Suicide and Drug Addiction

Suicide Rate in Drug Addiction and How to Naturally Prevent

Drug addiction has been known for its destructive effects on the addicts. Most of the side effects are known by many especially depression and other withdrawal symptoms that an addict faces whenever he tries to stop using the drugs. However there is also another serious problem that has now been linked to drug and substance addiction- suicide. Suicide among drug addicts has become a serious problem that have to be curbed as many addicts are finding it the easiest way to end their suffering and depression as they struggle to set themselves free from addiction. Most of the people who commit suicide do it under the influence drugs. The use of opiates like oxycodone and heroin are leading cause of suicides.

Cocaine Use Increased Odd of Suicide Attempt 

Suicide Student Overwhelmed Asking For Helphas been a problem that the society has been fighting with. It has very many causes, however as revealed by a study that was led by Richard Ries MD of Harborview Medical Center University of Washington Seattle, Wa, the major cause of suicide attempts are the use of drugs and substance. This study reveals that of all the major causes of suicide attempts, cocaine use leads by increasing suicide attempts 62 times more likely. This is followed by major depression which increases the odd of suicide attempts 41 times more likely. Alcohol use follows by increasing odd of suicide attempts 8 times more likely. This supports the notion that drug and substance addiction increases chances of a person committing suicide.

In this same study it was found that among other factors divorce and separation increased odd of suicide attempts 11 times more likely. A person may argue that now that divorce and separation also increases the likelihood of a person committing suicide then there is no way to link drug addiction to increased suicide cases. However if deviate from your view you will realize that drug and substance addiction has a bigger role in even divorce and separation. Most of the cases where married parties have to separate or divorce are often linked to drug abuse. A person gets drunk and becomes abusive needless to mention he may not be able to stand with his responsibilities causing the family to break. Socially, the use of drugs and getting addicted to them will even determine the people you relate with and what jobs you will even do. So drug and substance addiction will affect a marriage in many and may be the driving factor that leads to separation linked to increased suicide cases.

However it not reasonable to ignore other factors that may lead to divorce and separation such as infidelity, having abusive partners (some people get abusive even without using drugs), financial problems and other mere misunderstandings. In these cases it calls for counseling in order to rectify the problems before it results in divorce. As it turns saving a divorce may count in reducing the rate of suicide. Marriage counselors may help in restoring peace in a marriage.

What Predicts Suicide Attempts in Alcoholics?

Teen alcohol addiction (drunk teens with vodka bottle)Several studies have linked drug use to increase in suicide attempts. The addicts need to be helped through various ways to help them stay away from suicide thoughts. The doctors have found various ways through which they can predict whether a person addicted to alcohol may attempt suicide or not. These insights may help the doctors to find ways to counsel the addicts to be free from suicide thoughts. One of these pointers is the family history of attempted suicides. When a person has a family member who had committed suicide they are said to develop suicide thoughts. When these suicide thoughts become dominant in their minds they begin to view it as the best solution to end their addiction problems. By studying their family suicide attempt history they can be helped to adopt better ways of solving problems. Another pointer is adverse childhood experience. There are childhood experiences that keep haunting an individual. These thoughts may even be the cause why a person becomes alcoholic. Experiences such as rape, neglect or sodomy may leave a person feeling unworthy and such attitude may cause suicide. The doctors may find ways of helping such an addict to avoid suicide.

Today, suicide has become a major catastrophe. In America alone it is reported that suicide is among top 3 or 4 causes of death in the US from teens to 50. To reduce this rate, there are a lot that needs to be done. Fortunately several studies have shown the major causes of suicide and so an action plan can be developed to minimize the causes of suicidal deaths in both teens and adults not only in America but also in other continents.

Suicide Screen, Assessment Risk and Referral

Suicide is one of the major causes of deaths in teens. For this reasons there is need to screen the alcoholics and even teens for suicide risks. Unfortunately screening for suicide risks has not been utilized in the past majorly because many institutions lack these mental health resources. Risk assessment will be done after the screening to show probability of suicidal death occurring and after this probability is known then various measures can be taken to help the person before he becomes a victim of suicide. In most institutions there may not be abled professionals to handle a subject given the suicide risk factor may be high. In this case referrals become necessary where the person may be taken to more equipped centers with abled professionals who can help prevent such deaths.

