Vampire Breast lift & Nipplelift™- The Painless Way

Vampire Breast lift. You can get that good look you want with the application of vampire breast lift procedure.

Vampire Breast Lift I am almost certain that all ladies would cherish a youthful look all round inside out. But often as your months turn into years and years into decades this youthful look fades away and you begin to worry and sometimes hate even the look on your body. I am I speaking what is in your mind? And would you want that youthful look even if you’re two, three, four or more decades old? There is a solution to your needs at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center a facility founded by Doctor Dalal Akoury to meet all your body structure needs among other health and beauty related disciplines. I will be discussing about Vampire Breast lift and how it is transforming the looks of both young and old ladies positively. I will highly advice that you keep on to this link to get more information about this process and make another step of calling the experts (Doctor Dalal Akoury) for the practicality of your inner and outer beauty.

The Vampire Breast lift and the Vampire Nipplelift™ procedures use the same principle of using blood-derived growth factors to activate unipotent stem cells as the Vampire Facelift™ Procedure® also discussed in our previous articles. It brings together the science of hyaluronic acid fillers i.e. Restylane and Juvederm unipotent stem cells, and beauty to generate a custom designer procedure. Vampire Breast Lift is a non-surgical, no downtime, form of breast augmentation that uses your own natural blood cells to lift the breast and nipple. While appreciating that not all women will have time off from their work to recuperate from an aggressive surgical procedure like a breast lift, yet their desire to have the size of their breasts well shaped, some would like more pronounced cleavage or more volume at the top of their breasts. Doctor Akoury an expert in this discipline will offers you the Vampire Breast Lift to improve the shape of your breasts without aggressive surgery allowing you to attend to your economic duties as well.

The primary objective of Vampire breast lift is to eliminate the use of a well-made bra because just like the bra would lift and bring the breast to an attractive shape and look so is the process of Vampire breastlift the only different is that with this process your breast will be properly shaped even without you using the bra. The ideal client for this process would be:

Those women who are not looking towards dramatically change the size of their breast.
Women who are looking towards give their breasts a more youthful appearance.

It is important to note that just like any other Vampire Procedures the Vampire Breast Lift injections will last between one and two years depending on individual patients.

The combination of products is what sets this technique apart from its Vampire Breast lift, and injectable filler, counterparts.
The entire procedure takes about 30 minutes and starts with blood being drawn from the patient.
The blood is taken the same way it would be for a normal blood test.
Once blood has been collected, it is then centrifuged and the platelets are separated from the red blood cells.
The platelets are then introduced to a calcium chloride solution which causes the platelets to release growth factors.
Small amounts of synthetic injectable fillers like Restylane or Juvederm are added to the mixture as well.
Once all the ingredients have been combined, a small gauge needle is used to inject the product into specific areas of the breast.

The Uniqueness of Vampire Breast Lift

The whole process is done in just under one hour and the combination of procedures done as follows:

Blood is then drawn from your arm in the same way it would be for a normal blood test.
Once blood has been collected, it is then centrifuged and the platelets are separated from the red blood cells.
The platelets are then introduced to a calcium chloride solution which causes the platelets to release growth factors.
Small amounts of synthetic injectable fillers like Restylane or Juvederm may be added to the mixture as well if needed
Once all the ingredients have been combined, a small gauge needle is used to inject the product into specific areas of the breast which has been numbed.
The procedure is very tolerable with minimal discomfort and little downtime.

Vampire Breast Lift Results

This procedure is the best because it’s getting back to what beauty is all about. The Vampire Breast Lift works at the stem cell level, generating new tissue. The procedure brings sensation back into the breast, areola and nipples. Other good results include:

Firmer More Shapely Breasts
Produce Lift and Rounder Cleavage
Restore sensitivity lost through breastfeeding or previous implants
Perkier Nipples
Increased Nipple Sensitivity
Smoother Skin
Fill in Implant “rippling”
Lift inverted nipples

Vampire Breast lift & Nipplelift™- How do you create Platelet-Rich Plasma?

