What are 3 risk prevention techniques to follow when you have been drinking, in order to reduce risk driving?
call a cab.

ask a buddy for a ride.

sleep it off under the pool table.
Reply:1. Don't drive.

2. Don't drive.

3. DON'T DRIVE!
Reply:There are no prevention techniques, when you have been drinking please, please do not drive! I have a young child and you would be putting yourself and everyone around you at risk!
Reply:call a taxi

call a friend

don't drink and drive
Reply:1. Give your keys to the bartender.

2. Have a DD pick you up so you don't have to drive back from someone else's house.

3. Install a breathalyzer in your car so it won't let you start it if you have alcohol on your breath.
Reply:I don't see how it's possible to over-complicate this one:

1. If you've been drinking -- don't drive.

2. If someone you're with has been drinking -- don't ride with them.

3. If everyone's drinking -- call someone you trust -- or walk.
Reply:Oh my God, are you serious? Don't drive. That's one, two, and three.

Drink lots of water to hydrate yourself before going to sleep and to prevent a hangover, which is caused by the dehydration from the alcohol.

But as far as driving, why risk killing someone's Mom? or any other innocent person? Catch a ride or sleep where you are.
Reply:1--Call a taxi

2--Call a friend

3--Give up your keys to a friend if you know you intend to drink

Oh, and 4--Don't drink and drive, that's stupid!

What is the best prevention of pregnancy without condom?
A preveention method commonly used today is counseling. Counseling will help give a better understanding and make the situation clearer. It will help give a better of the good and bad that comes along with it.Once the heartbeat of the baby is heard there is no preventing the pregnancy, but there are ways to learn how to deal with it. Young males should go through counceling as well as the females bnecause both males and females have equal responsibilitto the child or children.

It is important to know the seriousness of getting pregnant. Having a child is a big responsibility. It's a lifetime commitment. There are many different ways to prevent pregnancy when it's not intended.

Reply:birth control pills or the shot?
Reply:Abstinence!!!
Reply:Dead women can't get pregnant.
Reply:Castration?
Reply:Abstinence! If you don't want a child and don't want to use a condom. Don't have sex!!!!!! Birth control doesn't protect you 100% also doesn't protect from diseases.
Reply:well the best advice for you if you are in a committed relationship having sex is to find another form of birth control that just keeps you from getting pregnant. I had alot of success with the IUD. It lasts for 10 years and you can remove it if you want to get pregnant. IF you are having sex with multiple partners , then not only pregnancy is your main concern. IN that case I would use the male or the female condom and be thankful that I did not have to worry about diseases.
Reply:use implanon its an implatation hormone that prevents pregnancy for up to a year or more or depo-provera an injection that lasts three months
Reply:no intercourse is the best way, :)):)) . u may do WITHDRAWAL, or as usual go for IUD, nouva rings, patches. semicide,

If the female does not have hepatitis due to prevention shots but the male has b and c will the fetus have it?

2010-04-24T03:05:00.002-07:00

i just found out that i am pregnant and the father has both hepatitis b and c but i do not because i got the 3 prevention shots but i need to know since his sperm carries both if the fetus will automatically have both or any or what the chance of the baby being born with hepatitis b and or c. my prevention shots gave me an immunity but i did not receive the first prevention shot for hepatitis b until 3 months of constant contact with both hepatitis b and c.i am worried that my baby can be born with the viruses or birth defects.

If the female does not have hepatitis due to prevention shots but the male has b and c will the fetus have it?
I can't answer your question, but you should be getting prenatal care. What does your doctor say?
Reply:You are only protected against Hep B, there is no vaccine against Hep C. So your fetus is at risk of Hep C. You would need to undergo some blood tests to see if you have been infected, actually for both viruses, given that you received the shots after being in contact with the child's father. If you do have an infection, counseling will help you decide what is the best way to go and what are the risks for the baby. Good luck and take good care. E.

Internet credit card fraud prevention?

2010-04-24T03:05:00.000-07:00

I am setting up an online business. I am going to sell downloadable products that allow customers to receive merchandises as soon as they provide the necessary credit card information. It won't take long for a transaction to be completed. It, therefore, won't leave me any chance to apply fraud prevention methods such as matching billing address to ship-to address, address verification, IP address check etc...I was advised to ask for the Card Verification number along with the credit card number but I am just not sure if a hacker could obtain that info (CVV2, CVC2) from the credit card companies database. It looks like nothing is impossible for hightech crooks for I have seen a long list of credit card info posted in some forum so that anyone could use it to conduct fraud.

Could someone give me some advices on how to prevent internet credit card fraud. I need your expertise please. Thank you

Internet credit card fraud prevention?
Everything can be hacked, it's just a matter of time and effort. The best protection is to be proactive. Make sure that you are able to analyze everything about your data, including who accessed it, when it was accessed, and where. Never sacrifice speed for security, it does no good to have a fast service if everything is going to be compromised.

My first source includes a website that trys to break in to your website and points out holes in your security and how to prevent credit card fraud. The rest are just informational links but worth a look. Hope this helps.

Is there a cure/ prevention for bloating?

2010-04-24T03:04:00.002-07:00

I have IBS and I am a small person but I look pregnant about every time I eat because I bloat so bad. Is there a cure/ prevention? Perhaps a certain type of food I should avoid?

Anything helps. Thank you.

Is there a cure/ prevention for bloating?
Get your sodium intake waaayyy down, sometimes a diuretic is helpful. Stay away from sodas, drink water instead of canned drinks of any sort. I think greasy foods also tend to make you bloat. I have GERD, and I bloat just like you do. Avoidance is the best way, but if you get too much salt and sodium, potassium and preservatives like you find in wines and beers, or packaged foods and deli meats, you will bloat. Stay away from lactic acid - and sodium lactate - both make me bloat. They are found in bacon, some canned drinks, deli meats and the like. Drink lots of water if you are bloated, believe it or not that's the only way to get the sodium out of your system. Gatorade is a no-no.
Reply:I recommend keeping a food journal and noting when you bloat up. It will help you to determine what foods are causing you to bloat up. Drinking the right amount of water for your size also helps with bloating. Remember to talk to your doctor too about your bloating.

Walk away the pounds by Leslie Sansone (Dvds are at places like Target) is pretty good. It's very low-impact but it can be high-intensity and since you use weights (if you choose), you're toning as well. Make sure you stretch before and after and drink plenty of fluids.

Peer Education; Suicide Prevention presentation, help?

2010-04-24T03:03:00.001-07:00

I'm in a Peer Education class where we give advice and guidance to underclassmen about pregnancy, domestic violence, drugs, etc. We're doing a presentation on suicide prevention tomorrow for a few freshman classes and I'm supposed to come up with some kind of "energizer" to get the kids interested in the subject before we start the actual presentation.

All I could think of was doing something with statistics and making into some kind of game. I don't know. I don't want to mess this up because it's a touchy subject to work with and I don't want to offend anyone. So, I'm asking for your help, what should I do to grab their attention?

Peer Education; Suicide Prevention presentation, help?
Maybe you could mention something in pop culture. The television show Desperate Housewives is narrated by a character who kills herself in the pilot episode. In the latest episode, there were many references to suicide, and an older lady tried to kill another character and make it look like suicide.

I don't know if that's the kind of thing you're looking for, but good luck!

What are relapse prevention programs?

2010-04-24T03:03:00.000-07:00

I heard my aunt and a counselor talking about a relapse prevention program. I have no idea what they're discussing. Does anyone know what that is? See, my cousin John is going out of rehab in a couple of days and I think it has something to do with it but I really don't understand a thing. Help me please!

What are relapse prevention programs?
Relapse prevention programs were made to help a previous alcoholic or drug addict continue on with their recovery. They are special programs that helps people to deal with stress and problems better so that they will not go back to drinking alcohol or abusing drugs again. Some relapse prevention programs include family therapies, group discussions, spiritual lectures, anger-management classes and other fun activities. This just means that the counselor and your aunt are discussing ways to ensure your cousin's full recovery.

HELP: free condoms for HIV/AIDS prevention events?

2010-04-24T03:02:00.003-07:00

Hi Guys,

I was wondering where I can get free condoms for distribution on the HIV/AIDS prevention event in a small community. I have asked major condom manufacturers and charities but so far have not succeeded. There are places such as family clinics etc. but i can't seem to find any sponsor that will provide large amount of condoms and/or HIV/AIDS prevention materials (for distribution)

Reply:i dont know maybe you could try family planning clinics and you local docter i dont know if this would work but yes hope this helps
Reply:If you are from the United States, I am sure you can speak to your county health department about sponsoring the event by providing condoms. I am sure they would be willing to help. I would also like to say that I commend you on putting together a HIV/AIDS prevention event. That is a very worthy cause! Good Job, and keep up the good work!

Kohl's Loss Prevention or Target Assets Protection..?

2010-04-24T03:02:00.001-07:00

Okay.. So I'm currently working for Target Assets Protection and just got offered a job at Kohl's as Loss Prevention.. I have been doing AP at Target for quite some time although I'm not so much satisfied with the pay.

Anyone know how much Kohl's LP pays?? That's just for a regular LP Agent..

And which is better in general?? I know nothing about Kohl's LP and how they operate. All I know is that the supervisor who talked to me about the job was all cut up at the face.

Can someone please fill me in on some info???

No stupid comments please.

Thanks in advance.

Kohl's Loss Prevention or Target Assets Protection..?
you should way out the benefits you have at your current position against the benefits you will have at Kohl's i.e. pay, 401k, vesting in the company match etc,,, if you are happy at your current position it is wiser to stay where you know the routine and try to advance where you are as moving lateral is not always a good move,,, if bored with your current position ask your manager for extra duties, whats the next level for your position maybe you can do 1 day at another store like a floater maybe that would give you more responsibility!? remember once you leave a company they may not want you back should it not go well at the other place!!

About baldness and prevention.?

2010-04-24T03:02:00.000-07:00

hi guys,i am 19 years old male experiencing problem with my hair.they are showing sign they are gonna be bald,since they are already thinning,and I'm just 19 years for god sake.

I know that they falls 50-100 everyday,but they still regrow,so basically no loss right.I can't keep track on how much mine fall everyday but everytime I take a shower I notice they fall about 4-6,could be more..when I woke up they fall about 3-4.then if this amount still normal could it be

1.the hair I couldn't keep track falls rapidly than I could imagine

2.the regrowing hair is insufficient or maybe not growing at all

I also notice that if I didn't wash my hair too long until they got oily,they become more likely fall,thats why I always wash my hair EVERY 12 hours or around that.is it right?

yeah so that's my symptoms please also give your opinion,view,anything and above all suggestion on prevention,from natural vitamin to tonic would do.

About baldness and prevention.?
Don't wash your hair more than once a day because it will damage the root follicle's and the scalp itself. Also it is completely common for hair to fall out a certain amount each day. However stress, and malnutrition can lead to more excessive hair loss. So keep that in mind and check your diet for balanced nutrition, try to de-stress as much as you can. And don't worry about it so much. One of my older brothers started to have the same problem, and he doesn't have any problems getting chicks. lol. Hang in there. Besides, you wouldn't believe how many bald guys there are out there. It's like a trend.
Reply:i never found anything to stop the hair loss.iam 58 and i lost my hair on top of my head when i was 21.its not that bad,and some women love a bald guy.
Reply:I don't know how bad your hair loss is, but at 19, I'm assuming that you have reason to think that you'll be bald by 25 or so. If that's the case, then change your diet so that your food intake enriches the hair. Vitamin C, vitamin B complex, protein, and zinc are recommended by nutritionist for healthy hair. Stay away from fatty foods.

