"The severity of a hangover is determined by the amount and type of alcohol that was consumed.

"Alcohol Hangover A systematic review of randomized, controlled trials on interventions for preventing or treating alcohol hangover identified a trial involving treatment with GLA from Borago officinalis. Forty healthy subjects ingested 140 to 160 ml alcohol as part of the parallel, double-blind trial. As compared to placebo, the subjects assigned to take the 1000 mg GLA directly before the alcohol challenge reported a significant reduction in the overall severity of hangover and symptoms of headache, lethargy, and fatigue." - Thomson Healthcare, Inc., PDR for Herbal Medicines, Fourth Edition (Get the book.)

"Acupressure Assistance ^Vn acupressure solution to hangover headaches may rest in your two hands. According to Chinese medicine practitioners, massaging each thumb, firmly and steadily, just below the knuckle toward the base of the thumb, should bring welcome relief. If it doesn't work at first, try again in a few minutes. • A Homeopathic hangover Remedy If you can think straight the night that you drink one too many, take a 30C dose of a homeopathic remedy known as nux vomica before going to sleep." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.) "Pepper Preventive It may be because of its sinus-clearing effects, or it may be because of its painkilling properties, or it may be for some yet-unknown reasons, but cayenne pepper can help minimize or prevent a hangover. In order to have a better morning after a tough night, take one-eighth teaspoonful of cayenne pepper in a cup of water just before bedtime. (Be careful with the measurement if you've had more than a few.) • Acupressure Assistance ^Vn acupressure solution to hangover headaches may rest in your two hands." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"You don't have to get sloppy drunk to have a hangover the morning after. For people of average weight, the hangover-risk threshold is consumption of more than one drink per hour. If you drink at all, nurse your drinks. Alternate them with water or fruit juice to prevent alcohol-related dehydration. And if you do imbibe to excess, drink lots of water before you go to bed. The water won't prevent a hangover entirely, but it can help minimize the misery of alcohol-induced dehydration. If you do develop a full-blown hangover, keep drinking water until you feel human again." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures (Get the book.)

"Think what people who drink and then take Tylenol for a hangover are doing to their poor liver. Though many establishment medical types will tell you acetaminophen is "safe" in reasonable doses, I'm a hardliner on acetaminophen: If you have—or suspect you have—liver problems, the only safe dose of acetaminophen is zero. I rank it right up there with trans fats. 2. Do a periodic detoxification. There are dozens of ways to do this, using just raw foods, lightly steamed vegetables, broths, fresh vegetable juice, medical foods like Metagenics Ultra-Clear, or any O combination thereof." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"As compared to placebo, the subjects assigned to take the 1000 mg GLA directly before the alcohol challenge reported a significant reduction in the overall severity of hangover and symptoms of headache, lethargy, and fatigue. However, the review overall found no compelling evidence to indicate that any complementary or conventional intervention effectively treats or prevents alcohol hangover (Pittler, 2005)." - Thomson Healthcare, Inc., PDR for Herbal Medicines, Fourth Edition (Get the book.)

"The age-old remedy of mixing one egg, a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, a dash of vinegar, a dash of Tabasco sauce, and a little salt and pepper reportedly has helped many in getting over a hangover. Be aware that from a food-safety standpoint, eating raw eggs is not a good idea! Throw Me a Lifesaver!

"It is curious that this peak of the Dow (as well as other indexes) occurred in close proximity to the end of the celebration of the new millennium: it was as if the celebration itself was part of what had propelled the market, and the hangover afterward had brought it back down. The stock market increase from 1994 to 2000 could not obviously be justified in any reasonable terms. Basic economic indicators did not come close to tripling. Over this same interval, U.S." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"EYE SIGNS OTHERS CAN SEE CIRCLES UNDER THE EYES When we see people who have circles under their eyes, we're likely to assume the circles are due to lack of sleep—or possibly a hangover. But that's not always the case. Many r mately blame on our parents. We're all thin-skinned underneath our eyes, but some of us inherit thinner, paler, and more transparent skin than others. The thinner, lighter, and more transparent the skin, the greater the likelihood of our having bluish-tinged blood vessels around our eyes. Other factors may also come into play." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"Have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning (an eye-opener) to steady your nerves or to get rid of a hangover? Give yourself one point for every yes answer you gave. If you have answered yes to any of these questions, you may have a problem with alcohol. Read the appendix on alcohol detox (page 209) before you eliminate alcohol from your diet. Going Off Sugars If you do not have a problem with alcohol, or if you have had a problem in the past and are now in recovery, and are ready to go off other sugars, go back to your food journal." - Kathleen DesMaisons, Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity (Get the book.)

