Answer 1

I clicked on to give you a condensed version of LoriK's answer. In the US it's spelled "ephedrine," and medically it's fallen into complete disfavor because there are safer, more effective alternatives for major its major uses, and the risks are too great for it to be used lightly, as in the treatment of cold symptoms, let alone as a weight-loss aid. I have treated patients with tachyarrhythmias and heart attacks caused by the stuff, and the treatment is more difficult than in those who have the same problems without the drug causing it.

Well, if you mean here on R&S, I hope I do. I know my grammar and spelling are bad (almost wrote is), but it is the message one is trying to convey that is important. True, grammar and spelling help get the point across easier and make it easier to be taken seriously. Spell check does not work all the time and sometimes I try to cut and paste for the reasons above. Yet I can get pressed for time and just write as best I can so the person can recieve a good answer which should not be confused with a scholarly work. My Father, who only has a 6th grade education, can barely write and yet when he does I do not write him back or correct him. He deserves respect and is quite smart on spiritual matters and other areas as well. Plus there are few pieces of equipment he cannot operate. We of the College set could learn from his example. Only a fool passes up knowledge because of grammar and spelling.

The big ones: strokes, heart attacks, abnormal heart rhythms, being "wired" and supposedly psychosis.

The nasty bit about ephedrine was that it showed up in more ways than one: ma huang, ephedra and plain ephedrine were the big names. Toss into that the fact that folks would take ma huang and ephedra, then do some sudafed (different compound, with the same effect on the body) and then some cough syrup (most of 'em contain some sudafed along with the guaifenisin and dextromethorphan) and of COURSE the diet pills (pseudoephedrine or in the old days, phenyl propanolamine, or caffeine or some caffeine containing something or other). Not knowing that they were taking multiple things that had the same effect on their body, they'd end up overdosing (totally accidentally, mind you) and paying for it...

Taking any drug for recreational use the most moronic pastime anybody has come up with. Why not try playing a sport, the Adrenalin buzz is far better than any of the crap that you are thinking of. No recreational drugs are good for you, and as for ephedrine, it it a drug used for people with breathing problems, I used to have it for my chronic asthma years ago.

You can really mess up your liver. The alcohol will mess up your liver by itself but if you take too many of the efedrine it will also mess up your liver..your liver isn't strong enough to filter out all of those toxins. I don't want to be mean, but it's kind of stupid to be doing this. You could really hurt the inside of your body such as your liver, stomach, and heart. It's possible to have a heart attack. I'm getting nausceous talking about it..i overdosed once and I had to drink charchol and I threw up black stuff for days. Not very glamorous. My liver was also dangerously close to failing. Don't do it. Drink alchol and get tipsy. Leave it at that.

Now everyone can cure infertility using this natural remedy http://pregnancyhelps.info
infertility can run in the family and one of the first things the doctor asks you when you go to a fertility clinic is your family history regarding cases of infertility or other reproductive issues.
If infertility is caused by genetic disorder then it's not unusual that one of the kids (your mom) doesn't have it and another does (your aunt).
two months of trying is still to early to be concerned about the fact that you might be infertile and it's also quite early to go to a fertility specialist. Go to a regular Obgyb to get a closer insight and see what ways there are are to improve your fertility rate.
Also remove alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes from your life because they might influence your chances too. Stress is also a risk factor when it comes to infertility.

Answer 8

Once infertility has been diagnosed, there are a number of treatment options available depending on the root cause of the problem. Learn here https://tr.im/522Eq

Infertility is a condition defined as not being able to become pregnant after at least one year of unprotected, regular, well-timed intercourse. Women who suffer from multiple miscarriages may also be diagnosed as infertile. Infertility may be classified into two groups, primary and secondary infertility.

Music allows you to eat more. According to a survey by the journal Psychology as well as Marketing, soft, classical tunes encourage you to take time over your food, so you consume more meals. So, switch off – silence can make you more aware of what you’re adding your mouth.
