A drug, broadly speaking, is any chemical substance that, when absorbed into the body of a living organism, alters normal bodily function. [5] There is no single, precise definition, as there are different meanings in medicine, government regulations, and colloquial usage. [6]In pharmacology, Dictionary.com defines a drug as "a chemical substance used in the treatment, cure, prevention, or diagnosis of disease or used to otherwise enhance physical or mental well-being."[6] Drugs may be prescribed for a limited duration, or on a regular basis for chronic disorders.[7] Drugs are usually distinguished from endogenous biochemicals by being introduced from outside the organism.[citation needed] For example, insulin is a hormone that is synthesized in the body; it is called a hormone when it is synthesized by the pancreas inside the body, but if it is introduced into the body from outside, it is called a drug.[citation needed] Many natural substances such as beers, wines, and some mushrooms, blur the line between food and drugs, as when ingested they affect the functioning of both mind and body.

7. Tiviram Tales 3- Are you looking for an Asian princess?
November 18, 2008
A lucky treat
Being motherless from such a young age had its pitfalls for me and all my brothers and sisters. A child’s life no matter how innocent at the time can soon find themselves on the wrong tracks and heading in the direction of a life of crime, drugs or prostitution. I’m not saying that prostitution should be listed among the worst things that can happen. It is the oldest profession and so so accepted in Thai and Asian societies. Some of my best friends were bar girls, some of them did it for money, some of them for fun-you know they can choose who they end up with at the end of... (read more)

9. Surgery for Toenail Fungus
November 18, 2008

Many people opt for surgery only after trying a variety of home remedies, alternative medicine treatments, and even prescription drugs without success.
The option of a surgical cure for onychomycosis appeals to people who have been struggling with the infection over the long term. Though... (read more)

21. Is New Bodybuilding Drugs of Human Growth Hormone Safe for Bodybuilders?
November 14, 2008
Many bodybuilders are using a new drug called human growth hormone, or HGH, to improve their bodybuilding performance.
Human growth hormone is naturally produced by your body's pituitary gland. When that happens, your liver also releases IGF-1. After puberty, the levels lessen and you stop growing new muscle cells.
