Sexual Dysfunction Disorder – Substance Abuse

Sexual Dysfunction Disorder brings with it lots of frustrations in relationships. You can get your sex life back by the application of Orgasm Shot® (O-Shot®)

There are certain things we may take for granted and ignore but they will still find there ways back to haunt us. Take for example sex which is a very private thing and is done very privately when it is not satisfying to the engaging partners then its effect will come out in the open to the embracement of the sexual partners. Therefore sexual dysfunction is a condition that affects many men and women in their lifetime. The condition covers a range of sexual problems including erectile dysfunction, premature or delayed ejaculation in men, pain associated with intercourse, low libido and poor response to sexual contact. Drugs and alcohol are known to affect a person’s sexual behavior, ability to function and sensations. Drugs and alcohol are often taken as a way to hide psychological or emotional problems or to ignore physical difficulties that are contributing to sexual dysfunction. There are four main classifications of sexual dysfunction disorders in which doctor Akoury can be of great help to you to restore your sexual fulfillment and also to recover from all kinds of addiction, the classifications include:

Sexual desire
Sexual arousal
Orgasm
Sexual pain disorders

It is important to note that each of these categories has distinct symptoms, yet all are negatively contributed to by drugs and alcohol. Some drugs have been found to make sexual problems worse, others are milder. Regardless of the way you look at it, sexual problems can cause major relationship and psychological problems if not addressed. To avoid instances where your hard earn relationship is being ruined by conditions which can be easily corrected, I will recommend that you call for help from the experts and doctor Dalal Akoury who is not only an expert in a matters addiction but also very much knowledgeable in sex and many other discipline will be able to professionally bring lasting remedies to you condition.

Sexual Desire Disorders

Sexual desire disorders are more commonly referred to as a loss or decrease in libido. The influential enemies of this condition may include substances, fatigue, depression or anxiety. Some medications like anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications are known to cause a loss of libido. Alcohol and other substances can also negatively impact on a persons’ libido. Fatigue associated with an alcohol or drug binge may also affect a person’s desire to have sex.

Chronic, long term marijuana use is a serious contributor to loss of libido and more so in women. This lack of sex drive is a symptom of bigger motivational issues that many people suffer when using this drug. For the most part, a persons’ sex drive will return to normal with discontinuation of using marijuana.

Sexual Arousal Disorder

Alcohol consumption is the enemy number one when it comes to one’s ability to be aroused and maintain that arousal because it greatly affects the brain which is a key component to sexual satisfaction. Sexual arousal disorder is therefore that condition which is associated with getting erection and maintaining it and for women it is all about being able to maintain arousal all through the sexual intercourse. Besides alcohol, cocaine and other stimulants can also cause people to experience difficulties in becoming aroused or maintaining that desired level of arousal during in intercourse.

Orgasm Disorder

Men and women often find they have trouble attaining the desired orgasm or climax especially when under the influence of alcohol other substances. It is worth noting that women are very sensitive to the effect that drugs can have on their ability to orgasm and men can have premature or delayed ejaculation as a result of being high or drunk. Most orgasm disorders, or anorgasmia, are the result of undiagnosed or untreated psychological issues that a person is suffering. Chronic fatigue and insomnia can also affect a persons’ ability to achieve a normal level of orgasm. Opiate addiction is known to cause anorgasmia.

Anorgasmia can cause significant personal and relationship problems. Frustration arising from an inability to orgasm despite stimulation and arousal can cause irreversible relationship breakdowns, especially in the case of men. For women the disorder is more common and can lead to unhappiness, depression and feelings of inadequacy. All these complications are very serious and needs an urgent remedy which can only be realized in the care of experts. For instance a visit to AWAREmed Health and Resource Center a facility established by doctor Dalal Akoury is one of the best places you can have your disturbing condition professionally addressed. calling on doctor Akoury will be the starting point and she will handle your problem with great level of confidentiality while offering both Orgasm Shot® (O-Shot®) and Priapus Shot ® in the most painless way to rain-state your sexual life, she will also work on your addiction problem in the most natural way purposely to attain full recovery and by the time she is done with all these conditions you will not only have our sex life back but you whole life in a relaxed and sober state of mind.

