Acne

Most dermatologists say that acne is “un-curable”, however, there are things you can do to drastically reduce the appearance of your breakouts.

Try using Face Doctor Soap twice a day as an alternative to Proactive and Phisoderm products.

It is a medicated soap that also contains herbal ingredients to keep your skin free of oil and pimples.

Stress

Stress is a big one for most of us. If relaxation techniques don’t work for you, try eating a more healthy and balanced diet.

Regular exercise will also release chemicals in your body that will make you feel more relaxed and content.

Try taking multivitamins to ensure you are getting all of the vitamins and minerals you need.

Headaches

Headaches can be caused by a number of things – stress, dehydration, or for coffee addicts, a lack of caffeine.

Try having a glass of cold water and sitting or lying down. If that doesn’t do the trick, take a couple of Tylenol, Advil, or another form of Ibuprofen.

Cold sores

Believe it or not, if you suffer from cold sores, you’ve picked up the contagious ailment for life.

The most successful treatment for cold sores is a medicated lip ointment like Abreva or another topical lip analgesic.

Fatigue

Many people experience fatigue during the day when they are having dietary insufficiencies.

It’s important for many young men and women to get the iron they need in order to prevent anemia by eating foods high in iron like beef, spinach, and nuts.

There are also iron supplements available to ensure you are getting the correct amount of iron your body needs.

There are lots of us who suffer from moderate to severe breakouts on a daily basis. If you are reluctant to try expensive skin products or acne medications like Proactive, or Phisoderm and Neutrogena aren’t working for you, try these 5 easy steps to clearer skin.

Wash

You must wash your face twice a day EVERY day no matter what. Use a mild soap and warm water to free your skin of oils and dirt. An acne soap product that I personally recommend is Face Doctor soap. I kid you not – it works wonders on moderate breakouts if used twice a day.

Don’t touch

Try to avoid touching your face. There’s a lot of oil on your fingers and touching you face can transfer these oils to your skin and clog your pores.

Stop Popping

Despite what you think, popping pimples does not make them better. In fact, it will cause them to become inflamed, larger, and could possibly scar. The bacteria and oils on your hand will disturb the breakout.

Drink water

If you try cutting out all beverages except water for an entire week, you will notice a difference in the appearance of your skin. It’s a classic skin care remedy.

Eat Healthy

The healthier you are, the healthier your skin will be. Eat foods high in fiber such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Try to stay away from junk food and caffeine. Daily exercise will also keep you feeling healthy.

A recent Canadian study has shown that treating heroin addicts WITH heroin is a much more effective treatment than oral methadone. Now, I’m almost positive that anyone could have just assumed that heroin would be a better treatment, it is what they are addicted to after all. The real point in this study is probably made in the amount of addicts that stay in treatment.

88% of addicts being treated with diacetylmorphine (the active ingredient in heroin) stayed in treated with methadone for at least 12 months whereas, only 54% of addicts being treated with methadone stayed in treatment for the the same amount of time.

Although the usage of street heroin declined significantly (from 27 days a month to only 5) one has to wonder if the addicts only stayed because they kept getting their fix. The main goal of the study is to simply get the addicts to stay in treatment, see a doctor regularly, and to reduce crime and use of street heroin. However, what would some of the addicts do if their doctors thought it was time to slowly take them off the drug? Would they leave, would the increase in crime and use of street heroin increase significantly, or would the addicts be committed to stopping their heavy usage of heroin. I think that should be the next step in the test.

The only thing about this study is it may not change anything in the United States due to strict drug policies.

Side note: Although crime decreased as well as use of street heroin, cocaine usage remained high.

cal errors have causing an alarming amount of preventable deaths in the United States.-

An estimate 200,000 Americans will die in 2009 due to preventable medical errors and hospital infections. So you have to ask yourself, do you feel safe? I am not so sure anymore. I the fact that yes, we are all human and we do make some mistakes. However, 200,000 preventable deaths in 2009 alone is unacceptable. I cannot comprehend how after 10+ years of post-secondary schooling that many people are killed due to a mistake. No longer should it be consider “Dead By Mistake,” instead maybe is should be more appropriately name “Sorry I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to cut the red or blue one,” or what about “Maybe I should’ve been paying more attention,” or how about “Oops!”

Someone needs to address this current statistic. There should not be this many accidental deaths in a modernized country such as ours. It is simply not good enough. Some new set of rules need to be put in place. Maybe an investigation team that determine how great a mistake was made. Maybe place cameras in the operating room so if someone does die by mistake the tape can be reviewed and higher powers can punish the doctor that was responsible appropriately.

Whatever is suggested, something does need to be done. I don’t feel safe anymore, I don’t have faith in doctors, who are supposed to be some of the most educated people in the country. Something needs to be done, something needs to be changed.

If you are like me, then you are out this summer going to concerts. I love music, and I love watching a band perform live, especially those bands that are not only amazing musicians, but amazing performers. Anyway, this coming Friday August 7th, I’m going to an outdoor concert, and many of those outdoor concerts are a blast, but it comes at a price..

The last outdoor concert I went to, was amazing, but the rain just didn’t stop. However, this time it appears to look as if it will be hot, and this brings new risks to my health and anyone else’s health. Now, again as much as I love music, it can damage your hearing. Especially at a rock concert, where the music can actually cause permanent hearing damage. If you are worried about this, ear plug should be considered. You just need them to lesson the volume, not stop it altogether, what would be the point of the concert be then? If you don’t know what the volume of the concert will be like then bring ear plugs just in case. If you do experience lasting symptoms, or anything you believe to be irregular then go see your doctor immediately to prevent permanent damage.

Also, in the heat there are a vast amount of health hazards. Dehydration can become very serious. You are outside in the sun with thousands of people cramped into a small space (small in relation to the large number of people). Make sure to drink plenty of fluids. Also, wear sunscreen. You will be outside baking in the sun all day and that much exposure can leave a serious burn, and may eventually lead to cancer.

Side-note : –

If you are worried about bodily harm I would advise staying out of the mosh pit, but that is up to you. Make sure you enjoy the concert, but you should be safe while doing so. So now I’ve covered some of the potential health risks. Now I can’t wait to see Heaven and Hell with Coheed and Cambria.
