There are lots of weight loss problems that currently exist, but it seems there isn’t enough weight loss solutions. If we had more solutions, we wouldn’t be in the shape we are now, with so many people over weight. Especially the American population, where our citizens are probably the most over weight people on the Globe. As of right now, do you have any weight loss methods or solutions you could offer to someone who was looking to take off a few pounds?

Everyone who chose to lose more weight as their New Year Resolution in 2011, needs to come together as a group online and offer diet support to each other. If you can get a starting point and create it in a group environment; then we could begin some different organizational methods. Let the majority of the weight loss group decide agendas, daily nutrition, daily workout programs, and coming up with a group exercise routine, in which each person would have their own exercise. The more you can do  to create participation and make each person feel they are truly needed in a dieting group online, the better odds for success we could all see.

It would be nice if someone had the best weight loss pills in the World in their pockets right now and we could all take one each day and be slim. If it was that easy to do, no one wouldn’t have weight issues today. There is a diet product that has proven to work and if used correctly over a long term time period, you can benefit from it. This proven diet product is called Slim 9 and it might just be the answer we were looking for in 2011. This proven method for losing weight is a long and complicated formula in the diet lab, but its an easy one for someone to execute, if they’re serious about removing that excess body fat.

There is a more cost-effective method for those who want to try the weight loss pills from Slim9. Dieters choosing to use the Slim 9 ways for losing weight, can save money by purchasing the Slim Nine Product in 6 month supplies. It works out to be a final savings of over $40 per 6 months or about 90 bucks per year. For those who can’t afford the 6 month supplies of Slim 9 up front, there are alternative methods for buying this diet product in smaller quantities.

Now there is more to Slim 9 than just the pills they supply for weight loss. Other weight-loss related products come with the Slim9 name on them. Items such as a exercise wheel, pedometer, a Slim 9 yoga mat, and there is even a jump rope which acts as a calorie counter too. So clearly Slim 9 is more than just a diet product, but a series of weight loss tools to help a out-of-shape and over-weight man or woman, to get in shape and take off that weight, so they can start living a more healthier lifestyle.

Actually, “MBT” stands for Masai Barefoot Technology. This new technology in footwear is designed to help people walk more naturally. The mbt shoes are shoes for the future, but you can buy them today! If you have any health related problems with your feet, legs, or back, it could be due to the shoes you are wearing now. Our modern shoes were not designed in the natural ways, we have been walking for thousands and thousands of years on this planet. By changing the design of our current shoe styles, we may can return to our more natural ways of walking and running around. If we could do this, we could see a sharp decline in the health problems we see with so many people today and a lot of the blame points to the shoes we have been wearing for the last few decades. I would like to get a pair of these MBT Shoes and see if they could correct some of the pains I have in my lower back. I don’t know if my shoes caused the lower back pains I have, but it does get worse, the more I walk around. There could just be something to these new shoes, you can find in the footwear section at your favorite shoe store or you can just buy them online.

Coming up with new ways to lose weight is hard. Just for the simple fact, so many people are brainstorming over products, exercise tips, and lifestyle changes for losing more weight. How great would it be, if someone came up with an idea to have a Weight Loss Camp? Well dream no more. This idea (like so many other weight loss ideas) has already been created, invented, and is on the shelf! Anyone who is carrying around a little more weight than they should right now, could sign up to become a new guest, for a camp dedicated to weight loss seekers. A chance to bond with others, just like yourself, who share the same desires to lose more weight too. This camp would seem to be the answer to a lot of weight loss prayers out there.

Losing weight can be hard. It doesn’t have to be. It’s all about finding ways to change your current lifestyle patterns, so you can become a leaner and trimmer person. An invitation to this Weight Loss Retreat would make a great Christmas gift this year. I can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t want a vacation and one for the sole purpose of losing more weight. I think this is a great idea, for those people who have a hard time staying on a diet. It would be a lot easier, to stay on a diet, at a place designed for men and women who hope to lose weight in 2011. The Obesity Statistics in this country is alarming. So many people are overweight. Not only do these people feel bad about their appearances (in most cases), but they are living a very unhealthy lifestyle. Too much stress on the heart and other vital organs in the body; which keep us going each day.