Then, start using shampoos that are designed to nourish the scalp. Nioxin comes to mind. Do these for a year or so. If no improvement, then use Rogaine or minoxidil.

Hope that helps.
Reply:OK... keep a short, short hair cut.

Keep it clean.

Eat properly... a well balanced NUTRITIONAL diet... malnutrition contributes to hair loss.

And if you have the habit...QUIT SMOKING!! Beliefve it or not it affects EVERY cell in your body and inhibits growth hormones.
Reply:my hubbie started going bald young just keep it shaved or nicely trimed and woman do find it sexy as long as it is not combed to the side
Reply:SOmeone told me once that a folic acid supplement helps hair loss
Reply:You may have hormonal problems. consult doctor.
Reply:Not an expert but from what I have seen is baldness is mostly hereditary, aside from that, I have noticed that most men who go bald where ball caps. But maybe they started wearing them to hide the fact they balding. But most women do not wear hats on an every day basis, %26amp; women keep their hair longer. Just an observation.

Is there any prevention for cyst not to come back? I understand cyst do have many kind, my kind do cause me pain in my ovaries and lower abdomen. The pain is unbearable. What's cyst actually and how it form it?

*Thanks for answering my question* :)

Is there any prevention for cyst?
I heard that some cysts can be caused by pin worms. Apparently, many humans have some sort of parasite without knowing it. It's possible you could have pinworms, and you can get it checked out if you want. (pin worms come out a tnight to lay their eggs, and sometimes they accidentally go up the wrong hole)
Reply:I had the same thing one my right ovary they had to take out my ovary and folopian tube, it was terrible . They are very painful and sometimes cancerous. Personally i think and im not a doctor but i think mine was caused from birth control. I had the norplant for 3 years. Now i just had a baby(its crazy but i thought after the sergury i wasnt going to be able to get pregnant) and i refuse and terrified to get on birth control. I make my husband do that part. And every since i havent had a problem. However they do say birth control pills are supposed to help get rid of them but mine was soooo big, its your choice go with your instincts, AND PRAY.

Why is more money being spent Prevention/Detection of Breast Cancer than there is on Prostate Cancer?

2010-04-24T03:00:00.001-07:00

Twelve times as many Males die each year of Prostate Cancer complications that Females do of Breast Cancer complications.

Money spent on the prevention/detection/cure of Breast cancer is four times the money spent on the prevention/detection/cure of Prostate Cancer?

What is the reason for this?

Why is more money being spent Prevention/Detection of Breast Cancer than there is on Prostate Cancer?
The answer is simple.

We women have a better lobby and, while it is little known,

control most of the spending in this country.

Indeed many more males die from complications of Prostate cancer than females do of Breast cancer.

The cure for Prostate cancer involves rather drastic surgery

that most males would rather not undertake.

Perhaps in 100 years a less drastic cure for both types of cancer will be discovered and in use.
Reply:more men die because they wait to long to see a doctor ....

women are more in control of their healthcare and there is a need to catch up ....in the past everything was dedicated to the men...even heart disease only took in the male perspective...we were all deemed alike..now they are realizing that symptoms for a heart attack differ on women...no shearing or shooting pains down the left arm like men ....and they are also just realizing that MEN CAN GET BREAST CANCER ALSO

Possible experiment(s) dealing with the prevention of Antibiotic Resistance?

2010-04-24T02:59:00.001-07:00

I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me in deciding a method of performing an experiment related to the prevention of Antibiotic Resistance.

(Antibiotic Resistance - the ability for micro-organisms to withstand the effects of an antibiotic - involves evolution to adapt to antibiotics).

Any help on the subject of prevention would be appreciated, but an experimental design recommendation would be ideal. I would like to perform an experiment that involves e. coli bacteria (it would be easy to acquire) and ampicillin discs (or any other practical antibiotic).

Thank you in advance for your tolerance of my large question and for answering (if you do).

Possible experiment(s) dealing with the prevention of Antibiotic Resistance?
i think that E. coli is already susceptible to ampicillin!

besides, i don't remember a way to prevent antibiotic resistence except for B-lactamase inhibitors added to B-lactam antibiotics to prevent their breakdown (resistence).

basically speaking; antibiotics inhibits a certain reaction in the bacteria that leads to its death or arrested growth (baceriocidal %26amp; static). the bacteria develop resistence by 'bypassing' this step in the reaction %26amp; develop a new pathway that forms the target product of the reaction (leaving completely the antibiotic with its action). so in these situations; the only way is to develop 'another' antibiotic (new one) that target the new pathway.

u can only prevent resistence if it is related to the given antibiotic (as i said; e.g. B-lactamase enzyme developed by bacteria that specifically attacks ur drug).]

so, u first have to thoroughly understand the cause of resistence %26amp; the pathway %26amp; work on preventing the resistence (whenever possible)

good luck :)

Cold and flu prevention: ive seen alot on the internet that a few drops of 3% hydrogen peroxide in each ear?

I would not trust that recipe. Living in Florida for many years everyone knows to use few drops in each ears of one part rubbing alcool and 3 parts vinegar will prevents ear infection due to humidity and swimming. But for cold and flu prevention the best one is to wash your hands and use Airborne a supplement to help reduce the chance for being sick.

When we do things like this to ourselves something happend to us in our early childhood years, to help prevent this we need to seek counseling advice, because it sounds like a compulsive disorder.

Question about lice prevention?????

2010-04-24T02:57:00.003-07:00

O.K. my Daughter is in first grade, and Five kids from her class went home with lice today, many of the girls she plays with, nurse checked and didn't see anything, my daughter also has very long hair, longest in her class!!!! IS there any PREVENTION I can take so she does not get it????? should I keep her out of school a day or two?

Question about lice prevention?????
Do not keep her out of school. Switch to a tea tree oil based shampoo and that should help. If you have any worries about her getting it apply tea tree oil straight to the scalp and cover with a shower cap for 30 minutes and then shampoo as normal. Lice hate tea tree oil so using a shampoo with this in it is a great way to ward off infestations.
Reply:Keep her hair up in a tight bun. I also use tea tree oil (the actual oil) sold at health food stores. I put it on a cotton ball and run it along the nape of her neck and behind her ears.
Reply:make sure she doesnt hang her coat up with all the other children. this could be a definate way to spread lice. also, check her head often so if she does get them, you can catch it before it gets too out of control.
Reply:tea tree oil works good. there is also rosemay repel. i use it on my daughter. you can buy it at this sight. www.fairytaleshaircare.com for a decent price. the sight also has some good information about lice. don't keep here out of school. Lice is just something that you will have to deal with at one time or another.
Reply:No, it wont help because lice eggs can stay alive for a while and all it takes is one louce egg to infest anyone. My son is in first grade too and his class had it as well, but he never got it so I guess tell your daughter to becarful and perhaps get louce medecine and use it, just incase.

Layout of relapse prevention plan?

2010-04-24T02:57:00.001-07:00

i need help in making a relapse prevention plan, just a layout to go off of would be great

Layout of relapse prevention plan?
Here are the four steps we use in class as relapse prevention planning:

Step 1: Stabilization:

Relapse prevention planning probably won't work unless the relapser is sober and in control of themselves. Detoxification and a few good days of sobriety are needed in order to make relapse prevention planning work. Remember that many patients who relapse are toxic. Even though sober they have difficulty thinking clearly, remembering things and managing their feelings and emotions. These symptoms get worse when the person is under high stress or is isolated from people to talk to about the problems of staying sober. To surface intense therapy issues with someone who has a toxic brain can increase rather than decrease the risk of relapse. In early abstinence go slow and focus on basics. The key question is "What do you need to do to not drink today?"

Step 2: Assessment:

The assessment process is designed to identify the recurrent pattern of problems that caused past relapses and resolve the pain associated with those problems. This is accomplished by reconstructing the presenting problems, the life history, the alcohol and drug use history and the recovery relapse history.

Step 3: Relapse Education:

Relapsers need to learn about the relapse process and how to manage it. It's not a bad idea to get their family and Twelve Step Sponsors involved. The education needs to reinforce four major messages: First, relapse is a normal and natural part of recovery from chemical dependence. There is nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about. Second, people are not suddenly taken drunk. There a progressive patterns of warning signs that set them up to use again. These warning signs can be identified and recognized while sober. Third, once identified recovering people can learn to manage the relapse warning signs while sober. And Fourth, there is hope. A new counseling procedure called relapse prevention therapy can teach recovering people how to recognize and manage warning signs so a return to chemical use becomes unnecessary.

Step 4: Followup

I have an interview at Sears tommorow for Loss Prevention.; Can someone help me edit please. Heres what I got?

2010-04-24T02:57:00.000-07:00

I am looking for an entry-level position in the field of loss prevention. I have been wanting to explore a position in loss prevention for quite some time now and finally decided to have a change of careers and pursue my dreams. My long term goal is to make a career out of this and in a couple of years become a law enforce officer. I have some experience in loss prevention from when I worked at the bank. I was always on the look out for fraudulent bills, checks and suspicious transactions. While it is some experience I understand that it is nothing like an actual loss prevention job and that may concern some employers. My only response to them is that what I don’t have in experience I make up for in desire and ambitions. I am aware that this job is very dangerous at times and I am intimidated. I am ready to step up to the plate and prove that I am worthy of this position. I know it’s a risk to take a chance on someone with no experience, but I’m here to prove that it’s a risk worth tak

I have an interview at Sears tommorow for Loss Prevention.; Can someone help me edit please. Heres what I got?
It sounds okay, but there are some punctuation errors. Can you copy to a word document and check? Also I think it should be "become a law enforceMENT officer".
Reply:It's pretty good. I spruced it up with better grammar and took out the negative statements like "dangerous times and being intimidated." Also, never begin a paragraph with "I".

For quite some time now, I have realized that I would like to work in retail in loss prevention. The position you have advertised sounds like the perfect entry-level job in the field of loss prevention. Now is the time for me to change careers and pursue my dreams. I have some experience in loss prevention from when I worked at the bank. I was always alert for fraudulent bills, checks and suspicious transactions.

While it is minimal experience in this field, I would welcome any training or guidance in learning the actual loss prevention in your company. I have the desire and ambition to pursue this new career choice and I realize there may be times when it is challenging and I am ready prove that I am worthy of this position. Since I don't have any experience in loss prevention and am willing to learn, you can train me and I will have no "bad habits" from previous loss prevention jobs. I will learn how you want the job handled exactly.

With my experience, knowledge, ability, and desire to succeed, you will be happy you chose me for the position.make me a great acquisition to any company all I need is one opportunity to prove it. Thank you for your consideration.

Medicare cancer prevention medication?
What exactly is your question?

If your MIL had breast cancer then most likely she will have to take tamoxifen for five years to prevent a recurrence of the breast cancer. If this is your MIL's situation make sure she has regular pelvic exams since tamoxifen raises the chances of developing uterine cancer - which can be easily treated in the early stages in a woman getting regular exams.

Is heartworm prevention really safe ?

2010-04-24T02:56:00.000-07:00

Yopu hear so much about drugs %26amp; there side effects .Has there been any concerns about heartworm prevention .It has to be a poison %26amp; they want you to have your dog on it year around won't this have bad effects on your dog .I question this because our 8 yr.old wheaten died from heart cancer.We now have a pup %26amp; I am questioning alot about vaccines how safe are they really -as safe as the dogfood?

