Rediscovering medicine profession primarily to make it more profitable to the medical personnel

Rediscovering medicine profession: Do you know your physician well?

Until not long ago the medical profession was the love of every school going, child. You ask any young person what she or she would want to become in future and out of 10 students eight will tell you titles relating to medicine. I want to be a neurosurgeon, dentist, optician, dermatologist, gynecologist name it. That was then, today the number has gone down and I won’t be surprised if on two out of ten will still be confident to associate with this noble profession. So what has gone wrong? That is what we want to find out even ad we focus on rediscovering medicine profession in our time.

If you have been living in America, you must have heard that many doctors are miserable to the point of committing suicide. And from the previous statistics, it is evident that up to 300 physicians take their life annually with the remaining suffering from depression and frustration. This is worrying and we spoke to the experts at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center to establish the root course. Doctor Dalal Akoury MD who is also the founder of this establishment agrees that there is a big problem in the medical profession. She can trace this from poor remuneration to working condition and lack of promotion even when job appraisal is done annually among many other problems.

And because of this, the once prestigious profession has become very miserable with many physicians opting out. This can be very dangerous to mankind hence the need of finding solutions. And that explains why doctor Akoury having listened to the needs of many depressed physicians, founded I-AM-I (Integrative Advance Medicine Institute) to help in training medical staff in the new ways of administering treatment that is more rewarding not only in the financial aspect but also delivers satisfaction and comfort in work delivery both for the patients and the doctors.

Rediscovering medicine profession: Taking the first step to liberty

If you are a doctor outside there, you are not new to the misery and frustration we go through with the current system being used in medicine. I think that time has come for you and the many physicians out there to be appreciated adequately and not taken for a ride. If you are in agreement, then the starting point will be to get the right skills for the elimination of depression and frustrations with the current system. And that is why rediscovering medicine profession becomes important. With this piece of information, a lot may be going on in your mind right now. We appreciate that and therefore if you want to find more about I-AM-I you are welcome and you can always call on doctor Dalal Akoury MD on telephone number 843 213 148 for further insight about this new treatment dispensation that will bring a total turnaround in the lives of many miserable physicians in America and beyond.

Neurochemical grounds

Neurochemical grounds of addiction. W have a solution for you at AWAREmed health center

Neurochemical grounds of addiction: The exhausted GABA

In order to understand the neurochemical grounds of addiction, it is important that we first understand how GABA operates. And to do so, we are going to speaking to doctor Dalal Akoury MD, President, and founder of the AWAREmed health and wellness resource center. And the submission she brakes the understanding as follows.

  • The neurons
  • The central nervous system (CNS)
  • Inhibitory neurotransmitters
  • Excitatory neurotransmitters

Having discussed the first two previously, we are going to progress with the remaining as follows:

Neurochemical grounds of addiction: Inhibitory Neurotransmitters

  • Some neurotransmitters act like a brake on a car.
  • They inhibit or slow down the actions of the neurons.
  • These are called inhibitory neurotransmitters.
  • Other neurotransmitters act like an accelerator.
  • They increase the speed of the actions of the neurons. These are called excitatory neurotransmitters.
  • GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain.

Neurochemical grounds of addiction: Excitatory Neurotransmitters

  • Excitatory neurotransmitters are vital to:
    • Help us stay alerted
    • Maintain our normal memory functions
    • Maintain our co-ordination
    • Maintain normal emotional responses
    • Maintain our heart rate
    • Maintain our blood pressure
  • Glutamate (a common amino acid) is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain.

Which neurotransmitters are released?

  • If there is something that creates:
    • Anxiety
    • A feeling of panic
    • Other stress
  • Excitatory neurotransmitters are released and a person can feel:
    • Restlessness
    • Higher than normal irritability
    • Rapid heartbeats
    • High blood pressure
    • Insomnia
    • Even seizures.

The role of GABA in the brain

  • Glutamate speeds things up and when they are going too fast, GABA slows them back down.
  • If there is a problem with the GABA in our brains, the neurons fire more and more, increasing the speed of the processes in the brain?

Neurochemical grounds of addiction: How GABA works

When GABA binds to a nerve cell receptor, it opens the nerve cell so that chloride ions present in the brain are allowed to move into the nerve cell to slow the activity of the cell, and the person normally experiences a calming feeling. For example, if our brain produces more excitatory neurotransmitters like norepinephrine or epinephrine (adrenaline) than normal, we can become anxious or have more stress than normal. And when the brain is working normally, it will produce more GABA thereby slowing down the actions in the brain and thus have a calming and relaxing effect on us.