Drugs and substance abuse contribute greatly to suicidal deaths and that is why here at AWAREmed we approach addiction integratively so that we not only deal with withdrawal symptoms but also assess other risk factors. Dr. Dalal Akoury (MD) has helped many addicts to retrace their steps and overcome addiction. You can call on her for more help.

The Role of O-shot and Orgasmic Meditation

October 6, 2014

The Role of O-shot in Orgasmic Meditation

There are millions of women who do not experience sexual satisfaction in their lives. Official figures put the percentage of women who experience one of the many forms of sexual dysfunction at between 30 and 50%. This means that all these women are unable to reach orgasm during sex, fail to have a sustained desire for sex or experience pain when having sex. The O-shot and orgasmic mediation (OM) are two new procedures that promise to not only change this trend but also revolutionize perceptions about female sexuality in general. In this article, we shall discuss the role of o-shot in orgasmic mediation.

What is the O-shot?

The o-short is a simple medical procedure that is performed on women. The procedure uses the platelets of a woman which are introduced to the vaginal tissue. The overriding goal of the o-shot is to enable a woman experience deep and satisfying orgasms during sexual intercourse, thus enabling her to lead a sexually fulfilling life. Of course there are many other additional benefits of having the o-shot, but it will suffice to concentrate on the main aim of the procedure which is to enhance your orgasms and make you be fully satisfied sexually.

How the O-shot Works 

The procedure for the o-short is simple. First, you will have to pay a visit to a professional practitioner. Currently, the therapy is not available globally so you will have to check with your doctor for its availability. The practitioner then gets a small sample of blood from your body. The blood is subjected to a special laboratory procedure that separates the platelets from the other components. Then the platelets are injected to your vaginal area.

The secret behind this process is that the platelets are able to stimulate growth of the vaginal tissue. Naturally, platelets play a leading role in the healing process in the body because they stimulate the development of stem cells. It is the same logic that is used in the o-shot therapy and orgasmic meditation. The platelets that are introduced to the vaginal area stimulate growth of the vaginal tissue. This increases the area of the tissue that is sensitive to stimulation during sex, thus boosting your chances of having orgasms.

What is Orgasmic Mediation?

So far, this is a practice about female sexuality that has been growing in popularity at a very fast pace. Started back in 2001, this form of sexual practice is carried out by women who would wish to experience the many benefits of orgasm. Participants usually have their clitorises stroked by individuals known as ‘strokers’ for a specified length of time until they get to orgasm. Of course there are standard procedures and regulations that are used to guide the process.

How Does Orgasmic Meditation Work?

One Taste, the company that is credited with popularizing this practice as a form of therapy for the entire body say that the aim of the  process is to enable a woman to form a deep connection with the person doing the stroking. So, it is better not to view orgasmic mediation as sex because it is not. It is a form of mediation that uses orgasm as a tool to help you get the best from the sensations that are associated with it. Reaching orgasm is not a goal in itself. Rather, it is best seen as a means to achieving what you need most, a form of deep relaxation and energy that can be harnessed for you overall wellbeing. That is what orgasmic meditation is all about.

The role of o-shot in Orgasmic Medication

From what we have learned so far, O-shot is a procedure that increases your ability to have orgasm. Orgasmic mediation, on the other hand, is a practice that helps you reap the benefits of an orgasm. It is then logical to say that that o-shot can play critical role in making orgasmic mediation successful.

By doing this, the o-shot enhances orgasmic mediation so that you achieve the following benefits. First, by successfully going through orgasmic mediation because of the effect of o-shot, you will be able to attain a higher level of vitality. This is a form of inner energy, a feeling of deep-seated ability and strength that flows from the inside of your body and is manifested in your outside appearance.

Second, the o-shot, helps orgasmic mediation build a deep sense of rapport, communication and connection between partners by indirectly enhancing the effect of orgasmic mediation. Since the o-shot is able to help you successfully go through your orgasmic meditation sessions, it indirectly helps you to reap one of the major benefits of orgasmic meditation, which is to enhance the level of connection between partners. This is achieved through the deep communication that takes place during orgasmic mediation sessions. You will be able to communicate quite freely with your partner during the process and this definitely enhances the sense of understanding and connection.