Sexual Pain Disorder

Sexual pain disorders are almost exclusively a female-only condition. This disorder causes a woman to feel immense pain and discomfort during intercourse and sexual interactions. There are two main types of this disorder, dyspareunia or painful intercourse and vaginismus which is an involuntary spasm of the vaginal muscles. This condition is believed to be caused by psychological concerns, especially anxiety about sex or being the victim of sexual assault or trauma.

When to see a doctor

If you have an ongoing sexual difficulties like what we have discussed above it will be important that make an appointment with your doctor. It may feel embarrassing to talk about sex with your doctor, but this topic is impeccably suitable. A satisfying sex life is important to a woman’s well-being at every age and stage of life and this is what will be waiting for you at AWAREmed Health and Resource Center under the able leadership of doctor Dalal Akoury. Your part is only to call and book for an appointment with the expert, remember that doctor Akoury will be very flexible to your time schedule and so how busy you’re will not cause any delay because your time will be the best time for commencement of great sex life a head.

Vitamin C and K3 in Cancer Treatment

August 19, 2014

Research Shows That Vitamin C and K3 Are Effective In Fighting Cancer

Cancer has put doctors on ‘motion’ never resting always trying to come up with better ways of cancer treatment. Maybe the more alternatives the better the treatment! Integrative cancer doctors have had much more alternatives to cancer treatments and some alternatives are added every now and then and this situation is not about to end as doctors are still working day and night to give us the best cancer treatment alternatives. The availability of many cancer treatment alternatives therefore requires that every cancer patient should know the kind of treatment that suits his case but of course with help from an integrative cancer doctor. There are naturopathic cancer treatments that have gained recognition for their whole person healing intent and while chemotherapy has been negatively thought of by many patients some improvements have been done to improve the effectiveness of chemotherapy by improving drug uptake by the cancerous cells while reducing chemotherapy drug resistance by the cancer cells which is normally a problem. With these improvements like the use of IPT among others, even the patients are not afraid of it anymore as the side effects are minimal. Some of the cancer treatment alternatives that we have today include the use of vitamin C and vitamin k3 in cancer treatment.

Vitamin C in treating cancer? I know it might be a problem to accept that vitamin C can be used in cancer treatment because you might have been told never to use vitamin C while undergoing chemotherapy. This is because vitamin C is an antioxidant which to many cancer doctors is supposed to interfere with chemotherapy treatment but what most doctors have not known is that vitamin C when used in high doses and given intravenously can be very helpful in cancer treatment as it becomes a pro-oxidant which leads to cancer cell death.

There are studies that have supported the use vitamin c in high doses and given intravenously in cancer treatment. In two Scottish studies, terminal cancer patients given intravenous vitamin C at 10 g per day showed longer survival times than historical controls. Apparently this is not the only study that has been done on vitamin C and its ability to kill cancerous cell. Another study; A Japanese study showed similar results and this are very encouraging. However at mayo clinic a double blinded study of the same using oral vitamin C supplementation did not show any benefit in fighting cancer.

Researchers have shown that oral vitamin C supplementation cannot work well in fighting cancer as it doesn’t produce plasma ascorbate levels that are sufficient enough to kill tumor cells directly. This is the reason why doctors recommend the use of vitamin C intravenously.

When vitamin C is given intravenously, they turn into hydrogen peroxide inside the cancerous cells which then causes the cells to die by poisoning them. This does not affect the healthy body cells negatively since unlike the cancerous cells the healthy body cells have the ability to fight the damage that is caused by the hydrogen peroxide. This allows for selective killing of the cancerous cells while the healthy body cells are left without harm.

