Since the very ancient days people used to consume alcoholic drinks and alcohol has played a major role in society and religion. History tells us alcoholic beverages have been widely used as medicines, antiseptics and analgesics as well as relaxing stuff.

According to the free Internet encyclopedia:

“An alcoholic beverage is a drink containing ethanol. Ethanol is a drug, and depressant, and even though alcohol is a legal drug in most parts of the world, many societies regulate or restrict the sale and use of it.”

Consumption of alcoholic drinks may be a necessity for cold region countries, but for hot region countries it is not at all a must. So, why do people consume alcoholic drinks?

Cheap, fake drugs sold on the Internet could kill you!

ABU DHABI — Health authorities have warned the public against illusive and vague electronic messages about drugs at rock-bottom prices that they believe are usually counterfeit and could cause fatality.

The authorities’ warning came following surge of web sites tempting people to purchase drugs, specially impotence medicines at lower costs than the original prices accompanied with other alluring services like a free, fast and discreet delivery.

A case in point is that of some generic medicines published on a web site at lower prices, namely Viagra and Cialis (impotency drugs), Xanax and Valium (anti-depression), Ambien (pain killer) and Meridia for weight loss.

A Billion-dollar Boondoggle

About a billion dollars a year is now spent on "magnet therapy," which is claimed to eliminate many symptoms and diseases. Basic scientific principles indicate that all of this money is wasted.

About a year ago Leonard Finegold at Drexel University and I decided to look into the controversial field (no pun intended) of "magnet therapy." As a physics professor, Finegold knows a bit about magnets and magnetic fields. As a physician and former research chairman, I know a bit about therapy and medical research. Perhaps a physicist and a physician could shed some light on this interesting topic. We knew that magnets were touted as a treatment for many medical conditions and we knew that they were popular. But we were both quite surprised to learn just how popular they are. In the U.S.A., their annual sales are estimated at $300 million (Brody 2000), and globally more than a billion dollars (Weintraub 1999). You can get a rough idea of the magnitude of the magnet healing industry by doing a Google search for magnet healing. A search in January 2006 yielded 459,000 Web pages, many of them claiming that magnets have almost miraculous healing power. Do they? Professor Finegold and I reviewed the literature on magnet therapy and found very little supporting evidence. An abbreviated version of our review was recently published in the British Medical Journal (Finegold and Flamm 2006). What follows are a few comments on the magnet healing industry, a brief synopsis of our BMJ paper, and a look at magnet therapy from a theoretical point of view.
