Chips and fries were made in chemical grease called “hydrogenated vegetable (or other) oil cheap oxytrol 5mg without a prescription. Add salt to the butter while you’re boiling it; this raises the tem- perature of boiling so the hardy bacteria discount oxytrol 5mg amex, Rhizobium legumi- nosarum discount 5mg oxytrol fast delivery, are killed. Even the annatto seed (a natural colorant) varieties tested positive on the Syncrometer to tartrazine (a yellow food dye), and scarlet red dye (a red food azo dye)! Other animals are as parasitized as we, full of flukes and worms and schistosomes in every imaginable stage, and since the blood carries many of these, would we not be eating these live parasites if we eat these animals in the raw state? It must be at cooking temperature (212°F or 100°C) for 20 minutes af- ter salt has been added. Canned meats are safe from living parasites, but are not recommended due to added chemicals. Of course, you are protecting yourself with a parasite killing maintenance program. Beverages Drink 6 kinds of beverages: • milk • malonate-free fruit juices • water • malonate-free vegetable juices • herb teas • homemade (see Recipes) This means getting off caffeine. And if you are already fa- tigued, this means you might be even more fatigued for a short time. Headache medicine, like all medicine, is likely to have benzene pollution from the colorant used; avoid it. For energy, to replace caffeine, take one arginine (500 mg) upon rising in the morning and before lunch. It is inadvisable to drink any form of alcohol at least until you are fully recovered (two years). This is why black walnut hull tincture, which is 20-50% grain alcohol, is taken in a lukewarm beverage (to evaporate some of the alcohol) and followed by a dose of niacinamide. Milk: 2%, in plastic container (paper containers tested positive to dioxane, which is a well studied carcinogen). If you do not drink milk because it gives you more mucous, switch to a dif- ferent kind. If you have other reactions, like diarrhea, try milk digestant tablets (available at health food stores). Milk is too valuable to avoid: there are many unwanted chemicals in most brands of milk, but it is solvent-free and very nutritious. The only exception should be for serious symptoms, like colitis, bloating, flu, or chronic diarrhea. Milk goes sour after the expiration date on the carton even when refrigerated and unopened. Boil milk for 10 seconds with a pinch of salt to kill Salmo- nellas and Shigellas. It will also kill the tumor causing bacteria 43 species, Clostridium and Rhizobium. If your taste buds de- tect this or you are afraid the milk might curdle, add baking soda first (again 1/8 tsp. If you are making yogurt, buttermilk or cottage cheese, you do not need baking soda. Many people prefer the 43 It only kills the Clostridium and Rhizobium varieties if salt is added when boiling because salt raises the boiling point. And many people can tolerate dairy products for the first time after making this change. I have preliminary evidence that tapeworm stages make malonic acid and killing these by boiling does nothing about the malonate already present. If you simply cannot tolerate dairy products, try making cottage cheese (see Recipes). Vegetable matter, although high in calcium, does not give you available calcium either. Eating fish can give you a lot of calcium, but it is in the tiny bones hidden in the fish. Goats’ milk is better for you than cows’ milk because it has beneficial factors in it that are similar to shark cartilage and speeds up your abil- ity to make amino acids. But cheese varieties are too difficult to sterilize; avoid un- baked cheese completely. Drink one pint upon rising in the morning, the other pint in the afternoon sometime. The cold water faucet may be bringing you cadmium, copper or lead, but it is safer than purchased water, which usu- ally has solvents in it. An inexpensive car- bon filter that is re- placed every month may improve your tap water, though. Never buy fil- ters with silver or other chemicals, even if they are “just added to the carbon. If only tea bags are available, cut them open and dump out the 44 Even reverse osmosis water is polluted with thulium and ytterbium which must be coming from the filtration membrane. Honey obtained from the bulk tank in a health food store never had sol- vent pollution when I tested it. Tea blends are mixtures of herb teas; these have solvents in them from the extracts used to improve flavor!

