Alcoholism hazards on an empty stomach

Alcoholism hazards

Alcoholism hazards on an empty stomach is one thing you don’t want to experienced

Alcoholism hazards on an empty stomach: Understanding alcohol metabolism

 The surface area of the human stomach is only a couple of square feet, but because the small intestine has protrusions called villi, the surface area of the small intestine is thousands and thousands of square feet. Because of this fact, the small intestine is many times more efficient than the stomach at absorbing alcohol. If you want alcohol to be absorbed into the bloodstream slowly so that your BAC will only rise slowly, your best bet is to keep the alcohol in the stomach for a long time. There is a valve between the stomach and the small intestine called the pyloric valve, and when this valve is closed the alcohol will stay in the stomach. This valve stays closed when the stomach is full of food. And that explains why eating a full meal helps keep you from becoming rapidly intoxicated. Fatty foods and heavy foods tend to stay in the stomach longer than vegetables or sugars. Bluesman Charlie Patton spoke the truth when he said: “If you eat a lot of fat meat you don’t get so drunk.” This was his formula for maintaining when he played at parties where the booze flowed all night long because he understood the concept of alcoholism hazards on an empty stomach.

Alcoholism hazards on an empty stomach: What you drink does matter!!

Have you heard people reports that alcohol is alcohol and it doesn’t matter what you drink? Speaking to the experts from the AWAREmed health and wellness resource center under the leadership of Doctor Dalal Akoury MD, this needs to be analyzed critically because it makes a great deal of difference what one drinks for several reasons.

Alcohol Concentration: Many people find that they get much more intoxicated when drinking straight vodka than they do when drinking beer. This is because they get a lot more alcohol in their bodies in a lot shorter period of time when drinking the vodka. As a general rule of thumb the less concentrated the alcohol in a drink the less alcohol one will put into their body per hour.

Flavor: People also tend to drink strongly flavored drinks more slowly than tasteless drinks. Therefore most people will get more alcohol into their system per hour when drinking vodka than they will when drinking whiskey.

Carbonation: Carbonation speeds the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream. People drinking carbonated drinks will become intoxicated more quickly and achieve higher BACs than people drinking the same amount of alcohol per hour in the form of non-carbonated drinks. There is, however, a trade-off here because many people drink carbonated drinks more slowly than non-carbonated drinks.

How Ant-abuse Works

Ant-abuse is the drug that makes people sick if they drink alcohol. The drug ant-abuse binds to the enzyme acetaldehyde dehydrogenase and prevents it from breaking down the acetaldehyde produced by the metabolism of alcohol. Since acetaldehyde is a poison, as it builds up it produces very unpleasant symptoms including facial flushing, headaches, nausea, vomiting, heart palpitations and other extreme physical unpleasantness. Large quantities of alcohol mixed with ant-abuse can lead to death and this is what doctor Akoury will correct when you schedule an appointment with her now.

consequences of alcohol

Alcohol abuse remedy

Alcohol abuse remedy

Alcohol abuse remedy begins with ones acknowledging that he/she has a problem that needs to be fixed professionally

Alcohol abuse remedy: Over the counter medication

Finding alcohol abuse remedy alongside other related drug interactions including medications has serious health effects and must be avoided at all cost. Ironically, many in ignorance find mixing alcohol with other substances a normal thing to do. This has exposed them to great dangers and so as experts from the AWAREmed health and wellness resource center under the leadership of Doctor Dalal Akoury MD, we want to use this platform in creating awareness and also offer solutions to everyone struggling with alcoholism. Taking any alcohol solution whether it is mixed with over the counter medications, prescriptions or otherwise has severe consequences. And as a way of finding solutions, doctor Dalal Akoury founded this health facility to primarily transforming each individual’s life through increasing awareness about health and wellness and by empowering individuals to find their own inner healing power.

Besides that, it will interest you to note that 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. With this expertise, you can never go wrong with doctor Akoury, and all you need to do is to call her on telephone number 843 213 1480 for the commencement of your treatment program. The following are some common over the counter (OTC) and prescriptions medications and a few other substances which you should be very cautious about mixing with alcohol.

Alcohol abuse remedy: Aspirin

For some reason we are not quite sure of aspirin appears to block the action of alcohol dehydrogenase. What this means is that if you take aspirin before drinking you will become much more intoxicated on a much smaller dose of alcohol than usual. It is generally recommended that you do not take aspirin for around six hours before drinking alcohol. If you have taken aspirin before drinking be cautious and try to limit your alcohol intake as much as possible.

Cayenne Pepper: Cayenne pepper dilates the blood vessels and apparently leads higher BACs and more exposure of the brain to alcohol. In short, if you drink alcohol while ingesting a lot of cayenne pepper you will become much drunker than usual. Avoid red pepper vodka!

Tylenol (acetaminophen, paracetamol): Even by itself Tylenol can cause liver failure. Combining Tylenol with alcohol is a horrible one-two punch to the liver. If you love your liver then don’t take Tylenol or Tylenol PM or anything else containing acetaminophen with alcohol or when you are a hangover. Else you might as well fry up your liver with onions!!

Ambien: mixing alcohol with Ambien is just about a sure recipe for a blackout or a brownout. People who mix the two also often report sleepwalking or even sleep eating. It’s better to take one or the other and not mix them together.

Narcotic painkillers: Another recipe for blackout and disturbed behavior. Avoid mixing alcohol with Percocet, Percodan, Vicodin, Oxycontin, codeine, morphine or any other narcotic painkillers.

Benadryl (diphenhydramine), Dramamine (dimenhydrinate), and Unisom Nighttime (doxylamine): Mixing alcohol with any antihistamine which causes drowsiness will definitely enhance the feeling of drowsiness many times over. All OTC sleep aids consist of one of the three above named antihistamines. Mixing them with alcohol is not medically dangerous, but beware of the added drowsiness.

The effect of smoking Tobacco (Nicotine): Cigarette smoking slows gastric emptying and as a consequence delays alcohol absorption.

Withdrawal fears and drug addiction

Withdrawal fears

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

Withdrawal fears and drug addiction: Good health for wealth

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

Substance Dependency and Relapse

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

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

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

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

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

How many treatments will one need?

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

Using acupuncture treatment

Using acupuncture treatment

Using acupuncture treatment therapy for all kinds of substance abuse solutions

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

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

Using acupuncture treatment therapy: Benefits of acupuncture

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

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

Using acupuncture treatment therapy: Types of Acupuncture

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

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

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

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