A. Well used by young children it can cause brain damage (just like alcohol but probably not as bad) hard to say I've smoked cigarettes, cigars, pipes and hookah's for the last 18 months and nothing (disclamier I rarely inhale so this may throw your question off) I actually heard something that pipe tobacco smoke releases nitrix oxside (I really do stink at spelling) in the brain which is a stimulant which makes you more focused (Ever wounder why Einstein was so good at what he did?) So it's a hard question ask your doctor sometime that's my best advice. As far as short term effects it will give you a "buzz" and will lessen your appette and make you feel relaxed.

What are the effects of taking a daily dose of haldol while under the influence of cocaine?
Q. What are the effects? For a normal person? For a schizophrenic? Long term and short term effects? Very curious.
Asked by London - Mon Sep 7 15:30:48 2009 - Medicine - 1 Answers - Comments

A. Due to its strong central antidopaminergic action, it is classified as a highly potent neuroleptic. It is approximately 50 times more potent than chlorpromazine on a weight basis (50 mg chlorpromazine are equivalent to 1 mg haloperidol) Mixing any drugs with cocaine can be dangerous because it speeds up your heart. The effects may include intensified hallucinations or even cancel each other out for a normal person or schizophrenic. any long term cocaine effet can cause heart attack's, strokes.. you name it.. Good luck, I'm not a pharmacist however you can email me if you have any other questions about this subject. -Will

A. As a girl who has been to both types of school ( im currently at single sex) i can honestly say that they both have there pros and cons for both i enjoyed the mixed because the boys chilled the bitchy atmosphere caused by some girls . However now im at the single sex i have to say it has helped with my exams as i am not distracted by boys although the boys and girls meet on a lunch time so we do get some interaction with the boys . At the end of the day its your decision and theres good and bad in both p.s. dont listen to the idiots that say you turn out gay no you dont theres homosexuals in every walk of life not just at single sex schools !

A. What kinds of "therapeutic effects" are you expecting? Amoxil is an antibiotic. Not a compound with many uses, antibiotic effects being but one. Amoxil is an antibiotic, period. It kills certain spectra of bacteria. The therapy is that you hopefully won't have so many harmful bacteria running around your system anymore and your immune system can take care of the remainder. Do be mindful of the side effects, however. Also realize that using antibiotics can be harmful if used too often when not necessary. Your immune system comes to depend on them and you develop resistant strains.

Asked by aljea - Fri Aug 31 03:23:41 2007 - Pregnancy - 3 Answers - Comments

A. Using cocaine while pregnant can have devastating effects on a fetus. Cocaine increases the heart rate in both the mother and baby and the supply of oxygen and blood to the baby is reduced. Because of the reduced supply the baby is more likely to be small and grow slowly. Several cases of bleeding in the brain have been reported in babies whose mothers were dependent on cocaine. A number of fetal abnormalities have been reported concerning the use of cocaine during pregnancy. If cocaine is used close to birth the baby may be born excessively active and appear distressed and restless. Cocaine use during pregnancy has also been associated with an increased risk of stillbirth, preterm delivery, smaller-than-normal head size and low… [cont.]

How to reduce effects from nicotine withdrawal?
Q. Hi I just quit using chewing tobacco and now I've been really dizzy, confused, and lightheaded. I read online that this is from nicotine withdrawal effects.

A. lean muscle needs protien male or female it does not matter.protien helps you lose weight,it turns off hunger signals ,it also slows down the absorbtion of some carbs.preventing an insulin reaction.it feeds lean muscle mass which burns fat.without ample amount of protien the body will sometimes burn its own muscle to get at the protein it needs.some proteins have fillers and are hard to absorb,so i like the natural whey protiens from health food stores,no side affects unless your allergic to milk,then go with hemp proteins which may be better anyway.

Asked by - Wed Mar 28 13:02:44 2007 - Other - Pregnancy & Parenting - 5 Answers - Comments

A. Whether or not the parents are drunk or high at the time of conception really has no scientific evidence of being harmful for the child. Now, if the mother continues to abuse alcohol or drugs (prescription or otherwise) during her pregnancy, the effects on the child will most likely be harmful. Depending upon how severe the substance abuse is, the result could show at birth or it could take days, weeks or even months. There are too many factors to give a definitive answer to this question, but it was a great one!

What are the effects of lowering corporate taxes?
Q. I had a debate with someone and argued that lower taxes lead to companies investing capital in new projects which require new labour, thus increasing jobs. These new employees, in turn, are the ones who pay extra taxes, so the government still receives roughly the same amount of taxes because of this trickle-down effect. Am I right? Also, what are other effects of lowering taxes on corporations? Is it a good idea if the country is facing a deficit? For economic growth? Thank you
Asked by Alex T - Sat May 7 13:13:18 2011 - Economics - 2 Answers - Comments

A. First of all you have to understand that corporations don't pay taxes; they just collect them from customers, employees or shareholders. when you decrease the tax on an activity, you will get more of that activity. In this case you would get more corporate activity in total. You would also be shifting corporate activity from other countries to the US (which currently has the highest corporate taxes in the world). every year Procter & Gamble has to decide whether to invest their profits in US divisions (high tax) or foreign divisions (low taxes). The tax rate influences that decision.

Studies on US Navy crew members living in Submarines during extended tours, have shown that their calcium excretion falls rapidly to 50% of pre-patrol levels during long patrols and remains low for many weeks after return to fresh air. This has previously been attributed to a specific effect of continuous exposure to the inevitably raised ambient CO2 (carbon dioxide) levels, but other environmental factors cannot be ignored, in particular isolation from sunlight, which leads to reduced skin synthesis of vitamin D.