Within a matter of minutes, we can create Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and activate your stem cells for a Vampire Procedure™ as follows:

The right quantity of blood is drawn for a basic lab test.
Place the blood into a centrifuge and spin the blood at a very rapid rate to separate the platelets from the other components of the blood.
The platelets are activated by mixing them with a calcium ion. This activation of platelets is the final step in producing your very own platelet-rich plasma.

Vampire Breast lift & Nipplelift™- Benefits of Vampire Therapy

The amount injected is equivalent to 5 – 10 syringes of Juvederm (which would cost much more and start fading at the end of a year).
This looks better at the end of a year than at the end of a month because it actually de-ages the skin.
Your skin becomes healthier in multiple ways like fewer wrinkles, better complexion, improvement in scars, lessens skin folds.
We can use it in the upper forehead and between the brows (which should not be done with the fillers like Juvederm and Restylane).
The technique of injecting is similar to the other products it’s just that the product is new and better in many ways.
Since we’re injecting a distillate of growth factors from your own blood, there should be NO side effects from the material injected.

Like I mention before your youthful look will deteriorates as you grow old but this doesn’t mean that you should look old. If you don’t like the look or shape or size of your breast for whatever reason, all is not lost for you. Call on doctor Dalal Akoury today or just walk in AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center and meet the most experienced experts who will help you in real time to have your breast just the way you would want them to be. Doctor Akoury will listen to you and use this technique to make your breast look not just youthful but just the way you want it, so make that call now and live the experience.

Vampire Facelift

Vampire Facelift – Facial Transformation

The face you want. Get it with Vampire Facelift application. Your face can be as youthful as you want it to be

Everyone would like to keep and maintain that youthful look for as long as they live. Even though we are all aware that aging is soon catching up with us we would still want to keep the good appearance. Doing this has been one of the big headaches for many people especially with the ladies but I want to bring the good news to you that there is a healthy solution to this problem. I spoke to doctor Dalal Akoury who is an expert in this discipline among other areas of vast health related matters and she share very good tips you can apply to look much younger including vampire facelift. I will be sharing some of the things you can do to keep your good look and I will recommend that even as we discuss this you need to consult with doctor Akoury for much more specialist care use her contacts available on this link.

The main topic of discussion in this article will be Vampire Facelift and how effective it is. Therefore vampire facelift was primarily established for people desiring to keep that healthy, youthful, and well moisturized young look skin naturally without the inconveniences of going through surgery. It is a systematic process that uses your own body’s healing and regenerative properties. This process does not take time with almost immediate result being realized on the same day and with continual skin regeneration benefit lasting for months after the procedure, and results can last for over a year.

It is important to note that Vampire Facelift® is not just a facelift procedure but rather a skin treatment procedure using the body’s own natural healing and growth factors that are derived from your own blood (and that is how the name Vampire Facelift® is derived). The procedure works well in combination with a hyaluronic acid dermal filler. This is a friendly process with almost no pain or just some negligible pain experienced, it involves a series of injections into the areas of the face to reduce wrinkles adding youthful volume and improving the quality of your skin.

What is a Vampire Facelift?

The Vampire Facelift is therefore a stylish procedure developed to facilitate and enhance volume in the face using a combination of hyaluronic acid like Restylane and platelet rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) which is a denser form of platelet-rich plasma (PRP).

Recovering Factors from a Patient’s Own Blood

The major component for Vampire Facelift is platelet-rich fibrin matrix which is derived from the patient’s own blood before being mixed with other factors. Platelet-rich fibrin matrix starts with a blood draw in the very way blood is drawn during any blood test after which the platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is detached by spinning the patient’s blood through a centrifuge to give a clear yellow serum after it is detached from the darker components made typically of red blood cells. Calcium chloride (CaCl) or other activator is added to the PRP to turn it into the thicker and longer lasting platelet-rich fibrin matrix.