"If the oversensitivity to light and noise reminds you of someone suffering from a hangover, they are one and the same problem, as alcohol is known for decreasing magnesium levels, and magnesium supplementation has been found to relieve hangover symptoms. Magnesium is thus involved in many functions in the body, and so it's no wonder that the chemical brain imbalances in fibromyalgia somehow seem connected to processes involving magnesium. It's because magnesium is involved in so many processes in the body, that a deficiency has a spiralling effect." - Mark Sircus, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy (Get the book.)

"This short duration of action was touted as a positive attribute for a sleeping medication on the grounds that the individual would awaken in the morning without a "hangover" of persistent sedative effects. Instead, so much of the drug is gone by morning that people can wake up in a state of withdrawal. HIGH UP AND ON HALCION ABOUT AN HOUR or two after the maid noticed the ashen stranger wandering around the hotel corridor, one of the hotel staff saw the reflection of a man through a window in the main hotel building.

"If a person drinks a martini, then a Bloody Mary, then a mint julep, he or she might not consume very much of any one liquor, but the net effect might be a hangover. Therefore, if your child has been toxified by mercury in vaccinations, or from environmental sources, or from food, he or she may not be able to tolerate any additional mercury from dental amalgams. Unfortunately, it's not easy to replace dental fillings, but it can be well worth the effort." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"Nonorganic wine is full of toxic sulfites, which may disturb your sleep and give you a hangover. Be aware that you will not be able to handle as much alcohol as you used to. It will go through you faster since your body is more efficient at detoxifying. It also may interfere with your sleep, especially if you eat food along with it. Guy-Claude Burger says, "There are better things than that [wine]. Fermented coconut milk, for instance ?it's light, sweet, pungent and pleasantly alcoholic. It tastes better than champagne when instincts like it." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning (an Eye-opener) to steady your nerves or to get rid of a hangover? A score of even one is a warning sign about a problem. Remember the meaning of CAGE. Let yourself think about this for a while. One of two things will happen. You might begin working very hard to say, "Naw, I don't really feel guilty about my drinking." This is an example of denial creeping in and wrapping its deadly little body around your neck. Just pay attention. Consider whether you are getting further away from your relationship to your body and your own inner wisdom." - Kathleen DesMaisons, Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity (Get the book.)

"When symptoms of hangover persist in adults, this is said to represent the onset of the illness. However, my experience is that levels two and three will cause parents to take their child to a doctor. Levels C and D are rarely recognized as allergic reactions. Patients can alternate between the pick up intensity or hangover, much as an alcoholic will swing from a state of intoxication to a hangover state. There are also vertical alternations, and starting anywhere in this table there are counter-clockwise changes. Thus a patient may start from A, move to i, then to 2, to B and back to A." - Dr. Abram Hoffer, M.D., FRCP(C), Healing Children's Attention & Behavior Disorders (Get the book.)

"The Celery hangover Cure Here's a little folk legend for you: In ancient Rome, they used to wear celery around the neck to ward off a hangover after a particularly demanding night of Roman-style partying.

"But even after just one glass, she woke up with puffy skin and a slight hangover. "Why am I doing this?" she thought. She quickly stopped. Dana, like many others, found coffee harder to give up than cooked food, so she decided to at least use agave nectar (a sweetener from cactus) instead of sugar and nut milk instead of cream in her coffee. But after six months of eating raw, even this desire stopped, and she is no longer tempted by coffee. She also experienced no withdrawal symptoms! In addition to the ease of keeping trim, Dana found a multitude of other health benefits to live food. " - Susan E.

"You may also experience a big sugar hangover. You may feel as if you had been drinking all night even though you didn't drink anything. Your cells will be telling you that relief is only a bite away. The leftovers will call to you big time. A turkey sandwich on white bread, stuffing, a piece of apple pie. Your brain will try to convince you that "just one more" won't hurt anything. After all, yesterday made you feel good and nothing awful happened. Remember there are no negative consequences right away. They come later after you have lost the month and feel terrible." - Kathleen DesMaisons, Potatoes Not Prozac: Solutions for Sugar Sensitivity (Get the book.)

Between 1958 and 1960 thalidomide was launched in 46 countries under 51 different trade names, first hitting the UK in April 1958 as Distaval. Curiously, the dtug was not sold in France. Why French families were protected from the thalidomide tragedy is a mystery.

"This is the Far Eastern equivalent to both aspirin and apple; not only is it a potent hangover remedy for mornings after, (but) an umeboshi a day is regarded as the best preventive medicine available."
