When Shakespeare was writing The Merchant of Venice, he was talking about the extent to which people are the same under the skin. As an example, let’s take acupuncture. This is a technique perfected in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Put most simply, the practitioners treat sickness and disease by sticking needles into their patients. There are complex diagrams identifying all the key points round the body and, by inserting needles at just the right points for each condition to be treated, you produce relief or a cure. To those in the West who are used to the idea of taking a tablet, acupuncture just looks like masochism, i.e. you feel so much better when the pain stops. In China, there are more than two thousand years of experience in administering treatment this way and many medical hospitals in Asia and ASEAN include acupuncture as one of the therapies available to treat patients. The point of interest today is that China is now also adapting its techniques to produce aesthetic acupuncture to treat acne and premature baldness, and to promote weight loss. Westerners are used to using a range of treatments for cosmetic problems such as acne and baldness. Some are available over the counter while others require a prescription. Accutane, being the most powerful treatment for acne, usually requires the approval of a dermatologist before it is prescribed. This requires needles to be inserted in the upper back, shoulders and neck. Various infusions are also used together with a general recommendation to drink more dandelion tisane or chrysanthemum tea - popular drinks in the region to promote good health. There is increasingly sound scientific evidence about the effectiveness of TCM as more Western researchers begin to study these century-old techniques. As it stands, the drug of final resort for the treatment of acne is accutane which has significant problems associated with its use by women of child-bearing age. If the same improvements seen among those who use acupuncture could be replicated in the West, would this not be a better way to treat a serious skin problem rather than having to rely on heavy-duty drugs with sometimes dangerous side effects?

One of the world’s leading scientists specialising in sports drugs, Dr Robin Parisotto, has gone on the record. It’s official. If so, we’ll never know. So what are these new techniques? I really like these ideas. Researchers at the Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum - the cancer research center in Germany - have shown that tattooing is sixteen times more effective than injections in delivering a drug into the body. So, you get the same effect with one-sixteenth of the dose and that makes the dose so much harder to detect. But the most interesting ideas are the use of Cialis and nitrous oxide gas. Yes, friends, inhaling laughing gas makes you go faster, jump higher, and so on. The point is that both operate as vascular dilators - they open up your blood vessels. Blood flows increase and bring more oxygen to those working muscles faster. The advantage of buying Cialis online is that it stays in the body for longer - it’s not called the “weekend” pill for nothing.

So if you see a runner coming down the street towards you covered in tattoos, popping pills and breathing from a gas canister, don’t be surprised: this is your next Olympian in training.

Every day my inbox gets thousands of those annoying spam messages telling me how wonderful Viagra and cialis is. Gone are the days when I could just tweak the filter to include the latest permutation on Viagra. Images are hard to filter out. It’s not that I mind being reminded every now and then what the wonderful little blue pill can do. Now these clever spammers are into jpgs and all kinds of other tricks to get through the mail servers. But to have something every few minutes is just egregiously bad. After all, there was that time a year or so back when I had a bad patch and found out how good Viagra is. When I was just starting out in IT back in the 70s, one of the standard tools was American Standard Code for Information Interchange - a code for characters, numbers, symbols, etc. And what did handy people do when they got bored? They made pictures out of all those characters. And guess what’s just popped into my inbox. You got it. It’s a headline, “Viagra - $1.10″ with the message built out of ASCII. So it made me sit up and take notice - just like taking Viagra online really. Those clever spammers have found a new way to beat the filters. Bravo!

Back in July, McCain was asked about his voting record on medical insurance. It went along the lines, “Did you vote in the Senate against a proposal to require insurance companies to cover contraceptive products?” With abortion such a hot button issue in the Presidential Election campaign, someone asked him a direct question - makes a refreshing change to find someone asking a politician for a straight answer on Viagra. Now far be it for me to suggest this is a tad sexist - men set the terms of every policy and they favor the men who pay the premiums. No. Perhaps that is fair. When women are good enough to be appointed as the policy makers, they can pay out for the women to get their contraceptives. To give you a little background, most private medical insurance companies will not cover the cost of any contraceptive product but will pay for their male policy holders to get their Viagra. Anyway, let’s not get into that. When asked the question, McCain gave one of those straight answers he is so famous for, “I don’t know enough about it to give you an informed answer because I don’t recall the vote.” Did you see that one of the side effects of Viagra is amnesia? The FDA is going to require a warning on labels. Looks like McCain has been using cheap Viagra online just a little too long if he can’t remember how he votes on important political issues. And just so you don’t get confused, I’m against gender discrimination in any and every form.

