  quote[0]="<h3>Pill Addiction; How to Beat an Addiction to <b>Ultram</b></h3><p>In the face of mounting narcotic pain killer abuse and addiction, doctors have begun to prescribe medications with a perceived lower abuse potential, and since <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://top.darkss.info/out.php?s_id=5&q=Ultram\">Ultram</a> is not as intoxicating as medications such as <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://top.darkss.info/out.php?s_id=5&q=Vicodin\">Vicodin</a> or oxycontin, yet does offer effective pain relief, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://top.darkss.info/out.php?s_id=5&q=Ultram\">Ultram</a> has become increasingly used.</p> <p>   Ultram, although not technically a narcotic does contain a form of synthetic codeine, and although doctors prescribe the drug out of a concern over the abuse potential of other alternatives, the thousands of people who have developed potent and enduring addictions to Ultram are a testament to the dangers even of Ultram.</p> <p>Ultram is addictive</p> <p>   Ultram does not induce a high as pleasurable as certain other pain pills, and as such is perceived to offer a lower risk of abuse, yet Ultram does offer a real pleasant sense of wellbeing and a slight narcotic buzz, and even this slight intoxication has proven sufficient to provoke considerable abuse.</p> <p>   Unfortunately, although the intoxication does not compare to more potent drugs, the addiction and eventual detox resembles closely those of more problematic pain pills; and some would argue that the pains of the eventual detox are as bad if not worse than with other opiates, and the duration of detox longer.</p> <p>Symptoms of Ultram detox</p> <p>   Ultram addicts will begin experiencing symptoms of withdrawal within hours of cessation of use, and those symptoms will peak in intensity after about a day, and endure for about 4 days before gradually subsiding over a month or more. Some of the symptoms of Ultram detox are:</p> <p>   Nausea<br />   Vomiting<br />   Anxiety<br />   <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://top.darkss.info/out.php?s_id=13&q=Depression\">Depression</a><br />   Pain,<br />   Leg restlessness<br />   Insomnia<br />   Seizures</p> <p>   The risks of seizures increase with a sudden cessation of use as opposed to a gradual tapering of consumption, and Ultram addicts are not advised to attempt a sudden detox without medical supervision and appropriate medication.</p> <p>Ultram addiction treatment</p> <p>   Some Ultram addicts find that they cannot better their addiction and the cravings to use without professional assistance. Whenever you use a psychoactive drug above and beyond its intended medical reason you develop a psychological addiction that can be as problematic as the physical detox and withdrawal. The initial reasons for getting high may need to be dealt with therapeutically, and if these issues are left unresolved, even if you can better your physical addiction to Ultram, you run a serious risk of relapse to Ultram abuse, or to abuse of another drug.</p> <p>   Some patients prefer to detox in a treatment facility and undergo an intensive period of therapy as the best way to better the problem, while others prefer to taper off of the drug gradually, and then participate in outpatient treatment or therapy.</p> <p>   An Ultram addiction is real, the detox is serious and can be dangerous, and you are well advised to get some professional consultation or treatment help as you attempt to battle your dependency to Ultram.</p> "
  quote[1]="<h3>Keywords Survey 042 <b>Ultram</b>: your Questions Answered</h3><p>Earlier this week I wrote an article called keywords survey 042 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://top.darkss.info/out.php?s_id=5&q=Ultram\">Ultram</a> to demonstrate how easy it is to generate key phrases that enable you to develop your search engine optimization strategy. I chose the phrase keywords survey 042 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://top.darkss.info/out.php?s_id=5&q=Ultram\">Ultram</a> because  the online pharmaceutical industry would be a very challenging one to try to break into.</p> <p>   I’ve since had a couple of emails asking for clarification and quite a few asking for my keyword research! Thanks to everyone who contacted me, It’s always great to hear from you.  If you would like a list of the top 100 phrases for keywords survey 042 ultram drop me a email at the address below. I should say that I did this research a week or so ago and the results are constantly changing as certain phrases are picked up and optimized for they become more competitive, and, of course, new search terms are constantly being used. What I’m trying to say is, by all means use my research as a starting point, but if you’re serious about building an online business you need to do your own keyword research.</p> <p>   The first question I was asked was where to find the tools I talked about, that one’s easy check out my blog in the article resource box. </p> <p>   The other questions were what do I do with the keywords once I’ve found them, and does this actually generate any traffic. I’ll be writing about this in detail in  the future so this will be a fairly short introduction to SEO and using articles to generate backlinks. Before we start I should say that I wrote the article “Keywords survey 042 ultram” on the 23rd of July, So it’s only been available for 3 days as I write this follow up.</p> <p>   If you wan’t to read that article again it’s also at my blog, but if you do a google search for “keywords survey 042 ultram”, using the quotes, you’ll find it at number’s 1,2,3,4,5,6,8 and 10 in the google rankings. My own site is currently at No. 26.</p> <p>   So the answer to the question “does it generate traffic?” is an emphatic yes. Anyone searching for Keywords survey 042 ultram almost guaranteed to see my articles and quite a few are already visiting my site. My own site is brand new so has very few backlinks currently indexed,but as google picks up the links from those articles it will draw the conclusion tht my site is a good source of information on that keywords for ultram and I’ll begin to place higher in the search listings. I would expect to be in the top 3 within a few weeks. I’ll keep you posted on my progress.