Food chemicals application: Relations between humans and plants

It may surprise you to note that food chemicals applications have some similarities on how plants and humans use food chemicals in their daily functions! Professionally, doctor Dalal Akoury MD, President, and founder of AWAREmed health and wellness resource center says that plants produce chemicals capable of affecting our brains because they share an evolutionary history with us and primitive one-celled organisms produce many of the same chemicals present in our brains. Meaning that, irrespective of what you choose to eat the chemicals each meal contains may alter how your neurons function and by extension how you feel or think. We have all experienced the consequences of our shared evolutionary history with the plants we eat. For example, unripe bananas contain the neurotransmitter serotonin. When you eat an unripe banana, its serotonin is free to act upon the serotonin neurons within your digestive tract. The result is likely to increase activation of the muscles in the wall of your intestines.

Many plants contain compounds that should be able to enhance the brain’s performance. For example, potatoes, tomatoes, and eggplants contain solanine and α-chaconine substances that can enhance the action of acetylcholine, a chemical in the brain vital to memory formation.

Food chemicals application: Morphine chemicals

Morphine-like chemicals are capable of acting upon the brain are produced in your intestines when you consume milk, eggs, cheese, spinach, mushrooms, pumpkin, and various fish and grains. Dairy products, in particular, contain a protein known as casein, which enzymes in your intestines can convert into beta-casomorphin. In newborns, that beta-casomorphin can easily pass out of the immature gut and into the developing brain to produce euphoria. The pleasurable feeling produced by this opiate-like compound in newborn mammals after their first taste of their mother’s milk is believed to encourage the infant to return again and again for nourishment. Thus, being able to experience the euphoria induced by this opiate-like chemical has life and death consequences for the newborn child.

Food chemicals application: Caffeine and Nicotine

These are definitely plants derived from drugs. Chocolate contains a bit of caffeine, but also an array of other psychoactive compounds that may contribute to the pleasurable sensation of eating it. Chocolate contains phenethylamine a molecule that resembles amphetamine, and a small amount of chemical called Anandamide resembling the active ingredient in marijuana. Ironically, Anandamide happens to be used by our brain as a regular neurotransmitter and appears to be critical for us to experience pleasure.

Finally, having seen the effect of food on human life, as a society we must pool together to ensure that we live a happy life, therefore, the services of professionals will be necessary to give guidance. And with the help of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center, all your concerns will be well taken care of. Remember that doctor Akoury practice focuses on personalized medicine through healthy lifestyle choices that deal with primary prevention and underlying causes instead of patching up symptoms. You can call her on telephone number 843 213 1480 for further deliberations.

Withdrawal fears and drug addiction

July 4, 2017

Withdrawal fears and drug addiction may derail your goals but the best you can do is to start a fresh and never give up

Withdrawal fears and drug addiction: Good health for wealth

The withdrawal fears are one of the fundamental forces at play in the power of addiction. After long use of a choice drug, a lot of things happen not just to the brain but body tissues also develop dependence. From the decades of experience in dealing with addiction matters, doctor Dalal Akoury who is also the MD, President and founder of AWAREmed health and wellness resource center reiterates that, the physical signs and symptoms of withdrawal are usually associated with abrupt stop of usage including tremors, sleeplessness, diarrhea, anxiety, sweating, loss of appetite, up to hallucinations and seizures in severe cases.

Substance Dependency and Relapse

Trigger-induced craving is one of the most frequent causes of drug use relapses, even after long periods of abstinence. Environmental triggers help explain why re-entry to one’s community can be so difficult for addict leaving the controlled environments of an addiction treatment Centre.

Withdrawal fears and drug addiction: How energy healing is beneficial in addiction?

Energy healing helps to increase the level of energy in the body and leaves you feeling relaxed, energized and in a positive state of mind. It unblocks energy and re-establishes energy flow in internal organs which stimulate, nourish and replenish them. In doing so it improves the state of internal organs, assisting everything from digestion, absorption, blood circulation and energy production activities.

In order to truly help someone who is suffering from addiction, energy healing involves seeking the tools that will help you attract your desires and find your personal power to manifest wellbeing on all levels and help you overcome the underlying problem that is causing addiction. Energy healing is therefore beneficial in addiction control and elimination by executing the following:

Increasing feeling of relaxation
Reducing intensity of withdrawal symptoms
Improving sleep patterns
Freeing blocked energy in the body

How many treatments will one need?

The number of energy healing treatments required to treat addiction will differ between individuals patient. Research has indicated that meditation can help decrease substance use and relapse. Meditation will allow for a reflection on all repressed feelings and events, providing the space for them to come to the surface, enabling healing process to take place by shifting brain activities from the stress-prone brain to more calming. Meditation will be effective when learned from the instructor than from the book, tape or just sitting and focusing on your breath. By learning to meditate correctly, the increased awareness and mindfulness of meditation helps you avoid thoughts of substance usage, which can surface during recovery. Finally, even as you go that direction, it is equally important to seek professional help from the experts at AWAREmed health center from time to time and all your concerns will be addressed professionally.

