Humidifier Vs Vaporizer - Consumer Reports and Reviews

!±8± Humidifier Vs Vaporizer - Consumer Reports and Reviews

The moisture in the air changes with the seasons and this is the time when most people begin to search humidifier vs vaporizer. Which one is best for congestion or allergies? This is actually pretty easy to figure out once you know what you need the product to do. So in searching for humidifier vs vaporizer, here are a few facts to help you out.

A lot of people think that both a humidifier and a vaporizer are the same thing, this couldn't be further from the truth. They are similar in the fact that they both bring more moisture into the air. The major difference is what kind of moisture. If the humidity in your home drops below 30% it can become very uncomfortable to breathe because it will be too dry.

Then people are left with questioning is it better to use a cool mist or to use steam to get the humidity to a normal point in your home. This can depend on a number of factors such as do you or your children have asthma? Do you have seasonal allergies? Are you allergic to mold? Do you have a cold? After you know what you need the machine for then you need to know what each one does.

A Humidifier releases cool moisture into the air. When you are sick and have sinus infections a humidifier should be used. It will make it a lot easier for you to breathe and will make your skin less dry.

A Vaporizer releases warm moisture into the air. This helps relieve congestion. It does this by heating the water and then releasing it into the air. You can also add certain medications to the vaporizer.

The differences between the two are with the humidifier you have to clean it often because if you don't you could get mold and it could be released into the air from the humidifier. Another way to prevent this make sure that the humidity in your home doesn't get too high when using a humidifier. They can tend to be a little noisy.

With the vaporizer boiling the water there is less chance of mold and you don't have to clean it as often. You will have to make sure that no one gets close to it, because it could burn you or your child. You also have to keep an eye on it in case it catches on fire.

The benefits of the humidifier are it is easy to tolerate because of the soothing cool mist it sends into the air. It will be able to help clear up cold and sinus symptoms.

Benefits of the vaporizer are it doesn't need constant cleaning. You can add medications to it to reduce symptoms of a cold.

I hope this answers a few questions about humidifier vs vaporizer. They both can be huge help with clearing up congestion from having a cold. So it will just depend on if you think you would rather have a humidifier which you have to clean often, but it offers you the satisfaction of the cool mist in the air. Or maybe if you are really sick and congested and would like to add some Vicks in the vaporizer to clear it up. It is really up to you to decide humidifier vs vaporizer.

Our Top Five Insights Into Consumer Healthcare Trends in 2009

!±8± Our Top Five Insights Into Consumer Healthcare Trends in 2009

Our top five insights of 2009 that proved correct...

The H1N1 Flu "Pandemic": Our prediction of the progress and severity of the 2009 H1N1 flu proved better than most governmental health agencies and media outlets. We predicted that the flu's progress would best be prognosticated by the 1977 H1N1 outbreak. In both 1977 and 2008-09 H1N1 abruptly reappeared after years of absence as it shifted both genetically and demographically affecting younger age groups. The attack rate and virulence (severity) of these new strains did not cause the expected morbidity and mortality well beyond the typical annual range. Concern was ramped up by the WHO and others who repeatedly referenced the pandemics of 1918, 1957 [H2N2] and 1968 [H3N2] and a doomsday scenario.

Sanofi Buys A Sales Force & Trade Channel: Sanofi's purchase of Chattem was the subject of a OTCPN press release offering insights not found elsewhere. We see this marriage of convenience as part of Sanofi's global tactical plan to bolt-on acquisitions of various OTC (and Rx) companies worldwide thereby downshifting the risk profile of their corporate portfolio. Nevertheless, the primary purpose of the Chattem purchase is as a conduit to sell OTC Allegra into the US trade. We remain skeptical that this unusual partnership of big Europharma and a thin, opportunistic Southern brand acquirer, while accretive, will result in long term synergies beyond their cash-rich balance sheet, high gross margins, and immediate access to the trade channel.

P&G's Healthcare Product Failures: Early in 2009 we perceived a systemic problem affecting the quality and design of P&G's healthcare products. Sure enough P&G didn't disappoint as they blundered into a string of self-inflicted, corroborating examples of this predilection.

Tylenol's Vulnerability: Up until recently J&J's Tylenol was the Tiger Woods of analgesics - squeeky clean and brillently effective. In 2009 the hidden vulnerabilities of the brand, that were always known to insiders, began to expose themselves. Tylenol suffered a series of bad press moments including a sweeping FDA mandate to reduce the drug's dose exposure across the board. We saw this coming, but not the later plant contaminations, nor the reports of unexpected effects on the immune system and asthma.