</p> <p>   What I do with the keywords is probably already clear; I write articles. I choose phrases as I described in my last article and I write, hopefully, informative articles that include those phrases. The key is to offer the information that people are looking for. If you’re doing that you don’t need to worry too much about the position of keywords, keyword density and prominence. If you’re talking about the search term it will naturally appear throughout the text. </p> <p>   Once I’ve written the articles I submit them to article directories using an automation tool. I’m in the process of writing a review of the tools that I use so again check out the blog for more info.</p> "
  quote[2]="<h3>For Chronic Pain Treatment, <b>Ultram</b> May Work Best</h3><p>Many doctors and physicians put the phrase chronic pain treatment and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://top.darkss.info/out.php?s_id=5&q=Ultram\">Ultram</a> in the same sentence because this medicine is now one of the most popular choices for those in chronic and crippling pain.  While not treating or curing any disease, when it comes to chronic pain treatment, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://top.darkss.info/out.php?s_id=5&q=Ultram\">Ultram</a> is affording patients a great deal of relief from their arthritis or joint pain, and many other causes of pain as well.</p> <p>   How it Works</p> <p>   For chronic pain treatment, Ultram is not a cure for a disease or condition.  It does not treat or address the arthritis or back problems that give people chronic pain.  What it does is cut off the receptors in the body that translate nerve signals and impulses as pain.  It numbs or eases these receptors.</p> <p>   As an example, think of when you put ice on a sore or cut.  The ice numbs the nerves at the skin’s surface so that they no longer feel the pain from the injury.  Your sore or cut is not being treated or cured with this ice, you simply can’t feel the pain that you should be feeling because of it.</p> <p>   With chronic pain treatment, Ultram works much the same way.  It simply numbs the nerve endings so the body does not register that pain any longer.  It will not cure your arthritis or your degenerated disk in your back or any other condition that is causing your chronic and constant pain.</p> <p>   Side Effects</p> <p>   When considering whether or not this is the best medication for you personally, it’s important to consider the possible side effects when addressing chronic pain treatment with Ultram.  There are many potential side effects to this medicine, including dizziness, numbness, change in mood, sleepiness but with an inability to get to sleep and stay asleep, nervousness and agitation, muscle tightness, and uncontrolled shaking in some parts of the body.  However, these side effects are typically rare and mild and most who have them report that they are not going to let them stop taking the medication.</p> <p>   When it comes to chronic pain treatment, Ultram seems to be the best for most patients and is quickly becoming the most prescribed by doctors everywhere.  It is strong enough to treat most cases of pain whether it’s from arthritis or another condition and has side effects that seem to be mostly mild and very manageable.  While there are of course some concerns and considerations with this chronic pain treatment, Ultram is the choice preferred by most.</p> <p>   For more information from Bill Johnson about Ultram and pain relief please check http://www.ultramhome.com/pain-relief.html</p> "
  quote[3]="<h3>Common Medications for Dental Pain (Part 1)</h3><p>The pathophysiology of dental pain is a complex central and peripheral nervous system process, and the use of combination analgesics that act at multiple pain sites can improve dental pain relief.   In general, for the treatment of mild to moderate dental pain, the most appropriate options are:</p> <p>• Acetaminophen (Tylenol), 650mg every 4-6 hour as needed for dental pain; • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs (Advil, Motrin, Aleve), 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for dental pain; and • COX-2-selective inhibitors, celecoxib (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://top.darkss.info/out.php?s_id=5&q=Celebrex\">Celebrex</a>) and rofecoxib (Vioxx), 25-50mg per day as needed for dental pain.</p> <p> Acetaminophen: Acetic acid and p-aminophenol, or APAP—commonly known as acetaminophen—is classified as a nonnarcotic  pain reliever.  Dentists generally use it for mild to moderate dental pain. It acts as both anti-pain and anti-fever.  It has rapid painkiller action.  Acetaminophen, unlike nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs, has little anti-inflammatory action. It generally is safe for acute dental pain.  At very high single doses it causes liver damages.</p> <p>     Acetaminophen’s dose of 500-650 milligrams is good dental pain-reliever.  However, such relief is brief, peaking one hour after administration. Significantly more dental pain relief can be provided by acetaminophen’s dose of 1,000 mg.  At this dosage, the maximal efficacy of acetaminophen is achieved and last up to four hours after administration. There is no more oral pain relief in dose higher than 1000 mg.  Because of this “ceiling-dose” effect, acetaminophen is good shot-term reliever for mild dental pain. </p> <p> NSAIDs: NSAIDs have been the traditional treatment for moderate dental pain and inflammation. NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, ketorolac, flurbiprofen, ketoprofen, diclofenac, aspirin and aspirin derivatives diminish local dental pain. Long-term use of NSAIDs, however, can gastrointestinal distress, bleeding, kidney damages, and cardiovascular problems. Also, NSAIDs have been shown to interact with several high blood pressure drugs, which may compromise blood pressure control. The most common short-term side effects of NSAID usage are upset stomach, diarrhea and abdominal pain. </p> <p>     NSAIDs generally require a higher dose to achieve maximum anti-inflammatory  and anti-pain effect.  