McNabb: “It’s going to be sore

July 29, 2007

Donovan McNabb got through his first practice of training camp this morning and made it clear after he was done that the rehab process from November knee surgery is still ongoing.
“Unfortunately, there are times where there’s going to be soreness,” McNabb said at Lehigh. “When it rains or it’s cold outside, it aches a little bit more. I know I have to be prepared for that and take the time to warm it up a little bit more. … It’s going to be sore, and we’re prepared for that.”
McNabb looked OK at practice, at times moving around gingerly, at times almost tip-toeing around on a field still wet from overnight rains in the Bethlehem area. He worked with a brace on his right knee, a brace he didn’t wear at all during the spring minicamps or at his private workouts with friends and teammates in Arizona.
His passes were inconsistent, although he seemed to get more accurate as practice went on. He said he feels like he’s only at 75 percent of where he’d like to be but has no doubt he’ll be fine by opening day.
“I can do everything I need to do to be successful,” he said. “At 75 percent, I personally feel I can be one of the best quarterbacks in the National Football League.”

He said the toughest thing right now is finding the right balance between being aggressive at practice and pushing himself and being careful and patient.
“It’s tough because you want to come in knowing you’re full-speed,” he said. “But with this injury, the steady pounding is what is bad for it.”
Despite all the injuries, McNabb said he doesn’t dwell on the time he’s missed and doesn’t fear another one.
“I don’t live in the past, I live in the present and the future,” he said. “I don’t focus on when I’ve been hurt. The injuries I’ve had, I’ve dealt with them and moved on. Whatever else will not happen. I’m looking forward to having a great year, exciting the crowd and hopefully bring them a trophy.”
McNabb also said he doesn’t look at Kevin Kolb as his successor and said he expects to be quarterbacking the Eagles for many years to come.
“Thirty is still young,” he said. “I’m still dancing with the young kids. I’m preparing to go out so we can win the Super Bowl. I look to play here another six to eight years. If they throw me out of the league, I stayed longer than usual. I want to be remembered as the best to play the position, and I plan on doing it here in Philadelphia. I’ll be here in Philadelphia for years to come

Pharmacists report 60% summer increase in cold remedy sales

July 26, 2007

Pharmacists are seeing an unseasonable increase in the number of people requesting medication for arthritis, flu, sore throats and aches and pains, according to Lloydspharmacy.

Cold remedies alone are selling at 60 per cent higher than the normal rate. At the same time, 40 per cent fewer people than expected in the summer are buying allergy treatments.

This June the UK experienced the most rainfall since records began in 1914, according to the Met Office. With many parts of England left flooded after torrential downpours, July is unlikely to fare any better.

People also seem to be fooled by the rain into thinking they are not vulnerable to the sun, meaning UVA sunlotion sales have dropped, but sales of aftersun have increased.

The figures were compiled from UK branches of Lloydspharmacy.

Vitamin C “is powerless” in battle against colds

July 22, 2007

BEIJING, July 18 — Taking vitamin C to combat colds is a waste of time, scientists have revealed.They found that the supplements, commonly perceived to be a tonic for winter ills, have little preventative effect and are no use at dealing with symptoms.

Only marathon runners, skiers and others exposed to extreme cold or stress for short periods should bother taking the pills, the study showed.

The researchers based their conclusions on an analysis of 30 studies carried out over six decades and involving more than 11,000 patients.

‘It just doesn’t make sense to take vitamin C 365 days a year to lessen the chance of catching a cold,’ they insisted.

Although the results were based on supplement use, the researchers said drinking orange juice or eating an orange - both good sources of vitamin C - were equally useless.

Their review, published in the Cochrane Library, a respected medical journal, looked at whether those who regularly took vitamin C tablets were less likely to catch colds than others. It also assessed the extent and duration of the symptoms when daily takers did catch a cold.

All those studied took at least two grams of the vitamin a day - around four times the dose normally found in supplements in shops.

Analysis of the figures, drawn from studies conducted around the world, revealed the pills had little benefit. It found that those taking a daily dose of vitamin C were just two per cent less likely to catch a cold. Their symptoms would clear up only marginally more quickly.

The researchers, from the University of Helsinki in Finland and the Australian National University in Canberra, said this would equate to the average person suffering a cold for 11 days a year instead of 12.

‘It would not seem reasonable to ingest vitamin C regularly throughout the year if the only anticipated benefit is to rather slightly shorten the duration of colds which occur for adults two or three times per year,’ they said.

The study also showed that starting to take the vitamin at the first sign of symptoms did little to hasten recovery.

It did find, however, that the vitamin benefited marathon runners, skiers and soldiers training in the Arctic, suggesting it is beneficial if the body is under extreme stress. Last night British experts said vitamin C is likely to benefit only those lacking it in the first place.

Hugh Pennington, a leading microbiologist from Aberdeen University, said the research showed that vitamin pills or even a glass or two of orange juice do little to dry up the sniffles.

However, taking them will not do any harm - and simple belief that they work could still help sufferers feel better, he said.

‘I am not surprised they found that vitamin C was no help, I think that the public’s faith in vitamins is slightly misplaced,’ he said. ‘If you want to take orange juice and it makes you feel good, so much the better. But it isn’t going to make your cold go away any quicker.’ Advising cold sufferers to ‘grin and bear it’, he warned: ‘I don’t think there is any treatment out there that will do anything for a cold.