Dependence can also emerge proven oxytrol 5mg, with a with- drawal syndrome similar to those of alcohol and barbiturates purchase oxytrol 2.5 mg online. Small studies have found that women who use benzodiazepines during pregnancy produce infants who are smaller than normal cheap oxytrol 5 mg mastercard. Sim- ilar findings in another small study33 included mental retardation, but still another study34 noted that such children also had heavy fetal exposure to alcohol, exposure that is known to produce mental retardation. Research track- ing children up to four years of age found that early problems attributed to benzodiazepines cleared up in most of them. Some investigators believe they have detected a particular birth defect pattern, but such findings have been questioned. It passes into breast milk, but the amount from lower-dosage levels probably has no effect on nursing infants. For information about specific benzodiazepine class depressants, see alpha- betical listings for: alprazolam, chlordiazepoxide, clonazepam, clorazepate, diazepam, estazolam, flunitrazepam, flurazepam, halazepam, lorazepam, midazolam, oxazepam, prazepam, quazepam, temazepam, and triazolam. At one time the term narcotic referred specifically and only to opiates, but when drug con- trol laws were strengthened in the early twentieth century the language of Drug Types 23 those laws expanded the dictionary definition of narcotic and made it a syn- onym for all controlled drugs. Although opiates have various medical uses, the main therapeutic appli- cation is pain control. Some other therapeutic uses of specific opiates are given in this book’s alphabetical listings of drugs. Very few persons receiving medical opiates find them attractive, and almost all patients who enjoy opiates already have a drug abuse problem. Researchers examined records of 11,882 patients who received narcotics and found 4 with a subsequent addiction problem who lacked a prior drug addiction history. Illicit users of opiates generally seek to achieve a mental state of indifference in which problems and frustrations no longer feel bothersome. Classic unwanted actions from opiates are constipation, urinary difficulty, low blood pressure, and breathing trouble. In contrast to such problems, a desir- able drug interaction is that opiates may boost pain relief from aspirin. Originally the phrase “being hooked on a drug” referred to being so reso- nant with (that is, dependent on) an opiate that a withdrawal syndrome oc- curred if dosage stopped. Symptoms of opiate withdrawal are similar to those of influenza: sweats, goose bumps, muscle aches, cramps, runny nose, diar- rhea, and sleep difficulties. Although conscienceless and irresponsible addicts may be particularly short-tempered and dangerous if undergoing withdrawal, for other persons the experience is miserable, but not horrible, and usually lasts only a few days. Traditionally those few days are the extent of with- drawal, but some authorities believe a subsequent stage of withdrawal occurs in which a person experiences aches, insomnia, and grouchiness for several months. Such symptoms, however, may simply be signs that the psychological buffer provided by opiate use is no longer available. Drug addiction “maintenance” programs are designed to supply enough drug to hold off withdrawal but not enough to produce recreational sensa- tions. Unless participants supplement the legal dosage with illicit supplies, such persons will not experience opiate effects enjoyed by addicts. Someone on a maintenance dose can adequately perform job duties and safely operate a motor vehicle. Performance may not be as sharp as in a drug-free state, but performance is in the normal range. If a pregnant woman uses opiates regularly the fetus soon adapts to the presence of the drug and seems to develop normally, although an infant can be born resonant with (that is, dependent on) the drug and undergo withdrawal. Intermittent use of opi- ates is more damaging to a fetus than regular use, with the changing drug environment causing extra stress as a fetus copes with one condition and then another. Opiates cause fetal metabolism to increase, diverting energy away from body development. Infants born to opiate users are commonly smaller 24 The Encyclopedia of Addictive Drugs than normal, and early slowness of brain development has been observed. Evidence exists that fetal exposure causes long-lasting problems in children, involving impulsiveness and inattention, but some researchers feel that home environment (often involving a single-parent opiate abuser with additional problems) is a better explanation for those difficulties. For information about specific opiate class depressants, see alphabetical list- ings for: buprenorphine, codeine, dihydrocodeine, etorphine, heroin, hy- drocodone, hydromorphone, morphine, nalbuphine, opium, oxycodone, pholcodine, and thebaine. Opioid Class Opioids are often called opiates, which is satisfactory for practical purposes because the two classes of drugs basically produce the same effects in the same way. If the history of a product were traced backward through its manufacturing processes, opiates generally would begin with the opium plant, but opioids would generally begin in a laboratory. Despite this technical distinction, the terms opiates and opioids are often used synonymously. Some of these sub- stances are called “semisynthetic” and are referred to as “opiate/opioid. Anabolic substances build up parts of living organisms, as opposed to catabolic substances, which decompose those parts. Anabolic steroids are abused mainly by persons desiring to increase muscle mass, such as compet- itive athletes and body builders. Steroids can improve muscle strength in fe- males and in castrated males, but scientific evidence is weaker for intact males. Still, steroids do seem to promote muscle mass, endurance, and overall athletic performance while dosage continues. Some scientists suspect that any perfor- mance enhancement experienced from anabolic steroids comes not from mus- cle power but from psychological effects, with the drugs increasing a user’s aggressiveness. Anabolic steroids can produce mania, anger, impulsiveness, euphoria, and feelings of invincibility—a combination that may lead some users into harmful social interactions. The combination can produce other types of unwise behavior as well, such as extravagant expenditures of money and taking reckless physical risks. Reports exist of paranoia and hallucinations developing while using steroids and disappearing when steroid usage is stopped.

