  • Safety in Costa Rica - The biggest hesitation many people have when considering visiting Costa Rica, investing in Costa Rica, or relocating to Costa Rica is the level of safety they can be assured. Most are pleasantly surprised to learn that safety in Costa Rica is better and more secure than many other countries in the world--including the United States of America! Americans and individuals from other countries are relocating to Costa Rica all the time, and many credit the safety in Costa Rica that they experienced when previously visiting Costa Rica for helping them take the plunge and move down there part- or full-time.
  • Blood Tests: Have You Had One Recently? - People who care about their health often overlook the importance of having regular blood tests. The most comprehensive blood test is known as the CBC/Chemistry Profile. It's inexpensive and measures 35 different blood parameters that can have a powerful impact on the state of your health. For example, one of the many serious disorders that are detectable by the CBC/Chemistry Profile is calcium overload. Does the term "calcium overload" surprise you?
  • Effective Goal Setting for Addiction Recovery - Many if not most of the individuals who are addicted to drugs and alcohol are not happy with their lives and experience emotional disorders such as depression. Furthermore, many of those who suffer from drug and alcohol dependency say that they are not doing what they really want to do with their life. Learning and applying effective goal setting strategies from the field of Neuro Linguistic Programming can help to reduce drug and alcohol dependency and improve recovery rates by increasing the possibility of a person getting what they truly want from life and as a result being able to experience authentic happiness. Assisting a person in achieving what he or she really wants in life as well as in recovery is about a three stage process, effective planning, doing and accountability.
  • Do we need to Micromanage our Bodies? - Do you have high cholesterol, high blood pressure, insulin insensitivity, depression, joint pain, back pain, leg pain, a pain in the neck . . . No problem, just get down to your friendly local pharmacy to get the right pills and you're good to go. I hope that sounds sarcastic - because it is. Why do we spend so much money and effort trying to micromanage each little hormone or chemical imbalance in our body? Often times these approaches just end up offsetting something else anyway.
  • Diet, Exercise Beat Drugs at Combating Type II Diabetes - This week the British Medical Journal published a meta-analysis of the best approaches to treating type II diabetes. What the heck is a meta-analysis? It is where a research group looks at all the previous studies they can find on a particular subject and puts them all together to see how much the studies agree. This particular meta-analysis looked at all the ways to treat type II diabetes, whether it were drugs, herbs, diets, exercise or combinations. Diet, Exercise better than Drugs. The researchers found that lifestyle approaches (diet and exercise) were at least as effective as drugs in treating type II diabetes.
  • Drug Addiction Treatment, Do You Need Help? - Substance dependency treatment is available to assist any individual with an addiction or substance use problem. Each treatment is tailored to individual needs so that they can learn to control their addiction and live normal, productive lives. Let's start with these suggestions: First, you need to admit your problem.
  • Obesity - The Major Killer - The fast paced life and the eating habits lead to obesity among 93 percent of the world population. Over weight and obesity have become a common problem. So if you are obese you are not alone. But don't console yourself that you are one among the vast majority of obese population because not taking the corrective actions may lead to dangerous health hazard.
  • Are Your Painkillers Giving You A Migraine? - Migraine by Prescription? A Cautionary Tale on Painkillers When you sense the first niggling indications of a migraine headache starting, what is the first thing you do? Probably rush to your medicine chest and take a painkiller automatically. Sometimes you may even be taking a pain pill in advance often or even daily, in order to stave off recurrent headaches or because you are anticipating a stressful situation ahead. Did any of those situations strike a cord? Then stop for a minute and think about your headaches. Is there a pattern? Do they seem to have become more frequent and more intense with time, requiring medication more often than before?
  • Coping Responsibly with Addiction - Do You Get It? - Preventing and Coping with Problems While preventing a problem before it happens is usually "better" than facing the problem, typically it also involves a different level of complexity. Let me explain. Preventing genital herpes or AIDS, for instance, is obviously "better" AND far easier to deal with than curing these diseases.
  • The Internet: The Latest Form of Addiction? - Internet-Related Addictions In my travels through cyberspace, I have noticed an increasing number of websites and blogs discussing various forms of Internet-related addictive behavior. In fact, I have recently encountered the following online dependencies: porn, gambling, video games, comment addiction (i.e., checking the comments on one's blog), Internet addiction, blog addiction, Technorati addiction, forum addiction, information addiction, MySpace addiction, and addiction to Bloglines.
