There is no short and fast cure ... Its a process and its only in that process can the issue can be managed

Music therapy is the controlled use of music in the treatment of physical, mental, or emotional disorders. A variety of problems ~ including depression, high blood pressure, asthma, migraines, ulcers, and a range of physical disabilities ~ are currently managed using music. While music has long been recognised as an effective form of therapy to provide an outlet for emotions, the idea of using song, sound frequencies and rythm to treat physical ailments is a relatively new domain. In general, the nature of the problem dictates the precise form of the therapy. Music has been shown to have various therapeutic capabilities. When played for individuals or groups with mental or emotional problems or with stress-related ailments, music can reduce anxiety and lessen irritability. Researchers have found that listening to and playing music increases the body's production of the antibody immunoglobulin A, and natural killer cells - the cells that attack invading viruses and boost the immune system's effectiveness. Music also reduces the levels of the stress hormone CORTISOL. In work with blind people, music has facilitated the development of better auditory perception. Anyone can take advantage of the ability of music and other sounds to induce relaxation, with or without professional guidance. Soft music and soothing sounds, used alone or with relaxation techniques , can effectively alleviate stress, relax muscles, and evoke a positive mood. Researchers suggest that these sounds promote the production of ENDORPHINS , the body's own pain killers, and can thereby also help in the control of pain. The beauty of music therapy is that it helps people in a physical, mental, emotional, and social way. If you haven't created a personal favourite relaxation playlist, here's a good reason to do so. Healing music can help you fight stress, find comfort, and manage pain. START by identifying music that soothes you and helps you feel comfortable.

Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has described Nigerians as hypocrites after they hailed Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg for wearing T-shirt but condemned him (Fayose) for doing same.

Fayose said this while reacting to some state and burning national issues in his regular #FayoseSpeak series.

The governor also disclosed that he will be going round the local governments to monitor workers to ensure they resumed at their offices.

Speaking on the state of the economy, he said “If your salary is N100,000, know fully now that you are collecting N50.000 all because of the economy recession in the country, what you are buying in market is now times three of the initial price.

“Soon there would be free health care across the state because majority couldn’t afford hospital bill due to the current economy recession.

“LG autonomy is a must and there is no going back on it here in Ekiti because the LG must be allowed to function.

“Because of bad state of the country’s economy, a lot of Nigerians can no longer afford medicare. People are now going to spiritualists to seek treatment for their ailments.

“Whatever I do, they will condemn. When I wore T-shirt to the House of Assembly, they said I didn’t dress properly. But when the Facebook founder came to Nigeria, wearing T-shirt and jeans, they hailed him. They said he was humble. Hypocrites, that’s what they are.

He continued,  “They are worried because what they failed to do, I am doing and they will remain in that state of worries.

“I declare whatever comes to Ekiti from the Federation Account every month and technology has even made it compulsory for leaders to be transparent. If I don’t tell Ekiti people what their monthly income is, they can always get it on the Internet.

“On Ekiti State at 20, I want to thank God specially. When Ekiti was 10, I was the governor, I’m also governor when Ekiti will be 20.

“Ekiti people should come out and x-ray those that have ruled this State and tell the world who impacted most on the state.

“Of all the governors put together, Fayemi got the highest fund. His govt got more money than Adebayo, Oni and my govt put together.

“Most of the landmark projects in Ekiti State were done by me.

“Since 2014 October that I assumed office, we have not had any political killing in Ekiti.”

To increase your wealth and reduce the effect of depression on your finances, adjust your personal banking habit by following these rules.

Use less of credit card: Stay away from unnecessary loans or debts. Debit card will give you access to only the money you have in your account but credit card can make you spend more than you have in your account. So, use less of credit card to stay out of debt.
Transfer idle money to fixed deposit: Many people leave their idle funds in current account and pay heavy charges on it. If you know you won’t need the funds very soon, look for banks with competitive interest rates where you can fix the funds and earn some interest.
Create emergency fund: Emergency fund is the money you save to help you adjust to your financial needs when you run out of funds. If your business goes down due to economic recession or wrong financial decisions, you can fall back on emergency funds. You don’t have to spend all your income. Build the habit of consciously saving part of your money in a bank account, which can be earning interest. This money can also be channelled into investment if you have a lofty idea later.
Punch reported that you could give yourself targets to save specific amount every month so that if you run into any financial trouble, you don’t have to start looking for loans or borrowing from friends.

You may not be able to save more funds when depression sets in, it is better to start saving now.

Draft your budget: Draft a budget that is suitable for your income and which can allow you to still save after incurring your expense. Know how much you earn every month and how much you are saving. Create a list of preference and spend according to the relevance on the list. Do not spend outside your budget so that you don’t violate your savings rule.
Avoid frivolous spending: During periods of abundance, you probably have a lot of money to throw away. But in periods of recession, you need to understand that you cannot be spending anyhow. You have to do away with things that can reduce your bank deposits like spending on parties, buying expensive things you don’t really need just to please people around you.
Use more of savings account: Every savings you make will make a meaning to your account. If you feel some money is not relevant and you continue to spend anyhow, overtime, you will discover it could have increased your bank balance.
Make regular deposits into your savings account so that it could yield a little interest and not attract charges. Let your money stay longer in the savings account because withdrawing without depositing will drain your account. Keeping your money in a current account will make your bank to deduct regular charges from it.

