How to Cure Hangover

You’ve enjoyed the whole evening sloshing about in alcohol and now in the morning, you’ve got a hangover. So, now what… ?

Prevention is the best cure. Simply avoid alcohol and you’ll never ever get a hangover. Drinking in modration also helps.

Mix alcohol with fruit juice or tonics and drink slowly. Drink alcohol with a meal, as it reduces the concentration of alcohol in your stomach.

When people drink and eat simultaneously, less alcohol is absorbed into their blood stream. Therefore, more of it gets metabolized by the liver and the stomach before it reaches the blood.

There are many traditional methods to cure a hangover. Many of them will help you cope with the condition by replenishing the vitamins and water you lost overnight.

There isn’t a one size fits all kind of cure. You may need to try different remedies before you know which works best for you, sort of trial and error.

To be perfectly honest there are few options that actually bring relief. Time is truly the only cure for a hangover. If no more alcohol is consumed, hangover symptoms normally decrease between 8-24 hours.

But wait, all is not lost, there are things you can do to relieve some of the most severe symptoms.

Introduction

Curative care is one component of health programmes. It is important to remember that the other components also need to be developed. These components include programmes focusing on: palliative care (including pain control), psychological support, prevention (including the Expanded Programme of Immunization (EPI), maternal-child health etc.), nutrition, water, hygiene and sanitation.

I. The objectives of curative care programmes

• At an individual level: to cure the patient of disease and to minimize or prevent the consequences for the individual and those in close contact (i.e. preventing transmission when possible).
• At a population level: to reduce the mortality and the consequences of morbidity of the most prevalent and important diseases in the population. – For certain endemic diseases (tuberculosis, leprosy, trypanosomiasis etc.): curative care can reduce transmission if a large enough proportion of the population is treated. Often, this objective is only achieved through specific control programmes which are not extensively discussed in this manual.

II. Strategy
When defining a strategy for a medical intervention, medical decision makers must take into account the priority diseases: those with the highest frequency and mortality. Priority diseases vary with context (conflict, natural disasters, etc.) and geographical region. Nevertheless, there is a relatively standard epidemiological profile with quantitative variations. An initial assessment, both qualitative (disease distribution) and if possible quantitative (mortality, incidence, prevalence and case fatality), is still necessary. This evaluation identifies the most common diseases (diarrhoea, measles, acute respiratory tract infections, malaria, wounds etc.) and the population groups exposed and at risk (children under 5 years, pregnant women).

These diseases and populations constitute the priority ‘targets’ of a programme. For rehabilitation programmes and programmes to support pre-existing health structures, detailed information is sometimes available from the health structures or from the Ministry of Health. The evaluation consists of assessing the information available and filling in any missing data.

In very isolated contexts or when there is population displacement, no information is available and it is always necessary to do a complete assessment.

Once the priority diseases are identified and health policy, means and resources (list of essential drugs, Ministry of Health protocols, staff and level of training, health services, functioning programmes etc.) are known, programmes can be defined and initiated. This manual and the manual, Essential drugs – practical guidelines, are tools to help in the definition and implementation (protocols, training, retraining) of curative programmes.

The Medical and Psychological Concerns of Cancer Survivors After Treatment

The medical and psychological effects of cancer and its treatment have been recognized for many years, but it is only recently that survivorship is coming to be recognized as a distinct phase of the cancer trajectory. Findings from research studies that have tracked the health and well-being of individuals long after cancer treatment has ended have identified risks that both the survivors and their health care providers should recognize. Advances in knowledge of how to manage conditions that arise in the post-treatment period have led to the development of some guidelines for health care providers to follow. The survivorship period provides many opportunities to improve the health and quality of life of cancer survivors. This chapter begins with a general overview of the potential medical and psychological consequences of cancer and its treatment. Brief descriptions are then provided on the late effects associated with four cancer types (breast, prostate, colorectal, and Hodgkin’s disease) as well as information on the need for services to ameliorate them. Lifestyle issues of interest to cancer survivors are reviewed—smoking cessation, physical activity, nutrition and diet, healthy weight, and the use of complementary and alternative medicine. The chapter concludes with a review of the committee’s findings and recommendations.

Most individuals infected with the AIDS virus have no symptoms and feel well for a long time before eventually developing such symptoms as fever and night sweats, weight loss, swollen lymph glands in the neck, the underarms and groin area, sever fatigue or tiredness, diarrhea, white spots or unusual blemishes in the mouth. These symptoms are also symptoms of a number of other illnesses and that should be taken into consideration. Anyone with any of these symptoms for more than two weeks should not panic buy should consult their doctor.

The AIDS virus is not spread through normal daily contact at work, school or home. There have been no cases found where the virus has been transmitted by casual contact with AIDS patients in the home, workplace, or health care setting.