Platelet-rich plasma is used throughout the medical world for its wound and injury healing properties. It also stimulates the production of collagen and for tissue regeneration. These properties enable platelet-rich fibrin matrix as an ideal natural serum for revitalizing facial skin quality and volume with increased collagen production, blood supply, and new skin and fatty tissue generation, creating the youthful appearance that comes with generating new, healthier skin. The purpose of Vampire facelift is to correct what aging is introducing in your skin quality. How then does aging affect the quality of your skin? It does so in two major ways.

There is loss of volume from bone, muscle, fat, and skin. This can make the under eye area and cheeks look flat and hollow. The skin can look dull or gray instead of being rosy as it was when younger.
The loss of support of the skin results in drooping upper eyelids, lower eyelids, cheeks, jowls and sagging neck skin like the neck of turkey.

Adding Youthful Volume by using Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

The first step of The Vampire Facelift® is the application of injectable hyaluronic acid dermal filler like Restylane or Juvederm.

One of the two main components of the facial aging process is the loss of volume due to a reduction of facial bone, muscle and fat, also known as “the apples of the cheeks”.

Dermal fillers add youthful volume to the face, while keeping a natural appearance.

Hyaluronic acid fillers do not paralyze facial muscles like Botox, so volume is added without inhibiting facial movement or expressions.

Normally there is specific art application of fillers for a more vibrant natural and youthful appearance and you can be rest assured that Dr. Akoury will apply his natural artistic abilities with her professional skills and over two decades of experience to perform your procedure, all you need to do is to get in touch with her (Doctor Dalal Akoury) and you will not regret the look on your face anymore.

Revitalizing your Facial Skin from Within

For comfort and almost pain less process, the platelet-rich fibrin matrix is placed just after a numbing cream has been applied. Platelet-rich fibrin matrix contains at least eight of the body’s own concentrated growth factors to revitalize the face in various ways like:

Specific growth factors increase the formation of new blood vessels also known as neovascularization and increased blood flow to the skin, resulting in healthier, better and quality skin.
Other growth factors increase new cell formation for skin renewal.
Another growth factor spurs the formation of new collagen, the major element of facial skin that diminishes in facial aging.
Other growth factors activate the multi-potent stem cells already in the skin by tricking it into thinking there is an injury, resulting in the use of a combination of growth factors and stem cells to generate new fatty tissue. The new fatty tissue repairs skin that was never injured, resulting in the generation of new, younger-looking skin.

Areas treated by the non-surgical Vampire Facelift® include:

Lines at corners of the mouth
Bunny lines or bunny nose – dynamic wrinkles on the nose
Crow’s feet that is lines in corners of the eyes
Forehead wrinkles
Frown lines
Smile lines
Plumping of the cheeks

A quick procedure that keeps working for several months

In conclusion and making reference from my introduction, talking to doctor Dalal Akoury who is also the founder of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center, will be the starting point of ensuring that you get that youthful appearance you have been looking for. Doctor Akoury together with her team of experts appreciate that you need to get quick result and they will just do that, remember that the entire Vampire Facelift procedure only takes about an hour to complete. Within the hour all the steps including the: blood draw, preparation of the PRP, platelet-rich fibrin matrix, and The Vampire Facelift® treatment itself will be complete and your face will surprise you when you look into the morrow. Take that positive step of calling doctor Akoury today and experience the real professional touch and take not that since skin renewal and rejuvenation is using the body’s own active regeneration components, facial skin renewal is continual for about 3 months after the procedure while the overall effects of the Vampire Facelift® can last for over a year. Thank you for desiring to make a difference in your face with the best at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center.