If you are someone that considers yourself over weight, try to do something about it now. Check out this new idea of having a Weight Loss Resort, for over weight folks. If this program meets your budget, this would be the best way to lose weight in my opinion. If it doesn’t meet the family budget or your own personal finances, then strive hard in 2011 to begin taking off some of that weight. It didn’t get there over night, so it won’t get removed over night either. Just losing 5, 10, or 15 pounds can make a huge difference. You can actually increase your life span, just by losing a few pounds. Don’t set any high goals in your weight loss plans. Make simple goals that you can achieve every 10 days or so and go from there. Here’s to your health in the New Year!

Running off to the local health store to buy vitamins? It would be a lot easier, if consumers could just buy their health products online. Vitamins and other quality health supplies which we all need for proper, daily nutrition for our bodies. We can’t stick our head in the sand any longer and play the role of the ostrich. I believe the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables is something like 6 servings per day? None of us get that! We just don’t have the time.

This is where those high quality vitamins and other nutritional products can help. Don’t worry if you miss a serving of fruits or vegetables here or there. Just use these vitacost coupons to go buy some discounted health products online, so we can fill in those nutritional gaps. I’m sure if we all ate properly and did all of the correct things in life, we would live to be a 100 years old and feel great. If anyone is able to accomplish that health feat, they probably missed out on a lot more important things, like “life” it self. Enjoy your life, eat as many good things as possible. Too much of any one thing is bad. Eating a variety of foods each day and week is the key to healthy living. Finally, during those busy times, when our healthy lifestyle takes a back seat to our life’s activities. Just make up for it with some of the nutritional products you can order online. This my friends is truly creating a simple life and this blog always promises to deliver that!

Many will remember little Stephanie Tanner from the TV show Full House. This was a family television show; which featured 3 sisters, a dad, and two friends of the Dad, all living under one roof in San Francisco. The Dad was Bob Saget from America’s Funniest Home Videos or Danny Tanner on Full House. The brother-in-law to Danny Tanner was Jesse (John Stamos) and his best friend was Joey (Dave Coulier). The oldest sister was played by Candance Cameron (sister of actor Kirk Cameron from Growing Pains) and her name was D.J. Tanner. The youngest sister in the Tanner Family was Michelle Tanner and her character was played by the Olsen Twins, as most people know as Mary Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen. The middle sister was Stephanie, who was played by Jodie Sweetin.

What seemed like a happy family on TV, wasn’t really going that well for Jodie Sweetin or the middle daughter Stephanie Tanner. Just recently, Jodie would appear on the Doctors TV Show; which features Dr. Travis Stork, Dr. Lisa Masterson, Dr. Jim Sears, and Dr. Drew Ordon.

Jodie would go on to explain how her life drastically changed after the TV show Full House stopped taping in 1995. Her life would begin spiraling out of control with drugs and alcohol. She didn’t have a drug of choice. Jodie was game for anything and this would lead her down a very bad road of being addicted to alcohol, meth, and other illegal and prescription drugs.

At the age of 20, Jodie would get married to a Los Angeles police officer, who was also abusing drugs. She would divorce her 1st husband in 2006 and get married again in Las Vegas to a man she had only been dating for 2 months. She is currently divorced from her 2nd marriage, but did have a child in her 2nd marriage. It was the birth of her daughter Zoie in April of 2008 that made her want to clean up. She would learn that drugs was not a easy habit to stop and it took her until December of 2008, before she finally came clean. Next month, in December of 2010, will be the 2 year anniversary of her staying clean from drugs and alcohol.

The cute little Stephanie Tanner, who went through years and years of abusing drugs and alcohol, is now a lovely young lady at the age of 28. She seems to be on the right road and she credits her daughter for giving her the strength to stop using. Jodie Sweetin is not Lindsay Lohan, another famous child actress who is constantly getting in trouble with the law. Unfortunately for Lindsay Lohan, the California attorneys and judges continue to just give her slaps on the wrist, as she continues to this day with her addiction troubles. While it would be very easy for Jodie to go into hiding and making us forget about her troubles. She has took a stand and wants others to learn by her mistakes. So she has took the time to write a book about her battles with drugs and alcohol addiction.