There is an antibody test that detects antibodies to the AIDS virus that causes the disease. The body produces antibodies that try to get rid of bacteria, viruses, or anything else that is not supposed to be in the bloodstream. The test may show if someone has been infected with the AIDS virus. While the testing procedure is considered accurate, it does not tell who will develop full-blown AIDS.

If the swine flu outbreak became a pandemic, it would have a big impact on NHS services and our daily lives. The national framework includes making sure that the NHS is as prepared as it can be, and that treatment would reach people as soon as possible. It aims to protect the public by minimising disruption and the spread of the infection.

Antivirals

One of the ways to lessen the symptoms of pandemic flu is to treat infected people with antiviral medicines, which have been used against the current swine flu. The UK has stocks of these medicines and there is enough to treat up to half the population should they become ill during a pandemic, which is a reasonable worst-case scenario. However, the drugs must be administered at an early stage to be effective.

Testing has shown that the swine flu can be treated with the antiviral medicines oseltamavir (brand name Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza).

Antivirals will help to:

• reduce the length of time you are ill by around one day
• relieve some of the symptoms
• reduce the potential for serious complications such as pneumonia

Antivirals will not cure you, but they lessen the symptoms and help you to recover.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Recognized By The Chinese GovernmentAlthough almost all of the traditional Chinese anti-cancer medicine claims to be‍”a secret prescription handed down in the family from generation to generation”, theseries of “Tian Xian” medicine such as the Tian Xian Liquid and Tian Xian pill have‍undergone strict tests and research of its pharmacological action. With long-term clinicalexperiments done on a large scale and with approval from cancer patients, it has been‍nationally recognized as the traditional Chinese anti-cancer medicine.

Developed from Chinese medical and pharmaceutical theories, the series of Tianxian medicine falls into the category of “complex han prescription”. Specifically, the‍series of Tian Xian medicine abides by the theories of promoting the circulation of qi {atherapeutic method to relieve stagnation of qi by using medicines that regulate it};‍ promoting blood circulation by removing blood stasis (a method using blood-activatingand stasis-eliminating medicine); dissolving hard lumps, softening and dissolving hard‍masses (a therapy for the accumulation of phlegm and blood stasis); clearing away heatand toxic materials; eliminating dampness and removing phlegm; and removing necrotic‍tissues and promoting granulation (a method used to remove putrid tissues and promotegrowth of new tissues). The medicine pays special attention to the direct attack on cancer‍cells.

On the other hand, due to its direct attack on cancer cells as well as its effect onthe elimination of pathogenic factors, Tian Xian medicine also provides such functions as‍strengthening the spleen and stomach (improving and protecting the digestive system);invigorating the liver and reinforcing the kidney (supplementing the functions of both the‍liver and the kidneys and nourishing the liver too); restoring qi and enriching the blood;regulating yin and nourishing yang (for body balance), etc. In this manner, the original‍immunity of the body against cancer will be restored and the vital qi will be cultivated.

If during the course of a cold you feel well rested and your flame is around catering, andyou are in the mood, why not? Threats of any kind would not be imposed on the‍establishment nor would it cause the human race any harm. Let the virus revel in triumph for aday or two. It may even be medically justified if the temptation endures and keeps interfering‍with your sleep.

In regard to your immediate family, insist on the exercise of the method even if theythink you are a lunatic. That’s what my wife thought I was at the be-ginning. If I force-dropped‍vitamin C solution in our child’s nose, it had to be done when she was not around. Herresponse to my confession always came with the accusation that my treatment of the child‍would shame a fiend.

But her anger always subsided after she saw the quick improvement of the child’scondition. Now she is a practitioner of the method herself. My ninety-one-year-old mother,‍with quick injections of vitamin C and gamma globulin shots became immune.

At the onset, I repeat, the VC wash gives you time till you reach someone who couldgive you the injections. For old people the VC wash is not mandatory if the wash, with its‍temporal discomfort, is too much for the old person.

When feeling not clean, by all means, take a bath. But not the type that would strainyou. Don’t sit in a hot tub for a half-hour. Don’t shower with very hot water so your body‍sweats afterward to get rid of the excess heat. That is strain.

Take a short shower with lukewarm water and shampoo you hair, too, if you have anelectric hair-dryer. Make your hair absolute dry after washing. Make sure your room is warm‍put on fresh, dry underwear and pajamas, go to bed, and cover your self to the chin. Put on ahome head wear of any kind if you have it, but take it off as soon as you feel your head is‍about to sweat.

Taking a shower as described makes your skin breathe and on the whole makesyou feel good. Taking a bath during a cold is good, provided you don’t go around doing‍house-chores.
