a summer by towards mountain castles and apple strudel checking in 60 minutes on d w. these places in europe are smashing all the records. step into a bold adventure. it's the treasure map for modern globetrotters. discover some of you will record breaking sites on your youtube and now also in book form. even apes know which plants relieve diarrhea pool, get rid of parasites. medicines have likely been around since the beginning of humanity. today, scientists can spend years researching modern treatment. we find out which medicines can help ease every day. cold symptoms,

why some drugs work better for women than men, and how some medications can cause damage. now, on in good shape with small distancing hygiene during the pandemic, these golden rules help to reduce not only the number of people getting kind of at 19, but also the number of cold and flu infection. but as may become more with the more likely it is that will catch up with what can help when you get a cold. many people use nasal spray containing say, line solution when they have a stuff he knows supposedly these sprays clean nasal passages and moisten the

mucous membranes. studies show this does not clear congestion which has other causes. congestion arises when blood vessels inside the nose dilate, swelling. the mucus membranes, salt water, has no effect on this. decongestant nasal craze, on the other hand, contain an ingredient that constricts the blood vessels. the swelling goes down, clearing the nasal passages for several hours. such sprays should not be used for more than a week, though, because they are addictive. experts estimate that hundreds of thousands of people are dependent on nasal sprays. this happens because receptors in the blood vessels where the active ingredients doc become less and less sensitive. the more the spray is used. a vicious cycle begins. the mucous membrane swell ever more quickly uses need more and more d congested, stray even longer. so they've recovered from that cold. there's an abundance of sore throat lozenges on the market. they contain an anesthetic that can number the

pain for a short period, which not everyone likes. and the drops often contain tiro thrice, and an antibiotic effective against bacteria, but useless against cold viruses. also, the viruses are often only in directly responsible for throat pain, which is triggered by inflammatory substances. the body produces to fight cold viruses and which send a signal to the nerve. painkillers like a spin, if you proven or paracetamol. luckily, inflammatory substances so they are often recommended for a sore throat. studies are not clearly proved their effectiveness though, and it is wise to take them with caution. aspirin or a settled cell, the civic acid, for example, must only be taken by adults, and an overdose of paracetamol can severely damage the liver. analgesics like paracetamol have been proven effective against headaches and other pain are

often found in combined preparations. pharmaceutical companies claim that these ease all symptoms at once, they not only reduce pain, but also act as a nasal decongestant. their active ingredients include a substance that causes bays of constriction and often an antihistamine, which is supposed to reduce the body's immune response. the combined preparations do indeed help, but uses risk side effects the ingredients to cause vase of constriction or less effective against congestion, the nasal sprays. and they can make blood vessels throughout the body constricts, leading to high blood pressure and heart palpitations. on top of this, it's not often helpful to treat all symptoms at once. they usually appear in succession 1st to sore throat than the headache than the stuff he knows.

so to sum up, the most helpful cold treatments on nasal spray and painkillers. in the packets inset that accompanies the medication, they are logically often separate recommendations for children and adult. however, there's rarely different information for men and women. yet that would often make sense. some medications affect the sexes differently and can cause varying side effects. ib prefect is now a staple in many household medicine cabinets, but when it comes to pain relief, it's less effective in women than men. it's impact on our mood also varies, making men more emotional,

but women less sensitive. why did science and the late to discover this disparity in both effectiveness and side effects? it turned out that the clinical studies ahead of official a evil did not include women as test subjects. in the 19 sixty's, thousands of children were born with missing or malformed limbs. after the widespread use of thalidomide, by pregnant women testing for the drug had been insufficient in the 1970s many countries recommended the exclusion of women from clinical trials for new medication due to potential risks facing those already old planning to be pregnant . a convenient development for big pharma, for them women main fluctuating hormones and potential variation in drug reactions . males are not subject to those changes. making studies more straightforward. a short sighted move as those same studies now lack to vital data for new drugs. that

in turn led to incorrect doses, and in some cases, severe side effects. in the early 2 thousands, the european medicines agency started calling for at least a new medication to involve sufficient testing among women as well. and those calls were heated between 10 and 80 percent of test subjects in europe, and now female with their proportion depending on the frequency of the relevant condition among men and women. drug trials and now far more stringent blue pop a pill to shed the pounds a dream for many overweight people. the world health organization estimates that 39 percent of all adults world wide, overweight, big research has have long been looking for an effective drug against obesity. ready now they may have found an injectable one