Insulin Resistance

August 17, 2014

Insulin resistance increases cancer risk

Insulin Resistance Insulin is a crucial hormone in the body. Hormones are the body’s messengers that are made by the Endocrine glands. The hormones flow through the bloodstream to the organs and tissues where they help in accomplishing some bodily processes. The hormones are very important in the entire body of humans as they affect most bodily functions. The hormones will give us good health when there functions are at optimum. In case they do not function well a person may get some diseases and the major cause of hormonal dysfunction is hormonal imbalance. In case the balance between crucial hormones is not achieved disease like cancer will be knocking on the doors of your immunity. The changes in hormone dominance may occur naturally. This is because as we are growing production of some hormones is halted leading to some hormones being dominant. This can be addressed by help of an integrative cancer doctors as dominance of certain hormones increases your risk to cancer. However these fluctuations in levels of hormones may be induced by environmental factors such as the pathogens in the environments and the heavy metals that may remain in the vegetables we eat as a result of harmful herbicides used. Hormones play a great role in cancer etiology and therefore levels of some hormones like insulin should be monitored to avoid levels that may increase cancer risk.

Insulin Hormone Resistance

The blood sugar level is controlled by insulin hormone. It is responsible for transporting food that is converted into simple sugar (glucose) and transports it to the cells where it is broken down through oxidation to release energy. At times our bodies may have more sugar than what the insulin hormone can transport. This will lead to insulin resistance and eventually will cause obesity and diabetes. The connection between insulin resistance and cancer is that, when there is plethora of carbohydrates that cannot be broken down, they are store as fats. Excess body fats increase the levels of estrogen hormones, estrogen dominance leads to higher risk of breast cancer.

Insulin resistance is a situation is a condition when the body organs become resistant to insulin’s ability to transport the glucose into the cells. This condition is common after taking a meal that is high in carbohydrates. When there is insulin resistance and the glucose is not transported into the cells, the pancreas will react by producing more insulin hormones which leads to high hormonal levels in the blood. The pancreas may compensate for insulin resistance for some time but this won’t last long, therefore when the pancreas becomes overwhelmed and stops producing more hormones the insulin level in the blood will drop therefore leading to high sugar levels in the blood this increases cancer risk. Researchers have opined that insulin hormone resistance may be caused by obesity.

Insulin hormone inhibits growth and it increases when we eat more processed foods, carbohydrates and sweets. When this hormone is in high levels it increases the Insulin growth factor (IGF) which triggers the growth of cancer cells. There is a research that was done by Vanderbilt University in 2004, the findings of this research proved that increased growth factor and insulin resistance increased the risk of breast cancer in women. Women who have high levels of insulin resistance and increased growth factor are highly at risk of getting breast cancer. Another doctor, Dr. Pamela Goodwin while working at Mt. Sinai Hospital observed that most of the women who had breast cancer had high Insulin growth factor.

Insulin can also increase the sensitivity of cells towards other growth factors. Cancer is a disease that is rather complex and multifactorial but all types of cancer is characterized by uncontrolled growth and cell division. They are also resistant to programmed death also known as mitosis. Growth factors have been shown to be critical to cancer development and growth. Researchers have shown that people who have higher levels of insulin growth factors are at increased risk of cancers such as the colon, breast and prostate cancer than those who have lower levels of Insulin growth factors.

Insulin resistance affects the ability of the insulin to transport the glucose into the cells but it does not affect the growth promoting abilities of the insulin hormone. The glucose transporting ability is the only thing affected. This therefore means that in a case of insulin resistance the high levels of circulating insulin hormones may increase risk to cancer in a person. The pancreases ability to supply high levels of hormones during insulin resistance may help in avoiding diabetes but are worst to cancer as higher levels of circulating hormones increases cancer risk.

Insulin Resistance Different organs breast differently to high insulin levels in circulation .some organs become more vulnerable to the adverse effects of insulin hormone while others are not as vulnerable. The most vulnerable organ is the colon. Researchers have shown that colon has risk factors similar to diabetes. Factors that increase colon cancer risk include obesity, extra fat along the waistline, and lack of exercise, refined foods and diets that are high in saturated fats.

Dr. Dalal Akoury (MD) is an experienced integrative cancer doctor that has helped many cancer patients in their fight against the disease. She has worked hard not only in treating the disease but also in availing informational support to cancer patients at Awaremed which has become a place called home for many cancer patients.

Polysubstance Abuse, You can fight Polysubstance Abuse

August 15, 2014

Fighting Polysubstance Abuse – Drug Addiction

Fighting polysubstance abuse- the war on drugs must be worn at all cost. Indulgence in polysubstance abuse is not helping fight the war.

