Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Pour boiling water down the drain. Plunge the drain. Put baking soda in the drain. Add vinegar. Snake the drain.

Answer: To remove stubborn buildups, start by boiling about ½ gallon (roughly 2 liters) of water and carefully pouring it down the drain. High temperature water will begin to break apart and dislodge the blockage. Encourage the buildup to proceed down the drain by plunging the drain 5 or 6 times. While this may not fully remove the buildup, it will help loosen it further.  Use a plunger that can create an airtight seal over the opening of the drain. Slowly pour about 1 cup (220 grams) of baking soda into drain. Allow the baking soda to sit for a few minutes. Not only will the baking soda absorb unpleasant odors, it will help physically break apart the buildup. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of distilled white vinegar into the drain after waiting a few minutes. The baking soda and vinegar will react with one another and begin to foam. Cover the drain, as this will encourage the baking soda and vinegar mixture to work it’s way into the clogged portion of the drain and break down the remaining blockage. Allow the mixture to sit in the drain for an hour or so.  Vinegar is also a natural deodorizer. Together, this mixture will also help remove any odor the deposit caused. Cider vinegar or lemon juice will work in lieu of white vinegar. After allowing the mixture to sit, rinse again with hot water. Repeat the process to eliminate residual odors. Stubborn deposits may require more physical disruption.  Get a drain snake from your local hardware store. These are essentially long, thin strips of plastic with hooks on either side.  Use it to break up and push or pull away any deposits that have clogged your drain. Keep inserting and removing the snake until no hair or clumps are attached to it when you pull it out.  Alternatively, you can bend a metal coat hanger so it has a hook at 1 end and use that. If it gets stuck, pull it out with a pair of needle-nose pliers. Follow this with a baking soda and vinegar soak to remove unpleasant odors.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Look for itchy birds and ruffled feathers to detect lice or mites. Notice birds who are thin with bad feathers, which could indicate roundworms. Pay attention to a bird having trouble laying eggs. Watch for temporary paralysis for Marek's disease.

Answer: While not a disease per se, lice and mites can cause problems for your chickens, such as anemia. If you think your chickens might have lice or mites, inspect the base of the feathers near the back end of the bird to look for lice or mites.  You may notice clusters of tiny white eggs. Alternatively, you might see parasites moving around on the bird, either small black specks or white parasites the size of rice. Lice and mites can be treated by dusting the birds a parasite powder or spraying them with a parasite solution for chickens. This intestinal parasite can make your chickens lose weight, and they may not feel like taking care of their feathers. Also, the skin around their mouths may be paler than normal.  This parasite may cause diarrhea, and you may see matted feathers near their rear ends. If one bird gets this, you'll need to treat the whole flock. This condition is called being egg-bound. You may notice the bird hanging out in the coop more. Its behavior may be erratic. You may see her straining to lay the egg. Think of someone with constipation and how that would look in a chicken. It may make noises while trying to lay the egg. There's not a lot to be done for egg-bound chickens, though a warm water bath around her back end or applying lubricant may help. This disease is caused by a herpes virus, and it is fairly widespread. In some cases, it can cause lymphoid tumors that press on or enlarge nerves. In turn, that can cause paralysis, which may only be temporary or could be permanent. This condition can't be treated.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. Include fiber and healthy grains into your diet. Avoid drinking alcohol. Drink plenty of water. Lose weight.

Answer:
A healthy diet full of fruits and vegetables promotes a healthy liver and normal urobilinogen levels. Red veggies and fruits contain compounds that can help lower bilirubin levels, which will help lower your urobilinogen levels. Tomatoes is a great food to eat to help with this. Radishes are also a great vegetable to promote liver health. Fiber can help promote a healthy liver. In addition to fruits and vegetables, you can find fiber in healthy whole grains, rice, cereals, and nuts. Men should have around 25 grams of fiber each day, and women should have 35 grams. Barley helps remove toxins from the body and supports the liver. Alcohol negatively affects your liver. Liver damage can lead to the buildup of fat in your liver, inflammation, and scarring of your liver, like in cirrhosis.  Avoid drinking alcohol until you know the cause of your elevated urobilinogen level. One easy way to help keep your urobilinogen levels at a normal level is to stay hydrated. You should drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day. Hydration is important for kidney and liver function. Your doctor may suggest that you lose weight and increase your physical activity if your urobilinogen levels are high. Some liver problems can be treated with weight loss, healthier eating plans, and exercise. Talk to your doctor if you are interested in losing weight. They can suggest a diet and exercise plan that works for you.