Currently there is an ongoing study of Vitamin C by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as an adjunctive therapy for cancer. In their 2008 report, the National Institutes of Health stated that the vitamin C when used in high doses reduced the rate of tumor growth by 50 percent in mice that were infected with brain cancer, ovarian cancer and pancreatic cancer. The researchers revealed that Vitamin C got its high anticancer effect from its ability to produce hydrogen peroxide inside the cancer cells killing them outright. Even in this experiment the healthy body cells were not affected by the poisonous effect of the vitamin C.

Vitamin C More effective when Combined with Vitamin K3 in Cancer

Researchers have proved that the cell killing abilities of sodium ascorbate or other vitamin C and combination of 2-methyl-1, 4-naphthoquinone K3 is highly increased. These have been tested on human ovarian cancer, breast cancer, endometrial cancer and skin cancer cells. These vitamins can work even when given separately. When given separately they have an antigrowth effect on the tumors but must be highly concentrated. When both the vitamins were used as a single mixture, they demonstrated a synergistic inhibition of cell growth by up to 10 – 50 times in lower concentrations. The best part of this combination is that it does not affect the healthy body cells at all. The researchers also observed that when vitamin C and Vitamin K3 inhibited metastasis.

The mechanism by which vitamin C and vitamin K3 work in killing cancer is called autoschizic cell death. This is a novel type of cell death characterized by exaggerated cell membrane damage and progressive loss of cell contents. A process during which the nucleus becomes smaller, cell size decreases one-half to one-third of its original size. Co-administration of sodium ascorbate and K3 induces a cell cycle block on cancer cells making it harder for them to grow and divide. This is called a G1/S block. The intravenous vitamin cocktail containing sodium ascorbate and vitamin K3 diminishes cancer cell DNA synthesis, increases hydrogen peroxide production, and decreases cancer cell intracellular antioxidant defenses thereby killing them easily.

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.

Fatty Acid and Prostate Cancer

August 19, 2014

Research Shows That Fatty Acids May Increase Prostate Cancer Risk

Fatty acid Cancer is a disease that has continued to terrorize the human race hence poising lots of challenges to the world oncologists who are trying to curb this disease that has depopulated the world greatly. The disease is not only expensive to treat but also causes lots of pain to its victims. In fact the word cancer is synonymous to pain. Pollution in our environments has exposed us to a greater risk of getting cancer. The foods we eat also play an important role in cancer. Whatever you eat can either help you stay cancer free or will put you at a greater risk of getting this disease. Nutritionists have been involved in cancer treatments and very many researchers have done lots of work in the past to come up with those dietary components that should be avoided at all cost and those that should be used by cancer patients as well as any other healthy person who is interested in keeping away from the disease. The research that has been done in the past has led to introduction of cancer treatment alternatives that are solely based on diet. Some of the naturopathic treatments involve use of dietary manipulations to interfere with the growth of cancer cells as well as boost immunity an example of diet based treatments is the Gerson’s Therapy. The Gerson’s therapy involves the use of fruits and vegetable soups which are good in improving the body’s immunity as well as fighting free radicals that are known to cause cancer.

Typically, doctors would recommend the use whole foods as they are rich in fiber which is a vital meal component as it helps in excretion of toxic compounds out of the body of the patient. As opposed to commercially grown foods that are mostly genetically modified for faster growth rates, the natural unprocessed whole foods are free from harmful chemicals that may increase our risk of getting cancer. It is therefore advisable to eat foods that are not toxic and will help in fighting cancer.

However there are some dietary components that should be avoided at all cost as they increase your chances of getting cancer. Researchers have linked fatty acids to higher cancer risks and it is therefore safer to avoid foods rich in fatty acids especially the plasma phospholipid fatty acid which is a major culprit.

Study shows Fatty acids increases risks

In a study that was carried out in the US for over 7 years investigating the effects of selenium, vitamin E and a combination of both selenium and vitamin E on patients suffering from prostate cancer, it was found that the unlike selenium which did not invoke any incidence of cancer when supplement there were increased prostate cancer cases in patients that were given vitamin E by up to 17 percent as compared to a group that were on placebo. This study involved three groups of men. Those who had cancer at different stages; those who had high grade cancer, those who had low grade cancer as well as those who had no cancer at all. This study investigated the impacts of increased levels of omega 3 fatty acids on prostate cancer. The findings of this study showed that increased levels of fatty acids in the blood especially docosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic (DHA) acids increased the risk to prostate cancer.