Is heartworm prevention really safe ?
Heartworm preventative can cause reaction in some dogs just as anything can. Some dogs need a different type of preventative then others. For the most part though heartweorm preventative is safe if given correctly and in proper dosage for your dog.Heartworm prevention is much safer then the treatment for heartworms.

As for vaccinations..yearly is no longer recommended by the AAHA/AVMA or the 27 vet schools. It has been very well studied by several universities and at least one major drug company and has been determined that over vaccination is a very real problem and that vaccines are effective longer then a year. The protocol now is 3 years, however that may be changing in another year or so to be 5-7 years due to ongoing research.

It is also recommended that lepto, lyme, parainfluenza %26amp; kennel Cough (bordatella) vaccinations not be given to all dogs..only to those that are at very high risk of exposure.

It is also recommended that NO dog get vaccinated for coronavirus, adenovirus-1 or giardia.

No puppy should ever be vaccinated before they have completed their 7th week but preferably 8-9 weeks. The puppy series should NEVER be more then a series of 3 and these are done 4 weeks apart. It is also recommended that no puppy receive rabies vaccinations under 20 weeks of age and never at the same time as other vaccinations.
Reply:yes
Reply:Good question, I have seen people suggest that all the drugs are poisons, and that their dogs live much longer without the medications. I guess you take your pick of options, either risk poisoning the dog with the medications, or risk the parasites. Neither option is ideal.
Reply:despite what they may tell you there are negative consequences and they vary by breed. Some breeds (collies I know is one) are more susceptible to having a heart attack. All dogs are to some extent as the dead worms can block arteries and / or heart valves. You can get information about how many cases of heartworm were reported in your county from your state. I'd check that out first. Some Vets prescribe it as an additional source of revenue more than need.
Reply:There are only a few breeds (Collie/Shepherd breeds) that are intolerant to ivomectine and need to be on other heartworm preventative medicines. Ivomectine has been proved to be quite safe for most breeds. Most of us that have quite a few dogs make our own heartworm medication. There is plenty of information on the net of how to mix, and what the dosage would be. The only problem is that if a person were making it for only one dog, one batch of the medication would last the lifetimes of your next three or four dogs.

Ivomectine will also take care of the dogs other de-worming needs. It is also what we use (in stronger doses) for de-worming horses.

Remember tho' that ALL drugs of ALL kinds are a toxin, even the ones approved for humans. So as we well know, from the common cold on up, it's a case of damned if you do and damned if you don't.
Reply:Much safer than letting your dog get heartworms and treating them for that.

They can die from the treatment needed to kill heartworms.

Ivermectin, the drug in most heartworm tablets is very safe and has been used in horses for many years. It is safe for breeding stallions and even foals. It is hard to overdose a horse on the medecine and is safe up to like 10 times a normal dose.

Depending on where you live and the amount of heartworm cases in your area you would have to make that decision to prevent or not.

In our area I would never not prevent as one clinic in our area had over 200 positives last year. That is alot for one clinic to see and they think it is getting worse in our area. So I will always prevent.
Reply:It's a heckuva lot safer than heartworms!

Believe me, I have a rescued she-dog who has severe heart and lung damage from heartworms.

Many things in our world are not good for our pets.

Think of the flea spray and collars.

I use flea spray sparingly, only when fleas are seen or found.

Also the weed and bug killers we throw or spray in our yards... all poison.

You do need to vaccinate and use heartworm prevention.

These are so much better than the alternative (the diseases).

Hope this helps.

Pink Eye Prevention?

2010-04-24T02:55:00.001-07:00

what would be a prevention plan to stop the spread of conjunctivitis in school. What would the estimated cost of this plan be?

Thank You.

Pink Eye Prevention?
No vitamin can prevent conjunctivitis. It's an infection/inflammation. Not tissue breakdown.

Educating both students and parents in handwashing, refraining from rubbing the eyes, more handwashing, using disposable tissue to cough and sneeze into and handwashing would make a good prevention plan.

Educating parents and teachers in the common symptoms of conjunctivitis (how to recognize it) and how it's transmitted would be invaluable. Teaching everyone that there are different types of conjunctivitis and not every type is contagious, caused by bacteria or requires antibiotic treatment would also be nice. Treatment and contact precautions should be taught.

A special assembly with a public health nurse - maybe the school nurse as speaker, as many have an MPH - would take care of students. A second one in the evening for parents and teachers. For both, a computer slide show to view a a case of conjunctivitis and Q %26amp; A session afterward. And written info sent home with kids/parents. The CDC or local health dept. can provide this. The cost would be nominal.
Reply:Everyone to not use other people's eye stuff and for everyone to wear goggles. lol!
Reply:Preventative vitamins are Vitamin A, C, B5 and B2

Vitamins and Minerals

Vitamin A: Vitamin A is especially important in promoting health in all epithelial tissues, including the conjunctiva.

Vitamin B Complex: Conjunctivis can be triggered by a vitamin B2 deficiency, but supplementing with the entire B complex can increase the availability of vitamin B2 without inducing deficiencies of the other B vitamins.

I am doing a project on child abuse prevention and I am trying to find a way to educate young parents. Anybody have any ideas as to how one would set up programs to educate parents. The project deals with breaking the cycle of abuse. We see many times where the children who are being abuse are being abused by their parents. These parents are young, under the age of 24. I am trying to think of a way to educat them.

Child abuse prevention?
I work for family services and there are alot of cases with children. Go to familyservicesinc.net and it may give you some information. You could also contact your closest agency and ask for information. There are programs that you can go to. I work for the domestic violence for women department, so I don't have a whole lot of info I can give you on child abuse but your local agency can give you all the information on it that you need.
Reply:You need to find a way to reach young parents to inform them of your teachings. You know, if you are going to have meetings or classes you need to advertise that. THen, you need to show them how to break the chain and avoid making the mistakes their parents made. This could be a lot of work if you are not educated yourself!
Reply:Talk to pediatricians and get list of reccomended reading on the proper ways to discipline children. Anger management, most child abuse is a parental temper tantrum. Set up a buddy line sort of thing where if they are getting frustrated they can call anytime day or night.

Try to get them to understand what was done to them as a child was wrong without villifying their parents. Also give them a line to use on their family member who feel that they aren't "disciplining" their children properly (i.e. spanking, beating, using a belt.) Some sort of non-conflict line such as we are going with the current expert opinions, or studies.

Good Luck. I hope you have lots of sucess because what you are doing needs to be done.

Is pregnacy prevention easy?
Hey there,

To answer your question:

Pregnancy prevention is easy if you understand the risks involved with sexual intercourse. Knowing about STD's, what your chances of becoming pregnant are, and practicing safe-sex methods will help.

Many people on here already stated that abstinance is the best policy and I agree.

However; using condoms with contraceptive foam/jelly, placing yourself on birth control, and understanding what STD's you can obtain are very good as well.

I've provided some links about different preventative methods, and STD's below.

Hope this helps!
Reply:it's not all that hard. It takes good education, condoms+pills
Reply:it's called dont have sex- but thx for the points!
Reply:If you get on birth control %26amp; use condoms its very easy.
Reply:It would be very simple to prevent ANY pregnancy: Abstinince.

But since most teens' hormones are raging, not having sex probably isn't an option. =X Use condoms and spermicide. Easy enough, and it doesn't take long to protect yourself.
Reply:Yeah, it's called abstinence. If you can't do that and cave to peer pressure it's called birth control and condoms every time.
Reply:yes, it really is.

wait until you know you are in a committed relationship before you think about having sex. don't let anyone pressure you into it or tell you you're a child just because you're still a virgin.

every time you are intimate with someone use a condom. don't let a guy say "but it feels better if i don't wear one". withdrawal is not a valid form of birth control. Also it is a good way to protect yourself against disease.

it is probably better to wait until you get married to engage in sex, but with marriage ages rising in this country, it is understandably very hard to do that.
Reply:yes-no sex
Reply:pregnancy prevention is a hell of a lot easier than trying to get pregnant
Reply:IT IS, IF YOU JUST DONT DO IT AT ALL. DO NOT TAKE THE RISK. CONDOMS ARE NOT 100% FOR A REASON.
Reply:No, there are no guarantees.
Reply:yes it is incredibly easy...

DON'T HAVE SEX!

And if you do, use protection, every time!

Reply:Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a set of hardware and software technologies that perform additional checks on memory to help prevent malicious code from running on a system. In Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) and Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005, DEP is enforced by hardware and by software.

The primary benefit of DEP is to help prevent code execution from data pages. Typically, code is not executed from the default heap and the stack. Hardware-enforced DEP detects code that is running from these locations and raises an exception when execution occurs. Software-enforced DEP can help prevent malicious code from taking advantage of exception-handling mechanisms in Windows.

If you are logged on as an administrator, you can manually configure DEP to switch between the OptIn and OptOut policies by using the Data Execution Prevention tab in System Properties. The following procedure describes how to manually configure DEP on the computer: 1. Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK.

2. On the Advanced tab, under Performance, click Settings.

3. On the Data Execution Prevention tab, use one of the following procedures: • Click Turn on DEP for essential Windows programs and services only to select the OptIn policy.

• Click Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select to select the OptOut policy, and then click Add to add the programs that you do not want to use the DEP feature.

Mud fever prevention routines for winter?

2010-04-24T02:52:00.000-07:00

What routine and products does everyone use in the winter to prevent mud fever?

I start early as prevention is better than cure.

At the moment I'm washing my horse's legs with warm water and hibi scrub liquid, drying with a towel (or mild hairdryer) and then bandaging over night (she's in at night).

She then has mud block on her pasterns and heels for turning out in the morning.

Anybody know of any good products or methods to keep away the bacteria?

Mud fever prevention routines for winter?
Eqyss makes really good products that kills fungus and bacteria. I use Micro-tek medicated shampoo, micro-tek medicated gel or Micro-tek medicated spray for any skin problems for my horse, myself, and my cats. :-) The spray might help you out before your bandages go on. You can buy these at Big D's or Valleyvet. I've never heard of anyone doing so much to prevent the mudfever! I hope you are successful...
Reply:Sorry, we don't have that problem where I live.....
Reply:Make sure the legs are clean and dry and then coat them in liquid paraffin or mineral oil - makes them repel everything. Used to do it with polo ponies that get roughed off for 6 months in the winter - also put it all over their backs to prevent rain scald. The coat has to be dry though otherwise moisture gets trapped at the roots and the hair will come out.
Reply:I agree with Lusitano! Great prevenative measures! I normally just keep deep shavings in the run in so they have a dry area to stand in. Drying the legs seems to do the trick here...I also use a listerine spray several times a week to keep it from ocurring. Keep up the good work!
Reply:Prevention !

Wash the legs then when they are dry spray them with 7 day mud away.

It really does last for 7 days.

just wondering if anyone has any experience with the sonic bark prevention devices?

i would prefer to get the type you mount somewhere in the home, that way my dog does not have to wear a collar and he is free to bark outside, at the dog park, etc.

has anyone had any luck with this type of system?

Teens & HIV Prevention, what works?

2009-11-20T03:08:00.000-08:00

I work for a teen HIV prevention program and we're trying to create a video. What do you think is important to include in the video. It's goin to be about 20 minutes long.

