Unselective heroin addiction

April 24, 2017

Unselective heroin addiction is one problem that many experts desire to prevent but its accessibility in the streets betrays their effort

Unselective heroin addiction: Finding solutions collectively

Like any other drug, heroin knows no boundary on whom to affect. Everyone is vulnerable and therefore, we must all be on the lookout with the unselective heroin addiction. Heroin is very addictive and upsets everyone regardless of their social standing. If you were to be taken down the history lane of heroin addiction in various societies across the globe, you will be amazed at the strength of heroin for it has brought down both the mighty and fewer advantage members of the society. The current prevalence of heroin abuse was made more visible by the recent overdose death of actor Philip Seymour Hoffman. Even though this is one of the notable cases, drug addiction has been growing steadily across many levels of society for at least the past decade. And unlike the heroin surge in the 1970s, the current use of opiates is far more concentrated among suburban and rural whites than among African-American and Latino communities taking the US as an example.

Unselective nature of heroin addiction: Leading from the front

In Vermont, Gov. Peter Shumlin in January devoted his entire State of the State message to the heroin and opiate addiction crisis engulfing his state. In Massachusetts, law enforcement authorities recently reported that 185 people have died of heroin overdoses in just the past four months which didn’t include numbers from the state’s three largest cities. Nationwide, according to the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), heroin use among persons age 12 and above nearly doubled between 2007 and 2012.

According to the experts at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under the leadership of doctor Dalal Akoury, MD the past perception that heroin was mostly an urban problem is no longer the case. This is because now there are no demographic or geographic areas immune to heroin addiction. As indicated previously, we will be continuing with the story of Felix in our next article but for now, you and I need to join hand together in the fight of drug abuse. We can allow the journey to heroin addiction in colleges, neighborhood or any other place to continue.

Coronary heart problems and diabetes

April 19, 2017

Coronary heart problems and diabetes are not just problems for the elderly

Coronary heart problems and diabetes: The known effects

Diabetes plays a major role in causing coronary heart problems. With this, diabetes patients are more likely to develop coronary heart disease than diabetes-free people. The relationship between diabetes and coronary heart problems is important for all patients. This will enable them to take the most appropriate action in keeping healthy. And just for further illustration, from the various studies, experts have established that established that diabetes causes high levels of glucose in the blood and when this happens, it impacts negatively on the walls of the arteries causing them to develop fatty deposits commonly known as atheroma. If this atheroma is allowed to build up in the coronary arteries (the arteries that supply oxygen-rich blood to your heart) the individual patient affected is likely to develop coronary heart disease which can eventually cause heart attack and angina says doctor Dalal Akoury MD and founder of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center. Now let us try to understand diabetes better in the context of causing coronary heart disease.

Coronary heart problems and diabetes: Types of diabetes

We have two common types of diabetes namely: Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes

Type 1 diabetes happens when the body lacks the capacity to produce insulin. This type common with the children and young adults. Type 2 diabetes occurs when your body can’t produce enough insulin or the insulin doesn’t work properly. Type 2 diabetes is more common and tends to develop gradually as people get older usually after the age of 40. This type of diabetes is closely associated with being overweight, being physically inactive and having a family history of diabetes. Like most people in the south Asia origin and the African, the Caribbean are associated with higher rates of diabetes. Nonetheless, when diabetes is present, the most important thing is how to eliminate it and reduce the risk of other complications that come with it. Therefore you can effectively reduce your risk of developing diabetes by controlling your weight and doing regular physical activity.

The great news is that doing these things will also make you less likely to develop other cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart complications/disease and stroke as well as being great for your general mental and physical well-being. Whenever we mention engagement in physical activities many people do wonder how and whether they will achieve their set objectives. If this describes you then you need not worry for you are not alone. The most important thing to do is to resolve to take the first step of acknowledgment and willingness to lose. When this is done you can now seek for a more professional help from doctor Dalal Akoury MD who will take you through the best and natural weight loses exercises in the most professional way that will leave you much healthier. Remember that by losing weight and being active, you will be succeeding in solving several health complications as already mention.

Brains communication system

April 4, 2017

Brains communication system can be very vulnerable to drug addiction and needs to be free from any substances of abuse

Brains communication system: Addiction chemical alteration to the brains functions

New neural pathways are formed as an addiction develops. This is because addiction chemical alteration to the brain’s communication system takes effect with such intoxications. In other words, when you take drugs away, the brain will revert again to form new neural pathways. Neuroplasticity explains why the initial period of recovery is difficult and uncomfortable. But the good news is that this difficulty is only temporal. Speaking to the experts at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center about addiction chemical alteration, doctor Akoury MD registers that this piece of information is very helpful to especially when attempting recovery. From our previous illustration where a tree fell on the usual pathway and so you needed to navigate to get through, some difficulties could be experiencedd. In the same way, when undertaking the recovery journey in addiction treatment, it can be difficult and uncomfortable while these new neural pathways are forming. As long as the recovering person does not give up during this initial period of discomfort, new neural pathways will form that support recovery. These new pathways will become more established and better developed over time. As they do, recovery becomes easier and more comfortable thereby defeating any addiction chemical alteration to the functions of the brain.