The o-shot can play a critical role in orgasmic mediation. All the benefits that you get from orgasmic meditation including overall relaxation, increase in vitality and even relief of pain can be greatly enhanced when you get the o-shot. Dr. Dalal Akoury of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Centre has been active in this field, training physicians on use of the o-shot and much more.

Breast Thermography & Prediction of Cancer Risk

October 5, 2014

Breast Thermography and Cancer Risk Prediction

In this article, we shall look at breast thermorgraphy and cancer risk prediction. Our focus shall be on discussing what breast thermography is, how it works and its role in predicting the risk of breast cancer.

What is breast thermography?

Breast Thermography and Cancer Risk

Breast Thermography

Breast thermography is one of the methods that are used to examine the internal structure of breasts as a means of detecting the possibility of breast cancer developing. Detection of breast cancer is one of the important elements in the overall management of the disease. That is why there are many different procedures that have been developed to help doctors detect the presence of cancerous cells in the breast of a woman pretty fast.

One such method entails the use of mammograms. These are special images that are generated using x-rays to view the internal structure of the breast as a way of testing for breast cancer. Mammograms have proven to be effective in screening procedures for breast cancer so far. Another one is biopsy. This is the most complicated and effective method of detecting breast cancer. Tissues are removed from the breast and subjected to thorough examination in the laboratory for the presence of abnormal cancer cells. It is actually the last step in the detection process.

Lastly, breast thermography is based on the idea that diseased tissues do have a higher rate of biochemical activity and, therefore, emit a higher level of radiation than the other normal tissues. The method uses this logic to generate an internal view of the tissues of the breast.

What is the procedure for thermography?

Naturally, the human body emits a form of radiation known as infrared radiation. There is nothing new in this for nearly all objects emit this form of radiation, what matters is the type of radiation that is emitted in terms of its range. When properly functioning, the emission of radiation from the body is actually uniform. However, when cancer is developing at any part of the body, there is always abnormal activity taking place at the cellular level in the region.

The abnormal activity is seen in several ways. First, the cancer cells seek to get extra supply of blood through the process of angiogenesis. This increases the biochemical reactions taking place in the tissues in which cancer is developing. Second, the cells seek to induce development of their own supply systems within the body. Once again, this causes hyper cellular activity. Third, cancer cells tend to break away from the original lump and spread to other areas where they can invade healthy cells and grow afresh. Known as metastasis, this process increases the biochemical activity at the cellular level.

Using specialized equipment, doctors are able to get images of the breast tissues by stimulating specific reactions to the body. For example, using special procedures, doctors can stimulate the body to cool down suddenly and then observe what parts of the body (the breast tissue in this case) fail to cool down relative to the rest of the body. Such parts are marked for possible presence of cancer cells.

Highly advanced cameras are able to detect such anomalies in the biochemical activity of cells and translate them to highly complicated images that are interpreted by specialists. The results of breast thermography are not enough for a diagnosis of breast cancer to be made on a patient. What usually happens is that breast thermography is used as an initial procedure. The results determine whether or not other additional tests should be carried out. Besides, thermography has been successfully used to monitor the progress of treatment in patients of breast cancer. Therefore, its uses are diverse.

Role of breast thermography in cancer risk prediction

Breast Thermography and Cancer Risk Basically, this procedure has been hailed as an effective way of detecting the possible development of breast cancer in patients quite early. When properly used, breast thermography can play an important role in detecting the risk of breast cancer early thus allowing doctors to tackle the risk using the right measures.

There are several ways in which breast thermography is a useful tool in breast cancer risk prediction. For example, the procedure is usually used in conjunction with other clinical procedures to ensure that cases of breast cancer are detected early enough to allow for successful use of appropriate therapies. Usually, breast thermography is used in conjunction with mammograms and biopsy to detect and make accurate diagnosis in patients before a specific therapy is recommended.

Also, breast thermography plays a role in managing the risk of breast cancer by being used as a tool for ordinary breast checkups. Since the method is completely safe and quite fast, it is used as a means of conducting checks on the conditions of the breasts of patients on a regular basis. Studies have indicated that this approach produces positive results over the long term.

Further, when used for the first time on a patient and the results indicate an abnormal image of the breast tissue, the results of this method have been useful in accurately indicating the possibility of one developing breast cancer in the future. Therefore, when one gets a positive result from this test, it has been the norm to institute the right measures to ensure that if the inevitable occurs, it can be tackled quite easily and fast.

