Role of the gastrointestinal tract in detoxification elimination

June 28, 2014

Detoxification Is A Great Procedure For Elimination

Chemicals From Our Bodies

detoxificationThere’s no doubt that the gastrointestinal tract is a powerful tool in the absorption of nutrients. The stomach and the intestines, in particular, are the workhorses of the digestive team. However, the gastrointestinal tract can also go a long way in helping detoxify the human body of any illnesses it may be struggling with.

The Issue

The human body is exposed to a wide range of xenobiotics and xenoestrogens, which are toxins that are regularly introduced to the human body. Some are by choice – the artificial sweeteners that go into most sodas and many other products are a recent example – but some are not. Since toxins are regularly introduced to the body, it’s important to ensure that some time is spent on a regular basis detoxifying the body of the poisons it’s been introduced to. Detoxification and elimination of toxins does not have to be a complicated process, however; it’s important to realize it’s a fairly simple process that can go a long way to helping you take back your life.

If you are experiencing any one or more of the following problems, you might need to consider detoxification and elimination as a way to regain your health:

  • Fatigue
  • Excessive sinus problems
  • Headaches
  • Gastrointestinal disorders
  • Sleep problems
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Eczema
  • Canker sores
  • Acne
  • Puffy, dark circles under your eyes

So, how much is too much, then? Because toxins in our world are so pervasive, does it mean that, in reality, we are all toxic?

Truth be told, this is a legitimate concern, but there’s also a matter of degrees at play here as well. There’s also the matter of everyone being ever-so-slightly biochemically different. If our biochemistry wasn’t slightly different from person to person, we would all likely get sick at the same time, at the very least. In fact, it is in part because everyone is biochemically different that toxins can affect people in different ways. This can be to the extent that if two people are exposed to the same bad substance, one person may feel completely unaffected by the exposure while the other could be laid up in bed for months.

In fact, there are several diseases linked to toxicity, such as Parkinson’s, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, dementia, and heart disease. Just from such a simplified list alone, you can quickly get an idea that toxicity is a serious issue for all individuals, regardless of the extent to which you might be deemed “toxic”. It’s obviously a good idea to go through a detoxification and elimination process occasionally in order to keep your digestive tract running as smoothly as possible. Getting rid of the toxins will go a long way to allowing your body to absorb nutrients more effectively, thereby making you healthier.

Detoxification

The Detoxification Process

Your gut, of course, is one of the chief loading zones for toxicity. Given ingestion is one of the biggest ways in which we absorb any substance that comes into contact with our bodies, it comes as little surprise that we have a load of toxins sitting in our gut. As a result, we need to clear out those toxins to ensure optimal absorption of the nutrients we need to be healthy.

There are several steps we can take to detoxify our guts:

  1. Drink lots of water

Water is nature’s cleanser, and as such, it becomes a critical component in the detoxification and elimination process. As water hits our stomachs, it helps to dilute the toxins – say, artificial sweeteners from our coffee. The water will eventually make its way throughout our bodies and pull some of the toxins with it. The toxins will then, in part, get eliminated from our bodies via urine or excrement.

Many of us are perpetually dehydrated. This is because instead of drinking nature’s solvent – water – we continue to drink toxic sodas with artificial sweeteners, coffee, or alcohol. This means that we are only ensuring these toxins stay in our systems. Drinking more water – and the more filtered, the better – helps these toxins move through our digestive tract throughout the detoxification process and ultimately get eliminated by our systems.

  1. Keep things moving

If you find that you are regularly constipated, it could mean you have a build up of toxins in your system that are impairing your absorption of material that is good for your system. Improve your intestinal functioning by integrating flax seeds, acidophilus or magnesium capsules into your diet. Any one of these substances can go a long way towards allowing your gut to improve its absorption of nutrients, though if you have any sort of chronic disease, you should discuss taking these supplements with your doctor prior to starting them.