Teens %26amp; HIV Prevention, what works?
I would include the fact that the only 100% way to avoid death from this incurable disease (comparable to cancer) is abstinence. Be real. Do not sugar coat anything. They need to be afraid. Very afraid. Interview people who got HIV from heterosexual contact. Many teens still think only gay or drug users get it.
Reply:condoms
Reply:It is unfortunate but I doubt if this will have any impact on teens watching the film. Teens all think that "it won't happen to me". They are indestructible... life goes on forever. So they drink and drive. So they smoke cigarettes. So they have unprotected sex.

Even showing teens who have unfortunately been infected with HIV/Aids, the same dummies will still go along and have unprotected sex. And if they are lucky enough not to get HIV/Aids, they could come down with any one of the myriad sexually transmitted diseases.

If you want to Try to make a video that will scare teens into smart behavior, be as graphic and gruesome as you can... really show them the end results of this horrible disease. Maybe you'll scare one or two of them into being smart.
Reply:only candoms .
Reply:Please emphasize the option of abstinence. It is an important factor in teens making a major physical and mental decision that can affect their entire life. That is the only sure way of prevention. Everything else has risks. Emphasize making choices in a positive way such as finding friends to group date with, choosing friends that will support their decision, etc.
Reply:Abstinance, proper use of condoms including use of water based lubricants to prevent the condom from breaking, emotional effects of sex, the "sex Pyramid" to show sexual history of partners partners partners.

Is heartworm prevention (pills, etc) for cats REALLY necessary?

2009-11-20T03:07:00.001-08:00

I've heard vets say YES, we should do all necessary to prevent heartworm. But are they just trying to stay in business and want money? What's the REAL risk of an indoor cat getting heartworm from a mosquito? Is it the same as a human getting heartworm (very very very low)? Because if it is... i don't want to pay for heartworm prevention pills!

Is heartworm prevention (pills, etc) for cats REALLY necessary?
Whoa guys - why say something as dangerous as "cat's can't get heartworm" if you don't KNOW?

Cats can get heartworm. And the likelihood depends on where abouts in the States you are (not sure about other countries) Read the info on the link below:

http://www.cathealth.com/FlHW.htm
Reply:As far as I know, heartworms are extremely rare in cats. I've never heard of medication specifically for cats with that problem. Heartworms are mainly a problem seen in dogs.
Reply:I dont think cats can get heart worm, ask another vets opinion
Reply:I would just go for this:

Revolution® is a great all-around product approved for use in cats to prevent heartworms. This is a topical medication that is applied to the skin on the back of the head monthly. It is very safe for cats and kittens. Besides preventing heartworms, this medication also controls fleas, ticks, intestinal parasites, sarcoptic mange, and ear mites.

http://www.cpvh.com/Articles/15.html
Reply:Cats certainly can get heartwom and it seems to be becoming more common, but the risk is nowhere near as high as in dogs (estimated to be 1 cat case for every 10-20 dog cases). From memory, the average cat burden is very low, it takes longer for the lifecycle to be completed and the adult worms do not survive as long in the cat as they do in the dog.

Many of the worming/flea products used do also prevent heartworm- e.g. Revolution %26amp; Advocate. I personally would not push heartworm prevention for a cat like I would for a dog, but some vets will- some of it depends on how prevalent HW is in their area.

I click on the "close message" button, and Windows display an "illegal operation and we are sorry to close your application" window (also a standard operation after DEP window).

But the crazy thing is that LogonUI is an essential service run by Windows, and it WON'T turned off!!! Everytime it's turned off, it loaded itself to memory, and that makes DEP turned it off again, which makes it loaded itself again, and so on. It's not something so emergency, but it just bugged me off.

Mosquito bites - prevention & cures please....?

2009-11-20T03:06:00.001-08:00

am suffering from mosquito bites (in Spain) and would like advice on 1) prevention and 2) cures (if the former does not work!!). Have tried spraying with lemon cologne before going out, with reasonable success, but if you miss a bit the blighters seem to find it and bite me! Have also tried a hot

t-bag on a bite, which seems to take the sting out, but my bites tend to go bad easily. Any help / advice would be much appreciated - thanks!

Mosquito bites - prevention %26amp; cures please....?
I live in Florida capital of mosquito issues.

You need an repelant that contains, DEET, it's the best for keeping these pests off you.

Wair long sleeves and stay in during the early evening, and morning, this is when they feed.

Don't wair colognes or sent, some are attracted by these.

Rub your bits with a mint alcohol, or Absorbean Jr. ( I am not my spelling is correct), but either works great on bites.

If your bites go bad on you it means you are allergic to the bites and infected wash them and put an anti biotic antiseptic ointment on them to kill and prevent further infection.

Go to the doctor if they don't clear up.

The best advise is don't get bit stay in doors during their peek feeding times, early evening, morning and after it rains, and if there is a lot of humidity in the air.

This too attracts them.

They are not to be messed with, mosquito bites can be fatal.

Malaria, West Nial viruses, plus the possibility of allergy.

Sweat attracts these pest too, so try to stay cool and in where there is a/c. If a/c exsists in Spain take advantage of it.

Powder like talc can help in this aria.

Showers, and talc powders can be a big help.

The repelant is best if you need to be out side.

DEET is a plant oil that mosquitos and other biting pests hate.

Believe me I know.

I am a Floridian, 46 years now..
Reply:Another trick is a coil that Off puts out that keeps the mosquitoes away works well. You light it out side to repel them.

We use Deep Woods Off with DEET along with mosquito netting if possible.

. Report It

Reply:You may not like Marmite, but if you eat Marmite sandwiches then you don't get them.

There is something in Marmite that mosquitos and flys etc. can smell through your skin (people can't, don't worry) and they hate it, so they stay away.

And to get rid of them, use Anthesan cream. You can buy it in chemists in England.
Reply:Use Tea Tree oil. Firstly it repells the mozies and secondly if they still attack it has antiseptic qualities that reduce any swelling and pain. I used to use it when living in Mexico and it worked for me.
Reply:prevention: take one or two garlic capsules (not the oudorless variety) every day. It will leave a garlic smell on your skin that mosquitos don't like, but other Humans won't notice it. This prevention got me through my travels in Australia without being bitten once. Without the capsules I would have suffered badly!
Reply:The ultimate mosquito bite prevention?

3 Jul 2006

Scientists have identified insect repelling chemicals produced by people who don't get bitten by mosquitoes and will be revealing how they made their discovery at the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition which opens today (3 July 2006).

The teams at Rothamsted Research and Aberdeen University, who previously answered the long running question of why some people get bitten and others don't, have now isolated chemicals present in the body odour of people who naturally repel insects and have filed patents.

"Those of us who don't get bitten by mosquitoes produce unattractive chemicals, which mask their otherwise attractive odours", said research leader, Professor John Pickett. "Humans produce hundreds of different chemicals so it has been challenging to identify the particular chemicals that mosquitoes respond to".

The scientists used a technique known as gas chromatography-electroantennography' to identify which components of the odour the insect can detect.

"Gas chromatography allows us to separate out the eau de human' into its individual chemical components. The electroantennography then allows us to simultaneously record the responses in the mosquito's antennae." Said Dr James Logan, who is working with Professor Pickett at Rothamsted.

The team are hopeful that their detailed research findings, which have been submitted for publication in a leading scientific journal, may lead to the development of effective natural' insect repellents and may also result in new control methods for biting pests responsible for livestock losses and the spread of human illnesses, such as malaria, dengue fever and yellow fever in developing countries. Until the results have been published, the team cannot reveal the details of specific chemical compounds.

The researchers are now carrying out trials to test their effectiveness in preventing mosquito bites.

Professor Pickett added: "We are currently testing the natural compounds by comparing them with World Health Organisation approved insect repellents on individuals known to be attractive to mosquitoes we hope to publish the results of these trials soon."

Visitors to the Summer Science Exhibition can test their 'attractiveness' to mosquitoes, without the risk of getting bitten, using another piece of Rothamsted kit, an olfactometer'. Volunteers are invited to place their hand in one chamber and mosquitoes are exposed to a choice of two airstreams, one of which is laced with odour from the volunteer's hand. The mosquito's behaviour in response to the smell can then be observed to determine if a volunteer is attractive' or repellent' to mosquitoes.

Treatment of Bites

Itching is the main symptom to control with insect bites. Topical antihistamines and anaesthetics are for quick temporary relief; hydrocortisone cream has slower onset, but longer effect.

Ibuprofen Gel. For pain and swelling from insect stings, is an excellent anti-inflammatory with quick onset.

Hydrocortisone cream 1% This preparation improves both itching and swelling/redness. It actually has anti-inflammatory effects, not just symptomatic relief like the topical anaesthetics. However, it does take longer for full effect than topical anaesthetics.

Xylocaine Gel 2% For immediate relief from surface itching and pain.

Any systemic reaction should be seen by a doctor immediately. This includes hives wherever they may occur, swelling in the face, shortness of breath or wheezing, difficulty swallowing, and light-headedness or fainting. These usually occur within minutes to an hour after the sting.

Local reactions generally don't require professional care. However, if your local reaction causes enough swelling or pain to distract you from your normal activities or keep you awake despite basic treatment, you should see a doctor. If the redness/swelling is worsening after 24 hours, see your doctor.
Reply:Deet is supose to work the best.

Dog arthritis prevention - glucosamine and chondroitin?

2009-11-20T03:05:00.002-08:00

What is a safe dose? I went to petco and petsmart and near all the bottles for this mixture of medicine says either 1/2 tablet to 1 tablet per 40lbs of weight.

My dog is a Pomeranian at 7lbs. I've been told it would be a good idea to put him on glucosamine and chondroitin for the prevention of arthritis.

Dog arthritis prevention - glucosamine and chondroitin?
OK so if your dog is 7 pounds I'd give her a 1/4 of a tablet. That would be suitable for a 10 pound dog. She's close enough to that to handle it.
Reply:glucosamine is the best. it works on my older dog great. you can get smaller doses for your dog. you can get them at Target for like $4.99 for a big bottle.

in my experience, chondroitin doesn't work as well in the long run.
Reply:Try looking in the chemist, you can find exactly the same thing for people but the dosages can be smaller. Check out the arthritis relief tablets containing more than just glucosamine and chondroitin, they often contain other herbal remedies, some of which are safe for dogs, some only in small doses, which the tablets have. If you cant find one you feel comfortable with, try the powder form instead of the tablets, its less concentrated, and easier to just sprinkle 1/2 a teaspoon on their food. Hope i have been some help, i get people arthritis tablets containing, fish oil, sea kelp extract, zinc, glucosamine and chondroitin, but i have large dogs, all weighing over 40lbs each, so dosing them is easier, one gets 4 tablets daily (213lbs), 1+1/2 for 3 of them and one gets one tablet daily.
Reply:You might be wasting your money. There was an item on TV tonite where they said that glucosamine and chondroitin are about worthless and totally ineffective in humans. I know that doesn't translate to dogs, but it is something to consider.

Can anyone tell me about acid rain prevention in detail i need to write 7-8 pages on acid rain prevention??
I unwittingly signed a petition one time because, They said the local incinerator was causing allot of pollution in the city of Madison heights. I had told my mom what I had done and she said, Thanks Joy you shut down our trash and now we will have to pay for it to be hauled away.

OOOPPS Sorry mom but I had a personal issue with it and thought it would be best.

several weeks before I had even seen the potition here is what happeded.

I heard from the car dealership that is was acid rain that was tearing up our new car. After 6 months we notice the paint is blistering off. just tiny patches.

