Question 1

i work at a dusty place. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

What's in the dust?: Depends on what's in the dust - could be low toxicity or highly toxic depending on what's being mined, manufactured, etc. that's causing the dust. At a minimum a cheap paper dust mask which might be OK for occasional sawdust exposure, but there are more efficient masks for more toxic particulates - P95, P99 that remove up to 95 or 99% of particulates, etc. Your health is priceless - protect it!

Question 2

my skin breaks out because i work at a dusty place. how can i protect my skin?

Accepted Answer

Washing: Be sure to take your baths at the end of the day.  Avoid baths/showers before going to work as this would reduce the skin barriers to the dust or toxins on the job.  Wear long sleeved shirts and try to cover as much of your skin as you can. Otc steroid creams to reduce inflammation/rashes when they occur.  If these fail you may have to seek a new job away from the exposure.

The glucosamine may help with osteoarthritic pain, especially in the knees. However, just buy glucosamine if you want to try it and save your money.

Question 7

why do diets not work?

Accepted Answer

All diets can work: All diets have a basic underpinning: ingest fewer calories than your body b urns so that you lose weight.  The novelty of new diet types usually causes a burst of weight loss.  The problem is that few can sustain the diet and they regress into their previous food intake and exercise pattern which causes the weight to return.

Question 8

how does coldrex work?

Accepted Answer

Foreign medication: This medication includes a pain reliever, an energizer and a nasal decongestant among its active ingredients. It doesn't appear to be available in usa so be careful as to your source thereof.

Question 9

does resvinatrol work ?

Accepted Answer

If you believe...: Resvinatrol is a combination of resveratrol(the compound that is found to be in wine/grapes; which has been reported to be a panacea for just about everything) and other "antioxidants".  Although i might believe there is some merit to the resveratrol; further studies need to be done by the powers that be to determine if that is indeed the case.  I would say this..."let the buyer beware".