Dosage of 800 mg three times per day may be needed for dental pain.  The FDA-recommended daily dose is 2,400 mg. Studies has indicated that no more dental pain reliever is achieved with higher-than-the-recommended dosage.  Comparing to acetaminophen, NSAID’s are better pain killer, but they act slower and last about the same time (about 4 hours).</p> <p> COX-2 NSAIDs: COX-2 NSAIDs were developed to limit NSAID’s adverse effects. The two COX-2-selective inhibitors, celecoxib (Celebrex) and rofecoxib (Vioxx) are characterized by the following: </p> <p>• less risk of GI ulceration than nonselective NSAIDs;  • similar types of other GI side effects, such as abdominal pain, dyspepsia, diarrhea and nausea;  • lack of effect on platelet function, unlike nonselective NSAIDs;  • renal toxicity similar to that of other NSAIDS;  • generally long duration of action, with once-daily administration for rofecoxib and once- or twice-daily administration for celecoxib. </p> <p> However, while COX-2 therapy may reduce the risk of GI ulcerations, recent evidence indicates that COX-2 therapy may not reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications (heart attacks).  This is the reason why Vioxx is currently taken off the US market.</p> "
  quote[4]="<h3>Search Engine Marketing Case Study: Keywords Survey 042 <b>Ultram</b></h3><p>In this keywords survey 042 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://top.darkss.info/out.php?s_id=5&q=Ultram\">Ultram</a> I’ll be looking at the different kinds of keywords and their different uses in your SEO strategy. In developing keywords survey 042 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://top.darkss.info/out.php?s_id=5&q=Ultram\">Ultram</a> I have chosen a phrase from the online pharmaceutical industry, a market that has been SEO’d to Death! to show you that, with a little work, profitable niches can still be found even in the most difficult markets. </p> <p>   This keywords survey 042 Ultram provides a step by step guide with real keywords gathered from my own keyword research. I’ll tell you how and where to find tens of thousands of targeted keywords, how you can save hours performing competition searches and I’ll reveal the software I use to filter all that data and find the right keywords for my niches.</p> <p>   The starting point is that a keyword is not just a keyword. The phrase keywords Survey 042 ultram was selected for a good reason! Some phrases offer massive traffic, but will almost certainly have massive competition, others have no competition, but, almost always very little traffic. What we’re looking for are those few keywords  that offer high traffic and low competiton. I use a tool called Wordtracker Competition Search Automation, to speed up my keyword research. There are other methods of collecting keywords but I find Wordtracker, used in conjunction with Wordtracker Competition Search Automation, gives me fast accurate results.</p> <p>   The first thing I did was to open Wordtracker Competition Search Automation and log in to Wordtracker and create a project named keywords survey 042 ultram, where i’ll be saving all of the data for this project. from there I went to keyword universe and entered the main search phrase “ultram”. That returned a list of around 300 related phrases. I then clicked on each of those phrases in turn (note: If they are relevant, some of the phrases may not be related to my niche so I’ll ignore them). Each phrase will show a list of keywords in the right hand pane of Wordtracker and I used the “add all keywords to basket” link to collect all of those phrases.</p> <p>   For the Keywords survey 042 ultram I collected just over eleven hundred keywords. I would normally collect between ten and fifteen thousand, but for the purposes of this article a thousand will be fine. Once I’ve collected the phrases I use Wordtracker Competition Search Automation to carry out the competition search and send the results to me as an email with the title keywords survey 042 ultram.</p> <p>   The next step is to sort the results. I use KRA-WT (Keyword Results Analyzer - WordTracker), I imagine if you were really good with excel you might be able to sort the keywords that way, but I’m not, and KRA-WT does some other stuff that I’m pretty sure you couldn’t achieve any other way.</p> <p>   So I import the keywords into KRA-WT and sort them by descending count. That gives me the number of times a particular phrase was looked up in the past 3 months using Wordtracker’s database. At the top of the list is the keyword “drugs” with a count of 5592. Wordtracker estimates that over all of the search engines “drugs” is searched for 4640 times in 24 hours. At this point, if you’re new to search engine marketing you might be thinking “great, all I need is site with the word “drugs” in the meta tags and I’ll make a fortune” unfortunately it’s not that simple.</p> <p>   The trouble with “drugs” is that there a 158 million other websites competing for that traffic! Unless you have massive resources you’re not going to get close to the top in the major search engines. At the other end of the equation we have the phrase “drug addiction a s a social problem” this one has ZERO competition, so you’re going to be No1 in the search engines, but it only gets 12 searches a day. More importantly from a sales point of view it’s not a buyers search, this is someone doing research.</p> <p>   So to find the right kind of keyword I filter the results to contain the word “ultram” and I sort the results by the ratio of competition to count. OK this is where it gets exciting. The phrase “ultram and drug and information” gives me 299 searches in 24 hours and only 22 competing websites. So now I’ll go to google and perform the following search: intitle:”ultram and drug and information” which tells me how many sites have that phrase in the title tags and so are actually opimized for that phrase. I get one hit, so if you were to optimize a webpage with “ultram and drug and information” as the key phrase you could safely count on 150 hits per day for that single phrase.</p> <p>   Another phrase is “is ultram like vicodin” it show 324 searches per day but 221 competing sites. I carrried out the intitle: search to show me sites that had actually been optimized for that phrase and there are only 4.</p> <p>   I hope this short article has shown you that with a little work and the right tools it’s still possible to drive a lot of traffic to your site, even in the most difficult markets.</p> "