Jodie Sweetin’s new book is about the problems and troubles that come with having a drug addiction or an alcohol addiction. The star of Full House even made time to appear on the Doctors television show, where she told everyone about her addictions and is making a sincere effort to reach others. Reading between the lines, I got the impression her main advice to addicts is don’t give up. No matter if you visit a drug rehab 2 or 3 times or if its 10 or 15 times. Just do whatever it takes to get your life back, so your family and friends can have the “old” you back. All of the troubles and miseries you might have now; will leave when the abusive patterns towards alcohol and drugs stop. Jodie’s new book is called UnSweetined. If you or someone you know has a problem with drugs or alcohol, this book written by Jodie Sweetin called Unsweetined might just hold the answers to some of the questions you have now.

I have had a lot of requests for information about the former child star from Full House and for information on her book. I hope this blog post will answer all the questions about which TV show she played in, her character on the TV show, and the details about her book on the personal side of Jodie Sweetin. She could have easily avoided the cameras and stayed away from coming into our living rooms with her worse and darkest days. Instead she stood up, took responsibility for her actions, and is now actively trying to help other teens and young people to avoid the mistakes she made in life. She will never be able to get those years on drugs and alcohol back, but at least she has a lot of good years ahead of her.

Actress Lindsay Lohan

I’m afraid someone like Lindsay Lohan will not see her 28th birthday, like Jodie has seen, and if she doesn’t, there will be a lot of blame to pass around in the California legal system. Yes, it is up to the abuser to stop and this must come within their own self. If the courts continue to let her get off as easy as she does and her star power and fame has played a big part in the justice system’s decisions, she will never have the opportunity to write a book like Unsweetined. Or to use her celebrity fame to help others to stop using.

In most cases, it only takes 1 week to get through the worse parts of someone who suddenly stops taking a prescription drug, an illegal drug, or an alcoholic drink. Go ahead and sacrifice that 1 week now of your life. By taking the time to throw away 1 week of your life now, it can save you from throwing away years and years of your life later on. Stopping is not a day to day thing. It’s actually a hour to hour or a minute to minute thing. With each passing minute, your body will slowly rid it self of these drugs and alcohol and you will begin to feel better soon. To learn more and to hear the words from someone who knows; be sure to check out the Full House star’s book called UnSweetined by Jodie Sweetin, who played the middle sister Stephanie Tanner.

There is really a lot of helpful information, in some of the online diet reviews Internet users can check up on. These reviews often target specific diet pills or diet supplements, with other products that are similar. They give a variety of different ratings, so consumers can make an educated decision, on which product they want to try first. These reviews often help consumers save money. By buying the best product the first time and not having to buy a lot of different dieting products, to find one that really works. Perhaps you have heard some good things about clinicallix and want to find out more information. This diet product is featured in an online diet review I just looked over. You can see for yourself, if you think it ranks well with its peers, in this dieting category for dieting supplements. Have you ever seen an online diet review before? If not, be sure to look around online for them. They are located all over the Internet and one of these reviews can help to save you money. By giving you a diet tip on which product to try first and ones that you might want to avoid buying for diet help.

Is there any exercises you hate to do? If you don’t like doing them; then chances are they are the exercises you need to do the most. For me, I don’t like doing sit-ups. I know I have a lot of extra fat around the belly and stomach areas. I have the typical pop belly for a man. I wish I could get rid of it, but I’m afraid of all the pain it will cause. It was easy to get, but would take some major exercising to remove it. I know sit-ups would have to play a big role in my fat burning exercises for the stomach. I don’t like doing sit-ups, because I do get very soar in the mid-section of my body. Do you have a exercise you don’t like to do? Please share some of your exercise routines that you just don’t like to do. How high does sit-ups rank on your list of exercises; which you don’t like to perform?

30 Days to a Well-Mannered Dog – Book

A book that helps dog owners get their dog in shape or help them to lose weight. Dogs are just like humans and being over weight can lead to a lot of serious health issues for them too. This book by Tamar Geller helps to provide dog owners the basics they need, for keeping their dog in good shape and not over weight.

