What is esophogeal spasm?
The esophagus, the tube that carries food from the throat down to the stomach, is composed of muscles. These muscle usually contract in a controlled sequence to propel the food down and keep it down much like the motion of milking a cow or squeezing a tube of tooth paste. Sometimes these muscle can contract in an uncontrolled manner much like a cramp in your leg ("Charlie Horse"). When this happens it can create difficulty swallowing and chest pain that feels very similar to a heart attack.
When somepeople swallow their food it stops there breath...is this normal?
Obviously this is not normal. If someone can't breath after they swallow their food, it is because the food is going down the wrong pipe, ie. the larynx (windpipe) instead of the esophogus (foodpipe) and thus obstructing breathing. However what is causing it depends on other symptoms as well as age. If it is a newborn, it might be a tracheoesophogeal fistula, where the esophogus connects to the trachea In someone older, it can be an esophogeal problems, such as a diverticulum or mass obstructting, or even an autoimmune condition such as Systemic Sclerosis or CREST syndrome. I suggest seeing your doctor.

Are food intolerences treatable?
Some are, mostly with adjustment of diet, some with medication most with a muliti-disciplinary approach. Actual allergies, as opposed to intolerances, may never be reversed, especially allergies which induce anaphylactic shock{severe respiratory or cardiac distress] For things that are "intolerances" watch diet, follow docs orders.If you are not sure if intolerance or allergy, get tested.Even chronic indigestion{ reflux esophogitis] MAY EVENTUALLY lead to esophogeal cancer.Don't get hypochondriacal over this. Just use common sense, moderation, and consult doc if any condition is chronic or interferes with your daily life.

How is chewing tobacco made?
Obviously, the curing process of most common chewing tobacco brands includes fermentation. Even if you only chew or dip occasionally, you probably know that there's a big difference between Copenhagen and Grizzly, Kodiak, etc., with Skoal in between somewhere. This is because Copenhagen ferments their tobacco more, which gives a stronger buzz and harsher taste. Usually, someone who's new to chewing tobacco will prefer a lighter brand. After you've flavored your tobacco, or simply added molasses, you'll need to seal it. Pressure may also help in the curing process. Some people do this by twisting the tobacco into ropes, some press it into plugs, or you could seal it in a hollowed out log, (see comments beneath linked article). The next step is to wait. During this time, the tobacco will ferment and the flavor will permeate the leaf entirely. It's up to you how long you wait. It could be anywhere from 1 to 6 months. If you're up to the task of making your own chewing tobacco, I suggest you try many different things, and decide which one gives you the best results.
What are the long term effects of acid reflux disease?
Have illusions and hallucinations The effects of LSD strongly depend on the mental state of the user and the circumstances in which the drug is used. Therefore, the same dose can produce good and bad 'trips' in the same person, depending on the circumstances in which the drug is used. The sought-after effects of LSD are - * changes in mood an sensory perception; * 'mind expansion' as a key to quasi-religious transcendental experiences; and * effects similar to those associated with Ecstasy-type substances: feelings of empathy and increased sociability. The possible short-term effects of LSD are - * a distorted perception of depth, time, and the size and shape of objects; * hallucinations (that is, stationary objects appear to be moving) (Generally the user knows that these effects are unreal; true hallucinations are relatively rare.); * heightened senses (sight, sound and touch); * psychological or emotional effects such as anxiety, depression, dizziness, disorientation and paranoia; * physical effects such as dilated pupils, lowered body temperature, nausea, vomiting, profuse sweating, rapid heart rate; and convulsions; LSD use increases a person's risk of injury, especially when the person drives a car, or performs other complex tasks such as operating machinery. The possible long-term effects of LSD are - * a growing tolerance to the drug, which disappears quickly after use of the drug is stopped; * flashbacks (that is, short-lived, intense re-experiences of part of a previous trip) which can occur days or even months after the last dose has been taken, leading to disorientation, anxiety and distress;and * prolonged anxiety and depression after use of the drug is stopped. The physical dangers of the long-term LSD use are unknown.

Like a couch or a backyard full of trees.

LSD can be very theraputic