The study therefore finalized that eating marine omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids will increase a person’s risk to prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer is a leading killer of men especially in developed countries and just like other cancers it is also influenced by both environmental as well as behavioral changes. Factors such as family cancer history, age, obesity, chronic inflammation, tobacco smoking and even sexual behaviors come to play but most importantly are nutrition. It is therefore advisable that we should limit the amount of meat we consume but increase our meat and vegetable consumption in order to reduce cancer risk. It is also important to reduce the level of cytokinins in case of obesity. Cytokinins have been linked to different types of cancers and so the lower the levels of cytokinins the better.

It has also been proved that the high content of omega 6 and omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in the western countries diets has increased the cases of prostate cancer. The omega 6 polyunsaturated fatty acids are highly attributed to prostate cancer risks unlike the omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids that has been shown to have anti-proliferative effects on tumor cells which may function well in cancer prevention alongside other metabolic processes.

It is also good to note that other researches that were done on the relationship of high levels of omega 3 fatty acids and prostate cancer yielded different results. In one study it was found that eating fish rich in omega 3 fatty acids has favorable effects in fighting cancer while another study showed that it had no effect on cancer. Researchers are still working to find the consistent relations between the levels of omega 3 fatty acids and prostate cancer. Omega 3 however is associated with food adducts which may increase incidences of prostate cancer. It is also said that fish may have disruptors, such as bisphenols or traces of pesticides which are known causes of hormonal based cancers like prostate cancer.

Vampire Facelift® Who is the Nominees for a Vampire Facelift®

August 18, 2014

Nominees for Vampire Facelift® – The Actual Evaluation

It is important to ascertain the nominees for Vampire Facelift® since those using other substances may not achieve the best result in relation to those not using substances

Vampire Facelift® is not for everyone. People with more advanced signs of aging may benefit from surgical treatment or Botox applications. People with less visible signs of aging may benefit from using less extensive non-surgical procedures like hyaluronic acid fillers and platelet-rich plasma alone. A personal consultation with an accredited provider like Dr. Dalal Akoury is the best way to determine if The Vampire Facelift® is right for you.

Vampire Facelift® on Smokers

Cigarette smoke interferes with the body’s growth factors and with tissue healing and regeneration. If you do smoke (open the smoking section for more on addiction), The Vampire Facelift® will not produce the same results in relation to a non-smoker. It is therefore advisable that smokers may be better off with hyaluronic acid filler application like Restylane or Juvederm rather than using platelet-rich fibrin matrix.

Vampire Facelift® can be combined with Other Procedures

The Vampire Facelift® can be done in conjunction with wrinkle treatments such as Botox or Dysport. Call on Dr. Dalal Akoury who is an experience expert in this discipline to help you determine what complementary procedures are right for your individual case, and with her advice you can develop a plan you will comfortable with.

Does this have anything to do with stem cells?

The growth factors activate your own adult stem cells in and under the skin. This stem cell activity results in:

Skin quality improvement
Improved Blood Flow and Blood Supply
New Collagen
New Tissue

How is the procedure done?

The key ingredient for the Vampire Facelift® is platelet-rich fibrin matrix, which is derived from the patient’s own blood before being mixed with other factors.

These properties enable platelet-rich fibrin matrix as an ideal natural serum for rejuvenating facial skin quality, with increased collagen production, blood supply, and new skin and fatty tissue generation; creating the youthful appearance that comes with generating new, healthier skin.

A small amount of blood is collected from the patient’s arm
The platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is detached or separated by spinning the patient’s blood through a centrifuge.
The PRP is combined with a filler to create the longer lasting platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM).
A topical cream is applied on the patient face for numbness
After 30 minutes the gel is injected in different areas of the face.

