Tased & Confused

In this article at Science News a man’s irregular heartbeat was forced back to normal after being tased. This is an aberration with the taser acting like a cardiac defibrillator.

The establishment’s spinners like this kind of stuff because they can say, “see it saved that man’s life.” Everyone needs to be reminded that this is a fluke. It’s very much the exception. Don’t count on cowboy CPR saving many people’s lives. You can expect about as much success with that as stopping diarrhea with magnesium citrate.

Fluoride

This week I bought my first tube of non-fluoride toothpaste. I mentioned it to some folks here at work. One coworker asked why. I told him because it does other things than what we’ve been taught. He said that his son’s dentist swears by fluoridated water. I told him that the dentists have all been indoctornated.

Maybe if the dentist reads the ADA published report by Dr. Mullenix on the Neurotoxicity of Fluoride he’ll learn to swear at it instead of swearing by it.

Oxy-Powder - Colon Cleanse

It has to go somewhere. If we’re going to keep taking in all sorts of things that aren’t good for us, we need to have at least a little concern what happens to it after we are done eating and drinking. Periodically the colon needs to be cleansed. Unfortunately most people don’t pay a lot of attention to their digestive system until something drastic happens. Then they try what amounts to powerflushing their system as if it is a car’s radiator. The body is capable of removing toxins from the blood and other tissues but much of it has to come out through the bowel. The digestive system needs certain minerals and other nutrients to take care of the final evacuation of these things. It is this inadequate nutrition that leads to constipation and other maladies. Herbal colon cleansing products place unnecessary strain on the digestive system. Diarrhea caused by overloading the body with high-power laxatives is not a good way to clear the colon. Newer oxygen-based products for Colon Cleanse, like Oxy-Powder^TM, utilize mineral compounds that help the body clear the colon without stress and discomfort associated with other compounds. We all need to improve our dietary habits. This goes a long way towards allowing the body to take care of its own maintenance. The website at oxypowder.com has information on what is happening within the body that makes colon cleansing necessary. The product has been featured in more than a dozen magazines. You receive complete instructions for the cleansing process. They have client testimonials and clinical trial information. Take the Colon Health Test on their website and see if it could be of benefit to you.

Diabetes is a chronic disease that needs to be monitored daily. Most people have to take oral or injectible medications and test their blood sugar levels with a meter. Depending on your financial situation you cold be placed in a situation where you are able to pay the costs of your prescriptions but are unable to pay the additional costs of OneTouch Ultra Strips at $13-15 off retail.

Migraines

From what I can tell I have only had two or three migraine-type headaches. From seeing friends deal with them I understand how fully debilitating they can be. Time you should be able to enjoy you are unable to. They’re hard to predict. With the exception of stress, there does not seem to be a specific trigger. And even stress doesn’t set them off the same way all the time. OTC medications begin to fail. Then the person starts to develop a tolerance for the prescription meds. Eventually my friends have had to seek out a physician who is a pain specialist. Hopefully research will bring about a way of treating them without numbing out the world all the time.

Drug Rehab Programs

I don’t think I have ever known anyone personally who has had to pursue a drug rehabilitation program. If it has happened it was at a time when I wasn’t around and then they never told me about it afterwards, which is fine. It is a personal thing and not everyone is comfortable talking about things. I have a suspicion that people have better success entering a program voluntarily where they have a choice of facility and length and type of treatment. Usually when you are directed to something by the court you lose all or most of your options The important thing is to acknowledge that you have a problem and seek help.

Fibromyalgia

I’ve known of a few people who developed fibromyalgia. They’re mostly able to keep going. However it does cause them a lot of discomfort. Of the various chronic conditions I have heard of it has seemed to be, at least in the cases I know of, one of the lesser debilitating. It’s something one has to get in their mind to fight against and it seems like the fight part can be more discouraging than the condition itself.

Meditox of Palm Beach

The normal process of treatment disrupts the patient’s lifestyle for a period of time. They are forced to stay in a center. They are unable to work. There can be loss of income and some people are unable to keep their jobs depending on their situation. The Meditox method allows them to avoid all of that. The patient attends an initial consultation at one of the Meditox suboxone detox centers. They will be working with physicians who are specialists in the field of substance abuse. Then they continue the treatment to completion over a period of weeks from home. They may be out of work a day or so but are able to continue their lives and restore their health gradually. With suboxone detox the shock to the body is greatly reduced over more rapid treatment methods. The problem didn’t develop over night. It makes sense to not expect a lasting recovery over night either. As you’re researching solutions have a look at their website and learn more about the Meditox method. They have locations in six states.

The Canyon - Integrative Substance Rehab Solutions

For centuries we’ve had drug addiction in one form or another in the civilized world and culturally we have not dealt with it very well. People have needed a place to go to call home while they received the proper care back when many of these substances were not illegal. Somehow we reached the conclusion that the solution was incarceration, not compassion. Places like The Canyon are helping people in the proper way. By addressing more than one condition and stressing inpatient care they are able to help people achieve longer lasting results. They provide more than a drug rehab facility. The patient may have several factors among which alcoholism or drug dependency are just one symptom. By looking at the entire person they are able to provide a more complete treatment. They are not saying that drug detox isn’t necessary. But simply going through the process of detox doesn’t go far enough and the patient may find themselves in the same or a similar condition in short time. This integrative approach is one of the reasons The Canyon is nationally recognized in their field. As you continue research into treatment solutions, visit their website if only to gain more insight into possibilities.
