  You may not know this, but I’m not a pill popper and if there’s an alternative out there to doctor medication I’ll find it. Several months ago I had a bought of severe anxiety, I had this fear that I would have to go to the bathroom and couldn’t find one in time. The end result was everywhere I went I looked for a bathroom- it was the focus and center of all my attention. I couldn’t go anywhere unless I had the potty near by. Crazy huh?

I wasn’t interested in taking any medication.

I’m not too interested on fixing my screwed up head by stuffing pills down my throat. Instead I went and looked for alternatives. And here’s what I found.

Colon Cleanse the Movement You Like

By Gregg Forscher

  Most of the time, we tend to eat foods that are harmful to our bodies. The reason why they are harmful is because of free radicals and other toxins that are present in them. One of the ways that you can get rid of those harmful elements is to go through a procedure called colon cleanse. After all, having a clean body is not enough. You need to make sure that your insides are also clean to ensure that you are healthy.

The importance of colon cleansing

A colon cleanse procedure is essential for good and even for better health. Without this, your body stores those toxins into your system, which can cause health problems like constipation, being overweight, candida, allergies, headaches, depression, anxiety, heart burn, fatigue, and other diseases and health concerns.

Fiber is natures broom

To avoid these health concerns, you are usually required to take in lots of fiber to promote regular bowel movement. Fiber can come in the form of green and leafy vegetables as well as oats. This is one way that you can cleanse your colon and free the harmful toxins that can get stored into your system.

Other means to promote bowel movement

Not all people can enjoy eating healthily and most of the time, the foods we love to eat nowadays have insufficient or no fiber at all. So, laxatives and enemas are the ones being recommended to those people. However, while those forms of colon cleanse methods may be helpful at first, they can cause further problems in the long run if misused.

Do not turn the enema into your enemy

Enemas are effective if administered correctly and used occasionally. If you use it wrongly, they can damage the lower area of your colon and lose elasticity. Enemas are usually prescribed by doctors to treat severe constipation so make sure that you follow instructions carefully and never use tap water with it. Otherwise, it can destroy the good bacteria in your colon, cause rectal bleeding, and even death.

Fighting constipation with laxatives

Nowadays, laxatives are not merely used for cleansing your colon anymore or for relieving constipation but they are also known to be helpful for weight loss. Because of this, users tend to abuse the purpose of laxatives, which can lead to problems like more constipation once you stop using it, headaches, restlessness, insomnia, and more. If you are taking laxatives, make sure that you drink lots of water because not doing so puts you in the risk for dehydration.

Going natural

Perhaps you have stumbled across products that claim to have natural ingredients to promote an all-natural colon cleansing procedure in your system. While some of these all-natural products may seem effective, be careful of the ones with ingredients like senna, rhubarb, and cascara sagrada. These are known as anthraquinones. They are effective as laxatives but once you experience side effects like nausea, bloody stool, dehydration, cramping, and other problems, consult with your doctor immediately.

Let your doctor help you out

Colon cleanse products are usually available over the counter, which means that you can buy them even without a prescription. However, before running to your nearest pharmacy to buy one, it is important that you consult with your doctor first to check if colon cleansers are safe for you to use. Remember that these products may have ingredients that can be harmful to pre existing conditions or they can cause further complications in the long run.

Puff Puff Give: The Great Cannabis Debate Continues

By Samantha Gilmartin

  The cannabis laws have been misunderstood by many people for many years now. At the time of going to press (November, 2008), the plant remains a class C drug. The government now has plans to re-categorise it back to Class B.

This move goes against both leading scientists and MPs who have criticised the plans, arguing the decision ignores the opinions of experts.

The main reason for the move is due to public concern over skunk, a stronger strain of the drug which dominates the UK market. Skunk is now responsible for approximately 70-80pc of the UK cannabis market, a huge rise from just 15pc six years ago.

Skunk (or sinsemilla) has higher amounts of the active ingredient, THC than the weaker resin form of the drug. An expert from the Forensic Science Service (FSS) noted the THC content in skunk has risen from 6pc in 1995 to 14pc in 2005.

So users are getting a stronger high than ever before, but not without warnings from medical officials. Skunk also contains less cannabidiol (CBD), the anti-psychotic substance which moderates the effect of THC on the psyche of the user.

Whilst it is widely agreed and recognised the plant is now stronger and potentially more dangerous to users, there is evidence that cannabis can be of huge medical help to suffers of conditions including arthritis, glaucoma and cataracts.

And this forms the grounds on which scientists argue their case.

Cannabis potentially has the chance to alleviate the pain of many suffering patients the world over, if only the government dropped their stance on the drug. It can be made in tablet form to rule out any adverse smoking related side effects and in doing so, alleviates most side effects in their entirety.

Diclofenac, for example, is an extremely strong anti-inflamotary drug prescribed by doctors to patients with a vast array of symptoms. A very effective choice, but one that can leave the patient feeling nauseous, dizzy and unable to continue their daily routine.

Cannabis, on the other hand, alleviates distress with minimal side effects to the individual.

Aside from the medical benefits of Britain’s favourite recreational drug, there are other worries surrounding the reclassification.

The Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) states that if Cannabis is reclassified back to a class B drug, said reclassification could be “very damaging” to the downward trend of the drug’s use.

The ACMD continued: “Cannabis use has fallen in recent years, especially following its downgrading to class C in 2004 and it is obviously unwise to risk reversing that trend. The classification system must be credible… reclassification would send out an ambiguous message about the dangers of current class B drugs.”

If cannabis was moved to class B status, users could face up to five years imprisonment with a maximum sentence of 14 years behind bars for dealers.

Other class B drugs include amphetamines and barbiturates.

So whilst it is widely agreed that skunk is the more dominant drug of choice for Brits, there is evidence that suggests usage is falling in the UK. As a result, is there really any need to confuse people further with reclassifications? I think not.