We are living in a world where people want to explore all things even those things that are dangerous to their lives. Take for example drugs, there are substances which are not just harmful to one’s life but are life threatening and fatal. You would therefore wonder why someone would want to take this kind of adventure. I am not trying to confuse you here but I am talking about what is known as polysubstance abuse which is defined as the use of more than three groups of addictive substances over a period of one year. This normally happens when a person indulges in acts of abusing several substances within a short period of time, often in an attempt to enhance the effect of a single drug to create a more intense high. We can therefore conclude that polysubstance abuse is where no single substance is identified as the user’s drug of choice.

Some combination drug users have “patterned” use. These include:

Alcoholics who for example use will cocaine only after they’ve reached a certain state of intoxication meaning that they don’t overuse.
Addicts who speed ball that is to say that they are mixing cocaine and heroin for intravenous use and other combinations.
There is another polysubstance subgroup, consisting mostly of adults already addicted to alcohol. After an injury or surgery, they were placed on opiate medications and developed a pain syndrome over time. They then mixed substances or switched to opiates as their drug of choice.

Polysubstance Abuse among Different Populations

Adult polysubstance abuse, according to literature, is often associated with other mental health conditions. Homelessness, personality disorders, and psychiatric disorders such as major depression, psychosis, and bipolar disorder are common. The overlap of polysubstance dependence and psychiatric problems points to a lot of self-medication. Typically, among multiple substance users, individuals used alcohol or marijuana at an early age and then added other substances (or changed their drugs of choice) without quitting their original substances.

Among young people, polysubstance abuse is often the norm, and not the exception. The most commonly abused polysubstance by adolescents are marijuana, alcohol, and heroin. Other drugs used include MDMA (ecstasy), dextromethorphan, multiple forms of opiates, cocaine, hallucinogens, and inhalants.
A 2004 study of young people reported that one-half had used an illicit street drug by the end of their senior year. Two million young people need treatment for alcohol and drug addiction, but only 8 percent actually get it. Nearly one-third of young people addicted to psycho-stimulants also suffered from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and 20 percent said they gave their medications to others.
One treatment facility said that 33 percent of the adolescents currently in treatment had polysubstance addiction.
The elderly are another population that clearly has a problem with polysubstance abuse.
Older people have more medical conditions that often require prescriptions. Over time with debilitating illnesses such as Alzheimer’s disease the tendency to over medicate (taking more of a drug, more often, forgetting when and if medication was already taken) increases the likelihood of polysubstance abuse. Combined with alcohol, the results can be devastating, even fatal.
Elderly women tend to keep their substance abuse and chemical dependency secret. Alcoholism occurs later in women’s lives, perhaps due to problems associated with divorce or separation. Women who are over 55 have less tolerance for alcohol and are therefore more prone to addiction. They are also less likely than men to seek treatment and also use prescribed psychoactive drugs.
Polysubstance abuse is increasingly prevalent among the street drug user population. Different substances abused include heroin, prescription opioids, benzodiazepines, cocaine, crack, alcohol, and marijuana.

Detoxification for Polysubstance Abuse and Addiction

Before treatment to address underlying causes of polysubstance addiction, detoxification must first be done. Detox is more complex and problematic with polysubstance addiction for several reasons. An accurate history of total substances abused must be obtained, and the patient may not be able or willing to provide complete details. Determination of the actual substance being used has to be made using screens for breath, urine, and/or blood.