But few of our physicians neglect its administration in these cases discount oxytrol 5 mg fast delivery, and they are unitedly profuse in their praises of its influence order 5 mg oxytrol amex. If there be an infection of the local glands of the neck cheap oxytrol 5mg, from the throat disease, the agent should be applied externally, as well as administered internally. In the treatment of goitre there is a consensus of opinion concerning the value of this remedy, but it is almost universally administered in these Ellingwood’s American Materia Medica, Therapeutics and Pharmacognosy - Page 334 cases, with other more direct remedies. Stevens is enthusiastic in his opinion that adenitis needs no other remedy than phytolacca americana. Whatever the cause of the disease or of however long standing, he saturates the system with this remedy, and persists in it, applies it externally and claims to cure his cases. Too much cannot be said of its very positive and invariable influence in the treatment of acute inflammations of the breast during or preceding lactation. It should be given every two hours at least in doses of perhaps ten drops in extreme cases, or five drops in the incipiency of the disease, or mild cases. Conjoined with aconite and applied also externally, we, will find in many cases no lisp for any other remedy. I have, however, found my results to be more quickly obtained when an active eliminant is given in conjunction with the remedy in mastitis. Two or three fifteen-grain doses of the acetate of potassium will be found efficient. The writer has, through a long experience, gotten into the habit of adding this remedy to alterative compounds. It is an efficacious remedy in any of the forms of skin disease, common to childhood. Given in the incipiency of eczema and in some forms of chronic eczema, especially that of a dry character, where there are cracks or fissures in the skin, these promptly yield to the internal administration of this remedy. It should be administered in the treatment of syphilitic disorders resulting in ulceration, and in the ulcerations of the outlets of the body. In varicose and other long-standing ulcers, in psoriasis, dermal abscesses, fissures, boils and carbuncles it will be often found that a combination of phytolacca, echinacea, berberis, and stillingia will prove signally effective. Ten drops of equal parts of the juice of ripe poke berries and alcohol may be given every thirty minutes in membranous and spasmodic croup with great success, with other remedies as indicated. Ellingwood’s American Materia Medica, Therapeutics and Pharmacognosy - Page 335 Dr. Waska, of Chicago is a strong advocate of the use of phytolacca and echinacea in the treatment of any form of albuminuria. He believes with proper auxiliary treatment, these two remedies will be of great service in overcoming the excretion of albumin and in restoring a normal condition of the kidneys. Skin disease of constitutional origin, and scrofulous skin diseases, are cured by it. Its action in relieving irritation, inflammation and ulceration of mucous membranes in all parts of the body—throat, larynx, lungs, stomach, bowels and rectum—suggests it as a remedy in inflammation of the lining membrane of the heart; and it is said to have cured cases of this kind. In conjunctivitis, the local and internal use of the remedy is efficient; and also in the treatment of chancre and bubo. In the treatment of conjunctivitis, a saturated tincture of the fresh root should be given in sufficient quantity to produce fullness of the temples and head, while the eyes should be bathed frequently with the decoction. In the treatment of ulcers and ulcerating skin diseases, the local application of a concentrated preparation of the root or berries should be made, so as to exert something of a caustic effect, while full doses are given internally at the same time. The presence in the blood of an infectious irritant, which causes rheumatic pains, as in sciatic rheumatism, and irritation of mucous membranes, or inflammation of the throat associated with rheumatic pains, and enlargement and ulceration of lymphatic glands from scrofula or syphilis, is an indication for the remedial action of phytolacca. It has been thought to stimulate the liver, by those who hold the theory that rheumatism, peritonitis, tonsillitis, and the many diseases assigned to the uric acid diathesis depend upon abnormal protoplasmic change in the blood, as it circulates through the liver; but whether this be true or not, there is no doubt that it improves nutrition. Phytolacca is somewhat narcotic, and also a nerve stimulant in moderate doses, and this will explain its action in curing rheumatism, for those who take the ground that this obscure disease is a neurosis; and also explains its action in neuralgia. Administration—In the administration of this agent the characteristic results may be obtained almost equally well, either from an infusion of the leaves, or from any of the preparations named. The hypodermic administration of the alkaloid pilocarpine, is preferable in many cases, especially where the promptness of its action is desired. The liquid preparations are often unacceptable to a disordered or sensitive stomach and then minute doses of the alkaloid in pellets or granules will be, found a most desirable form for administration. The action of the fluid extract or tincture of jaborandi and impure pilocarpine is sometimes disappointing, failing entirely to produce their characteristic influence and perhaps producing results contrary to those anticipated. This is due to the presence of the alkaloid, jaborine, which acts antagonistically to pilocarpine, having in its therapeutic influence many of the characteristics of atropine, an antagonist of pilocarpine. The nitrate and hydrochlorate of pilocarpine carefully prepared are free from jaborine and are thus reliable in their action. Solutions of pilocarpine should be made fresh when needed, as the salts decompose in aqueous solution. Physiological Action—Near the point of the administration of a hypodermic injection of the alkaloid, a few drops of sweat appear within from four to six minutes after the injection, to be immediately followed with moisture on the forehead, neck and chest, and in quick succession the entire body is bathed with a most profuse perspiration. Ellingwood’s American Materia Medica, Therapeutics and Pharmacognosy - Page 337 It is a powerful anti-diphtheritic and sialogogue, acting profoundly as a stimulant upon the secretions of the entire glandular system. No one known remedy stimulates every secretion of the body simultaneously as profoundly as does this agent. The depression of the agent should not be allowed to progress; after the sweating has continued a few minutes profusely, a little whisky, brandy, tincture of ginger, or tincture of capsicum should be given in hot water, and occasionally repeated while the transpiration progresses. If the heart shows the influence of the depression, a hypodermic of strychnine may be given, or a few drops of the tincture of cactus, strophanthus, digitalis, or nux vomica. If it is desirable to stop the sweating abruptly, atropine hypodermically may be resorted to.
