FK Action Project For Cure Unit#2 " Methods Of Treating Arthritis"

 Hello reader, this is my action project for Cure unit#2 at GCE lab school.  During this unit we learned a lot about pharmaceutical medication. We learned  About how to read and understand a FDA approved over the counter medication label.  Things like active and inactive ingredients, dosages, intended effects, side effects, and poison control numbers. We also learned how common over the counter medication works.. We particularly took a deep look at painkiller medication and how it functions in the body.  We also got to have an experience with a professor from UIC who came into our classroom and taught us the FDA  approval process for a drug. My classmates and I also got to do a fun experiment with miracle berry tablets which are made from a special west African berry that contains a lectin ( plant protein)  that reshapes your sour taste buds to sweet ones for 15 to 20 minutes. Overall I learned a lot this term. For this action project I created a slideshow about different methods of treating arthritis. One is a prescription medication, another is an over the counter medication, the final one is a natural remedy which in this case is a diet/lifestyle change. This is the final product. Enjoy!