Brains communication system: Effects of addictive substances

Going by the facts mentioned above about the adaptive and the dynamic qualities of our brains to ensure our survival, I want to be persuaded that you are now somewhere as far as keeping your brain healthy. The next point I want to raise on how addiction changes the brain’s communication pathways may be quite unfortunate. Why do I say so, it is because the brain’s ability to be so adaptive is also at the root of addiction. Doctor Akoury says that the brain has the ability to adapt not only to the harmless substances and activities but also to the strong effects of addictive drugs and activities. And when it does, there will be damaging changes happening in the brain regions which are associated with reward including the memory and emotion, decision-making and stress regulations. These changes to our brain make the repeated use of addictive substances or activities very compelling. The good news is that our brains’ neuroplasticity allows us to correct these changes! Therefore, although addiction chemical alteration leads to structural changes in the brain, we are capable of learning new coping skills. The brain’s plasticity allows these new coping skills to be imprinted.

Finally, we will be discussing these structural changes in the next series of articles and we want to urge you not to go away but to stay with us on the link and where possible invite a friend too. In the meantime having such powerful information about the most sensitive organ in your body the brain is very helpful in keeping you healthy. I am saying so because when you know, you will not do things that will cause harm to your health, and if you have already caused an injury, then you can take measures to remedy the situation by scheduling an appointment with doctor Dalal Akoury to professionally take your through the recovery treatment process today.

Cancer transplantation

April 4, 2017

Cancer transplantation. The disease cancer is a scare and those who have been there will tell you that better prevention than cure

Cancer transplantation: Eliminating substance abuse

In case of malignancies, we are using patented methods of treatment with stem cells. These methods have proved their efficacy, and have been approved by the Ministry of Health on April 20, 1999 and have been recommended for use in clinical practice. And according to the experts at AWAREmed health and wellness resource center under doctor Dalal Akoury MD Cancer transplantation of fetal stem cells is possible at all stages of oncological diseases like for instance:

If surgery (tumor removal) cannot be started due to such complications as anemia, weakness, wasting, thrombocytopenia, depression, etc., transplantation of fetal stem cells prior to the tumor removal operation provides for the best preparation of the patient to surgery and best tolerability of the latter; it also accelerates the postoperative wound healing process, minimizes consequences and complications of anesthesia, and reduces the duration of the post-surgery rehabilitation period that allows for more rapid continuation of comprehensive treatment. In patients treated with the method of fetal stem cell transplantation prior to the operation, best tolerability of chemotherapy courses had been observed. Probability of metastatic process development diminishes as a result of increased anti-tumor immunity.

During the course of chemotherapy and radiotherapy (irradiation)

In case of such complications as leukopenia, agranulocytosis, thrombocytopenia, anemia, hepatitis, enteropathy, wasting, depression, alopecia, etc., transplantation of fetal stem cells promotes rapid (5 to 7 days) restoration of peripheral blood parameters after chemotherapy, improvement of the overall condition, and helps prevent complications. Transplantation of fetal stem cells provides an opportunity for carrying out more large-scale and intensive chemotherapy with a minimum risk without violating its timeframe.

Cancer transplantation: After chemotherapy and radiotherapy (irradiation)

Transplantation of fetal stem cells is instrumental in restoring anti-tumor immunity and haemopoesis; it contributes to improvement of patient’s overall condition, decrease in weakness, as well as to improvement of their psycho-emotional status and quality of life.

Cancer transplantation: Post-transplantation effects

Solid experience in cancer treatment allowed us to distinguish two stages in post-transplantation period that are different in time of development and clinical manifestations.

The first stage lasts for about one month and is characterized by emergence of early clinical symptoms that develop within a few hours after transplantation of fetal stem cells. We have described the early post-transplantation improvement syndrome: improvement in overall condition and appetite, decline in body temperature, diminishing weakness and sweating, restoration of self-care ability and increase in performance. This syndrome mostly occurs in patients with symptoms of severe intoxication and is often observed in patients with severe clinical course of the disease.

Also, a syndrome of psycho-functional changes is observed: reduction of somatic depression, improvement of emotional status, cognitive abilities, memory, and conative component.

The second stage of cell effect begins within one to two months after transplantation. It is related to reduced clinical manifestations of the disease and is characterized by stabilization of haemopoesis, improvement of the immunological profile, reduction of inflammatory effects, elevation of Karnovsky index, and improved quality of life.

Finally, doctor Akoury reiterates that stem cell therapy contributes to formation of anti-tumor immunity; that can be used for preventing oncological diseases, as well as avoiding relapse and metastatic process. But even before we get there, most of the cancerous complications are as a result of substance abuse. This means that if we were to deal the prevention of substance abuse, cancer complications will be reduced greatly. Therefore as you consider taking the above treatment course, we also want to encourage you to talk to us about the major cause of cancer (drug addiction) so that we can fight the problem from all angles.