. oh, recently she's had a lot of inquiries about the new injection that is said to help you lose weight. it's active ingredient is semi glue tide, semi glue tide is in fact a diabetes drug intended to lower blood sugar levels. dr. yann's umbrella also prescribes it for diabetics like marco, who suffers from way problems to umbrella, thinks them a glue time has a promising future. give, did not most davis, and it is setting new standards in terms of reducing blood sugar levels. but in particular, in reducing body weight, no drug has been able to reach a 15 percent drop in body weight in obesity treatment up to. now marco weighed $160.00 kilos when he started on the injections. 6 months later, he's down to 130 by his blood sugar levels are also back to normal. he's really

impressed by the treatment. i don't get the love with own losey of him for what it's definitely changed is my appetite of i used to eat a lot in the evening. my main meal was in the evening. the worst possible time of all obs. oh, when lucy, since hope and i ate a lot of an awful lot. the other few. i couldn't shake the habit on you all the school does come with upstream. the medication simulates one of the bodies, metabolic messengers, the g l. a. p one hormone. it's produced in the got reduces blood sugar levels and creates the sensation of feeling full after a meal. this sparked the idea of giving the drunk to people who are obese as well as diabetics. and according to a recent study, it works. it's simone. glue tight enables people without diabetes to lose weight,

to on average, 15 percent and 68 weeks. but it's also frequently accompanied by side effects, nausea, diarrhea, and sometimes gall stones. nutritional specialist baggage shilling, mussman warns against expecting too much for tire ya. the advantage, and if you will reduce your weight to some extent of the disadvantages, one, it often comes at the price of nausea. why to this treatment like any other treatment for obesity, has to be maintained over a lifetime. that means or to continually self injecting and also having to pay for those injections yourself. vianza sharlena mc line has found an alternative. she now counts her calories with an ap with it she can make sure she's sticking to her daily calorie limit. she quickly sions the 1st kilos and has been walking a lot,

cough estimate suggests that up to 100000 people suffer from cystic fibrosis or c, f, a genetic metabolic disorder. for a long time, it was classified as a childhood disease because the mortality rate among affected infants was so high. but modern medications mean that is affected, can live an almost normal life. from the moment she was born, sandra had extreme breathing problems due to thick mucus. in her lungs, but her symptoms have improved significantly over the last 12 months. thanks to new medication. really got up to north. i can breathe more easily and do more physically. it can go for long walks without needing brakes, and best of all, the coughing has finally stopped. eyelashes offender, you know, i tell of he is a new therapy marks. a real breakthrough. patients can breathe deeply again,

and it's easy to expel secretion, should they sal get any lights. so of course, it's a game changer if a patient foody button. cystic fibrosis affects various glands in the body and is an inherited condition. normally, glands in the lungs form a watery mucus that keeps the airways moist. tiny hair like stretches known as cilia, use it to remove dust particles. unpack the gens inhaled with the air and to sweep the lungs clean. the mucus gets its thin consistency from water attracted to the gland sells by salt. cystic fibrosis renders vital protein channels dysfunctional making them impermeable to the salts and therefore also preventing water from flowing out of the cells. the resulting mucus is fast, thicker, too sick for the sillier to remove it properly. and the disease also affects glands

elsewhere in the body. the more of us, it was us and i can go on cystic fibrosis, is a disease where all of the bodies glands produce excessively thick secretions. and that causes a variety of problems for the organs, especially those in the intestines, for example, which means impaired digestion. another primary organ affected by the disease or the lungs. it offended as the law, which is why inhaling has been a constant burden for lily as well. and it's so annoying. but the 8 year old is also been doing better. she's one of many cystic fibrosis sufferers who've been able to benefit from medication for 2 years now. the 6 young as the lily started the treatment at the age of 6, and we've seen considerable improvement. she now puts on weight properly, and is in a far better state to do exercise and sport. and her general condition has really

improved. and so federalist the medication in question is assisted fibrosis trans membrane conductance regulator, c f, t, as directly modulate the defective gland channels. they then open improving the transportation of souls and as a result, water, as the mucus becomes more fluid, it can now be removed by the senior. unfortunately, the medication that lilly is receiving is not effective. in the case of all genetic defects that trigger the disease. this applies to between 60 and 70 percent of people with cystic fibrosis. a triple combination of c, f t r was approved for use in germany last fall. it helps in 90 percent of cases and boasts higher effectiveness. studies have shown an improvement in lung functionality. a 70 percent reduction in respiratory infections, as well as significant weight gain. did not say it was patients say it's only now that they notice how stressful their lives had beam was and especially the

breathing. yes. with their breathing now, almost back to normal, their lives to date seemed like one long marathon run. they wake up feeling for fresh air. and despite now doing twice the amount of work during the day, they don't feel worn out. like they used to go up that soon to be foil. when xander was born 28 years ago, there was no promise of any such development. when it unharmed had lately, my parents were actually told to have a 2nd child because they didn't expect their 1st to live that long. that you say ok, my life expectancy is maybe 30 or 40 years. so some people want to get a move on, while others become withdrawn on the end of amish. that's a look at all the thanks to the new therapy santa's life expectancy is probably close to normal. when the damage to her body from the cystic fibrosis has now decreased, so she still clearly remembers the day when she began the treatments. all the pairs of hands understood not that about 24 hours after ingestion, i noticed on mucous coming on. normally it would stick up there and it was really

