How many 40mg of propranolol would kill you quickly?
Propranolol is a beta blocker, and while it is apparently somewhat more toxic than average[1] for that class of medications, it isn't really a good choice for a fast death. (Not many modern medications are, come to think of it.)The IPCS data for propranolol[2] says that the average toxic but not fatal dose is about 1.75 grams, which would be about 44 pills of 40mg each. But even doses of 5-8 grams (125-200 pills) aren't certain to kill a human. There is a notable variation in how propranolol affects individuals, so it's hard to predict the effects. Also note that according to the PubMed abstract in footnote 1, 2/3 of patients in that study who took more than 2 grams of propranolol experienced seizures. That doesn't sound like an easy way to go.If you just want to know this stuff because you're writing a book or some such, you can skip the rest. But if you're considering suicide, don't use propranolol. It's unlikely to work, and since its primary mode of effect is slowing your heart rate, you may end up killing brain cells through oxygen deprivation.I was suicidal some years ago, so I'm not going to just mindlessly insist that you not go through with it. People who haven't been there can't really understand. Yet still, choosing life is possible. It's not easy, but your life has probably already been “not easy” for some time now. If you can't talk with anyone in your life, you can still call a suicide hotline. If this question doesn't have a banner with hotline numbers, just Google “suicide hotline” and the name of your country, and maybe your state or province. Feel free to message me if you can't think of anything else. I'm not a trained counselor or anything, and I won't pretend to know exactly what you're feeling, but I have been in a similar place. I hope you hold on and get through this. It may take a while, but it's so worth it.Footnotes[1] Relative toxicity of beta blockers in overdose.[2] Propranolol (PIM 441)
How can curcumin be extracted from turmeric?
I'm going to assume you are not an organic chemist, and you do not have access to an organic chemistry lab. I'm also going to assume you want to end up with something that is food safe. If you want to extract curcumin from turmeric, you can soak ground turmeric in 99% ethanol for a day or two. Filter the solids away with a coffee filter. You should end up with a nice amber colored ethanol solution. This solution will contain curcumin. Unfortunately, it will also contain other molecules from turmeric that are soluble in ethanol. If you evaporate away all the ethanol (let it sit open in a pan until evaporates away and then bake it at 200F until it looks dry), you will probably get a gummy mess, but it will be a gummy mess that is more enriched in curcumin than the straight turmeric.To get pure curcumin you probably have to use chromatography (Chromatography), which is not something you can really do at home.How do you find the concentration of curcumin in a solution:To try and find how much curcumin is in a particular solution, the most straightforward method is to use HPLC. Again, this isn't something you would do at home. You would have to send it off to an analytical lab for analysis. =However, if you want to estimate how much curcumin is in solution, you could purchase pure curcumin from a health store and make several solutions of it at different concentrations. Then you could compare the color of your unknown to the color of the solutions at different concentrations. Of course, this is prone to interferences from other colored species so it can be very inaccurate. This is probably the most accessible home method.
How long does aspirin thin your blood?
Aspirin irreversibly inhibits platelet function, which means once aspirin acts on platelets, it prevents them from adhering to each other during their entire life span. The life span of platelets is 7 days, so a platelet on which aspirin acts remains inhibited for its entire life span.Now every day, about 10% new platelets are released in circulation from bone marrow. If you have 30% platelets which are functioning normally, that's sufficient to stop bleeding (haemostasis).So, if a person stops taking aspirin, then from the fourth day onwards he has enough normally functioning platelets to avoid any extra risk of bleeding should he undergo a surgical procedure. To answer your question precisely, aspirin inhibits platelets for 7 days .
