Headache Stomach Ache Flu

June 25th, 2009




headache stomach ache flu


Is it the flu or am I pregnant?


I have been having a sore throat for about two weeks or more now. And about three days ago I started to get joint pains, stomach ache, headache, shivers, sweaty, and my throat is hurting with a sharp pain and a bad cough, also I have pretty much lost my voice. But I have started my period today which is a couple of days early.
Can anyone give me any advise?
Thank you!

It sounds like you are just sick. If you think you may be pregnant, take a test.

Harry Potter Alphabet Quiz?


I have an alphabet quiz where I have to get a magical shop owner with a name of each letter of the alphabet. I’m a bit stuck… Can anyone help? Here’s what I’ve got so far

Ambrosius Flume
Borgin (and Burke)
C
Dumbledore, Aberforth
E
Fortescue, Florian
George Weasley
H
I
J
K
L
Malkin, Madam
N
Ollivander, Mr
Puddifoot, Madam
Q
Rosmerta, Madam
S
T
U
V
Weasley, Fred
X
Y
Zonko

Kind of a bit mix and match…

do this since you are using george’s first name, use Caractacus Burke and borgin as separate names so you can have a c-starting name
and you cant complain they both own the same shop since even the weasly twins own the same shop

How Does Fluoride Prevent Cavities

June 24th, 2009



“new Study, Prevent Heart Disease With Dental Care?”

What does the health of your mouth have to do with your overall health? In a word, plenty. A look inside or a swab of saliva can tell your doctor volumes about what’s going on inside your body.

Some eating habits can wreak havoc on your body and your teeth. For example, snacking throughout the day can increase the risk of tooth decay. Sipping soda and frequent nibbling on snack foods increase the rate of harmful acid attacks on tooth enamel. And repeated binge eating- impulsive gorging or continuous eating- can do the same.

Limit snacks, particularly those high in simple sugars, and eat a balanced diet
Every time you eat, particles of food become lodged in and around your teeth, providing fuel for bacteria. The more often you eat and the longer food stays in your mouth, the more time bacteria have to break down sugars and produce acids that begin the decay process.

Each time you eat food containing sugars or starches (complex sugars), your teeth are exposed to bacterial acids for 20 minutes or more. If you must snack, brush your teeth or chew sugarless gum afterward.

A balanced diet is also important. Deficiencies in minerals and vitamins can also affect your oral health, as well as your general health.

Commit to a daily oral-health routine
Based on discussions with your dentist or dental hygienist, come up with an effective oral-health routine that’s easy to follow and takes your situation into account. For example, if you are taking medication that dries your mouth, you may want to use fluoride every day.

Pregnant women, people with underlying health conditions, such as diabetes, and people in orthodontic treatment also may want or need special daily care.

Everyone can benefit from fluoride, not just children. Fluoride strengthens developing teeth in children and helps prevent decay in adults and children. Toothpastes and mouthwashes are good sources of fluoride. Your dentist can prescribe stronger concentrations of fluoride through gels or rinses if you need it.

Why is it Important to Eat Right?
A poor diet can lead to gum disease and tooth decay. Foods high in carbohydrates, sugars and starches greatly contribute to the production of plaque acids that attack tooth enamel. Eventually, these acids can cause tooth enamel to break down, forming a cavity.

If you must eat foods high in sugar or starch, try to eat them during meals rather than between meals, and avoid any foods that stick to your teeth as these can produce more plaque. Most meals already contain acid-producing ingredients, so the less you expose your teeth to these ingredients, the less plaque acids attack your tooth enamel. Also, saliva production rises during meals, helping rinse food from the mouth.

The human mouth is one of the main routes of entry of foreign microorganisms into the body. This is why orally transmitted diseases are widespread and common in human populations. Colostrum appears to also enhance saliva-mediated protection against dental diseases, as well as other orally transmitted infections. This has a far-reaching benefit to our health.

