Cleansing & the GI Tract / Re: Activated Charcoal Doses
« Last post by Libbyleigh on Yesterday at 01:09:15 PM »
Personally, I only take AC when I have a stomach ache, and I take about a tablespoon in a glass of water.
You need to wait at least two hours after taking prescription medication, to take the charcoal. However, the length of time that the prescription stays in the blood stream, depends on the prescription, so I would talk to your pharmacist about that.
I don't believe that 2 tablespoons would be dangerous. If that is how much it takes to help you feel better, then that is probably a good dosage, however, I would start at 1 tablespoon, and see how that work first. Unless part of a cleansing program, I wouldn't take it every day, since it could do more harm then good by absorbing the nutrients from your food, along with the bad stuff.
If you are interested in a cleanse, my dad has had wonderful results from the Detox+ cleanse from the Bulk Herb Store, it has AC included in its ingredients, along with some other herbs to help clear the toxins out of your colon, after the AC has absorbed it.
I hope that answers your question!

If she doesn't have an infection NOW, then I would let it go and heal on its own.  I had an ear drum burst from infection when I was 30 or so and my doctor just let my ear drain with no antibiotics.  The infection was coming out, there was no need to add to that with abx.  I did use a cotton ball in my ear to catch the ick coming out and just changed it often.  You might be able to put something that won't sting the ear on the cotton ball as a natural antibiotic (not sure if peroxide would work or not with a hole in the drum).  I could not hear AT ALL out of that ear for at least 2 weeks so plan on her not being able to hear you, but it will get better!  So I would hold off for the moment and if she does get an infection, and the ear drum has sealed up, then I would use garlic ear oil drops.  But don't use those on an open drum.  You can also use homeopathic hepar sulph to help the body clear the infection.  A 30C dosed twice a day for 2-3 days should do it.

Emotion, Sleep & Behavior / Re: Panic Attacks (Stress & Anxiety): Causes & Cures
« Last post by Libbyleigh on Yesterday at 06:48:10 AM »
I see that it has been several years since anyone has posted here, but hopefully someone is keeping tabs and will respond.

Alright, I have been having some episodes that I think might be panic attacks, but I'm not sure. During a stressful situation, I will begin to feel a tingling in my chest and a tightening in my stomach. The tingling will move into my face, my legs and down into my fingers, to the point that I cannot move them. I will begin to feel very light headed, get tunnel vision, and become intensely nauseated.
I first began experiencing this about four years ago, and though it was blood sugar, but since it only happens when I'm nervous or scared, I think that it might be a panic attack. Also, it happens mainly when I'm driving, and I'm not sure why. I was in a wreck when I was 7, but it was mild, and I am a safe driver, so I don't know why I would be afraid of driving.
Also, social situations bother me. I don't have quite the same panic attack feeling, but I have an intense fear of throwing up, and am always afraid that I am either going to throw up or pass out, and because of all the people, I will not be able to get to the bathroom fast enough, or I will make a scene.

I also have several other fears, but I think that those two are quite enough for now!   ::)
If anyone has any ideas as to what  may be causing this, I am open to any suggestions, and just ready to start living a less fearful life! :)

Eyes, Ears, Nose & Throat / Perforated eardrum in toddler
« Last post by tlcaser on Yesterday at 06:34:23 AM »
Help! MY 14 month old baby girl stuck a cotton swab in her ear and perforated her ear drum. THe doctor said there is a little tear. and it is red. There is some seeping. Looks darkly colored (like blood). And it has a foul odor now. The doctor has prescribed antibiotics. I do not want to give her the antibiotics, but I don't want her to get an infection and risk permanent hearing loss. Any advice? Is there anything that I can put in her ear?? I don't want to cause her any pain. She is not in any pain and acting totally normal. Help!!! I really want my little sweetie to heal with out any antibiotics. THanks in advance!!!

By keeping these items in mind when searching for a position as a limo driver / chauffeur, you will be sure to make a good impression on potential employers and maybe even get the job that you desire. you will enjoy driving limos like white hummers, black hummers, 4x4 limos, baby Bentleys, and the phontom limos for all those special occasions such as school proms, nights out, hen and stag nights, royal ascot.

Cardio-vascular & Blood / Re: Bruising easily

It might be a good idea to check your platelet count to check their level, if you continue to get unexplained bruising, especially on the arms or legs.

We were both kicked off for being vocal about alternatives to the drug therapies (it is 4 drug companies that run the pdsa) and for defending the rights of parents to make alternative decisions for their children.   I am unable to provide contact info for April, however, I can help you find someone local to you (there are a couple close to GA).