For those people who have been diagnosed with herpes simplex, there are a number of treatments for this viral infection. Someone who gets a viral infection, will need certain medicines and treatments to rid their bodies of these viruses. I know the term “herpes” is an embarrassing and unpleasant thing to hear and especially if its you that has the herpes virus. Don’t let the name or some of the myths that are floating around about herpes scare you. This is a very common viral infection; which a large majority of the population has already had or will get in their lifetimes. Just know there are a lot of great treatments available for the herpes virus and something that can be controlled real easily, if treated properly. If you think you have herpes now, be sure to schedule an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible, so you can be tested, to see if you do have this viral infection; which affects so many people.

I know it must be a daily struggle, for those of you that have to battle the pains; which come from arthritis. There is a lotion out now, you may have not heard about, but the early signs are certainly encouraging. The msm lotion might just be the closest thing we have to a cure for arthritis. Patients who have struggled to cope with the aches and pains associated with arthritis, did find some relief with this MSM in lotions.

Another thing that has the doctors and scientific community buzzing right now, is the possible effects this MSM might have on osteoarthritis. It doesn’t show a lot of healing powers when MSM is by itself, but if it is combined with a glucosamine; then the results become quiet different. The problem for arthritis suffers right now and those who have to deal with osteoarthritis each day, there really isn’t any products that currently offer this combination treatment, for it to really be an affective treatment plan. Maybe things will change real soon, but there are some products that have a few of these active ingredients in them and will help to lower the awful effects; which come from patients battling arthritis and osteoarthritis. I’m sure a total cure will be found one day and until that day comes, just look for the best possible products; which will help reduce the symptoms and effects of this painful disease.

The National Football Leagueis known for its big, strong, and very fast players on the field. In some cases, it seems some players have just gotten too big and strong, even for the NFL standards. The biggest concerns came in Week 6 where we saw a major collision in Philadelphia and also saw the Steelers James Harrison deliver two massive blows in the same game. The NFL Commissioner and other high-ranking NFL Officials have came out and said enough is enough. Due to some of these big hits and mainly for defenseless receivers; there is going to be a lot tougher penalties, on these players who decide to deliver these unneccessary blows, toward their fellow league members.

Falcons Duanta Robinson Ambushes Eagles Receiver DeSean Jackson

Is this hit legal or illegal?

Under the new NFL rules, this hit would have landed Robinson for the Atlanta Falcons a 2 game suspension, a hefty fine in the range of $50,000 to $250,000, would be ejected for the remainder of this game, and would cost his team 15 yards on the field. Once Duanta Robinson returns from his 2 game suspension, he would also be on probation for pretty much the rest of his NFL career. Any 2nd hit on the field with this magnitude, would pretty much be an automatic doubling of the suspension in games and his fine would double too; which could be in the neighborhood of $200,000 to half a million bucks. Not sure about the 3 strike policy in the NFL, but it would be possible for a player to be banned for a 3rd vicious hit, if they were suspended and fined for the previous 2.

Players probably won’t make any big adjustments to their tackling and hits they deliver on Sunday afternoons in the NFL. The changes will come, once these players get in trouble for the first offense. After we get a couple of dozen players suspended and fined with these new rules in place; then we will start to see some mistackles and safer hit attempts and the offensive players will ultimately be the winners in these new NFL rules.

The game of football is tough. There are a number of things that can happen on any given Sunday, where a player can play his last play of the seaon, or get injured in a way they never play football again. It is a risk they are all accepting; when they walk on that football field. It may not be common, but we do expect a handful of players every year to walk into a stadium and leave that stadium on a stretcher, where they never get the opportunity to walk back in a team huddle, due to a career-ending injury.