For example, heart disease is now known to be related to oral health. The bacterium Phorphyomonas gingivitis, responsible for gum disease, is now also known for its damaging effects in the linings of the arteries.

This was proven by the work of Dr. Raul Garcia of the Boston VA Outpatient Clinic. As part of the VA Normative Aging Study, some 1,100 men studied over a 25-year period. They were healthy at the start, but the men with the worst gums had twice the heart-attack rate of their peers with healthy gums and odorless breadth. Their stroke rate was three times as high. The bacterium has also been found at the “scene of the crime”- in diseased carotid arteries.

By taking care of your dental health with colostrum, you’re also taking care of many other aspects of your health. It can prevent infections, and maybe even diseases, throughout your body.

Swine Flu Policy For Employers

June 24th, 2009




swine flu policy for employers

Swine Influenza A, H1N1, Pandemic Flu, Influenza

While there is currently no vaccine against H1N1 flu, you can take safety measures to help prevent the spread of germs both in the workplace and at home.

These simple guidelines can better protect the safety and health of your employees and their families:

H1N1 Flu Alert

In partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Safety Council is reaching out to its members and other employers for help in the current H1N1 Flu outbreak. Businesses play a vital role.

To contain the possibility of an outbreak among your employees:
Review your organization’s emergency and communication plans. Plans should establish policies about:

1 ) Employee compensation and sick-leave absences unique to a pandemic, including policies on when a previously ill person is no longer infectious and can return to work after illness. Even during the most severe pandemics, most people completely recover. Recovered workers will have immunity to the illness and can safely return to work.

2) Flexible worksites (telecommuting) and flexible work hours.

3) Employees who have been exposed to the flu, are suspected of being ill or become ill at the worksite.

4) Frequent hand washing with soap and water, especially after coughing or sneezing. Have an alcohol-based hand cleaner readily available.

5) Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.

6) Avoid close contact with others who are sick.

7) Clean and disinfect shared work surfaces and office hot spots (i.e. faxes, microwaves, light switches, pens and time clocks) throughout the day.

8) Review your organization’s emergency and communication plans. Know what procedures to take if someone comes down with the flu.

9) If you feel sick, (fever with either cough or sore throat) inform your employer and healthcare provider. Stay home if you are sick for 7 days after your symptoms begin or until you have been symptom-free for 24 hours, whichever is longer. This is to keep from infecting others and spreading the virus further.

10) Follow local public health advice regarding school closures, avoiding crowds and other social distancing measures based on illness in specific communities.

11) If you haven’t developed a family emergency plan yet, consider developing one now as a precaution. This should include storing a supply of extra food, medicines, facemasks and other essential supplies.

Swine Flu 70’s

swine flu 70's


Why is swine flu being sold as new? Is it a different one from the one in the 70’s called swine flu?


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GV1ng6_5fI

take your pick theres a heap of 70’s propaganda there to view, nowdays they just buy the media to do their advertising and very few notice…..

quick, quick rush out and buy some tamiflu the corporate masters need more lamborghinis………

swine flu is an infection of a host animal by any one of several specific types of microscopic organisms called “swine influenza virus”. in 2009 the media labeled as “swine flu” flu caused by 2009’s new strain of swine-origin A/H1N1 pandemic virus just as it had earlier dubbed as “avian flu” flu caused by the recent Asian-linage HPAI (High Pathogenic Avian Influenza) H5N1 strain that is still endemic in many wild bird species in several countries.

Heater Core Flush Kits

June 24th, 2009




heater core flush kits

Go With Used Parts Rather Than New Car Parts

Use car parts are fine to use if you are like me! I like every thing new. Don’t worry use parts in this manner are just fine. The only thing I would do is put white lube on your window track and door lock linkages. The only thing I wouldn’t use is the plastic clips if you cant get them.