Breast cancer is a common health problem today. Here at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center, we have devoted our resources to helping patients of breast cancer go through treatment quite fast and effectively. We use various alternative treatment methods to reduce the side effects and boost the effectiveness of the treatment method being used. We are located in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Immune Stimulation Therapy

October 5, 2014

What is immune stimulation therapy?

This is a form of treatment for cancer in which the immune system of a patient is stimulated in order to effectively combat the effect of invading cancer cells. Immune stimulation therapy is closely related to immunotherapy or biotherapy. However, it is accurate to view immune stimulation therapy as a component of immunotherapy. Immunotherapy can be seen as a method of treating cancer in which the immune system plays a leading role. The practice of immunotherapy is carried out using two major ways. In the first one; which is what we are concerned with; the immune system is stimulated to act against the effects of cancer cells. In the second method, additional compounds are introduced into the body to help fight cancer cells. This is what is commonly referred to as biotherapy.

The immune system and cancer

There is an interesting relationship between the immune system and how cancer develops in the body of a human being. The immune system is a complicated collection of processes, structures and connections that provides the much needed protection for the body. The environment we live in is full of foreign bodies in the form microorganism that are toxic to the body. It is the primary function of the immune system to not only prevent the entry such microbes into the body but also kill them in case they get in.

In destroying foreign bodies, the immune system makes use of white blood cells. Entry of foreign microbes into the body triggers a complex response process that leads to an increase in the production of white blood cells. The cells are able to engulf disease-causing microbes thus neutralizing the danger of the body being invaded and ran over.

To do this, white blood cells are able to detect the proteins that are found on the microbes. Since they understand the composition of all cells that are found in the body, entry of cells that have different compositions automatically triggers a defensive response.

immune stimulation therapy

The immune system is not efficient in destroying foreign antigens all the time. That is why treatments are sought for different diseases all the time. Cancer, in particular, presents serious complications to the immune system. First of all, cancer cells develop from normal healthy body cells. Through the process of mutation, erstwhile normal body cells develop cancer-like properties and set off on their own path with a different agenda: abnormal and unregulated growth. Because of their origin, cancer cells manage to evade the detection mechanism of the immune system.

Second, cancer cells do wage war against the immune system. By producing chemicals that inhibit the way the immune system works, cancer cells can be seen to be making preemptive strikes against the immune system, thus guaranteeing their own survival in the body.

It is these cells invest a lot in battling the immune system of a person that research in cancer treatment has discovered how important the immune system is in winning this war. The immune system is the major battlefield in the war against cancer.

Types of immune stimulation therapies

There are different types of immune stimulation therapies that are in use. Their common characteristic is that they work by stimulating the ability of the immune system to attack and act against cancer cells.

One of the methods by which they work is boosting the ability of natural enemies of cancer cells that are found in the body. For example, the body produces special chemicals called interleukins. These are compounds that play a crucial role in coordinating the way white blood cells work in the body. Also, interleukins are known to stimulate the production of white blood cells in general. Immunotherapy makes use of this relationship by increasing the level of this hormone in the body of patients. This way, the immune system is stimulated to act against cancer cells quite effectively.

Interferons are another type of compounds that are naturally made by the body to fight against cancer cells. Their ability to fight off virus infections and possible cancer development has been known for a long time. In immune stimulation therapy, their production in the body is highly boosted, thus empowering the immune system to fight against cancer cells in the body.

The fight against cancer cells is usually directed towards inhibiting their process of growth and development. Through angiogenesis and metastasis, cancer cells are able to develop, grow and spread across the tissues of the body. Interferons and interleukins work against them by undermining these processes.

immune stimulation therapyAnother way in which the immune stimulation therapy is used to treat cancer is special drugs that stimulate the immune system in specific ways. Usually, the cancer cells are able to evade attacks from the immune system because they disguise themselves as normal body cells. The immune system has an in-built mechanism that prevents it from attacking normal body cells. Therefore, theoretically, when this mechanism is stopped, the immune system is able to attack cells with fury. The good thing is that the fury is usually directed towards cancer cells. In practice, drugs have been made which do exactly this; temporarily stop the inbuilt mechanism of self-defense to give the immune system time to attack cancer cells. However, since the immune system attacks normal body cells as well under such conditions, these drugs usually have serious side effects on a patient.

