See book keywords and concepts |  Excessive sweating can also occur when the chemical balance of the nervous system is upset by hypoglycemia, hyperthyroidism, menopause, and withdrawal from alcohol or addictive drugs.
Conventional medicine uses several treatments for excessive sweating (see under Considerations). Generally, herbal treatments produce very few or no side effects but must be used consistently to control the condition.
Profuse sweating is a sign of overdose or intoxication with many common household products, including depilatories, eye drops, insecticides, mouthwash, and pain relievers. |

See book keywords and concepts |  It's time for them to start asking what's really wrong with their "hyperactive," "depressed," and "anxious" patients, and to start uncovering and treating the causes of their problems—not just hiding their symptoms under layers of dangerous and addictive drugs. And, above all, it's time for psychiatrists to abandon the flaky idea that they are treating an invisible "mind," and realize that all of the emotional, behavioral, and thought problems they treat stem from disordered brain cells (neurons).
This realization, in my opinion, is the key to the future of psychiatry. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Schisandra also increases the effectiveness of benzo-diazepine tranquilizers, such as chlordiazepoxide (Librium) and diazepam (Valium), allowing patients to take lower doses of these potentially addictive drugs. The herb can be used by itself to treat insomnia, dizziness, excessive sweating, headache, fatigue, and heart palpitations associated with emotional stress.
• Skin cancer. Animal studies have found that schisandra contains compounds that prevent the development of skin cancer after chemical injury. |

The sad story of oxycontin is just another among a long string of addictive drugs that have burst on the American scene, and have left lasting problems which take years to deal with, and often are never curbed entirely. For example, oxycontin's older cousin, oxycodone, sold as Percodan and Percoset, has been addicting people for decades on end. There has never been a successful way to stop getting this drug into the hands of those who are addicted and abusing it. The same could be said for dozens of other drugs, from Xanax and Tylenol with codeine, to Darvon and Ultram. |

Psychiatry's love affair with potentially addictive drugs stretches back to Freud and his contemporaries. In fact, one of the most famous cases ever presented by Sigmund Freud—that of "Anna O.," who was actually treated by Josef Breuer—was notable not because Breuer cured her (she later spent almost two years in an asylum), but because she was one of modern psychiatry's first recorded cases of iatrogenic (doctor-caused) drug addiction. |

See book keywords and concepts | | This argument is most persuasive in the case of highly addictive drugs such as nicotine, where naive users run a high risk of getting themselves trapped in an unhealthy habit due to initial misjudgment. Punitive taxation appears less justifiable in the case of cannabis, not only because it has low addic-tivity, but also because of the ease with which home growers can evade excessive taxes.
In the following discussion, we will examine the external costs of marijuana abuse as the basis for a prospective harmfulness tax. |

OVER-THE-COUNTER PAINKILLERS
Because the over-the-counter painkillers such as aspirin, ibuprofen and acetaminophen are so common and we can buy them without a prescription, we tend to think they're harmless and that we can take them every day, but they actually have side effects that can range from uncomfortable to deadly. |
Stanton Peele
See book keywords and concepts |  It is important to note that the processes of negative contexting and the supplanting of thoughts of reusing addictive drugs are not the same as those involved in psychological "therapies" that attempt to desensitize or decondition people to cues that have come to be associated with drug use, withdrawal distress, or illness. Rather, the processes involve an active reinterpretation of cues and the replacement of them with thoughts that are inextricably related to the identities and perspectives that are emerging and being pursued in the more total life scheme of the person. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Patent medicines, based on addictive drugs, were a billion dollar mail-order business. Rectified whiskey was for sale in the country store and the saloon. Makers of addictive nostrums were the largest single advertisers in the newspapers and magazines. During the Spanish American War, suppliers of bully beef to the armed forces went too far. Fighting men sickened and died from eating rotten meat. The meat scandal created a public uproar. Crusading magazines began exposing the shocking use of additives, fake flavorings, and colorings in canned and bottled food. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Most potentially addictive drugs make people feel good. Cocaine, Ritalin, and amphetamines are stimulants that make people feel energetic and confident and believe they are thinking especially clearly. Benzodiazepine tranquilizers and barbiturates make people feel relaxed, help them sleep better, and free them from anxious and nervous feelings. Heroin, codeine, hydrocodone, and other narcotic drugs not only relieve pain but create a warm, euphoric elevated mood. The more rapid and extreme the mood effects, the more likely that a drug will be, in the official terminology, "abused. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The amount needed to produce the wake-up and stimulation effect increases with regular use, as is typical of addictive drugs. Larger and more frequent doses are needed for the same effect, and symptoms can develop ifwe do not get our "fix." Eventually, we need the drug to function; without it, fatigue and drowsiness occur. So caffeine is a natural stimulant with both physical and psychological addiction potential and with withdrawal symptoms similar to the symptoms of its abuse. |
Ann Blake Tracy, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | Yet have we really learned anything from these devastatingly disastrous mistakes in our past with such seriously mind-altering, highly addictive drugs - drugs which in the beginning were thought to be "safe"? How long can it take us to learn that once out there it takes lots of time and red tape to remove them from the market? And even after they are removed, stopping their illegal use once a large population has become addicted to them is next to impossible. |
Earl L. Mindell, R.Ph., Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | Beware of physicians who insist that addictive drugs won't hurt you; that's their own form of denial and it's no help to you.
Keep in mind that two of the primary symptoms of addiction versus a purely physical dependence are denial that there is a problem and repeated attempts to stop taking the drug, followed by a relapse. One of the requirements for getting unhooked from a drug is having the personal honesty to admit there's a problem and the courage to follow through and take action. |

In some cases, diarrhea may accompany fecal incontinence, in which the person cannot control bowel movements. This can result from surgery, spinal injuries, stroke, dementia, or damage to the nerves that serve the rectum.
Use any of the following herbs for diarrhea until symptoms subside. |

"Since betel is nonaddictive, it does not appear on any of the international lists of addictive drugs" (Roth et al. 1994, 141*). Betel nuts are freely sold and easily available in all the countries of Asia. In Europe, they are occasionally available in pharmacies.

See book keywords and concepts | | The large majority of us know nothing of addictive drugs and how to deal with withdrawal. Why aren't all of you in drug rehabilitation and drug enforcement doing something about this situation if these prescription drugs can be so addictive and dangerous? Why are you not more vocal in alerting the public?" (As you can see, I ask a lot of questions.)

Iliades, an ear, nose, and throat specialist, can still remember the day on which his journey to addiction began. He was suffering from a nasty sinus infection and facing a waiting room full of patients. Every year, pharmaceutical companies give each practicing doctor thousands of free drug samples, and Iliades was no exception. In this case, he had been left an entire case of a cough syrup that contained hydrocodone as the narcotic. |