I was able to use my media pass and get my hands on the 3 films (1 was made public with Ray Anderson speaking), copies of the 12 page document, and the asterisk rules page; which got sent to every NFL Team. If you had the chance to see the public video that got made and was later featured on the NFL Network; where Rich Eisen and Atlanta Falcons management Rich McKay spoke publicly about it; then you got the gest of what’s being sent around. I will point out the NBA’s role involving the new rules for the NFL. The National Basketball Association has flexible rules and punishments; which get enforced during a game and when a player gets injured. It’s really not about the intent or how vicious a certain act might be, but it really depends on the recipient of the malicious act and how well he is able to cope and recover from an illegal tactic.

NFL: No Harm No Foul Perspective

Let’s go back to the video; which showed Ray Lewis of the Ravens delivering a blow to the upper body; which was every bit as bad as the ones Duanta Robinson and James Harrison delivered in Week 6. Not only did Ray Anderson say this was a clean and legal hit, but amazingly Rich McKay echoed the same sentiments too. So what we have is the NBA rule; where if a player gets injured as a result of a high-speed contact play; then you’re in trouble. A coach like Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots, who uses every rule and modern tech gadget to his advantage, will be asking his players to lay down after a collision with the other team’s star defensive players. This rule will help to remove key players off the defensive side of the ball; while the offensive players carry out their best acting skills, as an injured football player starring in a Hollywood movie. Is it possible, these new rules meant to help the offensive players, will be helping them in more ways than one? Absolutely! Only reason the Ray Lewis hit was viewed as a clean hit, was due to the fact of the player raising up and clapping his hands together, like he should have made the catch. Now that player will be able to roll around on the field, like they’re in pain and good-bye to Ray Lewis for the remainder of that game and probably 2 additional games.

Just imagine these divisional games, where you have a tight race and two divisional teams play each other in a 3 week span. These teams can create huge advantages, by getting a defensive player suspended for 2 games. The NFL choosing to adopt the NBA rule, may be followed up by the NFL adopting the NHL rule for flopping; where skaters on the ice get penalized for trying to copy a Hollywood actor.

What should the NFL have done? Nothing this dramatic, that’s for sure. They have the power to hand-down fines and suspensions, without having a rule in place to do it. For years and years now, they have created punishments on the fly for different players and teams, where action becomes warranted. By stepping up and agreeing with the media attention, for these latest big hits around the country in professional football and the horrible incident that occurred to a 6 foot 2 inch, 275 pound, college football player from Rutgers; who is currently paralyzied from a special teams collision, the scrutiny will be present on every wide receiver that gets knocked down.  

As for the hit in Philadelphia, where Daunta Robinson knocked wide receiver DeSean Jackson out of the game. This was the first time ever, where I heard the term “defenseless receiver” where the receiver had caught the ball. Normally the guys in the booth who call pro and college football games, they refer to “defenseless players” and a guy who doesn’t make a catch, as the same thing and this just isn’t true. For some reason, when a receiver catches a ball, they are no longer defensless, like the football has some magical powers and can protect the player from the defender.

The biggest problem with these new rules, is the fact they’re not rules at all. They are just a few words on paper and football films, for telling NFL players if you hurt another football player and do it in a surprising fashion, then you’re going to get suspended and fined. The Chicago Bears player who turned his back into the punter and knocked him out, was not a clean play; nor was it a sportsman-like block on another player. The fact the punter was not injured was the key part, but for some reason they will not say this. Let’s face it, the Bears special teams player, could have did a simple two-handed push and would have drove the punter out of the play, as the Bears return man Devin Hester ran the ball for a big play. Instead of providing a simple block, the Bears player turned his back and moved way to forceful into the defenseless punter and that amount of force and action, toward a defenseless punter was way over board. I’m really shocked the NFL showed that play and said the guy was fine, due to the fact he was turning his back to provide the block. The NFL is going to be in a world of debate, if they’re are going to draw lines in the sand for that block, which was clearly a very unsportsman-like play on the field.

