Natural Alternatives to Medicines

[ucicare]

I see people every day who are opposed to pharmaceutical medicines because of their danger, but they are willing to take "natural" remedies if any are available.

Anyone have any experience with "natural" treatments for depression, anxiety, AD/HD, etc?

cheer up, chill out and pay attention you crazy bastard *slap*

rumor has it, a little fresh air and vitamin d works miracles. or, it did before idustrialization..

Natural = not tested by the FDA.

Which is why I am not a fan of Natural remedies.

Of course the Vicodin and percoset seem to be pretty nice (well hydrocodone w/apap a,d oxycodone - DAMN HMO!!!!) ;D

I can think of one but you'd have to get Bugs drunk.

Ah.

Oh, by the way, would you please walk next door and shut my fence? I left it open over the weekend. No Kidding. My AD/HD was in full bloom.

I actually agree partly. I personally don't like the stuff, but I have seen lots of people that do OK on it. The problem is that it can't be dose regulated.

I suspect that if THC were synthesized and made into a timed release pill, it might have some efficacy in treating depression, anxiety, and maybe AD/HD.

Maybe.

I don't do it either I just know people who do and they always seem alright. I have actually thought about it. I never told you my Doctor finally solved my sleep problem in the most odd way.

He has me drinking a glass of wine before bed. So far it's worked were nothing else has.

No I still have your face taped to it and do awful things to it.

I hate to break this to you, but the pic Chester posted for your benefit (http://www.fuglyforums.com/index.php?topic=8688.msg139422#msg139422) isn't actually me.

You know I take a medication that is effected to a great degree by simply grapefruit juice which apparently has an enzyme which in turn blocks the liver from processing it out of the blood stream and increasing its effectiveness multiple times over. So I'm thinking why not take about a tenth the dose then and simply wash it down with grapefruit juice.

The only reason I brought that up is that I tend to think wine works in a similar way for me. I buy boxed wine cause it stores better unlike a bottle that you feel the need to finish just because you opened it. Now I have a pretty good assortment of alcohol at the house for me its mixed drinks, wine and on rare occasion beer. But for me wine has an immediate effect twice as fast as a strong mixed drink. And beer is not even on the radar. I like the buzz but not the headache. I would likely bee a wino were it not for the headache after words.

The good thing about pharmaceuticals to me is the consistency. One less variable to consider but as Barry pointed out possibly this is not the case. That is unfortunate.

Have you tried this stuff Dwaine? I used to enjoy pot a lot for the good attributes enhanced audio perceptions as well as others. I never understood the "get a chick drunk to loosen her up" idea any guy who practices that technique really needs to change his strategy. Get her stoned and it will be a lot better for both parties, plus she will remember and maybe that will explain why all her friends are all sweet on you within a week after words.

I wonder if Meridol does not have that annoying "fade in fade out" effect or the "holy shit why did I just waste half a day watching kid cartoons" effect.

[phatboy]

"holy shit why did I just waste half a day watching kid cartoons" effect.

I thought I was the only one.....<shame> ::) ::) ::)

But now I cant, with work and kids I feel this need to 'dad up' and live the whole 'do as I do' lifestyle.

You supposed to "Dad up," you low-expectation-having-mofo!!

And why is watching cartoons half a day considered "wasting" it? Cartoons and pop-up books are my primary sources of education.

Hey! Dont you judge mE!!!

I actually really enjoy my role, especially coaching Football and Baseball-even playing 'pocket bike racer' from burger king on the crack box.... ;D

I just had to give up on medicinal herbs.

yes I have. Stoners complain because they don't get high unless they take it and smoke a eighth at the same time. Non smokers get really high

Actually I'm just talking shit getting all Casanova seeing we got all these hot chicks in the forum with skin, tattoos and all sounding like Marilyn Monroe. Thought it may be worth a full shot. :P

So Dwaine I take it did not do shit for ya right? You know I got no excuse like Phat with the kid and all but as for me I'd prolly never have grown up had I not given that shit up, cause it's zero ambition for me when I'm on that crap. But it would be nice if they could synthesize the stuff for its worth while attributes. In the mean time for me it’s like every few years when I hook up with one of my old friends. I'm there though for the Fugly party when Lomo brings the brownies. I here they are the shit.

I have to agree with JOE, if there are known good attributes, why cant they break it down to a molecular level and create a similar product without the 'bad' side effects? The only ones I can really think of being memory loss and lack of ambition. I guess then society would be like on "Equilibrium" or Stephen King's "Calmative" (I think the short story was "There must be something in the water" about the water around Waco).

They can make a pill to make your dick hard, but they cant make one to relieve pain without making you comatose. go figure.

they can, it' just doesn't sell as well as the one that makes you comatose. Case in point, there is a new Oxycodone that does not have any narcotic side effects, it's $300 for a 30 month supply. a 30 month supply of generic percocet is $8

Yes, I just picked up some of the 8.00 oxycodone......and I only take it before bed(yea probably a waste...) but even the vicodin makes me loopy. Why is the non habit forming so high? You would think it would be cheaper without all the 'goodies'.....

Oh yeah ! That one also . :-\