How do you get my blood?

This is done in the same way a normal blood test blood sample would be taken by a medical staff. The blood is processed so the platelets (cells which stimulate collagen for healing) are separated from the red blood cells and the detached material is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and how soon after the Vampire Facelift® procedure can one go back to work? This procedure has been nick named a “lunchtime lift” because recovery is typically minimal meaning that you can expect some redness and minimal bruising.

How long does the Vampire Facelift® last?

The renewal effect of the procedure continues for the first few months and depending on the individual’s response, the effects can last for over a year. Dr. Akoury can help with follow up visits at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center to evaluate your results and customize your plan.

Difference between a Vampire Facelift® and a facelift

Many people go for the Vampire Facelift® because it’s a non-surgical procedure. The term “facelift” when used in the context of the “Vampire Facelift®” describes how volume placed artistically under the skin can “lift” the skin away from the bony structure creating a more youthful appearance and as age catches with you, the fat under the skin decreases making the person look more hollow whereas facelift is a surgical procedure to reposition sagging cheeks and skin to improve the face, jawline and neck. Majority are hesitant to have surgery because of the risks of anesthesia and the healing process.

Vampire Facelift® or Vampire Facial®

In contrast to the Vampire Facelift®, the Vampire Facial® does not use any filler. The purpose of the Vampire Facial® is to enhance the benefits of micro needling with a device such as the Dermapen by applying PRP (platelet-rich plasma) during and after the micro needling process.

Dr. Akoury customizes the depth and the rate at which the micro needling is done in order to get the most benefit from the treatment for each patient making her the most sort for professional to carry out this exercise, you can therefore join the list of people who have been satisfactorily treated by this able and highly experienced expert by calling to book for an appointment today.

Vampire Facelift® or Synthetic Fillers

Unlike other injectable such as Artefill, the Vampire Facelift® is natural because it uses the patient’s own healing and growth factors collected from their own blood to revitalize the face along with hyaluronic acid filler.

There is a well-documented synergistic benefit from the use of hyaluronic acid filler with platelet-rich plasma in wound healing. Synthetic fillers alone have not shown this benefit and have other risks which make hyaluronic acid the preferred filler for the Vampire Facelift®. Botox is different than dermal fillers as it’s a neurotoxin which decreases muscle activity by affecting nerves which stimulate a particular muscle.

Is the Vampire Facelift® considered a “liquid facelift?”

The term “liquid facelift” was used to describe the use of several different types of injectable to enhance a person’s appearance. This means that the Vampire Facelift® is a type of “liquid facelift”.

Various type of fillers can be used to get some of the effect of a facelift, from Botox to using your own fat (referred to as fat transfer or fat grafting). Depending on your personal situation, a liquid facelift might be a better option than a facelift, which can still be considered in the future.

How much does the Vampire Facelift® cost?

The liquid facelift cost is dependent on Dr. Akoury’s evaluation of your needs. It’s important that you have a proper evaluation to determine if you are a candidate. Some patients also combine The Vampire Facelift® with other facial procedures. The cost will also vary if you prefer a facial instead this you can discuss with doctor Dalal Akoury on call after proper evaluation is done.

The benefit of the Vampire Facelift® continues over time after the procedure as the growth factors in the blood stimulate the body to create collagen and new blood vessels that result in enhancing facial skin. Dr. Akoury is a renowned practitioner of the Vampire Facelift®.Schedule your consultation with Dr. Akoury today for your treatment to commence timely.

Mitosis Inhibitors

August 18, 2014

Use of Mitosis inhibitors in cancer treatment

Mitosis Medical researchers have done lots of research in the past and still there is lots of research going on in the field of oncology. All these researches that are going on are geared towards giving us the best cancer treatments that will enable us to get better treatment at affordable cost and at reduced risk of the life threatening side effects that most conventional cancer therapies are known for. The work of these researchers is evident in the many cancer alternatives that are now available. Integrative oncologists have made use of both conventional as well naturopathic cancer therapies in treating cancer but there has never been a stop to research on oncology as the doctors are still in pursuit of the ideal cancer therapy. There are known metabolic adaptations of the cancer cell that has led to development of these therapies that are geared towards inhibiting cancer cell survival as well as spreading. One of the ways of fighting cancer is by use of mitosis inhibitors.