  1. Eat organic foods

Many foods that are not deemed to be organic are inundated with a wide range of pesticides and chemicals to improve their shelf life. This means that there are also a good many extra chemicals introduced into our systems; whether we eat processed cheese instead of fresh, or “unorganic” apples, we are introducing a wide range of unhealthy chemicals into our systems. Because our digestive tract absorbs many of these chemicals, we are, in effect, making ourselves unhealthier.

Eating a steady diet of certified organic foods and drinking lots of water can go a long way towards making our guts healthier and restoring balance. In fact, eating organic foods eliminates these toxins from our diets, which means if we drink greater amounts of water, we help flush these toxins out of our systems. In flushing these toxins out, our digestive tract becomes more efficient and helps decrease our chances of getting one of a myriad number of diseases.

And Finally…

 There are several different ways of helping our digestive tracts restore balance and eliminate toxins from our bodies. One of the best ways is by drinking water. Making an effort to eat organic and taking supplements that can promote digestion will go a long way towards improving the health of our digestive tracts and ensuring that we absorb the nutrients that are essential to the optimum functioning of our bodies.

Gerson’s Therapy and Cancer Treatment

June 28, 2014

Gerson’s Therapy as an Alternative Cancer Treatment

Gerson's therapyMost cancer treatments are known for quite severe side effects on the patients. Known treatment like chemotherapy and radiation therapy not only kill the cancerous cells I the cancer patient but also kill the healthy cells. This will lead to the patient’s getting more deteriorated as time goes by and may eventually lead to loss of weight, skin becoming darker and even hair loss. Pain associated with these methods of treatments cannot be underestimated. For all these reasons the cancer patients have been seeking alternative treatment to the disease and Gerson’s is one of the alternatives that the patients are trying their hands on.

The origin of the Gerson’s therapy can be traced back to 1920s. It was named after the man who created it, Dr. Max Gerson with his main focus on cancer. This diet is also known as cancer diet.

The Gerson’s therapy is a natural approach to treatment of ailments. The therapy is based on organic diet that is mainly composed of vegetables and vegetable juices. The diet helps the body to recover by activating the body’s natural healing abilities. Gerson’s program also features coffee enemas plus other natural supplements that are geared towards helping the body to heal itself. It also helps in boosting immune system and is helpful in fighting diseases like cancer allergies, arthritis and diabetes among others. The Gerson’s therapy does not only treat the symptoms of the disease but removes all the toxic substances entirely from the body. It cures directly from the cell level and that means that it uproots the disease causing agents from their roots destroying them completely.

The Gerson’s steps follows a given procedure work effectively in treating patients. It contains organic foods that are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and other nutritional components. These are foods that nourish, build stronger immunity system as well as detoxify the body. These are the steps involved in Gerson’s therapy.

Steps followed in Gerson’s Therapy

Through detoxification the disease causing carcinogens or better yet free radicals that may result in abnormal bodily function among other foreign bodies. All these toxins enter our bodies through our daily interactions with the environment. The air we breathe is polluted, the water we use is also polluted and if recent researches are to go by even the communication devices we use put us at risk of getting cancer. In Gerson’s therapy detoxification is done with coffee enemas. A patient will have to consume at least thirteen glasses of fresh vegetable and fruit juices every day. The diet also involves eating of semi-cooked vegetables.  This will ensure that cell oxygenation take place, When cells are oxygenated that cells that gets degenerated as a result of lack of oxygen in the cells becomes reduced.

Gerson's therapy

The foods featured in the Gerson’s diet are rich in potassium and iodine which helps in enhancing the rate of metabolism. A high rate of metabolism helps in the breakdown of excess fats, proteins to release energy. They will also help in excreting toxin and sodium out of the patient’s body

After getting rid of the toxins out of the patient’s body, the next step is to nourish the body filling it with the needed nutrients and natural organic foods and enzymes. Vegetables and fruits form a better part of this diet. Fruit and vegetable juices are still used in this process of nourishing the body.

The foods are abundant in healthy nutrients and oxygen that will help in cell and tissues regeneration hence restores the patient’s health.