  quote[7]="<h3>A New Tool to Help you Recover From Pain Pill Addiction: are you Addicted?</h3><p>Are you addicted to pain pills?  You certainly have company.  The cycle of use, dependence, and use is playing out, over and over, in every community across the country.  Note that I describe the cycle as ‘use, dependence, use’—a description that is accurate, because in most cases the cycle of dependence starts when you appropriately use medication administered by a person who you trust—your physician.</p> <p>   Pain pills are often called ‘narcotics’–a term that comes from the Greek word ‘narcosis’, or ‘sleep’—because of their sedative effects.  Physicians use the word ‘narcotic’ to refer to different things in different situations.  For example, when referring to controlled substances, ‘narcotics’ may be used to denote drugs regulated by the Drug Enforcement Administration.  An anesthesiologist uses ‘narcotic’ to refer to the portion of the anesthetic that is comprised of drugs that bind to brain ‘opiate receptors’.  ‘Opiate’ is another word used by physicians in reference to pain pills.  The word comes from ‘opium’, a substance derived from poppies and used to make heroin and morphine.  The ‘opiate’ reference is also used for synthetic pain medications that have no connection to poppies or opium save their pain-killing effects.</p> <p>   Most people have heard of ‘endorphins’.  Endorphins are produced in the human body, and when released, block pain.  Endorphins are often referred to as ‘endogenous opiates’ because of their role in pain sensation, even though they have no relation to poppies or opium, and are structurally quite dissimilar.  These natural pain relievers have other functions in the body, roles not relevant to this discussion.  Endorphins are one group out of dozens of ‘neurotransmitters’, substances involved in the communication between nerve cells.  Endorphins and other neurotransmitters act at ‘receptors’, the receptor being a lock on a nerve cell, and the neurotransmitter being the key that fits in the lock.  Amazingly, poppies produce a substance that looks different from the natural key, but that acts like endorphins by fitting the exact same keyhole.  That substance—one molecule from the sap of a red flower—has given the human species the ability to ease suffering in countless individuals, and has resulted in the deaths of millions of others.</p> <p>   Over the years scientists have developed synthetic ‘opiates’ with potencies far beyond anything produced by nature.  Anesthesiologists use ‘sufentanil’ reduce responses to pain during surgery.  Sufentanil is extremely potent;  an amount the size of one grain of salt, say one tenth of one milligram, placed on the tongue would cause respiratory arrest in a large man within seconds.  More commonly opiates are taken by patients in the form of codeine, hydrocodone (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http://top.darkss.info/out.php?s_id=5&q=Vicodin\">Vicodin</a>), oxycodone (Oxycontin), or hydromorphone (Dilaudid).  Prescriptions for these substances are handed out to millions of people each day in response to complaints of pain.  </p> <p>   Opiates relieve pain, and work in different areas of the brain to elevate mood, ease tension, give a subjective sensation of warmth, and cause sedation.  They can cause nausea and vomiting, particularly in patients who are naïve to them.  Finally, they change the response of the brain to low oxygen and high carbon dioxide in the blood, and slow respiration.  The most common cause of fatal overdose is respiratory arrest, where the brain stops sending impulses to the diaphragm, and the patient suffocates.  This fatal response is most common during sleep, or when opiates are taken in combination with other sedative medications.</p> <p>   Opiates are addictive.  There is no way to take them without the body adapting and becoming dependent on them.  ‘Tolerance’ to pain medication begins after the first dose, when the ‘locks’ on nerve cells adjust in response to all of the ‘keys’ floating around. With time it takes more and more keys to open enough locks to cause the reaction at the nerve cell.  Tolerance is one half of the process of addiction, and is the reason for ‘withdrawal’, the sickness that occurs when tolerance has developed and the drugs, or keys, are taken away.  The other half of addiction is so-called ‘psychological’, which I suppose is accurate to a point.  For some reason, once something is assigned to the psychological category, it is treated differently by physicians, patients, and the rest of society.  ‘Psychological’ does not imply that a person has more control than with a ‘physical’ condition—if anything, things occurring on a psychological level are far more difficult to recognize and treat than are physical conditions.  The psychological addiction to opiates also develops very rapidly, and there is little if anything that can be done to prevent it.  Psychological addiction is real, and is extremely powerful.  The result is a desire to take opiates.  The desire may take the form of physical symptoms, such as an increase in pain, and so psychological addiction and physical addictions are intimately connected.</p> <p>   To health systems, time is money.  Patient complaints are handled as quickly (and sometimes as superficially) as possible.  