So I go to the insurance company and they say yep its acid rain and we are not responsible.Then he pointed out that we lived with in a half a mile from the smoky Sky's of the incinerator that was functioning very poorly at the time.

So we kicked and fussed and my husband told the manager off and made a remark about people strutting around in their pin stripped suit.

The settlement was they repainted for us and we paid the deductible.

I just have a little more to add. A few weeks later I run into my cousin and she introduces her husband Ron and I begin to blush as I stare the man in the face with the pin stripe suit. hahahaahhahhaha

Go get on that project looks like alot of people did a search for you. Its great to have people out there that like to share.

Very Good Luck

[edit]

Technical solutions

In the United States, many coal-burning power plants use Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) to remove sulfur-containing gases from their stack gases. An example of FGD is the wet scrubber which is commonly used in the U.S. and many other countries. A wet scrubber is basically a reaction tower equipped with a fan that extracts hot smoky stack gases from a power plant into the tower. Lime or limestone in slurry form is also injected into the tower to mix with the stack gases and combine with the sulfur dioxide present. The calcium carbonate of the limestone produces pH-neutral calcium sulfate that is physically removed from the scrubber. That is, the scrubber turns sulfur pollution into industrial sulfates.

In some areas the sulfates are sold to chemical companies as gypsum when the purity of calcium sulfate is high. In others, they are placed in a land-fill.

[edit]

International treaties

A number of international treaties on the long range transport of atmospheric pollutants have been agreed e.g. Sulphur Emissions Reduction Protocol and Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution.

[edit]

Emissions trading

An even more benign regulatory scheme involves emission trading. In this scheme, every current polluting facility is given an emissions license that becomes part of capital equipment. Operators can then install pollution control equipment, and sell parts of their emissions licenses. The main effect of this is to give operators real economic incentives to install pollution controls. Since public interest groups can retire the licenses by purchasing them, the net result is a continuously decreasing and more diffused set of pollution sources. At the same time, no particular operator is ever forced to spend money without a return of value from commercial sale of assets.

Double taxation prevention?

2009-11-20T03:04:00.001-08:00

I am working in UK since 27th june 2007 and will be returning india in 2nd Feb 2008.

Can you please explain double taxation prevention specific to my case and I would also like to know that how can i prevent the double taxation and what all documents i would require for it.

Double taxation prevention?
If you are working in the UK for 7 months, you are treated as tax resident here as you will have spent over 183 days here. Therefore, any work carried out in the UK is liable to UK tax. However, if you go back to India in Feb 08, you may also be liable there.

When you leave the UK, you should fill in form P85 and attach parts 2%26amp;3 of your P45 from your employer. Your time spent in the UK is in 1 tax year, Apr07-Apr08. So, if you have earned less than the personal allowance of £5225 from June 07-Feb08, you will be due a repayment of all of the tax taken from you. There will be no issue of double taxation then, as you will have paid nothing to the UK. If however, you have earned more than £5225, you may still have overpaid, but you will not get the whole amount of tax back. If this is the case, when you declare your income to the Indian authorites, you should also declare the tax which was due to the UK authorites. They should then give you a credit for the tax paid in the UK.

DEP does not allow some exes to run because they might look suspicious, good protection from viruses.

You can disable it and add programs that are allowed to run by going to:

Start %26gt; Control Panel %26gt; Performance and Maintenence %26gt; System - under Advanced tab, under Performance click settings, then click the Data Execution Prevention tab.
Reply:Look if you are going to use freeware and crapware as your security suite then you are probably not very protected and probably shouldn't trust the results...

Try running a web based scan from someplace reliable like http://housecall65.trendmicro.com

Then consider investing in a proper security suite (antivirus, firewall, antispyware, etc) from a reliable vendor (like mcafee or something) and keep it properly configured and completely up to date.

You may also want to ensure you have run windows updates and do so regularly.

DEP is a function that is designed to protect core system files from malware. It would certainly help to know what program DEP is closing... that might give you a clue as to what other crapware you've installed that could be causing the problem.

Good Luck

Time For A NEW Prevention Strategy?

2009-11-20T03:03:00.002-08:00

being that the Chjolesterol Campaigh is a DISMAL FAILURE for the prevention of coronary heart disease don't you think it is time for a NEW PREVENTION STRATEGY?

Time For A NEW Prevention Strategy?
The key to prevention is found at the end of ones fork. You won't, however find any Dr. to tell you that. Why? well one reason is because they study MEDICINE (not nutrition) The other is that doctors make money when people are sick.

The food industry is yet another reason. How do you think the dairy farmers of America would respond to an ad campaign saying that milk was actually harmful? Or the Cattlemans' association would think about the fact that animal fat/protein is the #1 contributor to heart disease?

It could get ugly.
Reply:Hey Oldman, Rozwell, Ashley, Mike...what up?

Here are some facts:

From 1994 to 2004, death rates from coronary heart disease declined 33 percent.

In the same 10-year period the actual number of deaths declined 8 percent despite a larger number of people who are getting older.

The number of people who show up in the ER in the midst of a severe heart attack (STEMI) is substantially less than what it used to be. People are now showing up with much more commonly with mild presentations that are far less life threatening (NSTEMI) and can be treated without significant long term consequences.

The people who do have severe heart attacks are always the people who are NOT being treated for their controllable risk factors - diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol (I know this is going to send you over the edge), and smoking cessation.

So, what do you propose to enhance the treatment plan?

-Addendum-

Yes, and rates for obesity and diabetes is way higher too. Not very constructive in your reply...and you called me a name. I guess I'll have to report that.

-Addendum, addendum-

Wait, I make money by renewing prescriptions? Hmm and I always thought it was unreimbursible administrative work (usually done early in the morning or early evening) that takes about an hour a day, requiring a chart review of each patient, ordering appropriate tests for monitoring, and having patients come in for check-ups if we haven't seen them in a year. I wonder where the money comes in?

Have a great day.
Reply:I said AGE ADJUSTED INCIDENCE NOT death rate.

They are NOT SUCCESSFUL IN PREVENTING IT IN THE FIRST PLACE

They ONLY have gotten better at TREATING IT ONCE YOU GET IT.

ANTHONY COLPO KNOWS THIS AND HAS SAID IT MANY TIMES.

People

Orthodoxy just wants to perform all sorts of MENTAL ACROBATICS to defend a hypothesis that has been a proven failure

This should be PROOF to you that they are NOT intersted in public's health and the TRUTH about coronary heart disease

They MAKE ALOT OF MONEY with this cholesterol BULLSHIT

In fact docotrs MAKE MORE by writing you a prescription ofr Lipitor than by seeing you

THIS is why they refill over the phone WITHOUT EVEN SEEING YOU FOR QUITE SOME TIME. . They do NOT do this for other medcines.

They also do not seem to care about making sure you get blood work to test for liver damage on this VERY TOXIC LIVER DAMAGING STATIN DRUG

See here http://www.statinalert.org
Reply:Finally! A new personality.

To answer the question, medicine is always evolving. However, it evolves as new knowledge develops. Two "scientists" with inferiority complexes don't count.

If statins are so EVIL, why do 90% of patients (myself included) have NO side effects?

Mold prevention in a crawl space. Lime?

2009-11-20T03:02:00.002-08:00

I have a year old house in North carolina that I recently found mold growing under the plastic in the crawl space. The builder is going to treat everything but isn't planning any type of prevention. I am now going to leave the vents open in the winter (I closed them last winter and opened in the summer per their recs) and was considering spreading lime since it theoretically makes the environment less prone to fungus ie mold. Does my theory hold water? I know I can get a fan system or dehumidifier (my builder said this will dry out the wood) but I was looking for a cheaper alternative to try first. Thanks.!

Mold prevention in a crawl space. Lime?
mold only grows in the presence of moisture. Is the mold inside the plastic by the insulation? If so, it must not be the proper thickness of plastic or it is not sealed properly. The plastic should be tapped at every joint and seam. It should also be to the ends where it meets the exterior walss and be taped and sealed there as well. The builder may have used the improper thickness and may not have taped the plastic vapor barrier correctly. No air should be able to penetrate this barrier. I would also have caulked around the perimeter of the barrier where it meets the walls. How is he going to treat it? If it is behind the barrier he would have to remove the barrier to get to it. Is he going to do that? If so have him replace it with a thicker plastic and tape everything including the spots where the staples go through.
Reply:I had the same problem, I removed the plastic and sprayed everything with a household bleach solution and let it air out for a week and replaced the plastic with new. As long as you have the plastic down, it will be susceptible to mold.

Hearthworm prevention?
Honestly Revolution for dogs is not that fabulous. I would stick to something like Heartgard. It seems like a good deal cause it's supposed to take care of fleas and such but it really doesn't. You are paying more for nothing. It is fantastic on cats though!
Reply:i would use an alternative but i havent heard anything bad about revolution....also flee controls like frontline have heartworm prevention biult in i think
Reply:I've heard that Revolution is a good brand but more for cats. My vet recommends Heartgard therefore I'm using that for mine and I don't have any problems so far.
Reply:Not really, it can burn the dog's skin and isn't always completely effective.

You would do better to use a separate heartworm preventative and a separate flea preventative.
Reply:Heartguard plus, this is a really good product, get from vet, it not only prevents heartworms, but prevents hook worms, you can get the tablets, but most dogs love the chewables better, once a month........

all of my dogs have been on it since pups.....would not use anything else...

revolution is not that reliable....

I had to write an STD prevention advice column for health class and i need to make it colorful and add pictures...my only problem is....idk wat the pics should be of because my teacher said not to like put pics of STDs cause thats pretty gross....so does anyone have any ideas??? thanks.

STD prevention advice column for health class project?
you could use representation pics... show pics of people in africa w/ aids (since that is what people first think of...) then google an average american with aids..

OR what I would do is take two pics and have them decide who they think has HIV or chlamydia etc... and have the infected person be a child or business man/women... someone they'd least expect... show them a crowd of people and say can you pic out the people w/ STDS just by looking at these people? No... you never know if someone you sleep w/ has it... Sometimes teachers and people try the scare tatics like "heres what STDS look like" fear them!! When in reality most people dont know they have an STD let alone if their partner does! GOOD LUCK!!
Reply:Personally I think you should use pics of people with STDs...yes it is gross but it would certainly have an impact!

Loss prevention detective?

2009-11-20T03:01:00.002-08:00

boscov's is hiring a loss prevention detective. What is this and what do they do?

Loss prevention detective?
Loss prevention detective is a fancy name for what essentially is just an internal security guard for the store. I've heard loss prevention officer before, but never detective.

Basically, you maintain surveillance of people via CCTV (closed circuit television) and observe the offenses occur. Depending on how many people are on duty with you, you would want another to maintain a visual on the floor, and radio what you observe. Once the suspect makes it out of the doors to the store, the crime is complete and are subject to arrest.

Once the arrest is made, you would want to complete a written report for officers who respond, and make a copy of the surveillance if it's available.

In other instances, I get calls from stores, because they were investigating internal losses. Most of the time the internal losses are due to employees giving away items, or stealing money. Those people are arrested for embezzlement by loss prevention once enough info is gathered for an arrest. Afterward, officers are called to complete a report.

The thing is, different stores vary widely in policy of who can pursue, if you can fight a suspect, or chase them out of the store. I know Kohl's has a terrible policy. They cant really do anything, and have to call in "Pending" thefts. Just for info, officers don't really respond to "Pending" thefts. Target, they cant chase people out of the store, and if they resist, are supposed to stand down. The most kick *** loss prevention I see is from Mervyn's and JC Penny. Those people will chase you down, beat you up, and get you and their merchandise back, even if they have to chase you a few city blocks, I've seen it lol.

