Patient discussion about dextro.

Q. Don’t I have the rights to take alcohol? Don’t I have the rights to take alcohol? You people are not letting me to consume peacefully. Why do you count alcohol as a drug?

A. Because we love and care about you. We want you to live long. Alcohol is a drug. It just happens to be legal to use and abuse it. Drugs are substances that alter some aspect of body function. So - for example, an antibiotic will help our immune system to kill bacteria; insulin will help a diabetic to control blood sugar levels; tranquillizers will depress brain activity and so reduce anxiety or assist sleep. Alcohol is a Central Nervous System depressant - it reduces activity in some of the higher brain centers. This can produce apparent stimulation by reducing anxiety and self-consciousness. So alcohol is a substance that can change the mental/emotional state of the user. It has a 'pay-off' in that it can temporarily remove mental or emotional discomfort - such as tension, anxiety, self-consciousness etc. A user will feel 'better'. So it's just another drug.

Q. if I use the home pregnancy tests and they fail to test right then what may be reason? Anyone tell me please that if I use the home pregnancy tests which are of good brand and they fail to test right then what may be reason?

A. there is no 100% accurate for any home test kit, but it is 99,...% sensitive. so if you fail the first test using that HCG test kit, you can just repeat that few days later, and if you still are having a doubt, go see your doctor for the confirmation.

the later you check the pregnancy, the higher the HCG level will be detected, and the result will be 'more' accurate.

Q. What kind of energy drink can I drink right before my workout? I need that extra kick at the end of the day. I work out after work but sometimes I'm a little tired. I would like something that would give me an extra boost to get me through my workouts. I'm not a morning person and that's why I don't work out in the mornings.

A. i tried the green tea- it's working but you need to drink a large amount (which is not bad- drinking a lot of fluids is good for you). i take 3 teaspoons of green tea leafs or 3 bags of green tea, pour boiling water on it, let it stay for about 5 minutes and then mix it in a 1.5 liter bottle of water (no sugar. then i have 1.5 liters of green tea. works like a charm (to me any way..).
