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.

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.

IV Amino Acids and Mitochondrial Rejuvenation for Weight Management

October 1, 2014

Amino Acids and Mitochondrial RejuvenationUse of IV Amino Acids and Mitochondrial Rejuvenation for Weight Management

The holiday period usually presents one big problem to many people: unplanned for gains in body weight. There is good news, however. You can successfully manage your weight during this period by preparing thoroughly for it. And you can prepare by two main methods: use of IV amino acids and mitochondrial rejuvenation. We shall look at both methods in detail in the sections that follow.

What is IV vitamin and amino acid therapy?

This is a special form of therapy in which essential nutrients like vitamins, amino acids and others are carefully mixed and injected directly into the system of an individual as a way of treating a wide range of diseases and improving the general state of health.

The effectiveness of this therapy is a result of several factors. To begin with, the amino acids and other nutrients that are introduced to the body in this therapy are in a simple form that is required by the body. What this means is that once the nutrients find their way into the body, they are immediately absorbed and utilized for maximum effect.

You can contrast this with what happens when you rely entirely on your diet for supply of the nutrients. When this is the case, the process that the nutrients have to be taken through before being made readily available to your body is long and winding. First, the food has to be digested. This usually takes some time. Second, the absorption process has to take place successfully for the nutrients to be made available in your system. This process is raft with a number of shortfalls. Your body may have its own conditions which hamper the rate and extent of digestion and absorption of nutrients. All these contribute to a low level of intake of nutrients in your body.

Amino Acids and Mitochondrial Rejuvenation

However, the fact that this therapy entails direct administration of a high concentration of vitamins, amino acids, calcium and other nutrients to your system makes it quite effective and useful. Also, effectiveness and usefulness the therapy is enhanced by the fact that it can be tailored to your individual needs.

What is mitochondrial rejuvenation?

Your body functions properly because of the energy that is produced in mitochondria, special organelles in your body cells. When the mitochondria are functioning properly, you feel energetic and in good shape all the time. However, a decline in their form and activity is immediately felt in the form of fatigue and general decline in vitality.

To correct this, rejuvenation of the mitochondria is necessary. This is an essential process for one to remain generally healthy. When there is biogenesis of the mitochondria, an individual is left feeling healthy and younger. This plays an important role in helping you manage your weight as well

Role of mitochondria in overall health of an individual

There are several ways in which the condition of the mitochondria is directly related to the general state of your health. For example, the process of aging is directly linked to damage of the mitochondria in the body cells. A high rate of mitochondrial damage has been identified as one of the main causes of aging in individuals.

Second, degeneration of mitochondria has been identified as one of the main and common characteristics of many forms of chronic diseases. Debilitating conditions created by diabetes and cancer can be attributed to the high rate of damage of mitochondria in the body cells of the patient.

Third, the damage of mitochondria and the consequent degradation of the health of an individual have been identified as a result of destruction of the internal structure of the mitochondria. The mitochondria are highly complex organelles made up of intricate structures. It is the destruction of the internal structures that renders the entire mitochondria non-functional, thus setting the stage for the undesirable health effects that follow.

This underscores the importance of well functioning mitochondria in the health of an individual.

How IV Amino acids and mitochondrial rejuvenation help in weight management

There are several ways in which this happens. First, since one of the many benefits of the IV amino acids therapy is in enhancing the overall repair and activity of the body cells, it is useful in enhancing the rate of repair of the cell mitochondria in your body. Therefore, getting this therapy can play an important role in helping you manage your weight through the holiday.

Second, the process of managing your weight requires a careful balance between the amount of fat and muscles. On one hand is the need for speedy burning of fats to ensure that excess fat does not accumulate in the body and lead to unnecessary gain of weight. On the other is the need to build up lean muscles at a fast rate to ensure that the weight of the body remains within the desired levels.

At the heart of all these processes is the role of the mitochondria. Their perfect functioning determines how well these processes take place, therefore determining how well you manage your weight. Since the IV amino acid therapy has been known to provide to the body essential nutrient, some of which are quite necessary for proper functioning of the mitochondria, it can be said that the therapy is quite useful in rejuvenating the mitochondria. This, by extension, will help you successfully manage your weight through the holiday season.

