Understanding process addiction today: When it begins with a single behavior

For a very long time people did not believe that process or behavioral addiction can pose threats. They were seen as actions of leisure and therefore very harmless. But today that is no longer the case. Understanding process addiction as one associated to certain activities or processes such as sex, eating, gambling, internet surfing, video gaming and tanning as opposed to a “substance addiction” like that of drugs or alcohol. Nonetheless experts at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under the able leadership of doctor Dalal Akoury, MD have established that process addictions are “real” addictions and not just that, they’re sharing many commonalities with drug addiction.

Behavioral addictions can be debilitating and difficult to overcome just as drug and alcohol addictions. Current research supports the growing understanding that process addictions impact chemicals in the brain much the same way as illicit substances. And because of that it will interest you to note that when you visit us at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center our approach is to professionally look at all addictions, whether they surface as substance abuse or compulsive behaviors because one common denominator they have is that they are fueled by certain underlying issues like trauma, attachment and neglect and beside that they are typically perpetuated by co-occurring mental health disorders such as anxiety, depression and personality disorders. We therefore take it upon ourselves to professionally help our clients address these challenges and heal deep emotional wounds to enable them lead healthy and much fulfilling lives without the need for destructive coping mechanisms that present as behavioral addictions. The following are some examples of process addictions:

Understanding process addiction today: Gambling addiction

Gambling is any behavior that is likely to cause disruptions in any major area of life: psychological, physical, social or vocational. Gambling is associated with a condition known as pathological or compulsive gambling, a progressive addiction characterized by increasing preoccupation with gambling, a need to bet more money more frequently, restlessness or irritability when attempting to stop, “chasing” losses, and loss of control manifested by continuation of the gambling behavior in spite of serious negative consequences.

Understanding process addiction today: Compulsive shopping or spending

Shopping addiction can wreak havoc on a person’s life, family and finances. Anyone suffering from this get a similar type of “high” from shopping just in the same way as those struggling with other addictive behaviors. In some individuals, shopping binges can trigger endorphins and dopamine, the “feel good” chemicals in the brain, reinforcing the behavior.

Understanding process addiction today: Sex and love addiction

These are intimacy disorders that fulfill unmet, deeply ingrained needs for control, power, love or affection. Both conditions are strongly associated with early childhood trauma and carry a great deal of shame. Like all addictions, sex and love addiction are progressive in nature. Over time, the addict craves more frequent, intense or unusual experiences to achieve the initial sense of relief or euphoria. Sex and love become destructive to the individual’s health, relationships, career and finances, yet the addict is unable to control their behavior. This list is not comprehensive and therefore, there is more which you can get upon scheduling for an appointment with doctor Akoury today and you will be professionally assisted.

Complete rejuvenation in just three steps

Complete rejuvenation in just three steps: The great nourishing platelet rich fibrin matrix

The Vampire Facelift ® may sound supernatural, but its benefits are based firmly in nature bringing forth complete rejuvenation. From the experts opinion at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under the able leadership of doctor Dalal Akoury, MD this is made possible by drawing nourishing platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) from the patient’s blood and reapplying it to the face. In just three simple steps, the procedure restores vitality to skin. If you are not comfortable with your looks, and it is standing between you and your life full potential, we have good news for you. If this article is addressing your condition, doctor Dalal Akoury and her team of experts will be there for you all the way and help you have your beauty fully restored. You can therefore call us on telephone number 843 213 1480 at your convenience to schedule for an appointment for the commencement of your treatment today. In the meantime, let us go through the three rejuvenation steps progressively.

Complete rejuvenation in just three steps: Reshaping and beautifying the face

During the first stage of the Vampire Facelift ®, the physician subtly sculpts the face using hyaluronic acid (HA) filler. The unique Vampire Facelift ® approach takes into account the appropriate proportions of a beautiful face, rather than producing an unnatural appearance.

Complete rejuvenation in just three steps: Harvesting and harnessing your blood’s healing power

Next, the physician draws a small amount of blood from the patient – about 2 teaspoons – and places the blood in a centrifuge to isolate the platelet-rich plasma (PRP). The practitioner adds special filler to this gel-like substance, which “activates” 8 or more growth factors designed to heal damaged tissue by stimulating collagen growth and blood flow.

Complete rejuvenation in just three steps: Infusing the face with rejuvenating injection

After applying numbing cream, the physician uses a special technique and a tiny needle to inject these growth factors back into the patient’s skin. By tricking stem cells into believing an injury has occurred, this process causes them to produce collagen, blood cells, and fatty tissue. As a result, skin appears younger and more beautiful. This procedure will continue to improve your skin condition over the 2 to 3 months following, as well as provide lasting effects for 1-2 years.