Cancer is perhaps the most feared of all the diseases that can affect humanity. No-one is entirely sure why it affects some people and not others. All we know is that, unless you catch it early, it can be a killer and, unfortunately, not a fast killer. Cancer is often a painful and lingering death. For men, this sometimes produces some decisions that may, at first sight seem hard. Prostate cancer is relatively common among older men. Often the only remedy is what’s called a radical prostatectomy - the complete removal of the prostate gland. As the cancer advances, one of the first symptoms is erectile dysfunction. Levitra is particularly effective in maintaining the ability to engage in sexual activity during the lead up to surgery. But this brings us to the decision. If the diagnosis comes for men during their late 60s or early 70s, statistically, they are likely to die naturally before the tumour kills them. But there is significant uncertainty for men who are slightly younger. There is, however, one certainty. The decision? Men could elect not to have surgery so that they stand a better chance of continuing sexual potency during their remaining years. Interestingly, the decision is not hard. The majority of men elect to have surgery. They prefer the chance of more years to the maintenance of their virility.

Now we’ll review the book about sleep disorders by Gayle Greene’s. So here is an autobiographical take on what it is like to live with insomnia by a woman who ought to know. She wins this prize even though not a medical researcher because she is the “patient representative” on the board of the American Insomnia Association, which operates within the AASM’s umbrella.

There is no reason for this. It is nothing more than a failure to sleep. There should be no pejorative implication. To use stress as an excuse is to blame the person for being weak or neurotic when there is no reason to blame yourself or anyone else. Instead of looking for some psychological explanation or a less judgemental physical cause, we should just accept that it happens to about 20% of the population at one time or another during their lives. Conventional wisdom always says that insomnia is somehow related to anxiety or stress levels, perhaps aggravated by drinking too many cups of real coffee. Greene comes up with a simple and practical explanation of what insomnia is. Insomnia means nothing more than you cannot get the number of hours of sleep you need to feel good about yourself and function efficiently. Such a vast number of people yet so little is spent on researching the condition and its causes. Greene comments that the National Institutes of Health in the United States spent less than $20m in 2005, whereas Sanofi-Aventis spent more than $120m promoting Ambien in the same year. This is neither to praise nor condemn Ambien. It is all a question of priorities. Why bother to spend Government money on researching the cause of a condition when private capital has already invented Ambien as a cure for it? She debates what we really understand about cause and effect. It is so easy to get the cart before the horse, or should that be the other way round? Folk tales may tell us that we went to sleep when dusk fell and waited for the cock to crow before waking. But was that actually the case? Who can say what the real biological norms were before electricity came along and gave everyone the chance to live through the darkness.

Others find their immune system affected. Sleep seems so indispensable yet no-one can really control it. Greene describes everything she has tried over the years from relaxation therapies to medication like Ambien, but concludes that, like any intimate relationship, how we relate to sleep is always personal.

For one who has never had problems sleeping nor had to take Ambien, Insomniac was a riveting insight into the condition and the problems it causes. Required reading for everyone who reads this article.

For one who has had to depend on Ambien and the other medications for so long, she feels she and all other sufferers deserve better answers than those served up by the pharmaceutical companies.

Although the first thought when the pain starts is to take Ultram, an equally urgent problem is the need to get a good night’s sleep. When you have a fairly constant level of pain, sleep is the first thing to suffer. Sleep does not come until you are too exhausted to care any more. Then, when it seems as though only an hour or so has passed, you’re awake again. Effective pain management is really the management of your feelings about the pain. To make the best recovery, you have to remain as positive as possible no matter what the world throws at you. Sleep is essential in this. If you’re walking around feeling like one of the living dead, you’ll feel less positive. That means taking drugs on top of the painkillers to help you sleep properly. Get proper medical advice. Some drugs interact when you mix them. Ultram is no exception to this rule. So ask your doctor before adding a sleeping aid. Once you’ve established a better sleep routine, you can move on to the next step which is learning how to live your life within the new limits imposed by the pain. There will be a short-term role for sleeping pills to restore your strength of purpose. Now, with Ultram to help you through the first steps, it’s back to the drawing board to relearn how to move around with the least pain.