Finally, this article will go a long way in helping you do the right thing with your life. In doing so certain professional decisions will have to be made and to do this, seeking for the expert opinion will be necessary. And that is where doctor Dalal Akoury and her team of experts come in. the lever of professionalism at this facility (AWAREmed health center) speaks for itself since doctor Akoury’s practice focuses on personalized medicine through healthy lifestyle choices that deal with primary prevention and underlying causes instead of patching up symptoms. This is what you need and calling her on telephone number 843 213 1480 should be your starting point for the total life transformation.

Rebuilding immune system using only essential food nutrients

Rebuilding immune system: Nutrients supporting immune system

We have in the past discussed the immense role of immune system in the human body sighting some of the consequences and how addiction affect us when the immune system is weak. This shows that we have to do whatever it takes to have a strong immune system at all times. And based on these findings, and with the professional help of doctor Dalal Akoury MD, we want to build a discussion in this article while focusing on the rebuilding immune system restoration by using good food nutrients or diet as many would call it. Over the past decade, several studies have shown that nutrition plays a major role in supporting the production and action of both the cells and the soluble factors of the immune system. Protein, antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and certain vitamins, and minerals are all very instrumental to a healthy immune system says doctor Akoury.

Rebuilding immune system: Protein and immune system

Many research findings have established that protein deficiency can have an assortment of untold effects on the immune system of any individual. For example, protein malnutrition may be an important contributing factor in HIV seroconversion, that is to say, the process by which a person with primary exposure to Human Immunodeficiency Virus becomes infected with that virus. Studies have shown that deficiency of high-quality protein can result in depletion of immune cells, the inability of the body to make antibodies, and other immune-related problems.

To have the clear picture of how important this nutrient is, let’s look at its contents, protein is composed of the 20 amino acids which the body needs for growth and repair some of these amino acids appear to be particularly important for immune functioning. For example, the amino acids called glutamine and arginine are considered as nutrition therapy in pre-surgery patients because of their ability to stimulate the immune system. Interestingly, it is not a just deficiency of these amino acids that can compromise the immune system an imbalance in the ratios of amino acids can also affect the immune response.

It’s therefore important that a diet that supports a healthy immune system should contain foods rich in providing high-quality and complete protein such as those found in eggs, fish, and shellfish. Not forgetting many vegetables and grains which are also excellent sources of many of the immune-stimulating amino acids, together with other protein sources not mention here but are particularly beneficial. Finally, in doing all these, it is equally important to note that besides poor nutrition, misuse of substances is also a major threat to your immune system. And for this reason, doctor Akoury made a decision of creating a medical center whose main objective is to transform each individual’s life through increasing awareness about health and wellness and by empowering individuals to find their own inner healing power. Dr. Akoury’s practice focuses on personalized medicine through healthy lifestyle choices that deal with primary prevention and underlying causes instead of patching up symptoms. This is one of the professionals you may want to look for to help you in all your addiction related complications. You can schedule your appointment by calling her on telephone number 843 213 1480 today.

Drinking problems

Drinking problems and denial are the Conner stone of destruction in addiction

Drinking problems and denial: Helping alcoholism victims get treatment

If you’re ready to admit your drinking problems, you’ve already taken the first step. It takes tremendous strength and courage to face alcohol abuse and alcoholism head on and that is why in most cases expert across the globe including those from AWAREmed health and wellness resource center under the able leadership of doctor Dalal Akoury agrees that helping alcoholism victims get treatment is often very difficult due to the problems relating to the addictiveness of the substance and denial. Reaching out for support is the second step. But one very important point is that it really doesn’t matter whether you choose to go to a rehab center, get help from self-help programs, get therapy, or take a self-directed treatment approach, support is essential. Doctor Akoury reiterates that recovering from alcohol addiction is much easier when you have people you can lean on for encouragement, comfort, and guidance. Without support, it’s easy to fall back into old patterns when things get tough.

Nonetheless, it is important noting that, your continued recovery depends on continuing mental health treatment, learning healthier coping strategies, and making better decisions when dealing with life’s challenges. In order to stay alcohol-free for the long term, you’ll also have to face the underlying problems that led to your alcoholism or alcohol abuse in the first place. Those problems could be depression, an inability to manage stress, an unresolved trauma from your childhood, or any number of mental health issues. Such problems may become more prominent when you’re no longer using alcohol to cover them up. But you will be in a healthier position to finally address them and seek the help you need.