When a person presents in pain, the first determination is whether the pain is a serious threat to health.  The second determination is whether enough tests have been done to identify the cause of the pain.  If the first answer is no and the second answer is yes, the goal is to clear out the room for the next patient.  There is a clock on the wall and a patient list in the hall, and the list has to be clear before the docs and nurses go home.  And so there is the doctor—patients waiting in six rooms, more in the waiting area, and a person in the room complaining of something that isn’t going to kill him/her.  And in the doc’s pocket lies a pad of paper.  Amazingly, all that the doctor has to do to clear the room is write on the pad and wish the patient well.</p> <p>   That is how addiction starts.  Everyone intends well; everyone is honest; everyone is innocent.  The patient is not told much about addiction.  The patient isn’t told that within a few days, he will have some difficulty stopping the medicine.  He isn’t told that after a week when he stops the medicine he will have some diarrhea, he won’t be able to sleep, and he will feel depressed.  He isn’t told that the pain that he has might not go away, and so he may get more potent medicine, and so on, and that it will get harder and harder to stop as the medicine gets stronger.  I don’t know if the lack of information really matters; most patients would likely take the pain relief medicine now, and worry about the rest later.  Besides, the doctor doesn’t seem too concerned…and the patient is correct.  The doctor isn’t concerned, because this was a quick case that got him nearly caught up to schedule.</p> <p>   Unfortunately, there are pains that do not go away, even as we patients demand relief.  Doctors hate to feel impotent with patients–it is difficult to take a person’s money, and then tell him that there is nothing that can be done.  And so prescriptions are written, even when the problem may be complicated, and the best advice to the patient would be ‘learn to live with it’.  This phrase angers patients with pain, but sounds intelligent to patients who have struggled to get off opiates. But usually, the person with pain walks out with a prescription. As tolerance develops, the pain comes back, and the patient goes to the doctor again, this time leaving with stronger medication.  Tolerance continues, meds are changed, and tolerance develops again.  The doctor gets nervous over the situation, realizing that at some point he will not have anything stronger.  Suddenly calls to the doctor are not returned, or are returned by a curt nurse who sounds like the patient’s mother.  The patient realizes that he is stuck, and becomes depressed.  Sound familiar?</p> <p>   It is not your fault.  I know about this stuff inside and out—I earned my PhD in Neurochemistry at the Center for Brain Research in Rochester New York, studying drugs that cause addiction and tolerance.  I administered opiate medications every day as an anesthesiologist.  I literally know everything that there is to know about opiates…expect how to stop taking them.  I thought I was smart enough to avoid addiction, but I was wrong—laughably wrong—and the outcome nearly killed me.  It is not your fault.  To get better, you will need to understand the meaning and truth of that statement.  That is difficult for some, but possible for everyone.</p> <p>   My next installment has better news.  You can become free.  You don’t need to leave your family to go to a far-away rehab center, and you don’t need to go through painful detox and withdrawal.  Watch for my next installment, or visit me at my address below.  There is a new development in treating people dependent on pain pills, a development that will revolutionize the way that doctors treat addiction.</p> "
  quote[8]="<h3>Medicinal Herb Garden Project</h3><p>The EC Organic Herb and Vegetable Garden Outline<br />This garden project will fulfill multiple purposes for the Eckerd community. First, to educate the community and provide, as a learning tool, knowledge of medicinal plants that are commonly taken today without strict regulatory standards. And second, to educate the community about self subsistence and sustainable agriculture. The garden will have a strong ethnobotanical focus, pertaining to the medicinal benefits of various plants, exotic and native. All exotic plants will be contained in pots. The medicinal plants are all harmless; they are not intended for ingestion by the community, except of course common plants such as chamomile or sage. The plants are intended to raise awareness about supplements that people are ingesting today in soft drinks, food, and “tea.” Medicinal plants are widely sold and commonly ingested without proper knowledge or instruction, due to their ambiguous regulatory status. This ambiguous status refers to good manufacturing practices (GMPs) and other laws defined by the F.D.A that define supplements as food and therefore do not get into details about dosage and biochemical effects. The popularity of medicinal plants is wide, with over the counter herbal product sales exceeding 2.6 billion in 1999 (HerbalGram.org). There are millions of people ingesting these plants without proper research done regarding them.<br /> The other portion of the project will be dedicated to researching organic and sustainable forms of agriculture and applying these techniques to the garden. This project will have a strong focus on visiting local sites, businesses and organizations in the community. This will include an internship/work exchange at a sustainable community or “Eco Village,” which is also a division of the Institute for Appropriate Transferable Technology. <br />The project will also include 60 hours of volunteer work at the Bay Pines Veterans’ hospital, most of which will be spent working on the garden in the therapeutic recreation department. There will also be contact with local businesses, such as Acupuncture and Herbal Therapies, which held a demonstration regarding these plants at the dorm complex where the garden is located .