Drinking water or poison?
2008-03-16 11:30:00 Recent news form AP different dangerous Drugs found in drinking water. As the report says A vast array of pharmaceuticals — including antibiotics, anti-convulsants, mood stabilizers and sex hormones — have been found in the drinking water supplies of at least 41 million Americans, an Associated Press investigation shows.To be sure, the concentrations of these pharmaceuticals are tiny, measured in quantities of parts per billion or trillion, far below the levels of a medical dose. Also, utilities insist their water is safe.But the presence of so many prescription drugs and over-the-counter medicines like acetaminophen and ibuprofen — in so much of our drinking water is heightening worries among scientists of long-term consequences to human health.These drugs get into the water everyday.

Licenses, Scanners Could Be Used to Track Drinking Habits
2008-01-21 20:22:00 The rising practice of scanning electronic drivers' licenses at bars and restaurants could be used to track drinking and dining habits, Technology writer Jem Matzen began looking more closely at the practice of license scanning following an incident at a Houstons restaurant where his license was scanned by a waitress without his permission. "It's one thing when a government representative scans your driver's license; it's another thing entirely when a restaurant does it, and records your personal information in the process," he wrote.Officials at the company which owns Houstons told Matzen that the license was scanned for his own protection -- to detect false IDs -- but also said that scanning also protects the restaurant by preventing service to underage drinkers.Upon a second visit to the restaurant, Matzen refused to allow a waitress to walk away with his driver's license and scan it; as a result, he was refused service.Security expert Brian Scheier said that there is not mu...

Marijuana Smoke More Toxic than Cigarettes
2007-12-21 05:18:00 Are you a Marijuana or Cigarette smoker? Then you should betted know that Marijuana is more dangerous than Cigarettes . Recent researches shows that almost every Marijuana smokes less than Cigarette smokers. But thats not a good sign either. Researchers who compared marijuana smoke to tobacco smoke found that ammonia levels were 20 times higher in the marijuana smoke, and that hydrogen cyanide and nitrogen-related chemicals also were more prevalent in the marijuana smoke. The latter likely came from fertilizer used to grow the marijuana, which came from Canada. Unlike tobacco, however, marijuana smoke does not contain the addictive drug nicotine. New research finds that smoking three or four marijuana cigarettes a week for six years could harm lung function and destroy antioxidants that protect cells against heart disease and cancer.SO SMOKERS YOU SHOULD QUIT BOTH More About: Smoke , Toxic

Abstinence Strongest Strategy for Sustained Recovery
2007-12-02 21:11:00 Almost all addiction starts from alcoholism. Recent studies reports that the best chance to sustain ones recovery is to completely abstain from alcohol consumption. Overall, the study found that people in recovery who were abstainers at the beginning of the study were least likely to relapse during the three years reviewed (2002-2005). Fifty-one percent of asymptomatic risk drinkers (people who did not have abuse or dependence symptoms, but who drank more than the recommended guidelines to avoid relapse) experienced a recurrence of alcohol dependence symptoms. But researchers discovered that abstaining worked best for those over 25. More About: Recovery , Strategy , Abstinence

Deadly Drink="Alcohol + EnergyDrinks"
2007-11-07 15:47:00 College students often mix alcohol with energy drinks so that they can drink more and longer, researchers say, but the strategy can lead to more alcohol-related injuries, too.students who mixed alcohol and drinks like Red Bull had double the risk of being hurt or injured, requiring medical attention, driving with an intoxicated driver, being taken advantage of sexually, or taking advantage of another sexually.Its surprising that the risk of serious and potentially deadly consequences is so much higher for those who mixed energy drinks with alcohol, even if we adjust the amount of alcohol. Only the symptoms of drunkenness are reduced -- but not the drunkenness. They can't tell if they're drunk; they can't tell if someone else is drunk. So they get hurt, or they hurt someone else. Mixing is more prevalent among males, whites, older students, intramural athletes, and fraternity/sorority members and pledges. More About: Drink , Alcohol , Deadly

The researchers did not find a link between prescription drug abuse and use of illegal drugs like marijuana or cocaine.Seven percent of college students have used prescription stimulants for non-medical purposes over their lifetimes and 4 percent have used in the past year.The study also found that students who use prescription stimulants non-medically are more likely to abuse other substances such as alcohol, marijuana, ecstasy and cocaine. Non-medical prescription stimulant users were over 20 times more likely to report cocaine use in the past year and over five times more likely to report driving after heavy drinking than college students who had not used prescription stimulants non-medically.The study was supported by grants from the Robert...

Do not take YABA.
2007-10-30 09:01:00 Yaba(Crazy medicine, pronounced yar bah)Recently in my country (Bangladesh) Yaba is becoming a great threat to the young people. Many young boys and girls want to cure them selves from Yaba addiction. But its not that simple. If u take it like 5-6 weeks then it’s all over. You can’t return from it. You will become like a mindless puppet. You will get addicted after only taking 10-15 pills. Then you will have to increase the number of it to fulfill your addiction. It means YOU ARE DEAD.Yaba Information:Originally manufactured by the Nazis to help keep their troops awake for days, Yaba has become increasingly popular in the Far East amongst claims that the drug is now bigger than heroin in Thailand. Yaba is a derivative of synthetic amphetamines such as speed and can be manufactured far more quickly and easily than traditional forms of amphetamine. The recipe has spread from the Far East by word of mouth and on the Internet (no, don't ask us). We've experienced some difficulty g...

2007-10-27 10:17:00 Marijuana sounds groovy. But name is not the factor. Even the look. In kill bill vol-1 there was a school girl looked so sweet but was an ultimate killer. Marijuana is not so different. It looks like ordinary green thing but a Illegal drug.Some of the common physical effects of marijuana include:Tremors Nausea Headache Worsening coordination Breathing problems Increased appetite Reduced blood flow to the brain Changes in the reproductive organs Like tobacco, marijuana contains many chemicals that can hurt the lungs and cause cancer. One marijuana cigarette can cause more damage to the lungs than many tobacco cigarettes, because marijuana has more tar in it and is usually smoked without filters. Unpleasant side effects from marijuana occur in about 40 to 60 percent of people who use marijuana. More About: Cool

Seems in past few months it is difficult to read a newspaper or watch the news without hearing that a public figure - be it a famous athele, film actor, or professional musician - has checked into a drug rehabilitation clinic. The recent plight of Britney Spears serves as a prominent example of feeding such media frenzy. She lost her shines, glory, and she even said that "I dont belive Jessus". Its all because Drugs. She shaved her head. She completely lag behing of her celebrity title. Few days ago she appeared MTV Video Music Awards in Las Vegas! and picking the outfit for her ill-received VMA performance, Spears has been painted as an artist-as-island.