Topical Analgesic Patch Uncertainty: Early in the year we pointed out that the pending FDA external analgesic monograph closure and the judicial docket of the LecTec patent infringement suit had the potential to disrupt the analgesic patch category. On the legal front we strongly favored the plaintiff, which proved correct, as several of the co-defendants settled with LecTec. One defendant (Chattem) is now acquired by deeper pockets (Sanofi) while one other remains {J&J]. On the regulatory front we were also correct in predicting pending monograph closure and that the FDA would balk at giving patches a free pass by inclusion.

[Dr. Riker is a former Associate Director, Personal Healthcare at Procter & Gamble, and Chattem's last Vice President of R&D & Chief Scientific Officer. He was a key player in the creation of Chattem's R&D capability, the Rx/OTC switch of Prilosec, the Vicks Inhaler recall, CHPA's defense of topical patches, and the clinical evaluation of anti-histamines in OTC colds and allergy products]

Substance Abuse

!±8± Substance Abuse

Substance abuse is very common in today's culture. There are many different substances that are abused. The most common abused substances are illegal street drugs and alcohol followed by prescription pills and medications. Technically speaking, most anything can be abused if it is taken excessively and without caution or consideration to the suggested directions. Even over the counter medications can be abused. It usually when unseen potential for dependence or abusive behaviors arise out of the general population that the authorities step in and begin to restrict its use.

A good example of this is Vicks inhalers. When the inhalers first hit the market they quickly became a popular item among addicts. Not just for the mild rush they would get from one use but the ability to extract certain amphetamine chemicals from them. Since then, Vicks has redistributed a similar inhaler that no longer contains these chemicals. But the use of Vicks inhalers alone does not usually lead to the extreme behaviors associated with other abused substances.

Substance Abuse can take two different forms: (a) the recreational, not yet addicted individual who continues until they either stop or become (b) the addict who is using and abusing substances to maintain a false level well being.

In the beginning of substance abuse, a common thought is, "I can stop whenever I want to". When in reality they can't. These people usually continue on until they have passed the point of no return and find themselves in the middle of a full blown addiction. By this time, it is too late for them to ever recover control, though brief periods of control may temporarily arise. They will sway back and forth between control and no control, ultimately bingeing for days, weeks, and in extreme cases months or years.

Substance abuse is where addiction takes root and is cultivated and grown. Once the addiction has control, there is little hope for the afflicted individual in ever recovering by themselves. Unless they accept outside help, the addicted individual will probably continue on until everyone and everything around them is gone and they have no where else to go. When this happens, the individual has two choices: (1) Continue on into prison or death or (2) Accept help and save their own lives.

Substance abuse is flirting with disaster. Some consider it a form of Russian roulette. A person never knows when the substance abuse will crossover and turn into a full blown addiction. And by then, hope for the individual to ever be what they once were, "a casual user", will never be again. They have been changed forever. Once an alcoholic always an alcoholic rings true here. The now addicted person will experience countless negative consequences as a direct result of their addicted behaviors until they are willing to accept help and make the change for themselves.

As it has been said, Substance Abuse is the beginning and continuing end of addiction and addictive behaviors. If you or someone you know is abusing a substance of any kind, support them in seeking the help they need. Manor House Recovery Center is equipped with all the resources needed to assist an addicted person in achieving a sober and happy life.

Taking Prescription or OTC Medicines Overseas? Be Careful!

!±8± Taking Prescription or OTC Medicines Overseas? Be Careful!

If you use common over-the-counter painkillers or medicines, or your health depends on regular doses of prescription medicine, this matter should be at the top of your 'to do' list when planning a holiday or trip - along with purchasing adequate travel insurance and checking passport and visa requirements.

These days security at airports around the world is so strict that you could even have problems taking over-the-counter (OTC) medicines to another country - let alone your needed prescription medicines. Ask your doctor to provide written confirmation to carry with you to explain why you need to take the medicines. You will need this document to take your medicine or medical equipment through airport security and customs. Diabetics carrying syringes should be especially careful to have their documentation in order.

Some OTC allergy and sinus medicines, cough syrups, products like Vicks inhalers, and painkillers containing codeine could cause problems at airport security. Common OTC painkillers containing codeine include: Panadol Ultra, Nurofen and Paracodol Plus. In some countries airport officials will not be amused if they find these in your luggage - and claiming ignorance is no excuse! Countries with strict rules regarding medicines include Cuba, Japan, Uzbekistan and the United Arab Emirates. In the UAE many drugs commonly used at home are considered controlled substances and you must obtain prior permission from the Ministry of Health before taking them into the country. The rules often differ for visitors and residents.

If you are travelling with prescription medicines it is important to declare them on the Customs Declaration form - and even more so if you are carrying a large supply that may exceed a country's legal limit. Failing to do so could lead to detention and even criminal proceedings.