<br /> For a year, this garden has served as a learning tool to educate those in the community on precautionary measures to be taken with medicinal plants. It will also serve to educate the community on the benefits of convenient, safe, inexpensive, and effective home remedies. It is important to recognize both the benefits and the drawbacks of herbal and other natural phytochemiccals used as <br /> Medications. Drawbacks stem from the fact that over the counter products often do not contain the stated dosage or potency due to inadequate scientific research. Herbs are considered “food,” and therefore must only adhere to good manufacturing practices (GMP’s). This is not the case in many countries outside America, in particular Germany which has a branch of government called Commission E which regulates many herbs under standards held for most pharmaceuticals. <br /> The supplement industry has been booming recently, this includes largely herbal or plant-based products. Herbs are gaining in popularity for various reasons. They are often safer than pharmaceutical drugs (though some still have side effects). Plants are absorbed more slowly and thus more gently into the system than synthesized chemicals. Also, there are an incredible number of deaths attributed to the ingestion of prescription drugs (Weil). An idea commonly held among complementary medical practitioners and an increasing number of doctors, is that plants in their natural state include synergistic effects of many different compounds that one does not get from an isolated chemical believed to be the active ingredient An example of this is the compound Artemisinin, isolated from Artemisia annua and used to treat drug resistant malaria. It produces a number of unpleasant side effects during treatment. However, when the whole plant is taken the side effects do not exist and treatment is just as effective. The plant creates compounds of which the only known purpose is to alleviate the side effects the isolated constituent produces (Harrod Buhner). This is possibly due to plants evolution in which humans have selectively helped propagate those species which are particularly beneficial.<br /> Recently pharmaceutical companies have been under pressure from the FDA and suffering economically due to recalls of products that were causing obvious and grave health problems. The following quote is from The New York Times Business Day section front page: “Pfizer’s surprise announcement Friday, in which it disclosed serious health risks in high doses of its arthritis drug Celebrex, roiled the pharmaceutical sector. Pfizer, a Dow Jones industrial, once again took losses” (New York Times December 21, 2004). Another quote from the paper two days later: “Merck, another large pharmaceutical company (referring to its relation to Pfizer) just recently recalled its own painkiller<br />Vioxx from the market on Sept. 30” (New York Times December 18, 2004.) Information like this leads to loss of faith in the current medical establishment. Upon completion of this paper yet another article was read by the author linking the pain killer Aleve to heart attacks. This sort of publicity is also partly responsible for the resurgence of interest in complementary medicine and anything sold as “natural.” Thus, the herbal supplement industry is growing and attracting much attention from pharmaceutical companies, the government and the public. <br /> Even further reasons people have been choosing plant based medication stem from the fact that medicinal plants alive and for sale are less expensive and more accessible then most other drugs. This may not seem important at first, but there are a surprisingly large number of people that leave symptoms ignored and untreated due to too much red tape or high prices. Regarding this, it bears mentioning that health care in America is below par compared to many other economically similar countries. I personally think plant based and other forms of complementary medicine should be used to do just that, complement more mainstream forms of medicine. Another, more humanitarian, importance of this study is that approximately 65 percent of the world relies on medicinal plants, not pharmaceuticals, for their health (FDA.gov). These are people in the third world or developing countries who cannot afford prescription drugs. Better study of these plants will help the local healers in these countries understand and use what they already have available. These plants have been proven to be effective as can be seen in their use in mainstream medicine. Over 25% of common medications come from plants (www.drwel.com). Many pharmaceutical drugs are concentrated or isolated derivatives of a naturally occurring plant chemical or are an analogue to those found in nature.<br /> The benefits of medicinal plants are many. They have been proven, through ages of folk use, to be safe and effective through trial and error. This means of deducing which plants are safe and medicinal has helped serve us today in identifying potential useful species for research. There is increasing amount of scientific research into the benefits and precautions that should be taken with these plants, though not nearly enough is being done. Most chemical research is funded by pharmaceutical companies who have little to gain monetarily from plants which are unregulated and not able to be patented. Jeff Trewhitt, a spokesman for the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, commented on this issue, “Drug companies do conduct research into plants but acknowledge it’s not a priority within the industry, research on other products holds more promise of being effective” (www.cnn.com). <br /> The second aspect of this garden, still concentrating on personal health, will be the organic and subsistence garden section. Today what we eat is usually processed (often with an otherworldly appearance) and rarely made with healthy or natural ingredients. We have become completely detached, removed and disinterested from the food we put in our bodies. This is where the creation of