Listening

The art of listening is lost on most people in our modern society. We are all so eager to speak that we don't take the time to listen, interpret what we hear, then formulate our thoughts and finally speak. And just like many of you, I fall under the same category.

The only way to end this vicious cycle of everyone talking at the same time and no one listening is to work on improving our own selves first. We must do this by taking the time to digest what the other person is saying and what they mean. If you are in an argument (or a healthy debate), try to figure out what the other persons stand and point of view is. We so often jump to judgment and give our opinion causing us to neglect others. Everyone has something to say and most often than not, we can learn from them. This article is short because I have finished speaking; now it is time for me to go and listen.

I hope you use this advice and start listening more intently to your loved ones, coworkers, or acquaintances, and watch how your relationships will improve.

The miracle drug that solves everything

Ahhh, the age of modernization; the age of convenience, instant gratification, and the internet. We want things yesterday; otherwise we lose interest and move on to something else. This works the same way with our health. I have a headache so I take an aspirin or should it be Tylenol? I’ll just take whatever is better advertised on TV, because if it’s on TV then it must be good for you.

Many people have this mentality for over the counter drugs and don't realize what a simple dose of these over the counter drug will do at their cellular level. Sure it blocks the receptors of the pain, masking it, the pain is still there but your mind just does not perceive it as pain anymore. In order for your brain to get that drug it needs to digest it. That is where most of the damage is created. HCl levels also known as the stomach juices may be dropped or raised, making digestion of food more difficult, leading to malnourishment. It may be the reason why you are having the headache in the first place but many people don't know this because they are unaware.

This is the typical drug that sometimes people pop like tick tacks and there are many other drugs that are much worse out there.

Before you take any drug, do some research on it and find out what the negative side effects are on it. The side effects of the drug most likely include a minor form of damage to your body and are written on the warning label. Fact is, there is no such thing as a drug that has no negative side effects.

The name of the article is the miracle drug that solves everything, and so that you do not feel cheated I do have that drug and it’s called PATIENCE. If you become more patient you will be able to logically form your decisions. Don't just listen to people and aimlessly follow what they prescribe or advertise, ask why, and do your own research to figure out your own answers.


Typical side effects of aspirin that are recorder by the FDA include Heartburn, nausea, and upset stomach.

Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur when using Aspirin:
Severe allergic reactions: rash, hives, itching, difficulty breathing, tightness in the chest, swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue, black or bloody stools, confusion, diarrhea, dizziness, drowsiness, hearing loss, ringing in the ears, severe or persistent stomach pain, unusual bruising, vomiting.

Aspirin is known for gastrointestinal wall damage and may lead to ulcers and in severe cases, death.

If mixing more than one drug, something as simple as caffeine, new side effects appear.

Typical side effects of Tylenol include Constipation, diarrhea, dizziness, drowsiness, excitability, headache, loss of appetite, nausea, nervousness or anxiety, trouble sleeping, upset stomach, vomiting, or weakness.

Seek medical attention right away if any of these SEVERE side effects occur when using Tylenol Allergy Multi-Symptom:
Severe allergic reactions include: rash, hives, itching, difficulty breathing, tightness in the chest, swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue, dark urine, difficulty urinating or inability to urinate, fast or irregular heartbeat, hallucinations, mood or mental changes, pale stools, seizures, severe drowsiness, severe or persistent dizziness, nervousness, lightheadedness, or headache, severe or persistent trouble sleeping, stomach pain, tremor, vision changes, or yellowing of skin or eyes.

Tylenol has been known to have damage done on liver and kidneys.


Be aware of what you are placing into your mouth. With these side effects known, do you still want to take that drug to make that head ache go away?

If you suffer from one of the conditions commonly treated with acetaminophen (also known as Tylenol) such as headaches, joint pain or fever, be aware that there are almost always reasons behind your symptoms.

The goal of your physician should be to help discover the causes behind the symptoms you suffer from. Then you can learn to rid yourself of these causes, once and for all, instead of using something that amounts to little more than a Band-Aid to simply cover things up.

Do your own research, think for yourself and decide whether or not you want to continue using that drug.