Some patients can be treated on an outpatient basis, but others, particularly those with alcohol, sedative, hypnotic, opioid, and anxiolytic abuse may require hospitalization or inpatient detox. Repeated abstinence failures or severe anxiety, depression, or psychotic symptoms lasting 1 to 3 days after abstinence may also require inpatient substance abuse treatment.
After patients admitted for detox for opioids began to show classic alcohol withdrawal symptoms, some treatment professionals opted to routinely treat their detox patients with thiamine until a determination could be made that there was no history of alcohol use.
Diagnosis and treatment of patients who have been on psychotropic medications while they were already addicted is more difficult.
If a patient doesn’t know, or is unable to discuss, use of opioid drugs and it’s been days since their last drug use, opiate withdrawal symptoms can lag. Urine screens my not be able to detect the drug.
Treatment for mixed addiction that also includes alcohol use may include benzodiazepines during the acute phase of alcohol withdrawal. Benzodiazepines can help decrease tremors and prevent or reduce increases in heart rate and blood pressure.
Medication to treat symptoms of diarrhea or muscle aches may also be prescribed. Folic acid, thiamine, and Vitamin B-12 may counteract vitamin deficiencies.

Evaluation Factors

The length of the treatment program is determined by how long and what type of substance dependence the patient has, whether or not organ damage exists, any underlying mental illness, the patient’s desire to change and willingness to undergo treatment, adequacy of the patient’s social support system, treatment choice, and plans for ongoing care.

Treatment after Detox

After drug use patterns and substances have been identified, a thorough psychological evaluation is necessary. There needs to be enough time for detox, history evaluation, and a thorough understanding of any psychiatric conditions that exist.

Although there are many different aspects of treatment, they generally include four phases.

The acute phase – this is where the focus is on alleviating symptoms or physiological withdrawal. This typically lasts 3 to 5 days, but is dependent on the number, type, and length of substances abused.

The abstinence period – this phase concentrates on changing the patient’s behavior which is usually about one month

The early remission phase – follows and can last up to 12 months. The sustained remission phase lasts as long as the patient refrains from alcohol or substance use and no longer exhibits any of the criteria for polysubstance abuse.

Treatment during early remission may involve education on the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of addiction and recovery. The patient learns to identify stressors and triggers that cause drug use. They learn ways to manage those stressors and also build up coping skills. They can also undergo assertiveness training and relaxation techniques.

Polysubstance Addiction – Is There Hope?

Fighting polysubstance abuse is more difficult than abuse of a single substance, but it can be successful. The likelihood of success depends on the individual’s determination and discipline to follow through on the requirements to abstain completely from substance abuse. Such determination and discipline does not come easily, especially for hard-core or long-term abusers and addicts. There may be repeated relapses before stability becomes a part of the recovering addict’s life. After treatment, recovery from polysubstance abuse and addiction just like for any addiction requires ongoing diligence and participation in a support network. While understanding the difficulty involved in treatment and recovery of this nature doctor Dalal Akoury established AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center facility to help in the treatment of all kinds of addiction.

Alcoholic Relapse

August 14, 2014

Alcoholic Relapse – Social and Emotional Causes

In treating drug addiction relapse will be a common occurrence. Alcoholic relapsing need not to give up as this is normal and will be over-come with time.

Relapse is a common occurrence in management of various addictions. When a recovering patient relapses several times they may get discouraged but this is generally not an indication of treatment failure but just a confirmation that some progress is being made and more needs to be done in the same line. The truth is over 80% of people treated for alcoholism relapse not just during treatment but even after years of abstinence. Patients and their caregivers should understand that relapses of alcoholism are analogous to recurrent flare-ups of chronic physical diseases. Factors that place a person at high risk for relapse include:

Frustration and anger
Social pressure
Internal temptation

Mental and Emotional Stress – Alcohol blocks out emotional pain and is often perceived as a loyal friend when human relationships fail. It is also associated with freedom and with a loss of inhibition that offsets the tedium of daily routines. When the alcoholic tries to quit drinking, the brain seeks to restore what it perceives to be its equilibrium. The brain responds with depression, anxiety, and stress (the emotional equivalents of physical pain), which are produced by brain chemical imbalances. These negative moods continue to tempt alcoholics to return to drinking long after physical withdrawal symptoms have abated.

