A healthy diet usually covers average daily vitamin requirements. By contrast, malnutrition, malnourishment (e.g., an unbalanced diet in older people, malnourishment in alcoholics, ready meals), or resorption disturbances lead to an inadequate supply of vitamins from which hypovitaminosis, or in extreme cases avitaminosis, can result. Medical treatments that kill the intestinal flora—e. g., antibiotics—can also lead to vitamin deficiencies (K, Bi2, H) due to the absence of bacterial vitamin synthesis. [Pg.364]

The National Household Survey on Dmg Abuse (NHSDA) tracks drug, alcohol, and tobacco use in a sample of 13,000 Americans aged 12 and over. According to the 1997 NHSDA survey, 3% of Americans over 12 had ever used PCP. Most of those who reported ever having used PCP were aged 26 and older (3.3%). However, the highest proportion of people who reported use of PCP in the past year were aged 12 to 17 (0.5%). [Pg.411]

Despite being selective COX-2 inhibitors, celecoxib and rofecoxib are not entirely without side effects. Some people have reported that these drugs produce some of the same side effects of other NSAIDs (including nausea, heartburn, swelling of the hands and feet, and skin rashes), especially when taken in combination with other NSAIDs. Side effects are also more common when more than the recommended dosages are taken or the drugs are taken in combination with alcohol. COX-2 inhibitors can also increase blood pressure and cause kidney problems in older adults, and they occasionally cause headaches. There are even some reports that COX-2 inhibitors may actually increase the risk of heart attacks in older adults. [Pg.35]

I was sixteen at the time, and could not obtain LSD from my doctors. The migraines were coming back. So I went looking for the finest LSD that I could obtain for myself. I met many people who were much older than me. I met other migraine sufferers. Several had high positions in the corporate world. Then there were alcoholics and Zen men and women who explored the eternal now with me. LSD is not a party drug to me, it is a medication. [Pg.6]