Immune stimulation therapy holds promise as a way of helping the bodies of patients to fight off the effects of cancer cells naturally. There are several natural methods that are used to stimulate the immune system. The good thing in using such methods is that they do not produce side effects on patients. Here at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center, we offer different forms of natural methods of stimulating the immune system to help it fight against cancer. we understand the method as one that arms the immune system with weapons that it is best familiar with.

The P-shot for men

October 2, 2014

The P-shot for men

It is good news that the o-shot has reached the UK. Better news is that the Priapus shot, simply known as the p-shot has also followed suit. In this article, we shall look at the reasons why you need to take the p-shot and try to compare its benefits to those of the o-shot.

What the o-shot is all about

The o-shot is one of the most revolutionary natural methods of dealing with the many problems that women encounter in their sexual lives. Generally, women encounter a number of problems with regard to their sexuality. The bigger problem is that a significant number of the women who suffer choose to do so silently, owing to social norms which make it relatively difficult for them to seek professional help.

Statistics have indicated that many women suffer from low desire for sex. Generally, this is not a problem at all. However, it becomes a problem when it interferes with the sexual life of a woman. It is then that professional help is obviously needed. Another common problem of sexual dysfunction among women is pain during sexual intercourse. You need to understand that this is not pain caused by lack of lubrication in the vagina. Rather, it is a serious problem that makes it practically impossible for a woman to have a pleasurable sexual experience.

Then there is the common problem of failure to reach orgasm during sexual intercourse. By far, this is the most common problem for women. Many are the women who get sexually aroused quite well but during the intercourse, they completely fail to reach orgasm. For others, the orgasm may reach it but its intensity may be too low for them to experience it as it should be. Once more, this is problem that requires professional help.

P-shot for men

What the o-shot does

But thanks to the 0-shot, many women who are experiencing all these problems now have a reason to smile. Simply put, the o-shot has been shown to be able to tackle all these problems with relative ease. It not only frees women from the shackles of lack of desire for sex, it transports them to the highest levels of the pleasure of sexual intercourse.

But how does this procedure do all these? It is quite simple. The platelet rich plasma that is injected to the vaginal area stimulates growth of the vaginal tissue. It is the growth of new tissue around the vagina that increases its sensitivity in women thus making it easy for them to experience an orgasm. Besides, the procedure stimulates the libido of a woman to such an extent that she is able to lead a completely fulfilling sexual life.

How the p-shot works

Just like the o-shot is for women, the p-shot is the ultimate solution for male sexual problems. The p-shot is a simple natural procedure that is used to treat sexual dysfunction problems in men.

This is how the process works. First, a small amount of blood is drawn from your body by a doctor. The blood is then subjected to a special laboratory process that separates the platelets from the other components of the blood. It is the platelets that are required for the process. The separated platelets are treated and injected around your penis. You do not have to worry because the process takes less than 30 minutes and is completely painless. After a few weeks, you will start experiencing the results of the procedure in your sex life.

So, how does the process work? Once more, it is a simple process. The platelets that are injected around your penis stimulate stem cell growth. This is how you get to experience renewed energy and other additional benefits after going through the procedure.

What are the benefits of the o-shot?

There are several benefits that a man gets from the o-shot. First of all, the procedure results into enhanced blood circulation within the penis. Having a good circulation around the penis is a good thing because general functionality and even the process of erection depend on blood circulation. Therefore, a man who has received this procedure will experience much stronger and firmer erections than before. This is a definite boost to one’s sex life.

Second, the priapus shot has been shown to change the physical appearance of the penis in some men. It has been shown that the procedure can result into straightening and slight enlargement of the penis. The reason behind this observation is the rapid growth of stem cells that is stimulated by the platelet-rich plasma injected in the area during the procedure.

Therefore, men who get this procedure have their sex lives boosted because of the slight enlargement and straightening of the penis. Not that a penis that is not completely straight is a problem as such, but getting a completely straight one enhances the sexual experience.

So, the p-shot is a revolutionary procedure that helps men overcome their sexual problems, just like the 0-shot frees women from their sexual problems. There are several ways of getting the p-shot. You can check with your doctor on its availability and price. Here at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Centre, our concern is to ensure that your health is at an optimum level all the time. You can contact Dr. Dalal Akoury for consultation on any of the problems of sexual dysfunction.