  • Using natural Supplements

After detoxification and supplying the body with nutrients from the daily fruit and vegetable juices among other featured foods in the diet, the body will need to be supplemented with natural nutrients that were not gotten in the previous steps. Iodine and potassium are vital in fighting cancer and so should be supplemented. Even as you will be supplementing your body with these nutrients, it is good to maintain the vegetable and fruit diet as they will maintain the vegetable and fruit juice. You can consult on other fruits that will help you recover and improve your health.

For effective use of the Gerson’s therapy in treating cancer, the patient will have to maintain the diet for about three months. During this time the body is said to be undergoing ‘repair’ and getting regenerated. After this period the patient will be needed to eat foods that are low in fat, low in sugar and low in salts. The patient however will be needed to eat foods that are high in potassium, iodine and vegetable protein. Even after the three months of following the strict diet, you will still have to maintain a diet full of fruits and vegetables as fruits and vegetables work better in cancer treatments.

The patient should avoid processed foods as they are not whole in nutritional content. Instead he should eat organic and fresh vegetables and fruits. He should also avoid smoking and alcohol consumption. Instead of alcohol, anybody who is willing to fight cancer should use coffee enemas as they reduce the toxins in the blood serum, ensuring a healthy body.

The advantages of using the Gerson’s therapy are that:

  • It uses natural healing ability of the body to treat cancer. It is also not as expensive as other cancer treatment methods.
  • It is also free from adverse effects that patients who undergo chemotherapy and radiation therapy have to go through.
  • It strengthens the body immune system and balances hormones
  • It enhances the rate of metabolism hence helpful in getting rid of fats and animal proteins
  • It heals the focuses on complete healing of the disease unlike other cancer treatments that only deal with the symptoms

However, major disadvantages of using the Gerson’s therapy are that:

  • You will have to consume more enemas in a day.
  • It is also a very strict diet that many people will not find easy to follow up to the recommended time.
  • There is also no scientific proof that the Gerson’s therapy helps in cancer treatment.

Finally…

Though there is no research that had been done to prove the effectiveness of the Gerson’s therapy in cancer treatment, many people have confessed that they are doing much better ever since they adopted the program. The healing power of vegetables and fruits can never be underestimated. Dr. Dalal Akoury (MD) has profound knowledge on this topic and can offer you a good advice on how to easily adopt the program. Frequently check this website for most current updates on cancer treatment. Generally, this approach to cancer treatment is worth a try.

Obesity Epidemic

Obesity Epidemic-Modern Sitting Furniture

obesity

We are using seats everywhere we are without knowing that some of these seat are the source of our health problems like obesity and weight gain

Did you know that the comfort of your living room, office, eateries and the like could be the reason why you can’t have proper control of your weight? Thanks to modernity we can today afford to live a life full of comforts around us. Take for example the kind of seats you use in your house, office, hotels, in your car, buses, planes and locomotives if the pocket allows you would go for the very best that would offer you the maximum comfort. This is the problem begins and for the purpose of this article we will be discussing the possible effects of our desired seat comfort and the endless problem of weight gain and obesity so stay tuned and let us learn together. If you were to carry out a simple research today beginning with your own family you would probably if not definitely find that the seats in our homes and offices are very comfortable, soft and nice looking to sit on, it may be very difficult if not impossible to find firm wooden seats being used in our families today. What we may not know is that these comfortable seats as we call them are a great threat to good health, they are associated with the problem of weight gain and obesity and we all know the problems those suffering from obesity or weight gain goes through. Tracing the kind of life our ancestors lived in relation to today’s life style weight gain was never a problem as matter of facts there was under weight. They were using firm wooden furniture without the arm’s length and back rest which the day’s generation considers uncomfortable, what amazes me is that there was no weight related problem and less incidences of certain types of diseases that to an epidemical proportion affects the industrialized world today.