The sole goal of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center is to help you achieve and maintain optimum health and wellness. That is why we have designed our services in such a manner that your needs take the center stage. Therefore, feel free to contact Dr. Dalal Akoury, a renowned medical practitioner, for a consultation session on how to tackle any particular health condition. She will ensure that you have your health in perfect condition. We are located in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Could you be at risk for Prostate Cancer?

October 1, 2014

The Effect of Testosterone Level On Risk Of Prostate Cancer

Introduction

In this article, we shall examine the effect of testosterone level on the risk of prostate cancer. This has remained a subject of great controversy because of the divergent views that have been fronted. Basically the argument has been that using testosterone therapy on men who have been treated of prostate cancer in the past exposes them to the risk of developing the cancer afresh. The reason given for this has been that the therapy could reawaken sleeping cancer cells in the body of the patient, thus triggering a new and aggressive attack.

On the other end of the spectrum has been the argument that testosterone therapy is not necessarily associated with cancer recurrence. And there have been studies to support this. We shall look at both sets of arguments in detail.

Testosterone Therapy

This is a common form of therapy that is widely used to treat a number of complications in aging men. With the process of aging comes a sustained decline in the amount of testosterone in the body of men. A decline in the amount of testosterone in the body is associated with a number of problems. For instance, men at advanced ages usually experience decreased libido. This effect can be attributed to a complex interplay of hormones within the body which is triggered by a reduction in the amount of testosterone. In the same manner, symptoms such as general fatigue and even other forms of sexual dysfunction (apart from the low libido mentioned) have been treated by use of testosterone therapy.

Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer is a common form of disease in men of advanced age. Although studies have indicated that the disease is able to affect men of even lower ages, it has been common for the disease to be associated with advanced age. The complex interaction between different factors in the body of men at advanced ages has been studies and the results have indicated that the risk of development of prostate cancer in men increases rapidly as they advance in age. So, with a decrease in the amount of testosterone, which automatically occurs with an increase in age, comes a rise in the risk for developing prostate cancer. Although this is true, it is worthwhile to mention that currently, studies are being conducted to determine whether the relationship is as a result of decline in testosterone levels in the prostate alone or the body as a whole.

Testosterone and Treatment of Prostate Cancer

For men who develop prostate cancer, the standard treatment procedure has been a radical reduction of the hormones in the body. This procedure has been used in many cases in which prostate cancer has developed and metastasized fully. However, studies have indicated that in some cases, prostate cancer is able to withstand such a treatment and recur in the future, if triggered by existence of the right conditions. The manner in which this occurs has been attributed to the ability of prostate cells to produce testosterone at a much higher level than before the hormone-reducing therapy was administered. What this means is that even if the amount of testosterone in the body of a patient is dramatically reduced by the procedure, the amount in the prostate remains the same, thus compensating for the loss. Therefore, when the right conditions are created, the cells that produce excess testosterone may develop into cancer cells.

Testosterone Therapy & Prostate Cancer

Standard procedure for tackling prostate cancer in men has been through surgery, chemotherapy and even immunotherapy. However, history and studies have indicated that when men who have been successfully treated of prostate cancer are exposed to testosterone therapy later in their lives, the possibility of the prostate cancer reoccurring is highly increased. If this is so, then testosterone therapy becomes dangerous for men who have been successfully treated of prostate cancer before.

However, there have been arguments to the contrary. Since a lot of studies have been conducted on this matter, we summarize the most important points here as follows.

First, although some studies have indicated that giving the therapy to men who have been successfully treated of prostate cancer exposes them to the risk of developing the disease afresh, the degree of risk remains minimal, at the best. Since the association has not been firmly established, the balance of probability has been that whether or not to administer the treatment to such patients depends on the judgment of the specialist. It is safe to say that the outcome of using testosterone therapy in men who have undergone successful treatment of prostate cancer cannot be predicted with certainty.

Second, there has been evidence to suggest that men with low levels of testosterone are at a higher risk of developing prostate cancer compared to those having normal testosterone levels. Therefore, if such men seek testosterone therapy in the future the risk of developing the cancer remains. This is so because testosterone therapy is not used as a prostate cancer treatment method.

Concluding remarks

AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center has been established as a leading center for cancer treatment. We offer our clients a wide range of services in relation to cancer diagnosis, treatment and general management.