I can’t wait for the NFL to address the sideline plays, where a player gets hit out-of-bounds. I have a simple solution for this problem, but the NFL isn’t about nipping problems in the bud. They don’t mind throwing the yellow flag and penalizing a defensive player, who is running full speed to stop a play near the sidelines, where the offensive player is clearly running in a north and south pattern. Any offensive player who tries to skirt the sidelines for extra yards, should be allowed to be hit out of bounds. I’m not saying a hit that comes well after the play is over, but the hits that take place, where the offensive player steps one foot out of bounds, then gets tackled. If an offensive player wants to be protected by the sidelines, they must run in a east and west route, so the defensive player has enough time to see and react. For any ball carrier who chooses to run in the north and south routes, along the sidelines, then a defensive player should be given some lead way, where they might actually make contact, after the player has stepped out of bounds. In order to prevent  any extra yardage gained on the play. With the current rules that are in place now, I am surprised more teams don’t run their guys up and down these sidelines, where they try to step out, right before the contact is made, by a defensive player. It would be a simple way to get 15 yards! 

Example Video of the Sideline Play I Am Referring To

This play resulted in a personal foul on Antonio Pierce for a late hit.

This is a perfect example of what I am talking about. We can all see very clearly that Antonio Pierce hit Michael Vick out-of-bounds on the play. However, under my new NFL rule, this play would have resulted in no penalty flags. We have one of the fastest players in football, who is NOT running in a east and west pattern to get out of bounds. Instead, the very fast Mike Vick is trying to run along the sideline for extra yards and we expect Pierce to run up to him and force him out of bounds, without making contact. This is absurd and needs to be corrected. Due to the fact, the ball carrier is trying to get extra yards, the defensive player should be allowed a wider space for contact, even if it means the ball carrier is out ot bounds and then contact is made. This isn’t a vicious or a unsportsman-like hit. Antonio Pierce is leaving his feet and is launching his self into Vick, but not in a way that would be a surprise to Vick and by no means is he a defensless player. Allowing this type of contact can cause injury, due to the extra players and equipment that is so close to the sidelines. The solution is to allow these type of hits on north and south runners on the sideline and move these players, coaches, and equipment to a safer distance from the sideline. How the NFL expects Antonio Pierce to stop in mid-flight and avoid contact is beyond me. Yes, Vick was clearly going out of bounds, but he was clearly doing it, while gaining extra yards.

The NFL referees who threw the flags on this particular play, did not make a mistake and this is still a 15 yard penalty today. This is not their fault, this blame goes to the NFL Rules Committee, who are more focused on their image in the eyes of the public and the media. No matter how well the rules and referees work out on the field each Sunday afternoon; I can’t see the game as almost-perfect, until the Antonio Pierce/Michael Vick incident gets taken care of properly.

Would you like to lose a few pounds or a lot of pounds? Either way, there is a variety of diet products on the marketplace today that can help. A diet supplement is most effective; when its combined with a smart diet plan and exercise programs. If you exercise daily or every other day and begin eating low-calorie meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, you will lose weight. A fat burner can increase your weight loss goals even faster, if you continue to eat right and exercise properly. If you need to take off a very large amount of weight, be sure to check with your doctor first, before you begin any new diet programs. If you only need to lose 10 to 20 extra pounds, you can avoid a trip to the doctor’s office, if you proceed slowly with your diets. The fat burners can play a big role in your diets, if you use them with the right intent. Keep an eye out for any unusual pains and be sure to monitor your pulse rate, heart rate, and blood pressure for any new diet plans you begin. Be smart about it and you can lose weight, before the holidays get here in 2010!

Taking any case to a court room trial can be a lot of stress and pressure. It seems to be a little more difficult, when these legal cases involves a person’s health. Mesothelioma lawsuits is nothing new and has been something judges and juries have had to listen to a lot, over the last couple of years. There are still people with meso who need a good lawyer in the court room. A mesothelioma attorney knows first hand, how these things normally come out. It would be wise for anyone with mesothelioma legal questions, to contact a lawyer who specializes in this specific health issue. They can help you and your family get the most compensation that is due for your time, pain, and suffering; which comes from battling this awful form of cancer. As of right now, there is no cures and this is a terminal illness. In most cases, meso patients only hope is for a legal settlement in court, which goes in their favor. So they can live out the rest of their lives, being financially comfortable as possible.

From what I have been hearing lately, the Atlanta metropolitan area of my home state of Georgia, has a lot of drug problems. The need for an Atlanta Drug Rehab facility is very much needed and there are a few scattered out around the Atlanta, Georgia area. 