hard to cough up and there'd always be some left out. but now it felt like i had water in my longsol every little calf got everything out just like that. i get as if i were cured for the house to todd alpha, lima v. as official guide been, the medication is well tolerated by sanker, but it can lead to side effects such as elevated liver enzymes, headaches and rushes deck up to match the headaches. and in some cases, tinnitus, are among the 1st symptoms recorded by patients at the start of therapy. and the overall, there are relatively few side effects. and they can normally be taken care of by a doctor all by the patient, and often a button. it's a huge advance in cystic fibrosis therapy and one that opens up a whole new life of people like soccer we have, i think i used to have to cough whenever i laugh in school and there been quite a few silly situations in my life. but now i can laugh again like any normal person without having to worry whether someone will look at me funny or then not being

able to breathe. so it's really fantastic. mm hm. nation the discovery of antibiotics in 1910 represented a giant leap and medical progress. for the 1st time, it was possible to treat serious bacterial infections like pneumonia. antibiotics can also protect a patient from developing dangerous infections during a big operation. but what happens when these one did drugs themselves make us sick? then forestman, an active and healthy man. until he took 3 antibiotic pills. the medicine caused severe side effects is gone. i can hardly get out of bed colds and

a black at holly brush. my teeth are dry, my hair, allison is meal. as not only that, my muscles weakened rickard, i could barely walk. although i had to go everywhere on crutches below and in great pain as all mid close this mountain. that was 5 years ago to day he lives with chronic fatigue syndrome and needs a wheelchair. his kidneys have been irreparably damaged. hey, this is because he took a group of antibiotics called floral quinn, a loans for a urinary tract infection, and 2016 health damage to elsa public. after i took the 1st tablet, i did some online research and discovered a strong warning about serious side effects. upon advised gov, that means it should not have been the very 1st thing i was prescribed. then i went to the hospital and asked for less harm for antibiotic. i was given super flaxen as an alternative for which there was no strong warning, but i didn't realize that super fluoxetine contains the same group of active ingredients with almost identical side effects. it fostered in addition to invoking

as well some floral quinn. a loans are still being sold, others have already been pulled from the market. the problem with the severe side effects has been known since the 19 ninety's. that's why flora quin loans are now advised to be used only as an antibiotic of last resort. only if other antibiotics fail, but this was not adhered to expend forestman and not just him. in the same year, 4200000 patients in germany were prescribed flora when a loans general practitioner, steph, on. people, is an expert on the severe damage. laura quint alone can cause he now sees patients likes, then fullest man every day. each individual case is complex, as there has been no research, and there are no recognized therapies are worth as had saw his doctor,

all the glitter such strong effects in the patient's rod, especially since these symptoms are long term long and in part irreversible named man. on the other of as it was then to size the company probably cannot be completely resolved at all. oh, it turns the life of a normal healthy person. i'm into the life of an invalid. i'm even honest. invalid . floral quin alones are very effective antibiotics drugs that kill disease causing bacteria, but at the same time they can also destroy healthy tissue. mostly they damage tissue by breaking down college in this, in flames tendons or causes them to terror, especially the achilles tendon, se, but other tendons, muscles, and joints can also become inflamed, often accompanied by severe pain. and if college and is broken down in the walls of blood vessels, its life threatening,

this can cause aneurism bulges in the walls of blood vessels, such as the aorta. this can cause the blood vessel to burst and result in heavy internal bleeding. right now, skipped to his are also psychological side effects. neurotransmitters that are effected. this leads to edge taishan nervousness, anxiety, panic, reactions. even suicides have been documented. that means that substance is extremely nerve damage and climb. ballinger fibers are affected, the cause burning pain. and what may be the worst is exhaustion. and then a side effect that impacts the mitochondria, the cell power stations of the emitter, shunt and other cough energy production inside the cells is not sufficient anymore . and the patients can become so exhausted that they have to spend most of the day in bed. se didn't wilson tied the sagas and battling in the us.

both doctors and patients have been warned of these risks for more than 10 years. the strong boxed warning is printed on the front of the package insert in a highly visible box outlined in black. this was accompanied by a major awareness raising campaign. is just 2 pills killed her husband van forestman wishes there would have been a similar strong morning in germany on tibet. we also hope for a diagnostic key that recognizes the side effects of flora quinn alons as an acknowledged disorder on our contra dance. because german health insurers will not cover many therapies that are not officially recognized. and that's even more traumatic as those affected often lose their jobs at least temporarily and fall into serious financial difficulties. but spend fost,

man vows to keep fighting for himself and others, as long as he has the strength. ah, and now you can do something for your health. stressed out personal trainer martin shows us how to relax. hello and welcome. to day, i'd like to show you a breathing exercise that combines breathing with movement. therefore, we use our hands to draw the natural flow of the breathing. to begin with, you might lift the hands while breathing in and then lowered her hands back again when you're breathing out. and as you do this, you might notice that from time to time, the movement changes, the breathing changes. maybe even the next breath can be

longer or shorter. this exercise might help you, especially in stressful times to reconnect with your breathing. and a good thing about this exercise is that you can do it literally anywhere at any time. you don't need a special surrounding like this. for example, in the office or wherever you are right now, i have been practicing and see you next time and in good shape. with
