Its for sure true, just think about it

no

Then what's the harm of giving it to you? Just make you believe that to!

im just wondering why their mom even has medicine in the first place if she doesn't even believe in it...

Isn't everything in your head? haha

yea the acids dissolve it then it goes into ur bloodstream... ur moms legally insane

i think #1 was being sarcastic. anyway she has officially ruined the efforts thousands of pharmacologists and doctors and scientists have made for ages.

Well to an extent it's true. Something like 95% of drugs taken orally are metabolized before they reach the bloodstream. Only a minute portion actually travels to the brain. But that minute portion actually does work on most people :)

62. one woman believing medicine is pointless doesn't ruin all the effort. If everyone on earth believed this and we all refused medicine then yes... yes their time and effort would be ruined. by all the comments on here saying the mom is insane, I think doctors and pharmacists are using their time wisely.

For people with a healthy liver, 50% of drugs taken orally are broken down during the first pass through the liver.

its called a placeboa

yup 62, I'm a pre med student so I was definitely being sarcastic, apparently nobody caught that.

Actually medications which you swallow are designed to survive the acid and not release the active ingredient until it reaches your intestines where nutrient and water absorbtion occurs or to need to be changed by the chemical environment of the stomach to work properly.

shes a dumbass... the chemicals would get broken down and then absorbed by the lining in your stomach... going by her theory we wouldnt get nutrients from food, we'd have to inject fiber like it was steroids

lol i'm also a pre med. and i was being sarcastic too! (i wish there was a sarcastic font) i meant she was totally disrespectful to science... i dont know if u get what i say.

sorry... there really should be a sarcastic font.

Pills Here!

you are an idiot. that is all.

If she really had a migraine she'd be in her room crying, not on fml.

It's a good thing you were being sarcastic because if you weren't I wouldn't count on getting into med school.

your spelling is atrocious

I am def glad I'm not the only one to catch that.

I got a migraine reading this post. FML

Who gives a shit you unoriginal bastard. That's all you have to say is that they have poor spelling. Your just talking to talk aren't you?

#24 *You're

she is fucking retarded then

lol really? getting all bootyhurt because of a spelling error on a website. quit being so fuckin anal it's not like this fml is being sent to the white house... bitches

keyman- *you're... a faggot!

#47 FINALLY!! somebody who gets it!!

yay for stupidity! derp

Good god, another grammar junky.

#30 you're means you are your signafies possession wow.....

Yeah... "[you are] just talking to talk, aren't you?" Thank you.

lol 47 and you're "getting all bootyhurt" about a reply to a post on a website. I also notice that you're getting mad at people that just ask for decent grammar/spelling. My grammar and spelling aren't the greatest but the difference between "your" and "you're" is something you should have learned in elementary school. So if you want to get your opinion across, try to NOT come off as an obnoxious idiot.

actually, she was right. it is *your

47 finally!!! its a website people! 47 marry me, no homo lol.

For those who can't tell the difference between "your" and "you're", here's a little lesson for you.

"Your" shows that possession is taking place.

"Is that your money sitting on the table?"-Correct.

"Is that you're money sitting on the table?"-Incorrect.


"You're" is the contraction for "you are".

"You're going to keep that money?"-Correct.

"Your going to keep that money?"-Incorrect.


See, when people mistake "your" for "you're", they sound stupid because, for example, when #24 said "Your just talking to talk aren't you?", they were insinuating that who they were talking about, owns "just".

Now, I see a problem with this. The word "just", isn't a noun, so you can't own it. "Just" is an adjective, I do believe. Owning adjectives is an impossible feat that I'm sure no one has accomplished yet.

Sorry to sound like one of those grammar police people, I'm really not. I just felt the need to make sure that everyone here is aware what the difference between the two words is, and why they can not be used interchangeably.

97, on an iPhone, your comment is too large to be thumbed up. lol.

#2 she didn't spell anything wrong.

Actually, originally the FML was misspelled, but it was most likely moderated and corrected.

No . . . no, it's not.

97- Chuck Norris owns just.

how?

you're is you are. you are just on a roll of being stupid... Duh who doesnt know that? yes I saw your comment on the twins post.

You didn't have to put the "just" after "you are". Double antecedent. Has it not yet dawned on anyone that perhaps, as I am like to do, I am doing this to piss off everyone here? Hmmmm... Could it be?

Why?

102 if you slide across any part of the comment the thumb up/down panel will appear :)

I like how this post has became one big English lesson...

BURN. lol

you all have no lives..

Why complain about grammar/spelling this isn't school?

Your pic says otherwise.

Just the NSA headquarters

She's just thinking outside the box.

or ops mom is a homeopath.

or a psycho path!!

Or a dirt path

Get back under the rock.

Or OP's mom doesnt understand how the medicine works.

Or egon trail.

medicine* really?

maybe it's because his/her head hurts so bad. ever had a migraine before? they suck and it's not fun.

lawls

What happened to spell check these days?

whut our uz tawcing boot I can durn sqell jurst fin.

what a dumb ass.

If you hadn't watched Lost all day, your migraine wouldn't have happened.

It was worth it

err I don't know what to say..

then don't comment..?

win!

I would like to give your mum an award of excellence on behalf of all the staff of "Complete Idiot University" also known as CIU.

no it's the CIA, complete idiot academy.

10 damn it! I got a phone call telling me I wasn't going to get that award this year, now I know who it is.

Don't be sad MrSassyPants. You still made the honor roll.

I know I got that phone call too but still...

I had a teacher who claims CAFFEIN makes her SLEEP, that's why it can be found in drugs, and how it helps people stay awake was just in their heads. Fucking insane...

109 wait wait wait wait wait.... wait... wait... this not my batman glass.

I was going to say "... she's actually a teacher?" but then I remembered about Family Guy.

@109 coffee makes me sleepy too even the proper coffee shop kind, I wouldnt say the wake up effect is in peoples heads tho as it is a known stimulant, maybe it only works on some. Either that or I simply don't drink enough to affect me.

some people have chemical imbalances man, I have adhd, and caffiene does the opposite for me, well it doesn't put me to sleep, but it doesn't keep me awake either.

it's for some ppl with ADHD. (I'm not saying u have it). the caffeine just makes them more tired. or it could just be in their head. that's what my friend with it says.

It allows the cells (neurons for you "smart people") to have better connections in people with ADHD, similar to what happens with standard ADHD medication ("speed" for most non-ADHD/ADD people). It actually does not generally make us hyper, in fact it calms us down, allowing us to relax better and by extension it makes us able to go to sleep easier.
Short version: caffeine makes our head work good and we think it is sleepy time.
