Avatar n tn COPD is Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which a chronic disease and causes symptoms of cough, breathlessness and wheezing. The commonest cause for COPD is smoking. The lungs age with smoking as in comparison to the person’s age. If you stop smoking at this point, the lungs are not damaged any further, though the damage that has already been done cannot be reversed. So, giving up smoking would be first step towards controlling COPD.

Avatar n tn t start taking the herbs right away but after taking it and stopping coughin the process of my cough lasted about a month. I have started to take herbs again but it is not working. I have not gotten the herbs from the same doctor as last time and am wondering if I took the same herbs again if that would help but am also concerned if it might be another health related problem although I am not @ risk for any other health problems.
Avatar f tn He should also center most of his meals around veggies, which are very low in calories (leave off the sauces and use oils and herbs for seasoning). Veggies also have tons of fiber, which will help keep tummy troubles at bay. Limit fruit to about 1-2 servings/day, since most fruit has a lot of sugar, which can be turned to fat, very quickly, if not used for energy. Make sure it's whole fruit vs fruit juice, because with whole fruit, you get the added bonus of the fiber.
Avatar n tn Medicines will alleviate some of the symptoms and pain but in in most case you have to take them for the rest of your life with the added problem of side effects (go to any medication you have in your cabinet and you will find a list of possible side effects) just as with natural medicine you may have some side effect but they will not work instantly as start from building your body up to help repair itself with some support for the immediate problem so please do not be put off pursuing natural
Avatar f tn I wanted to try acupuncture/herbs before jumping the gun and gettin surgery. My doc said it was okay to try herbs if i felt they would benefit me and scheduled another ultrasound in a little over one month.

Avatar m tn Hi there, My daughter and her BF had a roomate that smoked that stuff. It's not good. Apparently it is herbs with something that they call synthetic THC. A bunch of chemicals. Here in Utah they are making it illegal because it's considered hazerdous. Google "smoking spice dangers" and there is alot of stuff on it. I think it is telling that there is a push in some states to legalize pot, and yet they are banning that stuff right and left.
Avatar n tn t ever want to put him back on it for fear of increasing his odds of cancer. We will stick with the chinese herbs and if he has problems again we will follow your program to reintroduce them.
Avatar f tn A doctor in NYC prescribed the herbs. It definitely wasn't the absence of herbs that caused the PVC's to be eliminated because I misspoke in my original post. I was not on those particular herbs prior to taking Toprol, I was taking supplements only (Fish Oil, Potassium, Magnesuim). It is my understanding that the herbs are very safe. I do want to bring them in to my Cardiologist to show him the ingredients, though. These are the herbs I am taking, and their ingredients.
Avatar f tn You certainly have a number of the classic symptoms for hypo t, and your FT4 was on the very low end of the range. I would stop taking any more of the herbs and go back and ask that FT 3 also be tested (free T3), because it is 4 times as potent as FT4 and largely regulates metabolism. Doctors do not usually check FT3 because they assume that if T4 is okay, then T3 will also be okay. That is not always the case, plus your FT4 is on the very low end of its range already.

Avatar m tn At some point, something I took CDP Choline (also known as Citicoline) or Choline Bitartrate and they left me PERMANENTLY UNAFFECTED by herbs/drugs and permanently disabled me with the worst chronic fatigue of my life. As a matter of fact, some drugs and herbs even have the opposite effects than intended now, and I can barely move I'm so fatigued. No supplements, herbs, or drugs seem to have the intended effects, and I cannot reverse the effect back to how things were.

Avatar m tn I am going to see my doctor again soon, just to go over a few things, and hes well aware of the pot smoking, and doesnt see it as a big problem either. I was thinking about seeing a naturopath too, i guess it couldnt hurt. I'm not concerned about the money, and I think I have coverage for that through my work. At this point i'm willing to try anything.
Avatar m tn Marijuana can cause panic attacks in some people. Mainly in people who have been smoking for a long time, however, I suffered panic attacks after only 4 months of smoking. Marijuana stimulates the pleasure cells in your brain. If you wan't a scientific answer do a web search. Personally, marijuana affects on me were : increased taste, increased hunger, increased sense of hearing, increased sexual pleasure, increased interest in simple or mundane activities, increased paranoia, and sedation.
1858622 tn?1319813203 Most sleep doctors try to avoid medications for sleep or if they do implement them it's only for a short period while the individual also starts CBTi which can help treat the insomnia at it's root cause and prevent them from needing to take an addictive sleep medication at all. A Harvard study in 2004 demonstrated medications are not the best treatment for insomnia, but rather Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTi) is better.

Avatar m tn You are not going to do permanent damage to your brain from a couple nights of drinking and smoking pot. I don't mean to encourage doing things that have some risk of creating dependency, but the actions of cannabis are temporary-- as are most of the effects of alcohol-- provided you aren't drinking to the point of alcohol toxicity (for example, drinking so much that you pass out, repeatedly).
Avatar m tn There does not seem to be many side effects to most herbs, I did get some high blood pressure from Viagra but now since being on mostly herbs I feel and get some real good hardons, and the morning woods are good, I even get woken in the night with some real boners and never had that before.