Drinking problems and denial: Helping a loved struggling with alcoholism

If someone you love has a drinking problem, you may be struggling with a number of painful emotions, including shame, fear, anger, and self-blame. The problem may be so overwhelming that it seems easier to ignore it and pretend that nothing is wrong. But in the long run denying it will be more damaging to you, other family members, and the person with the drinking problem. So then what shouldn’t you do?

  • Don’t attempt to punish, threaten, bribe, or preach.
  • Don’t try to be a martyr. Avoid emotional appeals that may only increase feelings of guilt and the compulsion to drink or use other drugs.
  • Don’t cover up or make excuses for the alcoholic or problem drinker or shield them from the realistic consequences of their behavior.
  • Don’t take over their responsibilities, leaving them with no sense of importance or dignity.
  • Don’t hide or dump bottles, throw out drugs, or shelter them from situations where alcohol is present.
  • Don’t argue with the person when they are impaired.
  • Don’t try to drink along with the problem drinker.
  • Above all, don’t feel guilty or responsible for another’s behavior.

The above don’ts are just guidelines which many have failed to comply with and has made grievous mistakes in the process. And so that you stand out, I want to seek your indulgence, to be different by seeking professional assistance from AWAREmed health center and doctor Akoury and her team of experts will help you professionally.

Neurochemical roots of addiction

Neurochemical roots

Neurochemical roots of addiction needs to be identified and corrected

Neurochemical roots of addiction: The depleted GABA

For a long time, various forms of addictions have been taken to be just as a result of social problems and sometimes even decisions or choices we make in life. Yes, this may be true but we need to take a moment and look into this problem more critically to find facts about the neurochemical basis of addiction. Doctor Dalal Akoury MD, President, and founder of the AWAREmed health and wellness resource center says that it’s good that modern addiction medicine now recognizes that substance dependency of any kind is a disease process of the brain that features lowered dopamine and glutamate neurotransmitter levels. Importantly, as more legitimate research is done in this field of addiction medicine whose experimental basis is beginning to gain ground, models of neurochemical roots of addiction in the future may also feature lowered levels of GABA as the disease progresses. To understand this neurotransmitter (GABA) it will be necessary that we try to define some of the terms associated with it and appreciate the roles and functions of GABA in totality.

The use of GABA

Because of our unique DNA and the way that each of us metabolizes drugs, each of us may have different amounts of GABA in the brain but we are still considered to be operating “normally.” Unfortunately, there are no accepted medical tests to determine if we have too much or too little GABA activity. It appears that people who are nutritionally deficit and dehydrated often have problems with the operation of GABA in their brains. Since almost all of our patients are nutritionally deficient and dehydrated when they arrive at our facility, we have always implemented the addition of GABA to the IV therapy given to patients. The purpose is to provide a more natural boost to the GABA in the brain and to allow the calming effect of GABA to make the detoxification process more comfortable. Let us now understand how GABA operates by defining these terms.

Neurochemical roots of addiction: The neuron

  • A neuron is another name for a nerve cell.
  • Nerve cells float in the fluid.
  • Each neuron has an axon a thread-like part of the cell that sends signals from the cell body and a dendrite a part of the cell that receives signals from other neurons.
  • The neurons are not touching and the space between the cells is called the synapse.
  • Electrical signals are sent through the synapse to a receptor, a place on a cell that can produce a certain effect like the production of adrenaline if someone is frightened.

Neurochemical roots of addiction: The central nervous system (CNS)

  • The CNS is composed of the brain and the spinal cord.
  • The CNS transmits signals to the rest of the body using chemical messengers called neurotransmitters.
  • Neurotransmitters are stored in vesicles—hollow sac-like structures inside the cells.
  • These neurotransmitters carry a message from a neuron to receptors on another neuron.
  • The action of the neurotransmitters on the receptors has been likened to a key being inserted in a lock.
  • When the key is turned the lock opens and the neurotransmitters activate the receptors which in turn create an effect in the body.
  • Then many of the neurotransmitters return to the releasing vesicles to be used again.

Finally, you can always talk to us by calling doctor Akoury on telephone number 843 213 1480 to help you with any concerns you may have.