Obesity Epidemic-The traditional seats

It must be noted that sitting for a significant amount of time on modern sitting furniture result in adverse musculoskeletal changes and studies have found that adverse musculoskeletal changes cause excessive weight gain. I talked of our ancestors but bring it nearer to just a few decades ago and quite recently, even in the western industrialized world, sitting furniture consisted mainly of chairs or benches with a solid seat surface. I strong believe that we are in agreement that just a few decades ago, upholstered sitting furniture’s like the arm chair, sofa and couch were uncommon office furniture let alone household furniture’s. In most societies in the developing world the kinds of furniture used consisted of very simple seats with three leg or four legs without the back or arm rest. These industrious seats like the sofa, couch, armchair, rocking chair or even the chairs fitted with backrest were a luxury that could only be associated with a small population of the rich who could afford them. The true picture is that the majority of the world’s populations were using chairs with a wooden seat and wooden benches, and in the last few decades huge changes have happened.

Obesity Epidemic-Upholstered furniture

Not so long ago, even in the industrialized world, the upholstered furniture was affordable only to rich people. Nowadays, due to the advancement in technology, production and economic prosperity, it is available to a great percentage of the world’s population because of the drastic reduction of their cost. The economic prosperity has come with great changes and diversifications of how we live. We have replaced the traditional sitting furniture with modern ones consisting of chairs with an upholstered seat surface, like sofa, arm chair, couch, etc. if you were to interrogate technology of producing today’s upholstered sitting furniture is vastly different from the manufacturing technology that was used just a few decades ago. As a matter of fact lot long ago all upholstered sitting furniture were made using spring systems. The expensive sitting furniture was made using eight-way hand-tied springs that offer a firmer seat and a sitting position. The less expensive sitting furniture was made using sinuous springs that offers a softer seat. The current technology has tactfully eliminated the use of eight way hand tied spring and sinuous springs in a bid to cut on cost and has resorted in the cheap method of stuffing or padding with soft fuelling, mostly using polyurethane foam which are less costly. Even though a few furniture are still being made using springs these are very expensive and a preserved of the very rich leaving the majority with the upholstery of the cheap sitting furniture consists of high density polyurethane foams wrapped in fabrics that provides far softer seats compared with the sitting furniture that is made by using the spring system. The element of cost has drastically revolutionized the quality of seats in that it is less and less common for chairs to have a firm surface of the seat and most chairs have a soft upholstered seat. This revolution has not only replaced the old sitting furniture with the less costly version of modern sitting furniture’s in households, but also in public places like schools, universities, restaurants etc. chairs with a firm seat surface are replaced with the less costly version of sitting furniture that have a soft upholstered seat. This has really increased the current generation vulnerability to weight gain and obesity and all other complications associated with the two. Obesity Epidemic-Overweight and Obesity Funnily enough the changes that have taken place in the life style and food is not too much in relation to the ones that took place in the sitting furniture revolution. Let’s us get a bit of insight of this aspect even as we try to understand the implications of weight gain and obesity in the whole process. Just not long ago (a few decades) the greater population of people suffering from overweight and obesity came from the bracket of the rich and wealthy people while it is the rich who could afford the upholstered sitting furniture. Nonetheless obesity was rare and morbid obesity was inexistent the reason for this being, the seats of the upholstered sitting furniture were far less soft compared to today’s cheap version of upholstered sitting furniture. What a contrast that:

  • Today the expensive upholstered furniture is made by using the same technology that was used a few decades ago.
  • Today the prevalence of obesity among the poor population is not much different than what was the case a few decades ago.
  • The primary reasons for that is that they still use sitting furniture that is manufactured using the same system that was used a few decades ago.

Things have really changed and today in the developed world the most obese and particularly morbidly obese people are mostly found among the less affluent population.  The primary reason for that is because they mostly use the less costly modern sitting furniture. During the time when sitting furniture was made mainly from wood without upholstering and mostly without back support, at the same time among the poor and the middle class population, obesity was unknown. During those times, the problem among the less poor population was mostly being underweight and not overweight, and severe obesity or morbid obesity was extremely rare. In the developed world, modern less costly sitting furniture is the main factor that has caused the less poor population to be affected with overweightness and obesity to a far greater extent than the rich population. Modern upholstered sitting furniture, particularly cheap versions that includes upholstered chair, armchair, sofa and couch are the main contributing factors for the increased prevalence of overweight and obesity throughout the world.