Sometimes, a comedian just hits the right note of humor and intelligence to pass through the television screen and feel like a real human being. So often actors and comedians are trying too hard. There’s an archness about their performance. Bernie Mac was a rare talent. Although the official cause of death this August was pneumonia, he had been fighting sarcoidosis for many years. This is an autoimmune disease that, somewhat unfairly, operates along racial lines. Black Americans are sixteen times more likely to die than white Americans. There is no cure for this disease. It can affect any part of the body where groups of cells clump together. Where these so-called granulomas occur, the body is damaged. The standard treatment is Prednisone. This corticosteroid modifies the immune system, reduces inflammation and, in many cases, induces remission. Bernie Mac had been in remission for some three years before his death. Although there are some side effects if you take a steroid like Prednisone over longer periods of time, e.g. an increase in body weight, fluid retention, etc. these are prices worth paying for those with this disease. Often affecting the lungs and leaving you breathless, people are left without energy. If it enters the heart or brain, you get symptoms mimicking a stroke or seizures. That Bernie Mac kept going and entertained so many for so long is a testament to the kind of man he was and the therapeutic quality of Prednisone.

Xanax is a prescription pill given to you for the treatment of anxiety and the subsequent disorders of anxiety. If you suffer from excessive, unrealistic worries, and you are constantly nervous around others or in certain situations, you may be a sufferer of anxiety. Marked by nervousness, and apprehension that may be unexplainable, anxiety attacks or panic attacks occur without any warning. While the sufferer may be feeling fear for nothing at all, the perceived danger is extremely real to the person experiencing it. Because of this, anxiety is a disorder that should always be taken seriously, especially if the sufferer has any family history of mental illness or other disorders. With the help of your family physician, you can learn to live your life without worry or anxiety. There are many different types of anxiety. These include the inability to be around crowds, new people, or new places. With the help of Xanax you can slowly become less inclined to having attacks. Soon, you will be able to understand the way your body reacts to crowds, people, places, and anything unfamiliar so that you can take the doses as needed or properly as prescribed by your doctor. Xanax is prescribed to mainly treat any form of anxiety. This may include the treatment of panic attacks and irritable bowel syndrome. Your doctor will be able to determine what your needs are and prescribe you the doses accordingly. You can also take Xanax for extreme anxiety disorders which may include agoraphobia. Be sure to follow the doctor’s prescriptions exactly as they are ordered so that you do not suffer the more extreme cases of withdrawal. Side effects of Xanax may include changes in weight, decreased libido, fatigue, impaired coordination in addition to others. There are also food allergies that should be considered when you take Xanax. Overdosing on Xanax is possible if you are not careful and if you think an overdose has occurred, call your emergency doctor immediately. Begin slowly with Xanax and see how you feel. Once you have been able to reap the benefits of this medication, you will be able to live life again.

Ask anyone with back pain and they are likely to tell you a story about what they were doing when they were “injured”. It is often something trivial. I twisted awkwardly as I was getting out of the car or as I was lifting the bag of groceries out of the trunk. When the individuals are more sporty, they may tell you about the tennis match they were on the point of winning or the strikes they were racking up at the bowling alley. But the fairly consistent theme is that pain always follows an injury.

But, more often than not, this confuses cause and effect. Most of the time we have a condition that is slowly reducing our mobility. In everyday life, we go about our business without any awareness until there is a single twist or turn that brings the problem to our attention. This is not to deny that some people do have traffic accidents in which their necks and spine are damaged, or play sports and pick up injuries. But, most people have a moment when the minor problem becomes more obvious. It is easy to link the cause of the pain with the event and not recognize that the pain has been slowly creeping up on us for months.

What happens then? Well, a lot of money has been spent to convince people that pain is a serious problem. No, really. Even though you might think it is obvious, pharmaceutical companies have to teach you that you solve the problem of pain by buying a medication like ultram. Wherever you look, advertisements sell the idea of science as the best treatment for pain. And there is a lot of science that backs up this idea. Thousands of people have been through clinical trials for medications like ultram and have reported reductions in pain with few side effects. This is all intended to reassure the public. “Look”, it says, “you don’t have to walk around like you’re treading on eggshells. We know pain is terrible but you don’t have to be afraid anymore. Just take this pill.”

But what used to happen in the “good old days”? Well, when the pain got bad enough, a lot of people used to take opiates like laudanum - a tincture of opium. It was notoriously addictive and many would only consider using it when there were no alternatives. The rest of the time, people lived with the pain. This is not what modern capitalism wants us to remember. The pharmaceutical industry needs us to keep refilling the medicine cabinet. But pain management was as much art as science. It varied from relaxation techniques to reduce tension in the muscles and to control fear (when you anticipate pain, fear magnifies the slightest twinge), to religious groups like the Christian Scientists who believed you can transcend pain through prayer.

Now let us be clear. There are some painful conditions like arthritis which so disrupt life that using ultram or an equivalent is entirely appropriate. However, the more quickly you reach for the pills, the less effect they will have over time. Tolerance reduces the effectiveness of almost every medication. So looking at alternatives to painkillers is a good idea if you know that you condition is chronic, i.e. likely to last for some time.