It's a descent job from what I've seen, and if you are interested in law enforcement, it gives you a small insight into what is required of the job.
Reply:Watch for shoplifters and investigate any missing property from the store.
Reply:Their main job is to observe and detain shoplifters. They also investigate allegations of internal theft.

Suicide Prevention At Church?

2009-11-20T03:01:00.001-08:00

As a formally mentally ill patient whose also a Christian, I was devestated at how Churches treat believers who are suicidal. I had a couple incidents where the secretary told me that according to the churches policy I had to LEAVE the property for feeling that way. I had another incident where the pastor asked me if I was gay. And another incident where the Bishop held in how he felt about it and then several weeks later, took me into his office and Blew Up On Me for mentioning it. What is going on in the body of Christ. Why is there little or no suicide prevention programs in Churches?

Suicide Prevention At Church?
I'm saddened by your experience. Sorry to hear that this is the case at your local church. Fortunately, this is not the norm nor the rule though with church counseling pastors.

I'm wondering if the problem with their obviously inaccurate and uncompassionate perspective is because of either their insurance policy says about treating counselees with suicidal impulses or what many who just have a little knowledge of suicidality with post-traumatic stress disordered folks (which can be a life long condition and struggle for many) think about those who frequently experience and share these impulses with others, or both? Many believe, and wrongly so, that it's just "those types" trying to get attention. Many people who are only trained enough to be assistant staff at inpatient units do have a tendency to wrongfully think this way.

My suggestion to you is to not try to fix them, for you'll just continue to be in a power struggle trying to get them to understand. For whatever reason, they must think that you are not trying to get help from them, but rather cause trouble. Crazy, isn't it? So, go to a supportive church who won't act out with such fear and "pigeonhole" you like this, and shows at least an open mind to your situation, and better yet has access to support groups and counseling like the following: Living Waters Program, a DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) support group, or at least a Celebrate Recovery group.

I hope this helps and God's abundant blessings in your walk with Him!
Reply:My church has a great suicide prevention program, so I'm not sure what one you're involved in...
Reply:Cuts out the middle-man.
Reply:That's terrible. We have several people at church who are mentally ill, and unless they become violent, we welcome them (we've only had one problem). Our pastor routinely refers people for counseling and therapy. You should seek out a church that is more accepting of behavior and not so judgemental. That's really sad. Blessings to you!
Reply:They have one at the church I used to go to.
Reply:Look in the paper for a support group or call a hotline.
Reply:"Even churches have forsaken love and mercy." (Leeland, Tears of the Saints).

Some genius probably told them that their insurance requires them to get suicidal people of the premises.

I am SO sorry that happened to you -- it never should have.

I hope you're getting some psychotherapy or have seen a doctor to discuss your feelings--this is something you don't need to handle on your own.

A lot of churches aren't equipped to handle mental illness or emotional problems-- and they are afraid to try. I'm glad to say that many churches ARE now offering counseling by trained professionals on their premises.

I will be holding you in prayer this evening. Peace be with you.

Reply:first there is no money in preventing suicide or not enough. second weather the religious or the atheists are right it doesn't matter both ways life is so precious in its self that we should truly consider both. if an almighty god created us and just us we are too precious to die early and if it is chance that we are here the chances that life exists elsewhere are slim possible but for now we only know for a fact that it is us which makes us pretty rare in the universe.
Reply:I appreciate your thoughts. Suicide prevention is probably a subject most people - not just Christians - have little experience with and an irrational fear of learning about it.

I hope you can find a church where you will be accepted, loved, and counseled properly.

But do not expect too much. Churches are filled with loving people - but often they are not professionally trained to help those with suicidal tendencies.

But I would certainly encourage you to try to find a church where people love God, love each other, study the bible, pray together, cry together....

God bless
Reply:Suicide is unable repenting sin.
Reply:PLEASE find a gay affirming church. Even among Mormans or Catholics there are support groups.

I attempted suicide at age 20. I only failed because I took too many pills and threw them up. The next year was total torment.

But please BELIEVE that there are many people out there who DO understand and who DO love you. Please find them. Do not allow the ignorance of others keep their hold on you.

Google gaychristians.

Forgive me: I realize that I just assumed you were gay. But even still there are churches and church members out there who DO CARE and who DO understand. Please seek them out.

Clarification on Acne treatments/prevention.?

2009-11-20T03:01:00.000-08:00

I'm 15 years old and have been living a healthy drug/alcohol free lifestyle. About a month ago I've been starting to experience outbreaks of acne. It started with just a few pimples, but then started to grow in size and numbers. For treatment I've been using a prescription medicine called, "Differin" or "adapaline gel." I wash my face with water about two times a day and depending on my exersize schedule I will take one to two showers daily.

I've been reading many questions on these forums about acne treatments/preventions and have spent several days reading multiple web-sites that are acne related. So far the re-occuring statements have come up, and I'm not really sure if they're true:

Drink lots of water

Wash face multiple times

Exersize can lead to outbreaks

Don't rub areas where pimples are, it leads to more outbreaks.

Acne is caused by dirt rubbing into pores and clogging them?

I need some clarification on good acne treatments/prevention.

Thanks!!!

Clarification on Acne treatments/prevention.?
Everybody has their favorite acne treatment, and I expect you will get some sales pitches here.

I found a website that has a simple explanation of the causes and treatment of acne. It is a government website, so it isn't selling anything, so it isn't biased. It has some diagrams that help to explain what acne is. Follow the link.

Now for your list. Drinking water does not help acne; we all drink water. Washing your face helps prevent clogging of pores. Exercise resulting in sweat and dirt on the skin can make acne worse, but not if you wash afterward. As a matter of fact, your pores open during exercise, and you can clean more thoroughly right afterward. Rubbing areas where pimples are does not necessarily cause more to happen, but if you wear a hat or something else that is against your skin a lot, you are likely to develop more pimples in that area. Acne is not caused by dirt getting into pores and clogging them, but by pores that are blocked by substances from your own body.

Most common acne medications in the US have either salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide in them. Salicylic acid can dissolve some of the substance that clogs pores, and benzoyl peroxide can kill germs. Both can dry your skin.

I hope this helps.
Reply:Let me give you a taste of my experience. I have tried everything out there for an "acne" cure, and I've tried differin just like you have, plus zillions of oral medications such as Minocycline, Tetracycline, Doxycycline, etc. It is just a hormonal thing and what is causing it is "overactive" oil glands. The only way possible to keep the sebaceous glands from overproducing oil and causing acne flareups would be to ask about being put on Accutane. Ask your dermatologist about this drug which he may or may not decide if you are a good candidate or not. I was, and I only had mild to moderate acne, with so many whiteheads that I have never been able to control until I took Accutane. Do NOT be scared to take this drug unless you are allergic to Isotretinoin. Go to Acne.org to The "Gallery" and check out Accutane before and after pics and throughout the process of people taking it. It will excite you to see just how dramatic the effects of Accutane have been for people. It is the only medication that has come close to a cure, and does cure many patients. Accutane is a very expensive drug which is usually taken for 4-6 months; I took it for a 6 months period and I have not had acne ever since. It can be very expensive so I do hope that you have insurance to cover most of its costs. I wish you well and that you find the reference helpful. Note: No matter how oily and acne-prone your skin is, Washing it twice a day is the maximum; washing more than this will strip the skin plus making it produce more oil! I wish you the best of luck!
Reply:Acne is mainly hormonal, that's why it usually starts around the teen years, when hormones really kick into high gear. But it can last well into your adult years as well. It's also partly genetic too. So it's not something you're doing wrong, it's not your fault. It's just nature.

Drinking water (it doesn't have to be lots, just the normal amount) won't make a huge impact on acne, but it will be less harmful than drinking alcohol or sodas, which all full of sugar that leads to redness, irritation, and inflamation.

Food doesn't cause breakouts either, but some foods can help control them. Vitamin A enriched sources, carrots, kale, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, etc... are great for acne prone skin because vitamin A will usually help improve how the pores remove dead skin cells and this reduces the chances of developing clogged pores. Fruits are also helpful, because their full of antioxidants, which protect the body from damaging effects.

Washing your face multiple times isn't neccessary. The recommend two times daily is fine. Acne isn't caused by a dirty face. Washing too much will just leave you with a really dry, flaky, irritated face.

Exercising is good for blood circulation in the skin. Sometimes sweatbands or extra sweaty clothes can clog pores. But exercising itself doesn't cause breakouts.

It's not a good idea to rub pimples or your face in general, because we have a lot of oil on our fingers, as well as germs, etc... And definitely don't pop or pick pimples, because it can lead to scarring and pigmentation problems.

Stress is a factor. It has the potential to produce certain chemicals in the body/brain, which can cause skin irritations. So it's best to try and keep that under control by relaxing.

Try using a gentle cleanser rather than something harsh with lots of chemicals. Also consider what shampoo you're using. It too could cause more harm than good. - http://www.dermadoctor.com/product.asp?W...

Loss prevention.?
Loss Prevention is what they formerly called Security in a store. It's the people who make sure things aren't stolen.
Reply:it prevent your belongings from getting loss i presume
Reply:Loss prevention usually refers to keeping theft down to a minimum for retail stores. The loss prevention staff monitors the hidden surveillance cameras and some actually walk around watching customers to see if they stick something in their pocket. There are many things that people do to steal from stores including changing price stickers and putting small items into larger boxes. The dangerous part is apprehending the suspect without getting yourself beat up, stabbed or even shot at. It does happen.
Reply:loss prevention keeps shrink to a minimum. They come up with new ways to prevent theft in the store (or wherever they are hired). They hold trainings for employers on how to handle theft. A lot of department and retail stores hire loss prevention and it's a pretty good job.

Vandalism prevention?

2009-11-20T02:59:00.003-08:00

We have had some minor vandalism in our neighborhood. Other than better lighting in the area, any advice on prevention?

Vandalism prevention?
Several things you can do, based upon the characteristics of the vandalism.

Is it Tagging, breakage or what?

Is it happening during the day or night?

Are the kids in or out of school when the vandalism is occurring?

Has there been a surge in drug related activity in your area?

Have you organized a neighborhood watch? Get together with your neighbors. If you don't know your immediate neighbors, introduce yourself to them. Keep an eye on their place and you watch theirs. Whomever is home during the daytime, note cars and strangers that course though your street.

Ascertain Jurisdiction: Sheriff's office or Municipal Police.

Contact your Police, meet the cops in your precinct. Do you have community policing or a Volunteer community Policing team? Let the supervision know that you want to see them in your area.

Say hi to the police, nothing is more appauling to law enforcement than to have to respond to a vandalism or burglary call to a home where they AT LEAST have acknowledged the residents. Police are becoming more Reactive than Proactive. Tell them what you want as a taxpayer and property owner.

Do you know the kids in your neighborhood (I know, a difficult thing in this day and age)? Watch the kids. You can tell which ones can't look you in the eye when you talk to or look at them - those you watch.

Here's a plug for me and mine%26gt; a professional Security Officer: Do you have a neighborhood Home Owners Association (HOA) association? Have they contracted Security for the HOA?

There was a blogger that commented about dogs.

NEVER stake a dog in the back yard and expect an instant FAIL-SAFE security system. THERE is no reason to get a canine that will not be inside the house (most of the time) as a family member especially when kids are factored into the equation.