Sex And Intimacy After Breast Cancer

Sex And Intimacy After Breast Cancer- Getting the Facts Right

Although breast cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer among women, advances in research have led to the development of therapies that have proven to be quite effective in treating the disease. Use of chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy, among other alternative forms of cancer treatments, have been widely used to treat women suffering from breast cancer. However, after successfully undergoing cancer treatment, many women experience drastic changes in their sexual lives in general and intimacy in particular. In this article, the different ways in which breast cancer affects the sexual lives of women, after it has been successfully treated, are examined.

breast cancer

  • Feelings of being unattractive

Usually, many women feel completely unattractive after they have undergone treatment procedures for breast cancer. There are several things that contribute to this feeling among them. First, many of the procedures that are used to treat breast cancer successfully are invasive. For instance, all forms of mastectomy are invasive in that the breast is invaded and tissues removed. Although there are reconstructions procedures that are meant to restore the breast to its natural shape and size, the impact of the procedure affects the sense of being attractive in many women. Secondly, the scars that remain after the procedures make many women to feel completely unattractive.

Furthermore, the majority of women who have undergone treatment for breast cancer tend to feel that they have lost their sense of femininity. Related to feelings of no longer being attractive, a sense of one having lost her femininity is equally devastating and arises from the reality that part or the entire breast has been removed. Also, feelings of unattractiveness in women who have been treated of breast cancer may be influenced by their partners. In cases of women who have lacked support from their partners, the feelings of unattractiveness and loss of femininity are strengthened. On the other hand, availability of support from the partner works to reduce such feelings in the women.

  • Impact on intimacy

For the majority, diagnosis of breast cancer always results into changes to their sex lives. This happens for several reasons and in several ways. For instance, many women tend to experience a decline in their libido after being diagnosed with breast cancer. There are several factors that are responsible for this. The most important one of them is the direct impact of the diagnosis which sets a train of emotional and psychological responses in a patient leading that lead to a decline of sexual desire in them.

With the reduction in the desire for sex, many women feel that they are failing in their duties to their partners. Feelings of guilt, apparent failure and loss usually exacerbate the condition for such women instead of making things better. In all these, the reaction of the partner matters a lot. If the partner behaves in such a manner to suggest that he is not satisfied sexually by the woman, this definitely makes the situation worse because it validates the original feelings of guilt and failure within the woman. This definitely affects the intimacy patterns of the pair.

  • Painful sex

In some cases, women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and have successfully undergone treatment tend to experience general sexual dysfunction. This is manifested in different ways. For example, some women, as a result of hormonal changes and other psychological factors, tend to experience a decline in the desire for sex. This may be detrimental considering that the feelings of the other partner are most likely to be hurt. Secondly, many women who have suffered from breast cancer may experience painful sex as a result of dryness of the vagina. This makes it practically difficult for them to engage in pleasurable sexual intercourse with their partners, thus putting a strain on their relationships.

Apart from this, breast cancer has been known to result into failure of women to reach orgasm during sex. What usually happens is that such women are worried about their bodies to such an extent that they fail to concentrate on the intercourse. Besides, some women have reported that their breasts become completely insensitive after treatment for breast cancer. The presence of this condition often means that women are not able to fully enjoy themselves during sexual intercourse since the breast is a highly erogenous part of the body of a woman.

breast cancer

Breast cancer has a number of unpleasant consequences on the sexual and intimate lives of women. From poor self image to overall lack of desire for sex, affected women tend to experience a myriad of problems that arise from the direct effects of the disease (or treatment) as well as their own perceptions about themselves. In all these cases, the perception and behavior of the partners play a major role in shaping how women respond to the challenges that they experience. The way a partner behaves may either strengthen the unpleasant effect of breast cancer on the sexual lives of women or diminish them.

Dr. Dalal Akoury has been working with women who have breast cancer for a long time. It is the desire to provide solutions to such women and other patients in general that led her to establish AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Centre in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Since its establishment, the facility has been a leading center for cancer patients across the world. Our approach to treating cancer seeks to combine conventional treatment methods with different alternative therapies. The result of this approach is your full recovery within the shortest time possible.

