Enlighten_ME asked:


I am just wondering how are patients detailes stored on the GP’s Pc, or any of the NHS computers?
Is there a specific software which used MS Access, or some SQL Database?

Fall is coming, and like many teenagers, I’m wary of the swine flu as well as the usual flu risk. I’m in healthy shape, but I’d like to make sure my defenses are top notch. After some research I’ve compiled a list of substances that will supposedly be beneficial. I was just wondering if it is best to get these from natural sources or if its safe to take supplements, in what dosages, and if a combination of these substances is safe. They include -

Vitamin D - Absorbed from sun exposure but is also found in fish and available in supplements.

Resveratrol - Most highly concentrated natural source is grape skins, but some recommend taking a supplement.

Quercetin - Naturally occurring in red grapes, apples, and onions but can be taken as a supplement.

Beta Glucan - Found in oats and grains.

N-Acetyl Cysteine - Available as a supplement, clinically proven to boost resistance to influenza.

Vitamins B6 and E

Last but not least, the most popular, Vitamin C.

Are all of these safe for a teenager to take daily? If they are, what are the safe recommended dosages, and in what forms should they be consumed, be it natural or supplement forms?

Thanks!

About 8 Months Ago, I weighed in nearly 400 lbs and since then have dropped nearly 80 lbs by strictly Exercising and eating good wholesome foods. I am looking for some natural products from Mother Earth(Not Supplements), whether it be a plant, nut, food, just All Natural True Products, nothing that processed in a factory or manufactured, Just products for overall health, not to cure a specific problem, but I just need some additional ideas so I can switch up my diet and feel even better!(I already feel 100 times better than I did) If you could also tell me you suggestions and what they are useful for, that is helpful as well. I’m open to ANY Suggestions. Thank You!

it feels like my knees and fingers need some “oiling”. Just a little back ground on me. Mid 20’s. Male, Doesnt smoke or drink. Pretty decent health, diet and exercise regiment.

So about the joints. Something cheap…i’m not looking to sell the farm or anything. Just something cheap I can take for joint stiffness. That is a common drug store item. No wild goose chases. I heard fish oil is really good? But that’s why I’m asking you guys..

Thanks for any tips.

Kim Y asked:


Seems that I’m punished after most meals and have intestinal distress and a quick trip to the restroom takes place (mostly in the evening). I know I have lactose (milk) interolance, so I take aid for that, and fried foods can set me off.

What natural herbs, supplements, dietary aids are available from the natural vitamin / health food stores that seem to help with the digestive process? I’m tired of loosing what nutrician I am ingest and being angry with myself for even eating. Seems like I keep getting punished for eating over & over.

Any suggestions?

Healthyhilda, that is what I am thinking…I need some natural good flora bacteria’s introduced. I take a multiple B / time released to aid with the fried foods, but sometimes I still have to be careful. Now when I think of it…I remember my Grandpa would eat a small cake of yeast! each day (yep the type for baking), and swore by it. He felt that you needed a bowel mvmt every day or something was wrong. I’m not very consistant…
5 of you had ideal answers! How can I choose? Drat!!!!!!!!!!
I’m leaving it up to the Yahoo Community on this one.
Thanks to ALL for answering!
GREAT responses! Will try all suggestions, one at a time…

I know creatine substances not good for health, so wont take that. But i am PURE VEGEATARIAN, so can’t take eggs or meat. I am living out in hostel, away from home, so cant get home like nutrition from the food out here. Do protein supplements do any harm? YOU should have exprienced these substances to answer me. I know natural things r best, but will take me 2 years to build medium size chests and back muscles, and i want it little fast as well as safer. So am planning to buy simple albumen or whey protein supplements, if any harm then please tell me and suggest the best protein source accordingly. Presenlty i drink half litre milk after coming from gym in morning at 9 am.

Maybe asked:


I was thinking about buying some serotonin supplements at the health store, and I was wondering if there were any adverse effects of it? Does it supply you with serotonin, or does it trigger your brain to produce serotonin? If the second, will that cause your brain to deplete its natural supply of serotonin?
Has anyone ever bought any and can share if they’re worth the purchase/taking?

I have my Ph.D. in Natural Health. So many people come to me saying they had tried this supplement or that herb and got no results. People need to know what to look for, questions to ask, and how to determine if they really need a nutraceutical. People are throwing their money away by going to health food store and buying just “whatever” looks good or what they heard would help. Nutraceuticals are natural molecules that have real research behind them to know they cause a pharmaceutical effect. They must be active molecules and processed properly or they have no value to them. This is an area that the average person needs some knowledge about for their own health. Thanks for letting me post. Will I know if you decide to add this to your site??
Thanks,

I get them a lot, and really bad. But I don’t have health insurance, and over the counter medicine doesn’t help. Are there natural supplements or exercises or anything that help?

hopewishdream asked:


I have some mild depression and wanted to go the natural way instead of getting on a prescription. I’ve heard of flaxseed, fish oil because of the omega 3 fats and 5htp (hydroxytrptophan) I don’t know about “all” of the supplements you can take for depression these are just some of them, my question is: Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should take? And can you take a combination of them or just one thing? I’m going to the health store this weekend but just wanted other peoples opinions/suggestions. And also I know you cannot take these supplements for severe depression…..Thanks for any serious answers.
Also if you can take a combination of supplements for mild depression what would be a good combination and would it be ok to start out on a combination? Sorry so many questions but any good suggestions would help me, thank you!