Obesity Epidemic-Gene

It is known that overweight and obese parents are more likely to have overweight and obese children. The main reason for that is that parents and children use the same sitting furniture. The obesity epidemic is mainly caused by the widespread use of modern upholstered sitting furniture. Particularly, the less costly version of upholstered sitting furniture is the main cause for the obesity epidemic and it is one of the primary factors that are responsible for the higher rate of obesity among the less poor population and regular or increased physical activity is not enough to counteract to the adverse consequences of prolonged sitting on the modern style of upholstered sitting furniture. Dietary intervention for weight management makes the problems worse. As we conclude on this article of great revelation, I want to encourage you that technology has brought with it lots of good and bad things in our lives, weight gain and obesity is just one among many. You and your friends need to seek guidance from the experts, you need not to be obese for you to do this but it is good to be full of knowledge even before the problem knocks on your door step. Taking your time to visit or call AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under Doctor Akoury’s care who is also the founder will help you clear the air and be equipped with all the necessary information you need to be safe from obesity and weight related problems. And if you are obese then doctor Akoury together with her team of experts will help you get better while focusing on Neuroendocrine Restoration (NER) to reinstate normality through realization of the oneness of Spirit, Mind, and Body, Unifying the threesome into ONE.

NTR Brain Restoration, Neurotransmitters restoration for drug abuse

June 17, 2014

NTR Brain Restoration-Substance Abuse

Neurotransmitter Restoration

Neurotransmitter Restoration (NTR) therapy is a rapid, effective form of detox that promotes rapid healing of the neurotransmitter system and restores brain function

The use and abuse of drugs has a great negative impact to the brain. The damage caused by these substances must be avoided by all means to safe guard the effective functionalities of the brain which is very crucial to human life. The use of Neurotransmitter Restoration (NTR) in restoring any damage that may have been inflicted in the brain by consistent use of drugs the damage in many cases will interfere with the systems associated with neurotransmitters and receptors which send and receive information into the brain. The damage can heal over time when one stops using the substance even if it is not rapid, however it must be noted that during this process of detoxification there will be the possibility of cravings and discomfort from the withdrawal a painful moment that can also lead into relapse.

In an attempt to speed up the withdrawal process and eliminated where possible cravings research has established that nutrition and detoxification treatment program can work using amino acid vitamins and other substances which promotes healing of any damages inflicted in to the brain by the substances used over time. The body uses Nicotinamide adenide dinucleotide (NAD) to transform vitamin B3 stimulating cells to be more active thereby speeding up the brain restoration process. A drug-free intravenous drip of a mixture of these nutritional substances known as Neurotransmitter Restoration (NTR) therapy is a rapid, effective form of detox that promotes rapid healing of the neurotransmitter system and restores brain function.

More research is being done and currently about 100 neurotransmitters have been identified among them is dopamine and serotonin. The nerve cells sends signals across small gaps known as synapses to the receptor sites on other neurons stimulating or inhibiting feelings and activities. The natural way of producing neurotransmitters is partly distorted in the addicts because of the substances the use which imitates the actions of neurotransmitters and the symptoms of withdrawal are revealed when consumptions of substances is interfered with and at the point of interference the body has not regained its natural production.