Finally our objective at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under Doctor Akoury’s care is to naturally revamp your beauty professionally. It is our business and we hold it so dear in our heart to help you have that desired youthful look in the most natural way and with absolute natural products. We will be looking forward to sharing the latest in all-natural facial rejuvenation and body contouring services with you and the global societies as well.

Inadequate water in the body

It is said without number that water is life. This is very practical when it comes to the health of the skin. Drinking enough water daily will give your skin the life it needs to glow.

Cell Phone

Even though cell phone are very important in our daily lives, their usage has not escape them from being classified as one of the notorious skin health adversaries. Hours spent talking on these gargets can cause breakouts and rashes along the jawline and even on the cheek. Therefore keeping your handset clean each time you are using it is very important for the health of your skin.

Hair products rolling on your face

These are meant for the hair and not the skin therefore when using them use a clean towel to cover your face to protect your skin. Also, make sure to always use a sweatband when working out in the gym so no hair products drip onto your face when you begin to sweat.

Unclean sunglasses

How much does it cost to clean your sunglasses? Certainly no cost at all yet we keep wearing our sunglasses in their unclean states which causes the accumulation of bacteria and when these bacteria enters into the skin spores at the bridge of the nose, they cause break outs and irritations. It will do you a lot of good to delete this from the list of notorious skin health adversaries.

Yo-Yo Diet

Constant yo-yo dieting can negatively impact your skin: Frequent weight gain and loss can cause the fibers in your skin to loosen over time, creating stretch marks and sag. You can therefore avoid this diet and by doing so you shall have eliminated one of the relatively simple but dangerous notorious skin health adversaries from your system.

In adequate sleep

It is true that you are working hard to provide for your family but you must not do it at the expense of your own health and that of your skin.

Holistic cancer treatment strategies

Holistic cancer treatment

Holistic cancer treatment strategies is all we offer if only you can call us

Holistic cancer treatment strategies: Raising hope for cancer patients

Because of the devastating nature of cancer disease, to reduce the pain, holistic cancer treatment is very necessary. This will need a lot of professionalism to be achieved. Experts at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center are very categorical that cancer can be avoided if certain things are done right. The prevention element would be the best because it would save us from all the complications that come with the diagnosis of cancer. In this article, we are not going to dwell much on the prevention aspect but to look at the holistic cancer treatment strategies in this order.

Cancer is an immune deficiency condition

First cancer impairs immunity. It is therefore important that we stimulate and support the immune system by taking the following precautions:

  • Chronic infections like Lyme diseases and yeast needs to be detected and removed.
  • Enhance immune defense to cancer
  • Patients’ needs to know their immune status through carrying out laboratory tests
  • Tissue inflammation needs to be decreased to promote healing

Cancer developed over time under the stress of accumulated toxins

To correct this, the body needs to be adequately detoxified.

  • A comprehensive whole body detoxification program in order for other therapies to work effectively
  • Detecting and eliminating food and environmental allergies
  • Detoxification is essential for cancer prevention and treatment
  • Laboratory testing to evaluate heavy metal or environmental toxicity
  • Restoring natural flora to the bowel

Holistic cancer treatment strategies: Malnutrition condition

Correct nutritional imbalances by:

  • Optimal nutrition foods, oral and I.V. supplementation to correct imbalances
  • Laboratory evaluation to determine any nutritional imbalance
  • A comprehensive cancer diet program

It must be appreciated that cancer is a whole body disease involving the body, mind and spirit. That therefore means that incorporating mind and body medication is very necessary. Like for instance:

  • Detect emotional trauma or stress trigger for cancer
  • Relieve stress burden through individual and family support, meditation
  • Use biological, psycho-emotional support to regain harmony of mind/body/spirit

Holistic cancer treatment strategies: Cancer and sugar

Targeted Low Dose/Insulin Potentiation Therapy (TLD/IPT) is a non-conventional protocol for the treatment of cancer based upon the hypothesis that insulin may be used to potentiate the effectiveness of commonly used anti-cancer drugs. Because cancer cells have many more insulin receptors than healthy cells, when exposed to insulin the cancer cells open these receptors and become more susceptible to low doses of chemotherapeutic agents. The chemotherapeutic agents are then given in much lower doses than in conventional therapies because of this insulin effect. TLD/IPT also delivers chemotherapeutic drugs more frequently, also thought to allow a therapeutic impact while imparting fewer side effects and allowing patients a higher quality of life.

Finally cancer has tendency of taking over the bodily systems and progresses in an acidic microenvironment, which partially contributes to pain. This can be corrected by modifying your diet to reduce the acidity in the body, drinking a lot of water, taking foods loaded with good fats, vegetables, lean meat, fish and whole foods. Remember that good nutrition will also help cancer patients through the negative side effects of chemotherapy and radiation
