Diabetes disease treatment using stem cells

April 4, 2017

Diabetes disease treatment using stem cells a great idea for all age groups

Diabetes disease treatment using stem cells: The usefulness of stem cells

Various research has been established that most of the people struggling with diabetes illness have used drugs before. That is to say, substance abuse increases the risk of contracting this disease in many ways. Because of this, we all have a duty to ensure that diabetes and all other drugs addiction related complications are addressed effectively. That is why in this article, doctor Dalal Akoury MD, President and founder of AWAREMED Health and Wellness Resource Center is going to help us understand how diabetes disease treatment can be achieved using stem cells.

If you are struggling with this, you may want to visit us at the facility, and doctor Akoury will offer to you new advanced, patented fetal stem cell transplant-based method for diabetes mellitus which has actually been proved effective in the treatment of both types 1 and 2 diabetes as well as the prevention of diabetes-related complications, which usually affect the eyes, arteries, kidneys and so on. When considering this kind of treatment, it is important to note that alongside the traditional treatment of type 1 diabetes, stem cells are also very important:

Restoring the patient’s own β-cells and improving their functional capacity
Preventing the destruction of β-cells that are functional at the time of the treatment
Preventing diabetes-related complications affecting eyes, kidneys, peripheral nerves, and so on
Improving insulin-dependent tissue condition.
Ending the auto-aggression of cell-mediated immunity factors against β-cells

Diabetes disease treatment using stem cells: In type 2 treatment, fetal stem cells can help:

Restore peripheral tissue sensitivity to insulin;
Reduce the dose of hypoglycemic medications.
Reduce atherogenic hyperinsulinemia;
Improve the condition of arterial walls, which is vital for the prevention of atherosclerosis and complications arising from it;
Decrease the production of glucose and pathologic lipids by liver cells;

Diabetes disease treatment using stem cells: Treatment for children

Fetal stem cell therapy is one of the most effective treatments for type 1 diabetes mellitus in children and the only one that can slow down or temporarily terminate autoimmune aggression against pancreatic beta cells. If treatment is started within 6-8 weeks after onset, it is possible to prolong “honeymoon” period, sometimes for a long period of time. Nonetheless, it is worth noting that in children, fetal stem cell therapy is likely to results in:

Prevention of serious diabetes-related complication
Prevention of blood sugar fluctuations (no hyper- and hypoglycemia that might cause complications at later stages)
Preservation of beta cell production by the pancreas (if treatment is started early after onset)
Immune boosting
Easier and better diabetes management
Better overall health and general development

Finally, doctor Akoury is advising that for better delivery of good result using stem cell therapy, it is worth noting that this therapy is most effective at the early stages of diabetes. That is to say, if you or anyone you know is struggling with this condition, you need not wait until it is too late. The time for treatment is now, taking note that the main criterion for positive effects with diabetes is the long-term management of the disease and the inhibition or prevention of complications.

Brain unique functions and addiction

April 4, 2017

Brain unique functions and addiction have no relations and must not be compromised

Brain unique functions and addiction: Neurons and brain communication pathways

The study of some of the elements that cause health problems in our life can be very interesting. Understanding the brain unique functions and how it can be altered by addiction to various substances is very important. The brain communication pathways become the biggest victims whenever there is an attack resulting from drug abuse. The brain’s electro-chemical communication system is a communication system that sends information through a vast network of interconnecting neurons. Through this, the brain begins to develop a preferred or standard conduit of sending signals between neurons (neural pathways). Experts at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under the able leadership of doctor Dalal Akoury MD President and founder of the facility can now confirm that in the past it was believed that the brain’s neural pathways will be completely formed by the time we reached adulthood.

Brain unique functions and addiction: Neurons adaptation to changing environments

Progressively the scientific findings have established that this is a continuous process and in fact, the human brain continues to create new neurons and form neural pathways throughout our entire lifespan. That is why neurons are seen as dynamic cells that are constantly adapting to changing circumstances. It, therefore, means that if an injury or damages happen to an individual’s brain (such as a stroke or injury) the neurons will make new communication route around the damaged area. Scientifically doctor Akoury reiterates that this ability of recreation of neurons is known as neuronal plasticity.

Brain unique functions and addiction: Neuronal plasticity

Doctor Akoury reiterates that neuroplasticity is responsible for the regulation of our learning processes which enables us to adapt to our surroundings conveniently. To better understand neuroplasticity let us consider using this illustration. The brain forms neural pathways in a way that is similar to the formation of a demarcated hiking pathway. The more we travel a path, the faster, easier, and more familiar that path becomes. As the routine continues it becomes more visible, smoother, and easier to travel on. And with time this becomes a preferred route for many. This is also how neural pathways are formed. With time the brain forms familiar neural pathways which then become habitual routes. And in the event that the familiar route is blocked the brain responds swiftly by forming a new route around the blockage.

From the illustration, suppose you walk through the bush each day to visit a friend. You use the same trail each time and one day as you travel along your familiar path, you discover a huge tree has fallen over. It’s blocking your passage. You will need to forge a new path to go around the tree. At first, this new path will be narrow, difficult, and slow. It might even be uncomfortable. However, with time, it will become a well-worn, comfortable path. It will be just as easy as the original path. This can be affected by the use of drugs in many ways and to avoid that, it is only logical that you schedule an appointment with doctor Akoury to help you in keeping your brain unique functions uninterrupted for continuity.

