Painkillers and Boob jobs - What is the best mix - Anne Nicole Smith

In terms of Medical advice, how can you prescribe 10 different painkiller simultaneously?
Does anyone have the actual list of the medication she was on? I would love to see some of the stuff she was taking.
If your boob job hurts, isn't maybe because the BooBs are tooooo Big?!? I don't know.
Is there a law suit against the doctor for prescribing or not.... no accusations yet until a court decides.... all those pain killers? 10 painkillers.... that is insane....

OK question ----- Have you ever received advice in regards to pain killers?

I very recently did.... I love taking a cocktail of aspirin and paracetamol before I go out for ...... cocktails. I was just told not to mix paracetamol and aspirin... My paediatrician used to give me paracetamol and aspirin.... I do not understand. maybe its the mixing with booze that isn't right.

Next question ----- What is the best pain killer to mix with booze? ahhhhh that's a good question. Any advice?

The web is full of weird and dumb advice, here is a the best top 5 bad tips for beautiful skin... Oh my lord:
1- To remove eye wrinkles:"take 2 sardines and place under each eye and leave for 10-15 minutes or longer, you can place them on the eye lids to reduce the wrinkles and tighten skin."... yuck!
2- For Baggy eyes: "Got baggy eyes? Dab some Preparation H hemorrhoid cream on the bags and watch them shrink". I would love to know what the longer term effects and health consequences on your skin are?!?
3- Smooth skin: "This lady discovered that Hellmans Mayonnaise works great for facials when applied every night for 30 minutes before washing face". How a bout Miracle Whip? BLT anyone?
4- For silky smooth hands: "Pour a spoonful of homey into the palm of your hand and add a spoon of sugar now massage the mixture in your hands for 10 minutes. Rinse. Sounds weird but it works, then add lotion to your hands...". Seriously, is it the honey or the freekin' lotion you add at the end?
5- Beauty skin bath: "The best treatment is to sit in a goat's milk bath for 30 minutes and not rinse afterwards". Ok then, where did I leave those goats?... "here little goaty goaty..."

If you type "Hoodia pill" in Google you will get an endless list of online stores that sell this miracle online diet pill that "Naturally curbs your hunger". A dieters dream come true. With 66% of the American population overweight and 50% of the UK population borderline Obese this is a God send.
So what is Hoodia? Well why don't you go to Wikipedia and take look... I'm not going to paraphrase them, but basically it is a South American cactus who's natural effects include natural hunger suppression.
Back to our online example. The words "all natural" product, are consistently thrown as arguments for purchase. If you look at the advertised dosages it goes from 250mg to 10,000mg! Any alarm bells going off yet? Ask yourself, why hasn't the FDA approved this yet? Why do doctors not recommend this drug? Why can't you get this as a prescription drug even?
Surely if this was a drug with only positive effects, tested and proven for human consumption, the greedy pharmaceutical companies would be pimping this at every corner shop.

But it is Not, is it?

"But its natural!!!" So are Coca leaves chewed by Coca growers in Latin America... Do you know what Coca leaves do? They boost your metabolism, provide you with energy and.... wait for it.... suppress your hunger.... Oh and for all the people that are missing the point, Coca leaves are used to make cocaine. I lived and worked in Latin America for 9 years. Never heard of Hoodia then, did chew on Coca leaves... A bit bitter... did stop hunger... am not ordering them online though.

There isn't a single major pharmaceutical that is producing Hoodia either naturally or using its active molecules. Remember 80% of the worlds drugs come from molecules first discovered in plants, notably from rain forests.

Don't listen to all the advice you hear about natural products, especially those not endorsed and researched by doctors, government health agencies and the worlds pharmaceutical industry.

So our world is one big commercial con. Another Walmart Xmas has gone bye and another Year strolls in... Well at least you have this to make you smile and laugh and rejoice that there is still a bit of innocence in this world... Until we get a hold of it of course...

How does is make you feel to be part of the heard? Part of the masses or 98%? Do you actually feel special if you are part of the elite 2%?
Hopefully not, but we seem to be circled by tests and quizzes that box people in little forms. 5 numbers determine a persons personality, skills, mind set and even weaknesses.
This is a binary world, you are either in or out. You are a finger printed and you intellect is tagged by your grades, your CV and any other psycho test. Oh and make sure you do not have any relationships in the workplace... Where are we going with this? Taking the human outta humanity... Long live stereotyping and number...

I found a wonderfully saying that legitimises all the daft experimentation with dodgy advice a person can do... I love it.

"It's not because things are difficult that we don't dare;
It's because we don't dare that things are difficult."