Using acupuncture treatment

Using acupuncture treatment therapy for all kinds of substance abuse solutions

Using acupuncture treatment therapy: Leaving nothing to chance in addiction treatment

The issues relating to addiction are becoming complicated every day. Using acupuncture treatment therapy which is an ancient technique originally from Chinese Medicine is essential. And because of its effectiveness, we are using it in our (AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center) treatment programs to primarily help individuals function at their highest levels as possible. Several years ago in 1974, an extensive research was conducted in the United States about the use of acupuncture treatment therapy for substance abuse patients. And in each of the studies conducted, it was established are reaffirmed that acupuncture treatment therapy is very effective thereby establishing it as the treatment of choice for detoxification in many states.

Using acupuncture treatment therapy: Benefits of acupuncture

Because of its established effectiveness, its benefits are numerous but for the purpose of this article the following are some of the frequently noted ones:

Greater sense of confidence
Less hostility
Mental and physical stability
Reduced anxiety
Reduced cravings
Reduction or elimination of medication

Using acupuncture treatment therapy: Types of Acupuncture

The acupuncture program at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center uses two specific types of acupuncture—“Auricular” (also known as “Ear” or “Detox”) and “Full-Body” acupuncture. The medical provider orders either type of acupuncture when clinically appropriate.

The “Auricular” (“Ear” or “Detox”) – this acupuncture is a standardized treatment using five points in each ear. These points focus on relieving anxiety, cravings, insomnia, and headaches, and help the liver and kidneys to flush toxins from the body. “Auricular” acupuncture is administered by registered nurses trained in “Ear” or “Detox” acupuncture.

The “Full-Body” acupuncture – this actually involves a Chinese medical exam and diagnosis. In this exam, pulses are palpated at nine places on each wrist; the tongue is examined for color, size, coating, and shape; and the spirit and will are assessed for their strength. From this collection of data, Chinese Medicine can reflect the origin and the level at which imbalances have been created. Acupuncture is then used to correct these imbalances. For most people, who are used to getting laboratory tests and numeric results, this process is very educational. Many clients have never made the connection between lifestyle and health, between emotional cycles and seasons, or between the health of their spirit and their energy level. The “Full-Body” acupuncture most often consists of 10-15 needles, chosen from over 500 classic acupuncture points on the body. Each treatment is individualized, and no two treatments are the same. The “Full-Body” acupuncture is administered by a Doctor of Oriental Medicine.

In linking the remarkable, short-term effectiveness of acupuncture with counseling and other therapies, AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center has added an invaluable component to a program dedicated to long-term results. That means that we are doing all that is humanly possible to ensure that all patients are happy at the end of the therapy. We would, therefore, request you to schedule an appointment with doctor Dalal Akoury today if you are going through any form of difficulties in any kind of addictions.

Alcohol freewill consumption

July 3, 2017

Alcohol freewill consumption has to lead many into the path of destruction

Alcohol freewill consumption: Long term effects

There is no question about the alcohol-free will consumption globally. Each nation has rules guiding the consumption of this substance. But away from all those rules, it does not delete the dangers that come with alcohol use. What is worrying is that before the formulation of the rules, the dangers are known. And so it is quite unfortunate that alcohol is legal in as much as we are revealing its dangerous effects to human health. One of the control measures put by the authorities is the introduction of age limit. Currently, in many nations across the globe, the recommended age for drinking is 18 years though in some countries this limit can be up to 19 years or even more. According to the experts at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under the able leadership of doctor Dalal Akoury MD, this is one of the most ineffective control as many under age easily get access to this substance. Young people drink at home, in the streets and pubs despite this rule further complicating the dangers attached. Despite all these challenges, we can still do something to be safe from this scourge of alcoholism. If you are struggling with alcohol addiction, you can seek professional assistance from doctor Akoury by calling her today for the commencement of your recovery program.

Alcohol freewill consumption: The law about drinking and driving

Many lives are unnecessarily lost on the roads globally due to drink driving. Studies have also established that alcohol is the major cause of many of these deaths and because of these nearly all states across the globe are taking this seriously by enforcing stringent laws to protect and save lives. Drink driving has become a serious criminal offense and driving with blood alcohol content of 0.08 % and above will land you in the wrong books with the authorities. Other general illegalities and penalties include:

To drive while impaired even if your BAC is less than 0.08 percent.
Declining to provide a breath sample when asked by the police is also illegal.
Suspension of your driver’s license on the spot for 90 days
Separate criminal charges to face in court.
Also, if you are learning to drive and have a Graduated Driver’s License, you are not allowed to drive after drinking ANY alcohol.

These are just but a few rules and penalties applicable in most countries in an effort to bringing order on our roads. The same penalties and more are also applicable where one mixes alcohol with other drugs. To demonstrate the seriousness of this problem the authorities in Ontario have made even much harsher penalties for offenders. For instance, if you are convicted of impaired driving more than once the penalties are as follows:

First conviction – your driver’s license is suspended for one year and a further $600 fine.
Second conviction – your driver’s license is suspended for three years and 14 days in jail.
Third conviction – your license is suspended for 10 years or for life plus 90 days in jail
Fourth conviction: such offenders will never own a driver’s license in Ontario soil again and they will still be sentenced to jail for another 90 days.

It looks harsh but if this is what will bring serenity on our roads then it is worth it.