There is a long list of different drugs, the folks in Atlanta are addicted to. One of the most common drugs for addiction in Atlanta is Vicodin. This is a very strong pain pill; which can only be prescribed by a doctor. Most commonly you will see Vicdoin being prescribed for severe headaches, common back pain issues, after surgeries, sprained ankles, kidney stones, and other conditions or accidents that leave us in moderate to severe pain. The patient only needs to take this medicine as needed and it is not necessary to finish off the entire bottle. Some patients get antibiotics confused with other medicines and you do need to finish the entire bottle of antibiotics. Even if you get to feeling better; while on antibiotics, everyone needs to complete the full prescription, to make sure there is no chance for a sickness to flare back up again. A pain prescription for a drug like Vicodin should only be taken every 4 to 6 hours as needed for pain. Your doctor in most cases will only allow you to take 1 pill every 4 to 6 hours, but in rare cases and if the pain is too bad, a 2nd pill is sometimes allowed. After 6 hours have passed and you don’t feel any more pains, there is no need to take a 2nd Vicodin pill. Only take Vicodin pain pills as needed for pain and don’t finish off the whole bottle, if you don’t need it. Taking those extra Vicodin pills, when it is not necessary, is what gets people in trouble and before they or the doctor know it, the patient has become addicted to these strong pain pills. If this happens, the patient will need to seek professional drug help, at a Atlanta Addiction Treatment center.

I was curious to know what type of label warnings was on a bottle of Vicodin. I know drug stores will put several little stickers on a bottle of prescription pills for various warnings. Like for instance, don’t mix this with alcohol, that is a common warning for a lot of medicines from the drug store. I went to our medicine cabinet at home, to see if I could find any Vicodin and to see what the drug store pharmacist had attached to the bottle. We have a few dozen bottles of prescription pills at my house, so I felt pretty confident we would have a bottle of Vicodin. Well to my surprise we didn’t have any name brand Vicodin, but there was 2 bottles for hydrocodone. This is a generic pain pill for Vicodin and works the same way, just for a cheaper price. I’m not really sure the dose ranges for Vicodin, but the two bottles of hydrocodone we have, are listed in two different strengths. Both are a combination pain pill. Acetaminophen (generic Tylenol) is one ingredient; which is a mild pain reliever. While also containing a certain milligram (MG) of the strong pain reliever hydrocodone. We have one that appears to be 5 MG of hydrocone and the other is 10 MG of hydrocodone. No chance in confusing the two, the 5 MG is a white pill and looks like most aspirin; while the 10 MG strength of generic Vicdoin is a pretty shade of blue.

5 MG Hydrocodone – Generic for Vicodin

10 MG Hydrocodone – Generic for Vicodin

These generic versions that go by the name hydrocodone is addictive too; just like the name brand drug that goes by the popular name of Vicodin. I was unable to see any warning stickers on either bottle for addiction problems. This doesn’t mean the drug stores don’t put them on the bottles. Since Vicodin and other pain pills are addictive to take, I’m sure the pharmacies put something on each bottle to show this. If they don’t provide a sticker for addictive abuse problems, then this is one area we could start with; when it comes to combating the problems of prescription pill abuse.

Atlanta, GA is not the only area in America we have drug problems. Most major cities, if not all U.S. major cities have some form of drug problems and drug abuse. You don’t have to study the Drug Addiction Statistics long to see that. I wish our only drug problem was with Vicodin pain pills. We could then focus our efforts on just one area to provide help to those who are drug addicts. Instead we have lots of prescription drug problems, along with alcohol and illegal drugs too.

If you or someone you know has a drug addiction problem in Atlanta, then there are places you can reach out to for help. You can check around online or grab a phone book to find a local drug addiction facility in your area of Georgia. People living outside of Atlanta and the state of Georgia, can also find local drug centers for help too. Don’t risk your health any longer or spend your hard-earned money on something you don’t need, like drugs and alcohol. Come join the rest of the drug-free world and learn how you can be an active part in this great society we have in Atlanta and America too!