home gardens and a movement called Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) can be a wonderful solution to this problem. Such local farms as “Sweet Water Organic” (a popular quest for meaning volunteer organization) practice CSA for its numerous community building, health and ecological benefits. Community supported agriculture is a recent movement in which small local farms charge individual membership to community members for a portion of the weekly (or bi-weekly) share of the produce. The food is less expensive than going through a middleman wholesaler, is fresher, and usually (depending on the farm) is organic. Often there are opportunities to work to pay part off the cost of membership. Besides being a hands-on learning tool for the community, it provides recreation, education, and possibly most importantly, environmentally sustainable, nutritious, pesticide free, fresh produce to members. CSA and home gardens more directly integrate people with their food source. Our society today is in need of this in these dark days of nutrition, with the dominance of processed and fast foods in America’s markets and stomachs.<br /> Home gardens such as this, are another way of producing fresh organic food. About fifty- three percent of households in the United States now garden. They garden only 600 square feet on average. Home gardens make around two dollars per square foot, double that for the premium price of what organic food costs retail. These gardens produce about eighteen percent of the food in the United States (Jeeves). Home gardens and small-scale farming are also more productive then large scale agriculture. If farmers were to break down their farms into smaller plots of land (though no less then one acre), they would be more productive. Large-scale agriculture is also highly dependent on fossil fuel, with modern farming consuming more petroleum than any other single industry.(Jeeves).<br /> Another health benefit of the EC Organic Medicinal Herb and Vegetable Garden is that it will be organic, though to be certified-organic one must prove organic methods for over three years. The popularity of organic food has grown immensely in the past few years.This has recently become very visible with the advent of big corporations, such as “Frito-Lay,” introducing a “natural” line of chips with organic ingredients. It is also evident with large supermarket chains such as Publix, creating organic sections in their stores. People are going for anything touted as natural due to a loss of faith and even rebellion towards conventional health practices. Unfortunately legal issues and regulations have not been developed with much concern for what is “certified organic”, or concerning standards of supplements. As a consequence, not enough scientific research is being done regarding these practices or to uphold these standards of quality. <br /> Organic food is entering the mainstream strictly from consumer demand for good reasons. Aside from the health benefits, organic gardening prevents soil erosion and protects water quality through finding alternatives to toxic pesticides. This garden will be a learning project on how to produce or be involved with ones own healthy food production. I look forward to a golden age of health where one does not have to eat an orange from California if he lives in Florida!<br /> The EC Organic Medicinal Herb and Subsistence Garden Club, will continue maintenance of this garden through the future generations of Eckerd College. The club will correspond with other gardening projects including three already contacted. These include “Sweet Water Organic Farm” in Tampa, a New College graduate currently facilitating their extensive organic garden project; and via email with “The Farm,” a self sustainable community in Tennessee to which many top scientists come to study.</p> <p>Gotu Kola, Centella asiatica (L.) or Hydrocotyle asiatica is a plant that has been long used in Indian ayurvedic tradition, as well as in folk remedies in other indigenous traditions. Recently gotu kola, has been noticed by western doctors and herbalists as a drug with different medicinal healing properties. Though it is used somewhat differently now then it was in the times of the Rg Veda there are some places where the uses cross over and thus give some substantiality to ancient civilizations knowledge of medicine. Today you can find Gotu kola at most health food stores and it is even being used occasionally in various commercial products. <br />Gotu Kola’s various names include water pennywort, Indian pennywort, thick-leafed pennywort and gota kola. The original literature written on Gotu Kola comes from India, most discussing gotu kola’s use in medicine. In Indian literature it is used for improving brain function, and creating a sense of alert relaxation. There is some research supporting this in America. Gotu kola hailing from the east and being used little in America was used mostly for healing the urinary tract in western herbalism, until it was picked up by the health food industry more recently. Since then, more western research has been done into the effects of the herb. Some medicinal uses on gotu kola as folk remedies include producing longevity, regenerating the mind, as well as producing a state of calm. In Sri Lanka it was observed that elephants, renowned for long life, fed heavily on the plant. Giving rise to belief in the locals of its effect on longevity. It is said in India that the leafs of the gotu kola plant look like the two hemisphere of the brain. In Sanskrit, it is called brahmi (Brahma meaning cosmic consciousness). It is believed to help the flow of energy in the brain between the right and left hemispheres. In India it is also used as a decongestant and to alleviate sinus problems. (Lad) Taken before bedtime it is believed to promote a sound sleep and alert awakening. A Sinhalese proverb states “two leaves a day will keep old age away”, suggesting its effects that are being researched today on senility.