1.Cut the fat. While meat provides a lot of protein, it also provides a ton of fat — especially saturated fat. Which means that by cutting out meat, you’ll be cutting out a lot of bad fat, and replacing it with things that are probably not only lower in fat, but that contain some good fats. This greatly reduces your risk of heart disease, and in fact numerous studies have shown that vegetarians tend to have a lower risk of heart disease, as well as hypertension, diabetes, cancer and other diseases.

2.Less food poisoning. Food poisoning gets millions of people each year — and many of them from meat, which is a good breeding ground for harmful bacteria, especially if not stored, prepared or cooked exactly right. Cut out meat and you lower your risk of food poisoning (especially if you also cut out eggs and dairy, but that’s optional).

3. Reduce the suffering. You probably don’t want to hear about the horrific treatment of animals that are raised for food, even before they are slaughtered for our benefit. But suffice it to say, there are great amounts of suffering involved, and by cutting out meat, you are reducing your involvement in that.

4.Help the environment. There are actually numerous ways that the meat industry harms the environment, from a waste of our resources (animals raised for food eat enough grain to feed the world), to a waste of fuel, to the pollution caused by their waste matter, and much more

5. Help your weight loss. It’s possible to be vegetarian and eat very unhealthy foods, including Coke and fries and fried stuff and pizza and chips. But it’s much more difficult. Studies repeatedly show that vegetarians are slimmer and are less likely to be obese than meat eaters. If you’re trying to lose weight, being a vegetarian can be a good part of your program.

6. Get more nutrition. In general (though not necessarily), vegetarians replace meat with more nutritious foods, such as fruits, vegetables, beans, whole grains, and so on. If you do that, you will be getting more of the nutrients your body needs, giving you better health, less illness, and more energy.

My friend used xasten for weight gain, 4 tablets a day for weeks. She stopped when I told her it has bad side effects. the ish.now is she said she first started having cramps in the midnight, cramps like menstrual pain, this will either cause her to vomit and poo or just poo alone. The pain stops a few minutes after that.Now she has a late period, and she has pre menstrual symptoms. initially, her period may be early this month and late the other monthFor d past three days, she has been throwing up and stooling after meals.what could be wrong.

What ur friend is going tru is d side effects / withdrawal effects of dexamethasone.. the effects are so much dat I cant even list them here.. handling withdrawal effect is always d same tactics, treating symptomatically . But wen it's life threatening u go to the hospital And they place u on some injectables .
Looking at d issue at hand, she shud go back to that dexamethasone
Week 1 - take 4 tablet as she has been taking
Week 2 - take 3 tablet
Week 3 - take 2 tablet
Week 4 - take 1 tablet
Week 5 - take half
Then after this she can stop.
For stooling and vomiting. She can deworm herself, then take drugs to stop vomiting , stooling.
Good luck

Thank u very much.... the level of Muslim / northern impunity is alarming. Lives are taken at will, killings and everything...... am tired of this Goverment. If nothing is done to checkmate this then we wud be gradually heading to another civil war!

I tot we have freedome in this country!!! So he can not call his dog wat he chooses to call it.
Better jungle justice.

Please.. I know someone who is experiencing severe back pains cos of ulcer, I need help on how to get solutions for the pain

I guess u have gotten the drugs by now
Omeprazole
Antacid suspension
Amoxil
Flagyl

Getting the drugs is not the end of the issue. There must be diet adjustment to ensure the ulcer pain does nt come back
Avoid spicy food, peperish food,avoid eating late(don't go for long without food in ur stomach), avoid take fruits on an empty stomach,avoid taking alcoholic spirit and wines. always tell the prescriber of pain killer that u have had ulcer before so that u can avoid pain killers that tiggers ulcer.
All these are to mention a few.
Goodluck

Hello great pharmacy.. . I will be
glad if you concern about me
There is the pain on my head, like my brain
is beating in my head or Like an involuntary
movement , it doesn't come often...it mostly
comes when I worry or if I'm in thought
And there is the anxiety in me which causes
constant uncontrollable fear in me, I do get
weak when the fear comes like my heart or
my chest is warming with a slight pain
there
Please, what could be the cause,prevention
and effect of this?

Thanks for sharing this with me! After reading through everything u said. I realised that it is more complicated than u are describing. Those symptoms u mentioned are just leading indication to something which would be found out from proper examination. So my dear friend,my best advice for u is not to request solution online. But go for a proper examination. Some diagnostic test wud be conducted and it wud help us know the exact problem and also save u money from treating something else.
NB - a teaching hospital is preferable
Thanks

Any drug for pneumonia?

Get amoxycilline with clavulanic acid +good multivitamin

hersarhn:

I dont knw if i am asthmatic or not,so i complained to a c.h.o and he prescrbed me erythromycin and one drug named "vent" and i felt ok aftwad,but presently i am having nasal serious conjestion which is not allowing me to breath properly,pls help me...

He gave u erythromycin and ventolin (salbutamol).
I wud recomend u continue the ventolin and then u add prednisolone that wud help u breathe well. Then for the congestion u can look for a saline nasal drop(which u can take for a longer time) or xylomethazoline nasal drop.( u won't take it for more than 5 days becos it cause nasal bleading. )

NB - prednisolone causes a drop in immunity so would advise u take a good multivitamin.