For cancer cells to spread there are processes that must be accomplished. Before certain processes are accomplished, the cancer cells cannot spread to other body parts making it easier to fight them. For example there must be angiogenesis for cancer cell metastasis. This has availed an avenue that doctors have used to fight metastasis. Mitosis is also another crucial process in cancer cell survival and spreading. Mitosis inhibitors are therefore effective in cancer treatment.

Noscapine as mitosis inhibitor

Noscapine is a compound found in plants of the poppy family. This compound has medicinal properties but unlike morphine it does not kill pain neither is it addictive. In the past noscapine had been used infighting coughs and is an ingredient in most cough drugs sold over the counter. Currently researchers have discovered that noscapine is also good in fighting cancer.

Mitosis is a process by which body cells duplicates themselves giving rise to genetically identical cells daughter cells. Mitosis encourages the cancerous cells to divide uncontrollably giving rise to many cancer cells that spread throughout the body making it hard to fight cancer. Mitosis occurs through spindle formation. During spindle formation, spindles pull chromosomes to the opposite sides of the cell in preparation for the cell division. Without spindle formation the survival of the daughter cells is not possible as they are separated without getting the appropriate genetic composition from the parent cell. Noscapine inhibits spindle formation therefore making it hard for the newly divided cancer cells to survive hence it affects mitosis which in turn helps in fighting cancer.

Researchers have also discovered that this compound does not only help in cancer treatment by inhibiting spindle formation. Research has shown that this compound has very powerful anticancer ability. Noscapine is said to contain strong cell killing properties that enables it to kill tumor cells before they duplicate and metastasize.

Noscapine is also very effective as an anti-angiogenesis. Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels. Cancer cannot spread without angiogenesis as it is through angiogenesis that that the tumors get fed. Supplies like nutrients pass through these new blood vessels to reach the tumors and so if angiogenesis cannot happen then the growth and spread of the tumors will be inhibited and the tumor cells will be starved. It does this by inhibiting HIF-1 alpha which supports the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Vascular endothelial is known to stimulate the growth of new blood vessels.

Noscapine also helps in fighting cancer by inhibiting bradikinin which is a very powerful cancer growth factor. Oncologists have learnt that any drug that can inhibit bradikinin can be very essential in cancer treatment just as chemotherapy. In fact majority of research findings point out those agents that inhibit bradikinin are better at reducing cancer cell growth than even chemotherapy.

Noscapine has very strong anticancer abilities a fact that has led to it being used by many oncologists in their clinics to treat cancer. Noscapine has been found to be exceptionally effective in treating most type of cancers like breast, prostate, lung, ovarian, brain, and lymphomas. Though it is known to many as just a cough suppressant, it can be very effective in cancer treatment.

A research study done in 2010 Current Drug Targets proved that noscapine is not only good as anti-mitosis but was also very effective as it made the cancer cells more vulnerable to chemotherapy. Researchers have opined that cancer patients on chemotherapy can benefit from the use of noscapine to increase the cell killing ability of the chemotherapy treatment.

This research supports the use of noscapine in cancer treatment citing its effectiveness. The medical research finding availed information that supports Noscapine as an effective anti-cancer agent. The study findings stated that Noscapine was the most effective anticancer after it was discovered that it induces cancer cell apoptosis. The experiment used Mg-63 tumor cells which are a common type of bone tumor.

Mitosis Dr. Israel Barken from San Diego is one of the doctors who have come out openly to be using the noscapine in treating cancer. However he has been using it to treat his prostate cancer patients alone. He availed information on his website that proved that Noscapine reduced prostate cancer in mice greatly.