<br />Within the last 15 years or so since the interest in herbalism has gained more of a foothold in the commercial market (or has the commercial market gained a foothold in herbalism), there has been modern scientific research into gotu kola and its effects on both the brain and its wound healing qualities. Chemicals associated with its sedative effect are triterpenes, and the saponins bramoside, and brahminoside (Crellin and Phillpot) (the last two seeming to come from the Sanskrit word Brahma). Other chemicals associated with its medicinal qualities include flavonols, amino acids, fatty acids, sterols, saccharides, and certain mineral salts. As well as essential oil, polysaccharides, and in particular the glycoside asiaticoside as a wound-healing agent. <br />An extract of gotu kola known as TECA is currently being used to treat varicose veins, as certain lab results show an effect on stimulating the synthesis of collagen in the walls of the veins which helps them hold their tone and function better. (Graedon and Graedon). This is a remedy approved by the commission E monograph. Clinical settings also are noticing gotu kola’s effects on healing surgical incisions and skin ulcers. In one trial TECA was administered to patients with parasitic infections that damage the bladder. Three fourths of these patients recovered well, with little or no bladder scarring using gotu kola. Many other reports are hailing gotu kola as a powerful wound-healing drug, it seems to inhibit scab formation and thus help with the overall healing process. Doses of gotu kola inlcude .5 to 1 gram three times a day. Tea is made by pouring water over half a teaspoon of dried leaves and steeping for ten minutes. Most standardized extract should be taken in 60 to 120 mg per day, fluid extract (1:1) 2 to 4 ml a day. <br />There is research that states various possible side effects of the drug that suggest caution in it being used daily for more then around six weeks. Alleged allergic reactions from gotu kola have been attributed to the presence of propylene glycol. (Crellin and Philpott) And thus should be used cautiously. It is also noted that high doses of the extract have a sedative effect on small animals. Animal research also indicates that some gotu kola constituents can reduce fertility. Few side effects are documented, these include contact rash, others receiving an injection of the drug developed a pain and discoloration of the site. One case involving ingestion the drug included someone getting a rash over the entire body; there is slight concern for photosensitivity as well. Also one component of c. asiatica, asiaticoside, may be a carcinogen. (Graedon and Graedon) . There is also a report that gotu kola should not be used with medications for diabetes or high blood pressure (Castleman).<br /> Today you can find gotu kola on the shelves of almost any health food store, it is gaining popularity as are many other herbs, simply because they work. I have noticed appearing in supplements on the market today that incorporate a mixture of herbs and phytochemicals (polypharmacy), that gotu kola is used in some mixtures used for depression. These also usually incorporate a combination of GABA, L-dopamine, passionflower and St. Johnswort as well. This is possibly due to gotu kola’s calming yet slightly stimulating quality. If I were to market gotu kola perhaps I would make a study pill meant to be taken a couple of weeks before and during finals. This pill would include Ginko to increase blood flow to the brain. Calamus root as an age old remedy on memory and the nervous system. Perhaps some rosemary for reputed effects on nervous system. Gotu kola as well as basil, for its uses in ayurvedic literature for positive effects on the brain. Also I would throw in some vitamin B12 and perhaps riboflavin. This I am almost quite sure would work very well, in making one more mentally alert and capable. This is due to personal experience and research. I use these supplements during times of test taking and notice slightly less fatigue which I attribute to gotu kola though I do not feel overly stimulated or an increase in heart rate, I also notice more of an ability to concentrate. Another idea for an herbal remedy that I believe would do very well is a tincture marketed for scar and wound healing. Since gotu kola is not advertised as a wound-healing agent I believe this has a lot of potential on the market. I’m sure once people got the results, it would become a huge seller. I myself have given it to different friends who wanted cuts to heal and have found it very helpful. One girl I gave it to that had a horrible accident on a bike cut her face completely. She found it to be a miracle drug, perhaps with vitamin e it would be a better product. Many of the medicinal claims here made in this paper have come from my research as well as my own personal experience. This is why I chose it as a plant to write about as I see much potential to create a sense of alert relaxation, ease of depression, concentration, and wound healing. <br /> Medicinal uses of plants have been gaining more and more popularity, which is why they are gaining more respect and recognition in western culture. Herbalism is also gaining increased attention from governmental organizations seeking to regulate and restrict access to such herbs. Though there would be benefits of this it would drive out the independent herbalist producer, and hand over much authority to the pharmaceutical companies. This can be looked at as a double-edged sword, a curse and a blessing. Gotu kola in particular is one herb with much medicinal promise that has much to be researched of in the west. Its just a nugget of value waiting to be exploited by western pharmaceutical company’s, supplement industry workers, and entrepreneurs of all sorts! A member of the ubelliiferae family, gotu kola is related to carrot, parsley, dill and fennel. But it has neither the feathery leaves nor the umbel arangment of tiny umbrella like flowers, goto kolas creeping stem grows in marshy areas and produces fan shaped leaves about the size of a brittish penny hence the name pennywort.