NTR Brain Restoration-The NAD Health Difference

  • Infusion IV therapy of nicotinic acid supplements and other nutritional substances eases the discomfort of withdrawal and detox.
  • The nutritional needs of substance abuse patients are met through an infusion of amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and NAD, a coenzyme that is used in the body to create naturally-occurring vitamin B-3.
  • It is a coenzyme because it occurs in two different forms (NAD+ or NADH) in cells, depending on whether it gains or loses hydrogen in a process by which cells release energy, known as cellular respiration.
  • NAD binds with amino acid receptors in the brain to stimulate the healing process.
  • The natural IV therapy saturates the brain bathing it in nutritional substances that promote optimum energy and shift the body’s cells into repair mode.
  • This speeds up the healing process while supporting the body during the elimination of drugs and alcohol.
  • Neurotransmitter Restoration (NTR) directly results in a decrease in the time and intensity of withdrawal symptoms and the elimination of cravings even for heroin or Suboxone.
  • This treatment takes 10 to 14 days, determined by a physician’s assessment based on the drug that was abused and the person’s condition.
  • The all-natural detox treatment program, which includes orally-administered amino acid supplements, alleviates fatigue, anxiety and depression, normalizes stress levels, restores mental clarity, and renews a sense of well-being or optimism about engaging in the next steps of a larger recovery program.
  • It also jumpstarts the restoration of cognitive function lost through substance abuse.

NTR Brain Restoration-Infusion Therapy

NAD rapid drug detox program and NTR program should include:

  • Access to traditional addiction recovery support
  • Cutting-edge detox technology with a nutritional approach
  • With a normal detox process, healing of the brain is left up to time and chance.
  • NTR works directly to repair the damage done to the brain’s neuroreceptors systems by chronic substance use.

The medically-supervised NAD/NTR detox program should consists of both intravenous and oral administration of supplements by experienced professionals especially a registered nurse working under the direction of a medical doctor’s orders.

NTR Brain Restoration Features

  • 10- to 14-Day Nutrition assisted Detox
  • All natural no addictive medications used
  • Minimized withdrawal and elimination of cravings
  • Relief from anxiety, depression and stress
  • Restoration of mental clarity and optimism
NTR Brain Restoration-Reasons for choosing NTR

The NAD/NTR IV detox therapy enables rapid detox of drugs or alcohol from the patient’s system, and elimination of withdrawal symptoms and cravings without the use of drugs or other addictive substances. Other detox approaches usually use potentially addictive medications, which prolong the process and put people at risk of exchanging one addiction for another. There is no need for anxiety about drawn-out withdrawal using IV nutrient infusion therapy.

  • At the same time it supports your body and brain nutritionally during the detox process
  • NAD/NTR also speeds up the healing process by initiating repair to the neurotransmitter and receptor systems of the brain, accelerating the withdrawal process while reducing cravings and in many cases completely eliminating them.
  • The NAD/NTR process also provides neurotransmitter therapy, rebalancing the brain’s neurochemistry so that it can recover from the damage that has occurred.
  • It is effective with alcohol and illegal drugs, as well as prescription medications such as Methadone, Suboxone and other opiates.

In conclusion all these points discussed will only be useful to you when you are seek advice from qualified medical experts who have had experience in the same discipline over period of time. Doctor Dalal Akoury who is also the founder of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center has been administering treatment to all kinds of addicts globally for over the last two decades and together with her team of experts you will get the very best you need to have your life back. Dear reader if you or anybody you know is having any problem related to addiction of whatever kind then this is the place to be.

Treatments for alcohol addiction, abuse and dependency

Treatments for alcohol addiction, abuse and dependency-Part Three

Addiction

Surely our children can not be victims of alcohol abuse we can together do something

As I said in the last post effective treatment of alcoholism or alcohol addiction starts from within the addict. It is the most important step for the healing process to begin and it can only begin with the alcoholic acknowledging and admitting that they have a problem and that they need help. Once this is done then the next step is help and support and in this area we will bring onboard only real and experienced experts in this field of addiction.  Doctor Akoury has been in this field for over three decades and will be very instrumental is helping you get better the natural way. But before that let us get back to alcohol addiction as a medical condition which requires experts’ attention. Defeating an alcohol addiction is not simple as it may appear, it is a long and painful process which require more than sheer willpower of the patient.

When administering treatment to the alcoholic, it requires the patient to make several adjustments in their lives in nearly every aspect which may not be very easy to many addicts. The good news is that even though these adjustments may not be easy but you can be rest assured that help and support is readily available at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under Doctor Akoury’s care. We have to appreciate that treatments for alcohol addiction are quite varied because there are multiple perspectives for the condition itself. For instance those who approach alcoholism as a medical condition or disease recommend differing treatments than those who approach the condition as one of social choice.