Eliminating addiction formations

April 4, 2017

Eliminating addiction formations is a perfect way of gaining freedom and health without stress

Eliminating addiction formations: Craving, withdrawal, relapse and triggers

Many drug addicts often find it difficult in eliminating addiction formations in their lives for various reasons. This challenge is supported by several factors including denial and relapse among many others. Nonetheless, while these challenges are real, it is important to note that eliminating addiction formation is possible. With the right experts’ like doctor Dalal Akoury MD President and founder of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center, this can be done within a record time. If you have been there, you will agree with me that besides relapse and denial, withdrawal is such an unpleasant experience that one wouldn’t want to repeat since it serves as a serious influence and a motivation to get back to your old habits. When this finally happens (getting back to your addiction), it becomes much more pleasurable to the victim even as the consequences of addiction sink further. And because of its pleasurable nature, it even becomes more rewarding and therefore it is bound to be repeated again and again.

Some drugs substances like alcohol and opiates have withdrawal effects that are both physical and emotional. Other drugs or addictive activities may primarily involve around emotional symptoms. This characteristic of addiction occurs because of several changes in the brain meaning that we must do all it takes to ensure that defeating addictive habits and formations including craving, withdrawal, relapse, triggers of addiction are won. And with the help coming from doctor Dalal Akoury MD a veteran expert in addiction and her team of experts from AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center this journey and mission are attained.

Doctor Akoury explains that as drug use or the addictive activities escalates the involvement of various brain regions associated with our emotional state also increases. Therefore the brain region that is most often associated with our emotional state is the extended amygdala. Experts are of the opinion that, this area of the brain plays an important role in addiction because of its association with emotions and stress. And like we had mentioned previously that addiction and stress are closely related, we are going to be looking at the two progressively as we progressed into the discussion.

Eliminating addiction formations: Amygdala

We all have memories of various events in our lives which can either be bad or good. These memories and emotions can be affected by the amygdala. They can also be can be categorized as good or bad depending on the emotional states that happen during those events we are remembering. It is therefore very important to appreciate that these memories are formed from the brain and upon their formation, they are kept still within the brain along with the emotional attachment that occurred during those events.

In the same way, an addicted person may only need to visualize about engaging in his addiction and that will be enough for him to experience pleasure. In that case, the memory of engaging in the addiction is stored with a pleasant emotional state and hence the pleasing memories of engaging with an addiction can lead to repeating those behaviors and eventually forms a habit. That explains why defeating addictive habits and formation is very important. And to effectively do that all you have to do is to call doctor Akoury to schedule your appointment and your life will never be the same again.

How-Drug-Addiction-Affects-Serotonin-And-Dopamine

Dopamine reward principal

April 4, 2017

Dopamine reward principal. In fact, all addictive drugs and activities release varying amounts of dopamine into the nucleus accumbens with stimulant drugs like cocaine and methamphetamine releasing the most

Dopamine reward principal: Mesolimbic pathway

When the brain’s reward center is activated, it releases dopamine which then creating a pleasing, enjoyable sensation primarily to motivate individuals into repeating these behaviors necessary for survival. The reason why this is happening is because dopamine has rewarded us with a pleasurable feeling. That in itself is a testimony that dopamine reward principle (master) is the fueling the human survival. With that understanding of the purpose and functioning of the brain’s reward system. It would be important that we interrogate its (dopamine reward master) functions a little bit further.

Dopamine reward principal: Ventral tegmental area (VTA)

The circuit most associated with pleasure and reward is the mesolimbic pathway which is located in the brainstem. The objective of this area of the brain is primarily concerned with basic survival. Within the mesolimbic pathway is an area called the ventral tegmental area (VTA). The VTA projects to the nucleus accumbens (thought to be the reward center). The neurotransmitter most commonly linked with the mesolimbic system is dopamine. Many people consider dopamine to be the driving force behind the human pursuit of pleasure. The release of dopamine is a pleasurable sensation. The release of dopamine motivates us to repeat behaviors or activities that prompted this release. This system’s purpose was to promote survival by rewarding life-sustaining behaviors such eating and procreation.

Dopamine reward principal: Nucleus accumbens

All addictive drugs and activities release varying amounts of dopamine into the nucleus accumbens with stimulant drugs like cocaine and methamphetamine releasing the most. However, when it comes to drugs like alcohol or heroin, the brain’s own opiate system (endorphins) also gets involved. Doctor Akoury MD and founder of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center reiterates that even though different forms of addictions have different effects in the nucleus accumbens, they share one common denominator, that is, they all activate the reward system which in turn motivates us to repeat those behaviors, even though they may be harmful. Besides what we have discussed about the concepts of reward, pleasure, and craving together, it is however very important to appreciate that there is a distinction between pleasure-seeking and drug seeking. Note that pleasure-seeking is all about the pleasurable, rewarding aspect of addiction while drug-seeking refer to the craving aspect of addiction. Dopamine may be more involved in drug-seeking (craving) component of addiction. The opiate (endorphin), GABA, or glutamatergic systems may be more involved in a pleasure-seeking aspect of addiction too.

Finally, pleasure-seeking and drug-seeking (cravings) are interrelated, yet distinct. Research has established that natural rewards (food, water, sex) typically lessen their influence on the reward system over time. As a behavior occurs more often, dopamine levels tend to decrease in the process. Psychologists call this habituation. This makes sense. Once you’ve eaten enough food, you don’t need to be rewarded for eating more food. Then you would be eating too much, or too much of one type of food. Therefore everyone needs to take heed of keeping the brain free from all attacks be it from substances or otherwise. Talking to the experts at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under the able leadership of doctor Dalal Akoury should be your starting point. Call us today to schedule that very important appointment today for the commencement of your journey to full recovery from your addiction.