For brake booster rebuilds, the two with the best reputation are “Booster Dewey” and “Karps”. Karps is the one I use. If you are looking for a source of rebuilding kits, I’m not going to be able to help you, as I’ve not run into a source for them. If you are a member of a club, post your question on there web site; someone will have an answer for you. WPC is the main Chrysler club, as you probably know, but I’m sure there is a 300 club also.

Some vendors advertise new heater cores on eBay all the time, so I’d look there first. I tried that on my 67 Imperial, and they couldn’t help me. But I’ve found that a good radiator shop can rebuild and even rescore any heater core I’ve ever had to repair. I have gotten rebuilt power brake boosters for 64 Chryslers from AutoZone and from NAPA in the past - they are another source at around $100 exchange.

I can tell you my experience, I use Silicon Grease, and available at most auto parts places as it is designed for this purpose. It is clear grease in a tube, with a consistency similar to that of Vaseline, but without any petroleum content, so it will not attack the rubber or any plastic you put it on - it is totally inert in that respect.

It is used in space instruments for this exact reason and I’ve always used it on my cars -it keeps the weather-striping and rubber bumpers under the hood etc. just like new. I put it on in a thin coat with my fingers, rub it in a bit, and then wipe off any excess that might come in contact with someone’s clothing. GE makes it, and so does Dow-Corning. The DC part number is DC-4. I got my last tube from the NAPA store - it was the GE brand, but it is just the same to use and the way it works.

I have a 1996 Jetta Trek with a door lock problem. The locking mechanism fails to actuate any doors other than the one in which I actually use a key. And, after using the key, I heard the vacuum pump running too long, as well as the telltale hissing which revealed a leak under the dash on the d/s. This all seemed to happen after I had a stereo system installed.

Running speaker wire, they must have inadvertently broke my vacuum tubing connector, right at the wire/air-line harness between the inside lower part of the d/s door and the chassis where it all feeds through the body into the fuse box area above the pedals. The tubing connector nipple (or what looks like might have been one) is sheared off, and I have two flush ends, which of course will not seal when I reconnect the harness.

Get some vacuum tubing from your local car parts store like they use under the hood on engines, and make sure it’s just big enough to push that little plastic pipe into, but not so big that it slides right in. There shouldn’t be a need to even glue it or seal it if the fit is tight enough.

Tendon Rupture Fluoroquinolones

June 23rd, 2009




tendon rupture fluoroquinolones


Cipro and running?????


Age: 34
Gender: Male
Current Rx: Ciprofloxacin 500 mg BID for 30 days
Condition: Prostatitis

Other than the prostatitis I’ve been diagnosed with on Monday (4 days ago), I’m healthy.

I’m training for a marathon and have been running 30-40 miles weekly. I’ve read online about the suspected relationship between fluoroquinolones and tendonitis (and ruptured tendons) in some patients taking Cipro.

I guess I’m concerned and not sure what effect this should have on my running? Should it have any?

Can I continue running and see if any discomfort develops?

Swine Flu Beginning Symptoms

June 23rd, 2009




swine flu beginning symptoms


Could this be the beginning of swine flu? I feel -?


weaker than usual kinda like I’m losing my balance when I walk,

Headache that feels like lots of pressure

slight fever

Feels like a ball of dust in the back of my throat when I wake up

no cough yet

no other symptoms yet

It sounds like you may be getting a cold to me. It’s possible that it could be the flu, though, so be watchful of your symptoms. It’s difficult to tell the difference between the regular flu and swine flu. Keep an eye on your temperature to make sure it doesn’t get too high and take Tylenol for the fever/achiness. Watch out for worrisome symptoms (very high fever, disorientation, constant nausea/vomiting that doesn’t cease after 48-72 hours, minimal urine output, etc.).

Most importantly, trust your instincts. If you end up getting very sick and think you need to go to the ER then go immediately. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Get plenty of rest, drink plenty of fluids, and eat well to try and boost your immune system so you can fight off your illness.

Take care and feel better soon!
