HOW TO SURVIVE YOUR DOCTOR: EXPECTORANTS, EYESTRAIN
Expectorants
No product on the market today has the capacity to remove mucus from the airways any better than the means that nature intended. As a group of medications they don't work. They are a complete waste of time.
Home Remedies
If a moist cough is present why drown in mucopus? It is better to cough than use cough suppressants. If a dry cough is the problem use a codeine linctus as a cough suppressant and drink plenty of water. It is hard to have a dry cough if the body is over hydrated. Do not use cough suppressants in infants or children. They depress the brains respiratory centre and raise the specter of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
Eyestrain
The appearance of blurred vision and headaches whilst reading, driving or watching TV suggests the development of eyestrain. The condition arises because the eyes focal point moves forward a few millimeters every year. When the age of 40 arrives, people run out of enough arm to hold reading material further away. The eye's focal point is brought forward by a pair of appropriately prescribed corrective spectacles. Modern technology in the form of laser beams scars the cornea, changing the shape of the lens without the need for corrective lenses.
Home Remedies
The first port of call with a case of eyestrain is the optometrist. Not the general practitioner or the ophthalmologist. Accepting that optometrists have a vested interest in supplying clients with expensive spectacles, it is hoped that ophthalmologists have better things to do with their time than writing out formulae for prescription lenses.
