happens it’s a sign from your inner being that it’s time to take a break.
Our human minds and bodies are capable of processing millions if not billions of bits of data every day. And usually we do that quite efficiently, going about our lives without a hitch. But sometimes, especially when we’ve been focusing on something for a while, we get information overload and part of our systems shut down. This isn’t a bad thing – it’s a protective mechanism that enables us to keep doing the things we need to do to stay alive while the rest of us takes a much needed rest.
Another thing that happens when we hyper-focus is that we tend to get stale after a while. The same information keeps spinning around in our heads; nothing new is getting in and the old stuff isn’t making sense any more. It’s kind of like cramming for an exam. You know it’s time to give up when the words blur on the page and you can’t add 2+2 to save your life.
The best cure for a dry spell is to take a break. By “break” I don’t mean an afternoon with a friend discussing your dry spell 
I mean a real, bona-fide break where you get your mind and body completely off of the subject. It may mean getting lost in a good novel, spending the afternoon watching movies, turning off the computer for a couple days, locking the door to your studio, taking on an assignment at work that has nothing to do with your regular job. Or it can mean getting out of Dodge…going on a retreat, taking a vacation, doing a job exchange, or something similar to completely change the scenery for a little while.
The important thing is to give yourself some down time where you disengage your mind from your ordinary routine and engage it in something fun and interesting that stimulates you. Then when you’re ready to go back to your project you’ll find that the dry spell has all but vanished.
Why Defensive Driving Class is Getting Popular With The Texans?
Jan 3rd
Millions of automobile accidents occur in the United States and that can be due to many reasons. However, one of the best ways to avoid road accidents is through defensive driving. Defensive driving can be defined as the practice of driving safely so as not to cause harm to the driver and to the people around in spite of others driving provocatively. It is a form of training for drivers of motor vehicle and is something more than mastering the rules of driving and road safety. It aims at reducing risky driving by predicting dangerous situations, in spite of unpleasant conditions. Safety of the driver and that of others can be achieved by adhering to the general rules of driving besides some specific driving methods.
In the United States several private schools, nonprofit organizations and government agencies have launched training courses in safe driving specifically to improve the driving skills of the people.
Today people in Texas take defensive driving course not when they have been ordered by the judge to a traffic school but voluntarily as a preventive measure. A Texas defensive drivingschool gives an insight into predicting and reacting better to mistakes which other drivers make.
In Texas, defensive driving schools help learners learn the tricks and tips which professionals use which keep them away from the doctor. Some courses include a read-long feature – an optional feature where the page containing words and phrases of defensive driving are read aloud. Moreover videos, interactive features and animations are also included which helps in engaging the learner.
Several Texas defensive driving schools have an option of taking the course online or in a classroom. Online courses can be learnt within the comforts of the learners’ home and can be learnt taking one’s own time. In a classroom course the whole course can be taken at once and usually lasts for about 6 hours. Moreover, in a classroom course there is an advantage of discussions and the learner can ask questions. However, in an online course this facility of interacting with one another is not available.
As per the law in Texas, a certificate in defensive driving helps drivers to reduce insurance rates besides dismissing traffic tickets. Some of these defensive driving courses are approved by the government and several insurance companies. Some insurance companies offer up to 10% discount to a driver who has completed a defensive driving course.
With the increasing vehicular traffic each day, it has become necessary to have a certificate in defensive driving. You can take these defensive driving classes in Texas through online.

What to Expect If Your Dog is Getting Mange Treatment
Jan 3rd
Dog mange is a treatable disorder, and one that has many treatment options available for the dog, depending on the severity and the variety of the mange infestation. The most common mange treatment is the anti-mange wash.
This is a procedure that will take time to be effective, sometimes as long as six months, because the treatment can only be done once a month. The repeated treatments are done to make sure that the mange population is kept in check and that new ones that are hatched will also be eliminated.
On the first few treatments, the mange will look like it is getting worse, and there will be new red bumps on the dog’s skin where there weren’t any before. That’s because the medicine will penetrate the skin of the dog to reach the mites buried beneath the dog’s skin, and this will irritate the area. It will also be very uncomfortable for the dog as these mites start “emerging” from their burrows.
You should also expect that the dog will seem lethargic after each treatment. The mange bath medication can be quite strong and the dog will be inhaling it during the treatment sessions. You will also have to bear with the smell of the medication because you can’t give your dog a bath after the mange wash.
Try to prevent the dog from licking at his chops after the treatment. Some of the mange wash medication will be ingested by the dog that way. Though it will not kill your dog, it will definitely give him a stomach upset. Also, keep him from scratching because this may cause wounds. If your dog has wounds, he will not be given the treatment wash, and this will prolong the process of him getting better.
Remember that the mange washes will only get rid of the mites that are on the dog and not his surroundings. That’s why you should isolate the dog and wash the beddings that he has used. Other dogs can catch it by just coming in contact with something that and infected dog has lain in. Worse, there are some types of mites that can live in a human’s skin as well.
The treatments can get quite expensive, but if your dog needs a series of baths, you may be able to work out a payment plan with your vet.