‘Colds are caused by many different viruses. By the time you have got a runny nose, fever or sore throat it is probably a bit on the late side, even if there was something that would work. You’ve really just got to stick it out.’

Scientists recently concluded that echinacea, another widely-used cold remedy, really does work.

The U. S. review of 14 research studies concluded that daily doses of extracts of the plant - also known as the purple coneflower - can cut the chances of catching a cold by more than half.

It also reduced the duration of a cold by 1.4 days among those using it as a treatment, said researchers from University of Connecticut School of Pharmacy.

Cold comfort, but no cure

July 21, 2007

The lack of reliable remedies for the common cold means most aim to soothe symptoms while the immune system is left to tackle the virus, a battle it usually wins in a week or two. There are more than 200 cold viruses, and up to half of colds are caused by rhinoviruses that specifically infect the nose.Of the more modern medications, nasal sprays containing xylometazoline or oxymetazoline can clear up a blocked nose by damping down inflammation of the sensitive tissues. Antihistamines, though designed to reduce allergies, may also help by drying out a runny nose.

Traditional remedies have long used natural extracts. Echinacea was commonly taken by Native Americans and may help ward off colds by stimulating the immune system.Ginseng has been shown by some small studies to reduce the risk of picking up a cold and lessen the severity of infection. Menthol and eucalyptus have been used for hundreds of years to relieve congestion and sore throats.

The Victorians favoured a footbath with two tablespoons of dried mustard powder for relieving nasal and chest congestion, and there is evidence that spicy food and hot drinks may help a relieve sore throat or cough.

An investigation by scientists at the University of Nebraska suggested chicken soup might help soothe inflammation and relieve congestion.

A series of peculiar studies by scientists at Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania revealed that mental state played a role in susceptibility to colds. Happy people, they found, were three times less likely to get one than their more miserable counterparts, a finding they attributed to stress levels being lower among the happy group.

You never know what wonders things from your bathroom cabinet can do or so it would seem. There are people out there who swear toothpaste cures zits and Vicks vaporub fixes cracked feet.

“Though there is no substantial evidence to prove that these remedies are effective, I do know that they are popular and have been known to work on people who have used them,” says general practitioner Dr Porus Kapadia.

Toothpaste Try applying a bit of toothpaste to a zit that pops up right before a big day. Be careful use only white paste. Gels and whitening pastes contain high levels of hydrogen peroxide that might burn your skin.

Apart from being the 10-minute cure for a headache, Disprin is said to be an effective remedy to treat a sore throat.The toothpaste is most effective when used on the pimple when the whitehead has been formed. Utsa Sharma, an IT professional, says, “I always have a huge, visible mount in the middle of my forehead before an important day, be it a presentation or a meeting.

The toothpaste dries it up and makes it less visible”.

Vicks You know what else is a common problem in the winter other than a cold? Cracked feet.

Ranjita Singh, housewife, says, “I get so caught up with work around the house that I end up running around barefoot most of the times. I think I have tried all creams claim ing to treat cracked heels but noth ing worked. Once I was feeling very cold so I rubbed some Vicks on my feet. Voila, I had soft feet the next morning. I use it regularly now.”

Next time you rub Vaporub on your chest, rub some on your feet too. And then cover them up with socks.

Instead of swallowing the pill, try a gargle with a mediumsized glass of warm water with a Disprin dissolved in it. It will relieve the pain, and the cough, and you have effectively not ingested any drug either.

Milk of Magnesia We all know that Milk of Magnesia cures constipation. Maybe it’s the same principle of flushing-out that makes it very effective to treat skin problems.

Applying Milk of Magnesia in an area affected by an allergy or acne is very effective. Cosmetologist Dr Blossom Kocchar also recommends it in a remedy for severe acne.

Take one teaspoon of Milk of Magnesia and mix it with one teaspoon of water. Leave it on for five minutes and then rinse off with water.

Follow this up with an application of a paste composed of one egg white and mashed garlic. Wait for this to dry and then wash off.

This remedy is supposed to work wonders. Milk of magnesia flushes out the toxins, the egg white helps the skin to dry up and garlic acts as an antiseptic.

Saliva You can fight fire with fire. For acne problems, apply saliva first thing in the morning. Yes, your own stinky, stale, saliva. The bacteria present in your mouth - probably the same that rot your teeth and gums - is effective in killing the bacteria that cause your acne infection.

Words healing wounds

July 6, 2007

Mickey Basner, of Woodmere, writes from experience. Because of his stroke two years ago, he said he understands the tough road to recovery for soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan who have suffered traumatic brain injuries.

Jim Cockren, of Hicksville, who was in a coma for three weeks after a medical accident, empathizes with the more than 20 percent of wounded soldiers who, according to ongoing medical studies, have received brain injuries, mostly from roadside bombings.

The two are members of a traumatic brain injury support group who wrote letters of encouragement to U.S. soldiers now coping with war-related brain injuries. The letters, most of them painfully scrawled by participants with vision loss, were written at a group therapy session sponsored by the Jewish Community Center of the Greater Five Towns.

Officials at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., have seen an avalanche of letters from across the nation, and while they welcome support, they urge groups to channel their messages through Web sites such as americasupportsyou.com. Although it’s unclear whether hospitalized soldiers have seen the letters by Basner, 70, or Cockren, 53, the act of consoling the soldiers is empowering and therapeutic for members, said Lisa Barnett, a social worker who conducts the sessions.