Codependency – Many aspects of the ex-drinker’s relationships change when drinking stops, making it difficult to remain abstinent:

One of the most difficult problems that occur is being around other people who are able to drink socially without danger of addiction. A sense of isolation, a loss of enjoyment, and the ex-drinker’s belief that pity, not respect, is guiding a friend’s attitude can lead to loneliness, low self-esteem, and a strong desire to drink again.
Friends may not easily accept the sober, perhaps more subdued, ex-drinker. Close friends and even intimate partners may have difficulty in changing their responses to this newly sober person and, even worse, may encourage a return to drinking.
To preserve marriages, spouses of alcoholics often build their own self-images on surviving or handling their mates’ difficult behavior and then discover that they find it difficult to adjust to new roles and behaviors.

In order to maintain abstinence, the ex-drinker may need to separate from these enablers. Close friends and family members can find help in understanding and dealing with these issues through social groups.

Social and Cultural Pressures – The media has become a powerful communication tool for the pleasures of drinking in advertising and programming. The medical benefits of light-to-moderate drinking are frequently publicized, giving ex-drinkers the false excuse of returning to alcohol for their health.

Risk Factors

It is amazing that even with obvious health risk of alcohol people are still very much into drinking. It has become a global problem with the west taking the lead in alcohol abuse. America for example is struggling with this problem of alcohol abuse with most under age getting into drinking habit. Most American adults drink at levels that put them at risk for alcohol dependence and alcohol-related problems. Let us therefore look at some of the risk factors for alcohol dependence may include:

Age

Drinking in Adolescence – we all know that alcohol consumption is very unhealthy in all dimensions, the risks of alcohol use gets more complicated depending on when one begins taking alcohol and the duration of usage. For instance anyone who begins drinking in adolescence is at risk for developing alcoholism. The earlier a person begins drinking, the greater the risk and so young people at highest risk for early drinking are those with a history of abuse, family violence, depression, and stressful life events. People with a family history of alcoholism are also more likely to begin drinking before the age of 20 and to become alcoholic. Such adolescent drinkers are also more apt to underestimate the effects of drinking and to make judgment errors, such as going on binges or driving after drinking, than young drinkers without a family history of alcoholism.

Drinking in the Elderly Population – Although alcoholism usually develops in early adulthood the elderly are not safe either. They are also affected though in a different way for example those who maintain the same drinking patterns as they age can easily develop alcohol dependency without realizing it. It will take a fewer drinks to become intoxicated, and older organs can be damaged by smaller amounts of alcohol than those of younger people. Besides all these, many medications prescribed for older people interact adversely with alcohol.

Gender

Majority of alcohol users are men though the women population drinking is also rising by the day. Studies suggest that women are more vulnerable than men to many of the long-term consequences of alcoholism. For example, women are more likely than men to develop alcoholic hepatitis and to die from cirrhosis, and again they are more vulnerable to the brain cell damage caused by alcohol.

History of Abuse

The load of individuals past life style will have great significance in the present. Those brought up by alcoholic parents have a higher risk for substance abuse later in life. In one study, 72% of women and 27% of men with substance abuse disorders reported physical or sexual abuse or both. They also had worse response to treatment than those without such a history.

Psychiatric and Behavioral Disorders

Psychiatric Disorders – Severely depressed or anxious people are at high risk for alcoholism, smoking, and other forms of addiction. Likewise, a large proportion of alcohol-dependent people suffer from an accompanying psychiatric or substance abuse disorder. Either anxiety or depression may increase the risk for self-medication with alcohol. Depression is the most common psychiatric problem in people with alcoholism or substance abuse. Alcohol abuse is very common in patients with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

Long-term alcoholism itself may cause chemical changes that produce anxiety and depression. It is not always clear, then, whether people with emotional disorders are self-medicating with alcohol, or whether alcohol itself is producing mood swings.

In conclusion, I believe you’re up to date with the social aspects of alcohol use. In our introduction we illustrated how relapse is a common happening addiction treatment and probably this is your area of concern and I want to offer you an opportunity to get over it. This is not something you can go through on your own, you will need the opinion of experts in this line and Dr. Dalal Akoury who is also the founder of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center is the person you need right now.