  • The False High of Addiction - The Doctor Who Had Everything While scanning the information on the Titusonenine blog, I recently read a post entitled "A Bout With Addiction, for the Doctor Who Has Everything" that captured my interest. According to the post, Dr. G. was an anesthesiologist who became addicted to drugs. After entering a drug rehab clinic, unfortunately, he never returned to his medical practice. The Need for Excitement Dr. G's story was interesting for a number of reasons, but at a very basic level of analysis the problem was clear. To everyone else, Dr. G. had everything: power, financial resources, prestige, position, and respect and admiration from others. Apparently, however, there was one thing that Dr. G. didn't have: excitement--something thrilling that would add zest to his life. Unfortunately, Dr. G.
  • The Effects of Smoking and Drinking On Mental Proficiency - Smoking Can Prime the Brain for Later Addiction An article entitled "Adolescent Smokers Have A Greater Risk Of Developing Alcohol-use Disorders Than Nonsmokers" by Richard A. Grucza, and Kevin W. Chen revealed research findings that are problematic at best. Perhaps the most disturbing was this: research suggests that smoking "primes" the brain for later addiction to alcohol and perhaps other drugs. When added to the following statistic, this information is very disconcerting: alcohol and smoking, when considered independently or in combination, account for more than 20 percent of the annual fatalities in the United States. Alcohol-Use Disorders It is common knowledge that many people started smoking and drinking when they were teenagers.
  • The Basics EVERYONE Must Know About Alcoholics Anonymous And Addiction Treatment - One of the oldest forms of dealing with addiction is to be a member of Alcoholics Anonymous (simply known as AA). Many people that are getting to know about this group of people recently are having some misconceptions about the group. Some people see them as a bunch of unserious people with no effective means of dealing with the problem of alcohol addiction. Others perceive them as being irrelevant in the modern days of technology. There are even some that share the belief that the group cannot help an addict. What is AA? What do they do? How do they help the addict? All these and other relevant questions will be answered to help you make the right decision.
  • Cholesterol: Good, Bad or Ugly? - The notion that high cholesterol is bad for you is receiving many challenges. An increasing number of medical professionals and researchers doubt this publicly accepted and heavily promoted argument.
  • Are Drug Companies Destroying The US Health Care System? - The U.S. government's annual bill for healthcare spending - $3,925 per person - significantly exceeds that of all other nations. Despite this, our current health care system is increasingly failing both patients and medical practitioners.
  • Should Parents Test Adolescents for Substance Use? - Much has been made recently of the opportunities afforded by recent technology for parents to obtain cheap alcohol and drug testing facilities. So are these a real boon to parents. Is it a positive step being able to test your teenager for alcohol and drugs? Instead of getting the surly automatic denial, is it not a genuine benefit to be able to get a definitive answer so that both parents and adolescents know whether drugs or alcohol are being consumed? Do parents really need to use a testing kit to tell if their kids are using drugs. True it can be difficult sometimes.
  • The Eyes are the Soul of the Body Iridology is not a New Science - Iridology is by no means a new science. It is often said that "The eyes are the key to a person's soul". Mathew 6, 22 states that "The light of the body is in the eye" when the eye is sound the body is sound". Indeed history record s that the eyes have been used to diagnose a person's health for literally thousands of years.
  • Beyond Sobriety - Congratulations! Now that you are sober, you have released yourself from the bonds of your addiction.
  • Is an Asthma Cure Possible? - One of the major concerns with a possible asthma cure is that the exact cause of the condition is not presently known. There is ongoing research that is trying to determine the exact cause of this respiratory condition and attempt to find the cure. Right now, all the medicine can offer is management strategies and emergency relief when asthma attacks occur. What is known about any possible asthma cure is that it will have to involve several different elements including environmental exposures, pre- and neo-natal health issues, as well as genetic factors.
  • Tamiflu Senses the Sense Behind Influenza - Influenza is a common disease that can strike an individual anytime. But it is not to be taken lightly as it may lead to other diseases. It results from infection with influenza viruses and the effect of these viruses can be found on upper respiratory tract, nose and throat. Upon non-treatment of influenza, the infection also may affect lungs and bronchi which are risky. Influenza is contagious disease and may spread like an epidemic if not taken care in time.