Socialize whatever dog that you might get and TRAIN that dog in obedience. Check local laws for animal care and avoid a dog that you cannot handle (says a Pitbull and German Shepherd owner).

Good luck
Reply:If the offender is caught, be sure to press charges. If you see a crime being committed, call 911 (instead of confronting the person yourself).
Reply:catch them in the act.
Reply:They were interviewing criminals on t.v. and asked them "what can be done to prevent people like you from entering someone's home". The answer from all of them was "a dog". They avoid homes with dogs. Not just because of the barking alerts, but because of the risk of being chewed up.

If you can't have a dog, I recommend a sound recording that is triggered by sensor.

Loss prevention?
emittlender ^^^ Loan scammer!!!

LOAN SCAM - Do Not Pay UpFront Fees.
Reply:A job as a loss prevention officer or security officer may give you some experience at what it's like dealing with people on the other side of the law though I don't believe that the security officer can carry a weapon or such. I'm not sure about salary, but I don't believe that it's usually many dollars an hour even though one is there to keep the safety of the establishment :) Please remember Not to talk salary until the very end of the interview unless the interviewer/employer brings the topic up first. And it's best to go with 'salary negotiable' on an application or in person if asked as to not bid too high or too low.

To become a police officer, I was under the impression that one must first take a pre-test and then I suppose, depending upon one's score, enter the 'police academy' which is like boot camp and is supposed to be quite physically and emotionally grueling. And there are college programs for those interested in a career in law enforcement. You can also check with your local municipal (township) building to find out the exact requirements for a job as police officer or 'law enforcement officer'.

For more general info on careers: US occupational outlook handbook www.bls.gov/oco and can type into search 'security officer', 'loss prevention officer' or 'police officer.

B: Beat the living crap out of him.

I realize in the eyes of the law only one is correct but what do you think is the most effective crime prevention method.

Crime prevention?
Totalitarianism. The old Gulag system seemed to work enviably well.

Either that, or perhaps they could adapt the Yahoo! Answers points system as some sort of incentive to make the known offenders behave themselves.

Otherwise, I don't know. I once found a burglar in my own home. It kept half a dozen police officers off the streets for days with paperwork and forensic tests, and nothing happened, despite their being able to match the little c*nt's fingerprints in their database.

If you want your accusations to stick, ya gotta make a paper trail. Document and authenticate. Tell the whole story. Avoid violence when possible, especially when it's a knee-jerk emotional reaction, even if you are tempted to the max. Only choose B as a last resort...and, then, only as a time-filler til the cops get there.

There is no SINGLE solution or instant resolve to anything in life. You need to develop a sense of good judgement for the circumstances at hand, and often that means choosing a course of action involving several options. Don't limit yourself to A or B. Hopefully, you won't choose actions that make you look worse than the criminal who wronged you.

Scabies prevention (recently exposed)?

2009-11-20T02:59:00.000-08:00

We had a house guest last weekend (shared a bed). Called us later to tell us he just found out he had contracted scabies and apparently had them while at our house. Nobody in our household has symtpoms of course- Went to doctor and got scrip for NIX lotion. What other options are there? What could I do to be proactive and prevention minded? I'd rather not get them at all.....

Scabies prevention (recently exposed)?
WASH everything that your guest could have possibly touched. Wash in HOT water twice if it would make you feel better.

I used to work as a teacher and contracted scabies from a child that was neglected and had very poor hygiene and scabies isn't much fun.

I'm not sure if there is anything that a doctor could do as a preventive measure if you don't show signs of it yet and you may not at all.

If you do start to show signs of it, do not scratch it and get to the doctor ASAP.

Heartworm prevention??

2009-11-20T02:58:00.003-08:00

I have a 3 year old Beagle, and I've never really had her on any heartworm prevention,but we went to the vet today and the doc says he strongly recomends putting her on some because I live in an area that has lots of mosquitos because of the warm/moist air. Am I going to be able to buy some at like walmart or somewhere like that, or is that something I would need to buy elsewhere(like a website or vets office)? Does anyone have any recomendations on places to go for some cheaper ones(because the kind I've seen are pretty pricey) or what kind I should use? Thanks to anyone who can help me!!

Heartworm prevention??
First of all, if you're in a heartworm endemic area, she should have a heartworm test done before your dog goes on any medication for prevention. The new meds rarely kill the dog with heartworm infection any more but can still cause her to be quite sick. There are pet stores out there that sell products that may claim to prevent heartworm, but they won't. The FDA approves only certain companies to use the effective medicines that will prevent heartworm, and I'm sorry to say, you'll need to get them from the vet. Yes, they can be pricey, but if you've ever seen a dogs heart full of long, stringy white worms ( and I do mean FULL!), then you won't begrudge the cost. I know there are some online companies that distribute veterinary meds, but just make sure it's the same medication as the stuff at the vet!

You might also consider looking into pet insurance; they may cover some expenses like that.
Reply:The best thing to do is get it from your vet. I use heart guard for my dog.
Reply:well, theres a kind called Prevention thats its a liquid that you simply put on the dogs skin. you move the fur over, exposing the skin and pour the little bit of liquid on. what happens then is it gets absorbed in and it works well!

its better than a pill, i think anyways.

you just cant get it on your own skin or touch the dog's back on that spot for half an hour.

good luck!:)
Reply:hopefully they tested her and it was neg. try 1800 petmeds. some places price match. you will need your vet to write a prescription. your should have your dog on heartworm prevention all year all it takes is 1 mosquito. the prevention is ALOT cheaper then heartworm treatment.

i dont understand why people get pets if they dont want to put them on prevention or vaccinate. because its "pretty pricey" i just dont get it.
Reply:You'll need a vets prescription to buy a heartworm preventative. I get my dogs stuff online from the Doctor Foster and Smith's website. I've found they're generally cheaper than my vet can offer. Jeffers is another store that offers dog stuff. Both have catalogs they'll mail to you as well. I buy most of my pets stuff from these two places because they're so much cheaper than Petco or other pet stores(even with the shipping). I use the "Heartgard" chewable for my dogs.
Reply:yeah your going to have to go to vet for HWorm meds. Its a prescription. But your going to have to get a HWorm Test first to make sure your dog doesn't have any HWorms already. (which requires them poking your dog and taking blood, and it has immediate results like in 10 min. at a regular vet)(I use a low cost vet clinic that comes to a Petco Pet Store in my area and the bloodwork has to be sent out to a lab, but its worth it because the test and the meds are cheaper) Its also recommended that you get a new test every year just to make sure the meds are still working, and your dog hasn't gotten any HWorms. Please Get em' tested! Your dog will live longer, and be more healthy.
Reply:I would strongly recommend purchasing heartworm prevention from your veterinarian.
Reply:You can buy the exact same meds as the vet online for about 1/2 the cost. First find out what kind your vet recommends...and then try petedge.com for some serious deals.

Definitely get your dog tested and definitely start a prevention routine. When we adopted our dog, she had heartworm-- and it's not a pleasant experience to get rid of it. It involves costly treatment and many weeks of "bedrest" for the dogs, which is hard to enforce. It's definitely worth it to avoid this with a simple once-a-month treatment.
Reply:get it from your vet or go online and get it from petmeds or something. it may be cheaper in the long run to do that. wherever you get it, just get it. because the cost of heartworm treatment will totally outweigh what you pay in prevention
Reply:for this just find some everyday worming medicine if you a have a krogers i know it is eight dollars there and it so much for everypound every couple of weaks i would give him 3 doses of it and not worry for a couple of months and just give him 1 dose every 3 months but do 3 at first the very first time this is going to sound weird but an old person taught me this and i have done it and it works until you get the meds raw hamburger find some cigarette toacco or scoal make sure you wet the stuff and wrap it in the hamburger just let the dog eat it but make sure he does eat you may need to force him some but he needs to eat it hope this helps
Reply:Heartworm meds are by prescription only.While they may seem expensive they are a whole lot cheaper then treating a dog for heartworm disease.

OTC products aren't a good idea on any level..most are ineffective and are also very dangerous to your pet.

There are a few different kinds and your vet should be the one to prescribe the particular one for your dog. He knows your dog best...people on the net don't.
Reply:You can't buy it at wal mart but you can get it from your vet or if you can do it and your vet says that it's okay there is a ad on tv for that sells stuff like heartguard and stuff like that as long as you have a perscription for the product from you vet.
Reply:awww...sad story. my friend's piano teacher's dog has heartworms.
Reply:Why didnt the vet give you something for heartworms.Sounds like you need a new vet.

Heartworm Prevention Tablets- Split with two dogs?

2009-11-20T02:58:00.002-08:00

I have two boston terriers who are below 15 pounds each. I just noticed that the heartworm prevention I got from the vet which I have been using for a couple of months is for dogs 26-50lbs. Should I continue giving them a whole tab or should I split it in half? I would prefer answers not from someone like me who is just guessing but from a vet, a tech, or someone who has done this in the past with an o.k. from their vet. Thanks!

Heartworm Prevention Tablets- Split with two dogs?
Call your vet for the correct answer on this. You could be under dosing the dogs and that will be them at high risk. Your vet will know exactly what to do.
Reply:Good girl! It it always best to ask your vet where these things matter! Report It

Reply:If you're looking for answers from a vet, is there a reason that you're asking this HERE instead of, say, calling your vet and asking them?
Reply:We used to do that with our dogs and the vet said it was fine.
Reply:I wouldn't split them. I have had this conversation with my vet and the dosage is different. Call and see if you can get the right dosage.
Reply:You need to buy the correct strength heartworm prevention pills for each dog, because if they get the wrong strength, it can make them sick. Splitting them in half might still be too strong.
Reply:Not all pills have equal amounts distributed on each side of the pill. Check with a vet.

It only takes a few minutes to call.

I highly doubt a vet gets on yahoo answers to answer questions all day long.

sorry it that sounds mean!
Reply:And you haven't called your vet why? If you have the wrong dosage, usually they will let you trade out (if the package is unopened) with no additional fees. I do believe it is definately better to get the right dosage for the dogs rather than to split what they have. It's not worth the risk of underdosing. But definately do what YOUR vet says, they are the ones with the most experience with your specific dogs. Moreover, the smaller doses are often cheaper. I also have two dogs of approximately the same weight, I get a six month supply and split it between the two (making it a three month supply in reality). This is a little easier than forking out a ton of money at once every six or twelve months.

If your pets aren't worth a few extra bucks to maintain their health, then why do you have them? What's more important, your pets, or your cash? Keep in mind that if they are underdosed they can contract heartworms and usually it is fatal for dogs. At best it's extremely expensive and painful.