Always pack your medicines, both prescription and OTC, in your hand luggage. Give them the same level of importance as your passport, travel documents, travel money, and travel insurance policy. Your medicines must be kept in the original packaging or bottle, with the original label attached (leave the pretty pillbox at home).

Although pharmacies in other countries should be able to replace any lost medicines, it could be an enormous problem unless you are prepared for such an event. For example, the medicine may be called something different, not available, or banned, and unless you speak the language you could be in for a very difficult time.

Talk to your pharmacist or doctor well before your departure and ask them to write down the names that your prescribed and OTC medicines are known by in the countries you plan to visit. They should also write down the dosage and the name and contact information of the prescribing doctor. This will be useful if your supply of medicine is lost or stolen.

If you have medical problems or conditions always see your doctor well in advance to obtain a thumbs up that you are fit to travel. You may need to have vaccinations or a tetanus booster. Some courses of treatment take weeks to complete and may cause side effects.

When purchasing travel insurance it is very important to declare all pre-existing medical conditions. Depending on the condition (or combination of conditions) the premium for your travel insurance may increase. However, do not be tempted to neglect to declare any conditions as failing to do so could invalidate the insurance for any related claims. This would be false economy and could result in a lot of unnecessary expense.

Your doctor should be able to prescribe enough of your medication to last for up to three months. If your travel plans are for longer than this, or open-ended, you should check well in advance that your doctor is willing to provide ample supplies. If you have any doubts about carrying your medicines to another country check with your doctor or pharmacist, or visit the website of the embassy of the country you plan to visit, or contact them for advice. If you need special medical equipment, such as oxygen, you will also need to contact your airline for permission.

European Health Insurance Card holders should carry the card when visiting a member country, but this should never be used as a substitute for comprehensive travel insurance. The EHIC provides free emergency medical treatment in state-run facilities (not private hospitals). However, be aware that you may have to pay for prescription medicines upfront and apply for reimbursement when you return home. It is important to allow extra money for medical emergencies in your holiday budget. Remember that the EHIC and your travel insurance only cover emergency medical treatment while travelling, not travelling abroad specifically for the purpose of obtaining medical treatment.

If you are going on a cruise be aware that medical care is not normally free on cruise ships. It is important to have adequate medical travel insurance. Take adequate supplies of your medicines as obtaining them once onboard could prove problematic and expensive. If you have to pay upfront for medical services or medicines on excursions along the way, check your travel insurance policy regarding applying for a refund.

We recommend that British citizens check with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office website for the latest government travel advice as part of their excellent Know Before You Go campaign. Their advice includes information on taking prescription medicines to other countries.

No matter where in the world you travel it is important to remember that medical treatment is not normally free, unless there is some type of reciprocal agreement - and then it may only provide for emergency treatment. Your embassy will not pick up these costs and without adequate comprehensive travel insurance you could be left seriously out-of-pocket. Why take a chance and risk ruining your holiday!

Candida Treatments for the Sinuses - Adding New Antifungals

!±8± Candida Treatments for the Sinuses - Adding New Antifungals

A friend requested me to discuss about candida treatments for the sinuses. After six months on a strict candida diet and antifungals (rotation of GSE, oregano oil extract, caprylic acid, cinnamon oil, acidophilus, and flax seed oil), he is free of his leaky gut syndrome and has greatly reduced the impact of Candida on his system. But, he is unable to free himself of it in the sinus areas. He has a problem just on one side and gets swelling around his left ear and base of his neck if he eats even the least bit of moldy food (nuts, etc).

He has had this problem on and off for six years, but the swelling up and ear ringing have not left him now for the past two and a half years. The problem greatly increased when he began use of a steroid nasal spray up to the point at which he could smell nothing in his nasal passages except yeast. He has tried grapefruit seed extract and colloidal silver as well (reluctantly, because he is very concerned of its safety although it seems to be extremely effective) for quite some time and still is not close to ridding himself of it. He requested help on this or at least refer him to someone who might be able to solve it.

I would personally think if you still have it, you would find something new to add to your antifungals. There is a one a day garlic pill that is wonderful to be added. I also had sinus for years and after I started having many die-offs it was healed, so I would continue and I believe it would go away. You may also use a Vicks Personal Steam Inhaler made by KAZ model V1200 and put 1-2 drops of tea tree oil in the water. It works great.

If you are seriously interested in approaching your candida problem on an individual basis, then I would suggest you having online evaluation. It is not expensive and the treatment prescribed would be specific to each individual according to his/her needs. It is quite sad to read how very many treatments people have tried without success. Yes, you and many others sound so desperate in your attempt to find the answer. Why not try Biochemic Medicine? You have nothing to lose.