-Seneque

The best worst piece of advice I have ever seen!
You have probably heard of the incredible effects of mixing Diet Coke and Mentos. If not, see the video below.
Now at the end of a party a friend has stomach pains. Too much junk food and booze. So another buddy has a bright idea. Basing his advice on the digestive effects of Coke, he proceeds to bring a very large glass of diet coke and a hand full of antacid tablets to the friend in pain.

"You have to chug this glass of Coke (diet Coke in fact) and swallow these 3 acid tablets (mentos)."

Gullible, well, drunk, the friend in pain drinks the Coke (diet coke) in a few gulp and proceeds to swallow the tablets (mentos).

I guess that the warning should read: "Do not try this on people you like"

It was like a painful geyser, jet powered nostrils, strong gagging effect as the foamy diet Coke poured out of his mouth and jetted out of the nostrils at least half a meter away! Incredible!

I have never laughed so long and hard. His eyes almost popped out like a cartoon. Do not do it to a sober person, he / she will kick your ass as this treatment is painful and kick starts a bit of vomiting... How cruel

Ok, holidays are here and means food, food and more food. Topped with bose, bose and more wine beer and champagne... This spells one thing: Digestion Hell!
So I have one amazing really good (this is the truth!) digestion settling, diarrhea stop tip:
I used to work as a chef in a 5 star hotel in Caracas, Venezuela. This is one of the best tropical countries of Latin America with the greatest tropical fruit. Well every day I had loads of fresh foods and tons of fresh juice. 3 days into this food heaven, my gut was shot, stomach cramps and diarrhea galore. Ouch!
I am sitting at the bar one night (I lived in the hotel) and my stomach is in pain. So I call on Jesus, "Jesus help me!" so Jesus came over and asked. "So whats up?". Now this is Latin America and Jesus is the name of my good friend the barman. Its a common name down there. This is not a miracle in the making.
I explain my gastric situation to him and he tells me of a simple cure. He puts 2 shot glasses in front of me and fills both of them with Pernod. He instructs me to drink the full one now, straight no water added. Wait 45mn and take the second one. No eating or drinking anything 90minutes before or after the two shots.
Pernod is a brand of French liquor, it also goes under the name "Ricard" and they are all variations of the same basic recipe of "Pastis". Originally it was a medical beverage to cure... you guessed it... stomach cramps, indigestion and diarrhea. It is made from a concoction of over 15 different natural herbs. The basis is from Anis. Its strong but the effects are amazing.
The next day... cured... felt great, amazing... perfect... so I had a large glass of fresh pineapple juice... yummmmy! So grab a bottle of "Pastis" for the holidays.... you'll thank me for it. Or else, have it in summer, one doze with ice cubes in a tall glass with water. Delicious.
Enjoy the holidays.

Well its been... ah .. a week or so that I have included some grapefruits before every meal... and the results are in. "Blrghh". You have to picture the face and the nasty grin...
I figured that minus well get ready for the holidays and lose a bit of weight before having to tackle the 25lbs turkey, stuffing and 2 pints of cranberry jelly.
Other than managing insulin levels to control carb intake and so one... there are a number of effects that are not so nice. Adding an acidic fruit like the grapefruit kick started my digestion faster and made me much more hungry. Secondly, it screws up your digestive system. Seriously we are not designed to eat so many grapefruit all the live long day. After 4 daysof I had gas and diarrhea. Lame detox diet.
I think that the only weight loss result (lost a pound or two) is due to the fact that I was wearing heavier shoes and spent 4 hours on the toilet and perhaps reduced the carbs. (that is part of the diet as well). There is no point to the grapefruit diet. You can't sustain it, you have to buy a supply of adult diapers and your stomach just keeps on talking back to you in a gurgling way, day and night...

I guess if you have a PhD it gives you the right to go on television on morning shows and get free advertisement for your new latest book: The Anger diet, how to overcome anger in 30 days from Brenda Shoshanna. A friend showed me the book and I later found this video. It makes me want to scream, at my friend... "why oh why would you buy this book?".
This is like the western days with so called miracle doctors selling miracle ointments from cloth covered wagons. Please, fixing 24 forms of anger in 30 days? How can you be gullible and spend money on such forms of advice. "Give up a grudge", "stop gossiping", "don't judge people".
If life was as simple as this, if people were this simple, we would all be perfectly balanced and healthy beings.
I have a beef with this book and books like it. You are not going to fix 35 years... or more of mental and personalty issue on 30 days. That you try something that is free, that is your prerogative. When you hijack TV, magazines to pimp your simplistic arrogant product and try to sell it, you end up hurting more than you help. The more gullible and fragile a person is the harder the fall when the miracle 30 day book fails. I really do not like people like Brenda Shoshanna who's righteous beliefs and PhD allow them to make money off the weaker persons back.
