Question by Niki M: Why is it advised to ask a doctor about taking Dayquil if you have a Thyroid Disease?
I have Graves’ Disease and am in remission right now. My thyroid is functioning normally. I have taken two doses of Vick’s DayQuil and just read on the back to ask a doctor before taking this product if you have a Thyroid Disease. Does anybody know why this is?
Best answer:
Answer by sal1970 it is not recommended that people with thyroid problems take any products with pseudoephedrine or natural ephedra, ingredients that are sometimes found in natural weight loss, energy and cold remedies. There are anecdotal reports of people with thyroid disease becoming extra-sensitive to stimulants like caffeine, pseudoephedrine or ephedra.
this applies to phenylephrine, the decongestant found in DayQuil.
In the old days they would just use a herb to lower cholesterol levels naturally. But today with the aid of science and technology, the active ingredients of these herbs are studied with the objective of copying its said effects and multiplying its efficacy a hundred times over. Of course the results are synthetically manufactured.
The problem with synthetic ingredients or more commonly known as statin drugs is that it is bound to creep up on your health sooner or later. There were known reports of liver failure or liver malfunction, muscle problems, myopathy, rhabdomyolysis, memory lapses, depression, irritability, psychosis, muscle pain, peripheral neuropathy, sleep problems, sexual function problems, fatigue, dizziness, swelling, shortness of breath, vision changes, changes in temperature regulation, head aches, joint pains, stomach upsets, changes in weight, breast enlargement, ringing in ears or other noises, blood sugar changes, hunger pangs, dry skin, rashes, bleeding, changes in blood pressure and queasiness. There is also probabilities f drug interaction if taken with other medications. Suicidal tendencies have also been reported.
With all the adverse effects from statin drugs people are turning to herb to lower cholesterol. Even though it may not have the swift effects on bringing down cholesterol levels it is less risky to one’s health. Having high cholesterol levels is a problem that occurs to any race and nationality. Millions of people around the world regardless of status suffer from high levels of cholesterol in their system.

The herbs are a combination of different cultures over the centuries. With applied science and advance research the main components that drag cholesterol levels down are isolated and concentrated in pill forms that can be easily taken to accommodate certain lifestyles.
These herbs are:
Garlic – aside from using it to spice up a few home-cooked dishes it has been found that a single clove of garlic a day can lower bad cholesterol levels by as much as 15 percent. It has a blood thinning effect which improves blood circulation. it can also effectively reduce triglyceride and blood pressure.
Guggul or gugulipid – a resin from a myrrh tree that originates from India has the probability to effectively drag your LDL cholesterols down by as much as 27 percent. Taking 25 mg of the extract three times a day is sufficient enough to do the job. It can also reduce blood sugar and insulin levels as well as lower blood pressure.
Coriander – this native herb from southern Europe and North Africa to Southwest Africa has been found to have a hypolipidemic effect that can lower triglycerides and total cholesterol levels. It can also increase high density lipoproteins. The synthesis of the bile by the liver has been increased due to this effect which enhances cholesterol breakdown in the digestive system which is later excreted from the system.
Artichoke Leaf – the extract from this plant part holds the cholesterol lowering responsible elements cybarin and luteolin.
There is literally more than a handful of certain herb to lower cholesterol levels.

Question by daniel b: What could pain in my back from taking a deep breath mean?
I have been experiencing back pain (localized to the middle-to-upper right region of my back) all day, especially when I take a deep breath. I’ve also noticed I get the pain when I move my right arm in certain directions, as well as if I twist my back to the right or left. But the pain is the worst when I take a deep breath. Could this just be a muscle strain? I’m not sure if pain from a muscle strain can be felt from taking a deep breath. Any advice and/or information would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Best answer:
Answer by Sabeena There is a chance that you subluxated (partially displaced) a rib. This usually happens in the back from a traumatic incident, and can cause restricted and painful breathing. You also might have strained or bruised an intercostal muscle, located between the ribs. Either one would cause the symptoms you’re describing.
A chiropractor might help, as well as alternating heat and ice on the area. Start with 10 minutes of heat, end with 10 minutes of ice.
Gentle deep breathing exercises can help a displaced rib readjust. Follow the procedure in the link below, except only breathe in to the point where you experience NO pain. You will find that you can breathe in deeper the more you do it.
Dr. Steven Edelman and Dr. Ian Blumer discuss how technology is changing diabetes management. Artificial intelligence, non-invasive blood glucose testing, insulin delivery mechanisms, CGM, open and closed loop systems and developments in the formulation of medications are all areas of technological innovation that will make diabetes management more safe and effective until cures for type 1 and type 2 diabetes are found.