Opiates And The Risks of Breast Cancer

September 29, 2014

The relationship between opiates and breast cancer has been focused on three important aspects. The first aspect has been what the use of opiates is with regard to cancer in general and breast cancer in particular. The second aspect of this relationship has been whether or not the use of opiates for specific functions with regard to cancer treatment endangers the lives of the patients by contributing to recurrence of cancer long after its successful treatment. The third aspect has been the exact mechanisms by which opiates produce the said effect in the body of patients and what should be done about it. All these aspects are addressed in this article in the sections that follow.

Breast Cancer And The Use Of Opiates

Breast cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer among women in the world. Two reasons for this have been advanced. The first one is that breast cancer is generally associated with estrogen, a special type of hormone responsible for femininity. Since this hormone is predominantly found in women (sometimes in high levels), this makes them completely exposed to possible development of breast cancer. The second one arises from the observed trend of an increasing risk of breast cancer and age among women. There are several underlying reasons for this but the fact remains that with people in general living longer they get exposed to certain health conditions. For women, breast cancer is the common health condition that comes with age.

Opiates have been extensively used in the treatment of cancer as part of modern therapies. The use of opiates is in the form of drugs that are derived from morphine, a common type of plant that represents what opiates are, which is used as an extremely powerful painkiller for cancer patients. The exact mechanism by which opiates (in the form of morphine-based pain killers) works to relieve patients of pain is a complex process. But it suffices to say that the active chemical compound in opiates activates special cells within the nervous system of the patient leading to massive decline in pain sensations. This presents great relief to patients, particularly when one considers the intensity of cancer-induced pain which patients do experience.

Opiates And Breast Cancer: The Danger Of Recurrence

There has been considerable concern about the relationship between opiates and cancer recurrence in patients. The concern has been based on the growing discovery that some patients who, in the course of their treatment for cancer used morphine-derived drugs as pain killers, showed signs of the disease recurring after some time. The argument has been that the opiates that are found in the drugs must be responsible for this observed phenomenon.

There are two important things that should be understood from this. The first one regards the exact use of opiates in cancer patients. In practice, opiates are used as pain killers on patients before other forms of therapy, such as surgery, are used. During such times, the drugs are usually administered in heavy doses as a way of dealing with the equally intense pain.

The second one regards the use of the drugs during times when the disease is still in its early stages of development. There have been a number of studies that have sought to demonstrate the exact effect of opiates on cancer cells. It has been shown, with mixed reactions, that opiates do show anti-cancer properties at times and that they can actually be used to inhibit the rate of growth of cancer cells. Although this is so, the efficacy, extent and possible mechanism by which this occurs remains a subject of research.

What has caught our attention is the increasing proof that indeed using opiates as pain killers in patients of breast cancer may contribute to the cancer occurring again in them later.

Ways of recurrence as a result of opiate use in breast cancer patients

Breast CancerThere are several ways in which use of opiates as pain killers leads to recurrence of breast cancer in patients. Basically, this ability is understood by the role that the compound plays in the processes of metastasis and angiogenesis. These two processes are critical for the growth and development of cancer. Through angiogenesis, cancer cells are able to derive their own supply of blood from the existing circulatory system, thus fueling their own growth. Similarly, through metastasis, cancer cells are able to spread to other parts of the body via the circulatory system.

Opiates have been found to enhance angiogenesis by their effect on the immune system. Naturally, the body produces special hormones that work to prevent possible development of cancer cells. Use of opiates has been found to suppress the production of the hormones, thus weakening the immune system and exposing a patient to possible recurrence of breast cancer long after treatment.

Further, it has been found that opiates encourage cancer cells to spread through the body long after treatment. What usually happens is that a few cancer cells may be circulating in the body after treatment of breast cancer. Opiates do have a direct effect on these cells in the body. It is this effect that may encourage the cells to spread and redevelop into new cancer growth over eth course of time.

Use of opiates as part of the standard therapies used to treat cancer is set to continue. On the other hand, fears about its association with recurrence of breast cancer will linger. What this calls for is careful and judicious use of the right therapies in treating cancer. AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center has been known as a leading centre for cancer treatment and management for a long time. We run a range of highly specialized services in cancer diagnosis, treatment and overall care of patients. Our focus is on using alternative therapies to boost the effectiveness of other methods used in standard therapies. The result of this is your overall recovery and wellness within the shortest time possible.