Because alcoholism involves multiple factors which encourage victims to continue drinking, an all-inclusive approach must be put in place to address all the underlying factors in order to successfully prevent a relapse. For example detoxification is an ideal method of treatment followed by a combination of supportive therapy, attendance at self-help groups, and ongoing development of coping mechanisms. The treatment community for alcoholism typically supports an abstinence-based zero tolerance approach; however, there are some who promote a harm-reduction approach as well.

Treatments for alcohol addiction, abuse and dependency-Detoxification

Detoxification or ’detox’ for alcoholics is an abrupt stop of alcohol drinking coupled with the substitution of drugs that have similar effects to offset the withdrawal symptoms. Benzodiazepines are the most common family of drugs used for this, followed by barbiturates. Detoxes are performed in multiple ways some of which include:

  • The first takes into consideration the varying degrees of tolerance and in it, a standard dose of the benzodiazepine is given to the patient every half hour until light sedation is reached.
  • Once a baseline dose is determined, the medication is tapered over the ensuing 3-10 days.
  • Another option is to give a standard dose of benzodiazepine based on history and adjust based on withdrawal phenomenon.
  • A third option is to defer treatment until symptoms occur, which is safe only with relatively mild alcohol users.

It must be noted that detoxification only treats the physical effects of prolonged use of alcohol, but does not actually treat alcoholism. After the process of detox is complete, relapse is likely without further treatment. However detoxification may or may not be necessary depending on an individual’s age, medical status, and history of alcohol intake. For example, a young man who binge drinks and seeks treatment one week after his last use of alcohol may not require detoxification before beginning treatment for alcoholism.

Treatments for alcohol addiction, abuse and dependency-Group therapy and psychotherapy for alcohol addiction

The moment detoxification is done group therapy or psychotherapy can be used to deal with underlying psychological issues which are related to alcohol addiction, as well as to provide relapse prevention skills. The mutual-help group-counseling approach is one of the most common ways of helping alcoholics maintain sobriety.

Treatments for alcohol addiction, abuse and dependency-Rationing and moderation for alcohol addiction

Rationing and moderation programs do not mandate complete abstinence. Since one of the effects of alcohol is to reduce a person’s judgment, each drink makes it more difficult to decide that the next drink is a bad idea. Additionally, for those who are predisposed towards alcoholism, drinking in moderation can result in the strengthening of the endorphin-based addiction.

While most alcoholics are unable to limit their drinking in this way, moderate drinking works for some people, and it may avoid the physical, financial, and social costs of other treatments – particularly in the early phase of recovery. Professional help can be sought for rationing from AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under the able leadership of doctor Akoury

Treatments for alcohol addiction, abuse and dependency-Nutritional therapy for alcohol addiction

Preventative treatment of alcohol complications includes long-term use of multivitamin as well as specific vitamins like B12 and folate.

While nutritional therapy is not a treatment of alcoholism itself, it treats the difficulties that can arise after years of heavy alcohol use. Many alcohol dependents have insulin resistance syndrome, a metabolic disorder where the body’s difficulty in processing sugars causes an unsteady supply to the blood stream. While the disorder can be diminished by a hypoglycemic diet, this can affect behavior and emotions, side-effects often seen among alcohol dependents in treatment. The metabolic aspects of such dependence are often overlooked, causing poor treatment outcomes.

So far we have been discussing the various treatments methods of alcohol addiction for a sober society. All that we have mention above are very essential for treating alcoholics however for they to be properly put into use we will need experts with vast experience in handling matters addiction and especially alcohol addiction. As mention in this article doctor Akoury is an expert who has been offering neuroendocrine restoration (NER) to reinstate normality through realization of oneness of spirit, mind and body unifying the threesome into one. This is a working treatment method that has helped many people globally and your appointment with doctor Akoury will be the best you can do to yourself and loved ones because by the time she is done with you, you will be up on your feet again only that this time you will be sober and fully recovered.