Usually when a doctor or vet tells you to cut a pill in half, it's when you have to take both halves within a 24-hr period. The reason is that you can't guarantee you'll get the exact same dose from both halves. A full dose may be too much for the stomach at once, so they have you split it up because the manufacturer doesn't provide smaller doses as an option.
Reply:I do animal rescue and have for years. My vet often sells me medicine and tick preventive medicine for larger dogs and has told me how to break the dosage down for smaller dogs. It keeps my cost of rescuing down and for that I appreciate it. Splitting the tablet in half is the right thing to do. If you ever are concerned, a quick call to your vet is always a good answer.
Reply:any experts n field of dog industries was prevent their dogs from infect by mosquito ...and heart pudge ...... by pets infect controller with heatrguard or interseptic inject........ but interseptic wil coz phycology crashing in between 10 in 1 vaccination and interseptic ........so heartguard is a betterway to kill heartworm there was growing inside dog's body ....... there separed to three type : small breed (blue) ,medium (green) ,..... and large (brown) .... your dog two is boston terrier sould be taken small\blue in color for monthly..... and you should giving whole tablet but not half........ there is a effective way to kill heartworm..... not matter how either experts also can't prove her dog is safe in their enviroment ..... thank for reading
Reply:I'm thinking that the Vet gave you the amount for larger dogs with the intention of you splitting one in half, but he should have told you. My Vet has done the same. Definitely, call your vet and tell him you are giving your dogs almost 3 times the dose. This could be very hazardous to your dogs. I have had the ok from my Vet to use a few drops of K-9Advantix on my Shih Tzu puppy and use the rest of the tube on my 3 yr old Lhasa Apso. Please inform your Vet ASAP that you are giving a very high dose to a small dog!!!!!
Reply:Split it!! Don't give them added chemicals they don't need.
Reply:If you are talking about the Heartgard chew-ables, do not split them. The medication is injected into the chew, so the medication may not be equally distributed through out the tablet. So one dog could end up receiving all the medication and the other could end up with none. Splitting up a larger vial of flea prevention is completely different, because the medication is evenly dispersed though out the liquid.
Reply:Split it.
Reply:I would say that splitting it would be fine.

Most of the products, minus Breathe Right Strips, don't really work. Sleeping at an incline helps.

Heartworm prevention??

2009-11-20T02:56:00.000-08:00

does my dog has to go every month to the vet to get heartworm prevention??

Heartworm prevention??
They will sell you a years supply after you get the dog tested.
Reply:No. As long as your dog has tested negative for heartworm, it is safe to give the preventative. I buy mine from the vet. It comes with 6 doses (for 6 months). You just give the pill once a month, and no need ot go to the vet except to pick it up.
Reply:You can buy a box of heartworm preventative from your vet after your dog has tested negative for heartworms. A box usually contains a six month supply and ranges anywhere from $25-$75 depending on what brand you buy. Some just prevent heartworms, others prevent heartworms, fleas, ticks, and other kinds of worms.

By keeping your dog on heartworm preventative year round, you won't have to keep having it tested for heartworms and you can keep it healthy. Treatment for heartworms is very rough on a dog's body and very expensive. Spending $100 or so a year to keep your dog heartworm free is well worth the money.
Reply:You can buy the monthly medication (like Heartgard, Interceptor) at your vet's office. I use Interceptor, each box has six pills inside.
Reply:No, you take the medication home and give it to the dog yourself.
Reply:Hello:

Your Dog does not have to go to the Vet every month to

get heartworm prevention, but you do to pick up the pills

for the dog. They have chewables so it is quite easy.

If you take your dog you pay for a visit. If you just pick-up

the heartworm there isn't an office fee.

HOWEVER, if this is the first time you are purchasing the

product then you need to take the dog to have his blood

checked for if the poor thing has heartworm already then

it needs something more.

Hope this helps.
Reply:You do not need to go every month. Your vet will/should sell you a 6 month supply or even a years supply of heartworm preventative. However, heartworm preventative is not 100% effective. Your dog can still get heartworms though it is highly unlikely. That is why you have to have your dog tested each year to refill the prescription. Additionally, if you give the medication to a dog WITH heartworms it will make the dog sicker.

Thank you for preventing heartworms. Those that think they're dog won't get them for whatever reason are simply ignorant. Any dog can get heartworms and it's a slow, painful death. I've seen it first hand in Boxer Rescue.
Reply:No, your pet should not have to go to the vet monthly to receive his/her heartworm preventative. Generally, after testing negative for heartworms with a yearly check-up you can purchase whatever brand of heartworm preventative you like in a 6mo or 12mo supply. Most veterinarians, however, frown on the 12mo supply due to the simple fact that a year is an extremely long time to go without seeing your patients! I suggest an occasional mid-year heartworm check just to be on the safe side and ensure that your pet is indeed getting their much-needed medication!

Hope this helps!
Reply:No the vet will check once a year through bloodwork for heartworms. They sell heartworm prevention in 6 packs, which is a 6 month supply. It usually runs $20 to $30 depending on the size of your dog and what your vet charges and what brand of heartworm prevention they carry.

The importance of heartworm prevention

Heartworm - a parasite that lives in the blood of dogs and attacks the heart - can kill your pet. That's the bad news. Treatment of an infected dog, if caught early enough, can be effective. And prevention can safeguard your pet from ever suffering from this deadly worm. That's the good news.

Heartworm is fairly new to California. Before 1980, the parasite was confined to the southern and eastern parts of the United States. But in the last decade, heartworm has established itself in the West. Unfortunately, it looks like it is here to stay. Pet owners will have to learn about this pest and take routine precautions to keep their dogs heartworm- free.

What is heartworm?

Heartworm is a parasite that uses dogs as a host. When they are immature, the worms (microfilariae) are small and circulate in the blood. Adult worms can grow to more than 12 inches long and live in the heart. An untreated infection leads to congestive heart failure and eventually

How do dogs get heartworm?

Heartworm is transmitted by the mosquito. A mosquito bites an infected animal and passes infected blood onto the next animal that it bites. Bay Area winters are not cold enough to kill mosquitoes, so heartworm is a year-round threat here.

Isn't this still pretty rare? What's the chance of my dog being infected?

Today, about 1.3% of dogs in northern California test positive for heartworm, and the percentage is climbing. Is some areas it's up to 17%! However, the Katrina disaster has resulted in many homeless dogs moving to California. Louisiana is one of the top five states for heartworm disease, and up to 80% of dogs resuced from there carried heartworm. This influx of carriers into California has the potential to greatly reaise the incidence of Heartworm here.

Can all dogs get heartworm? What about puppies?

Heartworm infects dogs of any age, but most infections occur in dogs between four and seven years old. Dogs that live outside are four-to-five times more likely to become infected that indoor pets.

What are the symptoms of heartworm infection? How can I tell if my dog has heartworm?

There are no symptoms during the early stages of infection. When adult worms attack the heart, common symptoms include chronic coughing, labored breathing, difficulty exercising, fainting, blood in the saliva, and heart disease.

Can heartworm be treated?

Drug treatment in the early stages of infection, when there are no adult worms, is usually effective and poses few problems to your pet. Adult worms can be treated, but the drugs used and the adult worm die-off can be potentially life threatening.

We carry Heartgard from Merial. While a little more expensive than generics, Merial carries a guarentee for their product. If you can demonstrate that your pet has been on Heartgard (such as by providing receipts) they will cover the cost of treatment.

How can I find out if my dog has been infected?

We can perform two tests to check for infection. The Difil test checks for microfilariae or immature worms circulating in the blood. An occult heartworm test checks for the proteins (antigens) given off by adult worms. University Veterinary Hospital is equipped to perform both tests in our own laboratory.

How can I prevent my dog from ever being infected with heartworm?

The first step is a blood test to make sure your pet is not infected. If your pet has no signs of heartworm, a monthly pill (we recommend Heartgard) will keep your dog free of the parasite.

Please make an appointment today to test your dog

The first step in protecting your dog's health is the blood test. The test for heartworm is simple and causes little discomfort.

Save money and protect your pet before mosquito season is in full swing!

Reply:no, he just needs to go once for a heartworm test to be sure he doesnt have HW, and that its safe to start the treatment. After that you can stop at the vet and pick it up.. you can buy a few months worth at a time, or a year's worth.
Reply:It depends on your dog's age and size. If you have a growing puppy, then it is best to bring him in once a month to get weighed, so you can give him the correct dose. Each different dose is based on weight. If your dog is an adult, or done growing, then your veterinarian will be able to give you a year's supply, so you don't have to keep going back to the vet to pick it up.

More hernias. Different places. Prevention?

2009-11-16T01:14:00.002-08:00

Hernia--4 surgeries and now another hernia. Both abdominal and inguinal. 70 years old, trim,healthy, active, health conscious. No known predisposing factors except for age (no COPD. constipation, tescular problem, inheritance, etc). What can I do for prevention? Vitamins, supplements, diet, exercise, support? Other than the most common causes any other situation I can address for prevention?

More hernias. Different places. Prevention?
What is not clear by your question is are these 4 separate hernias, or have you re-herniated. If they are 4 separate ones then you suffer from "bad protoplasm". This just means that you have weak connective tissues and the weakness is what causes the hernia. I know I have the same condition. Now if you are repairing old surgeries then you need a better technique for repair. If you went answers you can log onto the North Penn Hernia Insts. website. There you can ask Dr. Goodyear your questions and he will respond. All he does is hernias and he is darn good at it. I went from MN to PA to get my right inguinal repaired, and I am glad I did. Good luck.

Well, you are getting a response from someone who has been in the business of loss prevention for the past 22 years. I have led 2 of the top 5 Fortune companies in America's loss prevention divisions.

The LP field is a very rewarding career. Entry level jobs are available to most people who have a clean criminal history, and can pass a drug test. Finding these jobs are not very difficult, and with some time and energy, you can promote through the ranks into a management position.

Look at major retailers for opportunity. As well, take the time to seek loss prevention educational courses at community colleges to gain additional insight, training, and a stepping stone to a 4 year degree program. Many retailers today require a 4 year degree to advance into a management position.

Pay and security are good in this career field for the right person. Find a job, work your tail off, and get noticed! Good luck!

Flea prevention?
ive been a tech in south florida and now in the chicago area. Best bet is Advantix for Dogs and feline Advantage. Frontline is crap. Advantix is for fleas, ticks, and mosquitos. Advantage is fleas and ticks. Both are great products. But if your house has both cats and dogs and they play together.. you may want to have the dogs on Advantage also.. advantix cannot be metabolized by cats so if they get it on them, bad neurological consequences.
Reply:frontline is good. give them spot on treatment once a month for 6 months then every 3 months thereafter. Try using sevin 85 for the environment. hope this helps.
Reply:Frontline is best because it prevents ticks, too. Advantage %26amp; Revolution are good products, but dont protect against ticks. Ticks are just as much of a concern as fleas in Texas, and can carry dangerous blood parasites %26amp; Lyme disease. BioSpot is an older flea medicine that isnt used much anymore. It's not as good as the others. Do not rely on any over the counter flea control such as Hartz, that stuff doesnt work well and can be toxic to cats if your dog comes in contact with them. Some dogs also have allergic reactions to it.
Reply:Frontline is the best. Waterproof. For god's sake, don't use bio spot on your cat!
Reply:to save $$$$$ ADVANTAGE( not plus) can be used on both ur dog %26amp;cat.....u can buy the LG. size for dogs (100 lb.) and use 1cc on cat .then depending how much ur dog weighs use the rest.....it comes out cheaper like that!!!
Reply:FRONTLINE PLUS IS THE BEST CHOICE!!!!!!!!
Reply:there are fleas everywhere...

and in my experience, frontline is THE best - just do it a few days before the bath so the greasy spot will be washed away
Reply:Frontline and Advantage are both excellent and non-toxic. Bio spot is toxic, and we see a few cats with seizures every year after it has been used on them! Hartz products are the worst you can buy!
Reply:Lucky you, no fleas in Nevada...I think I'm moving there! Seriously though, now you're going to encounter them, the best protection is Frontline Plus as it kills both fleas and ticks.

That's important because ticks carry Lyme Disease and other nasties that you don't want. Just one application a month will keep the little critters at bay!

Good luck with your move, hope you enjoy Texas!
