Woody Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 I've decided the way you determine if you are OLD yet - is to count the number of drugs you are taking. Anyone want to admit to the world how many ye may be taking? Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.

To take the cross of Christ means to depend solely on Him for everything, and this is the abasement of all human pride. Men love to fancy themselves independent. But let the cross be preached, let it be made known that in man dwells no good thing and that all must be received as a gift, and straightway someone is offended." Ellet J.

cricket Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 I have 3 grandparents who are 89, 90, and 95. The 89 year-old takes 6-7 different medications every day and she never smoked or drank alcohol a day in her life. The 90 year-old was a heavy smoker and drank hard liquor nearly every day of her life, she takes only vitamins. The 95 year-old gave up smoking 40 years ago, but was a heavy smoker and an occasional drinker throughout most of her life--she takes no vitamins, and no medication. Each of their husbands, however, did not live past their 70's. Quote

Ted Oplinger Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Does Vit V that every man past 60 is/should be taking qualify? Have not seen any disclaimers on Zippo concerning Vitamin V. Perhaps it has a synergistic effect???

LifeHiscost Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 For those of you who might be considering the use of Ambien http://hsionline.com/2010/11/16/sleep-aids/ Quote: Getting a good night's rest is not worth endangering your life I’m sure you’ve seen plenty of those light and breezy ads for sleep-aid drugs. Just take the drug and wake up bright-eyed and smiling in a sunshiny world! Are there side effects? Well of course there are! But you’re on top of the world, you well-rested pup. Get out there and enjoy yourself! Sources: “Medications for Insomnia or Anxiety Linked to 36% Increase in Mortality Risk” Laurie Barclay, M.D., Medscape, 10/5/10, cme.medscape.com Hard to resist a promise like that. Naturally, the reality isn’t quite so breezy. Risk of permanent sleep Chronic lack of sleep increases insulin resistance and other heart disease risk factors. And that’s just the worst of it. Irritability, fuzzy thinking, headaches, and an out-of-whack immune system are all part of the package. But as bad as it is to miss out on your rest, relying on a sleep-aid might actually be worse. For 12 years, Canadian researchers surveyed more than 14,000 adults every two years. Results showed that regular use of sedative or hypnotic sleep-aid drugs, such as Ambien and Sonata, was linked to a 36 percent increased risk of death during the study period. And this was AFTER accounting for factors such as existing diseases, lifestyle, smoking, depression, etc. The Canadian team reports that these powerful drugs might boost death risk in a variety of ways… Central nervous system inhibition Respiratory inhibition Impaired coordination Impaired alertness Reduced reaction time The most troubling news concerned seniors. Researchers found the highest increase in mortality rates among people over 55. This is largely due to the high use of these drugs in this age group. About 3-to-10 percent of the general population uses sedative/hypnotic sleep-aids, compared to about one in every five seniors. Four more ways to go When Dr. Spreen sent me the item about the Canadian study, he included this note: “Imagine even a 2% increase in deaths associated with tryptophan, melatonin, valerian, kava, etc.” We know what he’s getting at, of course. FDA officials would be up in arms, warning consumers to immediately discontinue use of those non-drug sleep-aids. God blesses! Quote Lift Jesus up!!
