Zyrtec-Do not take this drug or give it to your child

Thanks ! : )

Carolyn, The needles are very thin and if you hold with your thumb and index finger against your skin twirling it back and forth it just kind of falls in with no pain. They also sell TENS units on the Internet and it can be done electronically. They sell acupuncture books in most "China Town" areas. They have recipes in them for most things you can treat. It is so easy and effective.

MM that is very cool..never heard of acupuncture yourself..it has been effective for me though.
Not everyone is good though..I have had good and bad experiences...same as everything..buyer beware.

I control my allergies with vitamin C, calcium, and magnesium pills. When they were more severe I used acupuncture. I bought a book called acupuncture for Americans years ago. With needles purchased in China Town in SF I treated myself. Never had a problem doing it. It is very effective.

right kennyj
and anyone with access to a computer can go to dr weil's site for free and use his suggestions for illnesses...often simple solutions.
most of them are preventive.
...and i know it is not for everyone but I am a recent Vegan and I can feel all my health problems straightening out themselves!
My cholesterol was 300 and I am eager to find out what it is down to naturally...without killing myself with these statins the doc's recommend. I find the older people knew what was good for them...gargling and cod liver oil my father in his 90's even did saline washes that dr. weil advises to keep his airways clean.
I googled ellagic acid and yes it is one of those things our bodies naturally need..I didn't know that it existed but my body does and tells me to eat it at the organic salad bar when I visit whole foods!

One might simply try to eat more bean's, berries and nuts to get dosages of certain classes of NATURAL chemicals necessary for healthy cells along your digestive tract...

As a start- Google: ellagic acid

This made me laugh out loud,
"I would get violent and take it out on my wife, especially when she makes meatloaf. She would get a swift kick to the stomach and I would proceed beating her across the head and throat. I would then turn green and smash through the door."

The safest thing to do when you have to have a drug is to insist on the older ones. They have passed the test of time and are safer.

Another random comment from the long list:
"This is a dangerous drug. I am so sick after taking this. I stopped taking it two days ago, and I feel so bad. A few years ago, I took a anti-epileptic drug (a dangerous narcotic) called Lyrica and almost lost my life. The side-effects and withdrawal that I am experiencing from Zyrtec are similar...although not quite as profound. I almost got in several car wrecks over the past few days...I hit my dog (hard) for no reason except this fast, uncontrollable rage that came out of nowhere (I love my dogs and would never hurt them)...I can't quiet my mind...I'm so tired and can't sleep...and I'm just not thinking straight. This is a scary drug. Please be careful. Before taking this, I was doing well in life...healthy, happy... Just be careful."
