Most readers already know that succumbing to sweets too often can lead to obesity and diabetes. What many don’t know, however, is that too many “quickie carbs” can bring on a host of other maladies-such as “brain fog,” fatigue, mood swings, heart disease, and even cancer-from which millions may be suffering because of their sugar or carbohydrate habits. Once besieged by 44 seemingly unconnected symptoms, former “sugar addict” Connie Bennett, an experienced journalist, managed to kick sweets and simple carbs in 1998. She improved her health-and uncovered extensive medical research that substantiat...

Eat to Live offers a healthy, effective, and scientifically proven Six-Week Plan for shedding a radical amount of weight quickly. The key to the program’s success is simple: health = nutrients: calories When the ratio of nutrients to calories in the food you eat is high, fat melts away.

Eat to Live will help you live longer, reduce your need for medications, and improve your overall health dramatically. It is a book that will change the way you want to eat.

It's all bullsh, of course as any colon surgeon will tell you. The bottom line is that in medicine, “detoxification” has a specific meaning, and alt-med “detox” believers have appropriated the term for something that has little or nothing to do with its real medical meaning. Alt-med detox has more to do with exorcism and bad humors than real medicine. Squirting warm water up your backsid...

Seriously. Don’t think about elephants, or big floppy elephant ears, or elephants at circuses, or elephants in the wild. Now, be honest: you totally just thought of an elephant. Didn’t you? That’s exactly how I felt all week when I tried to stay away from the internet. When I opted to spend a week away from the internet and other technological devices, I expected my brief affair with the IRL (“in real life”) world to whisk me away into romantic oblivion. Sadly, that was not the case. Instead, I spent a lot of offline time thinking about the technology that I was sorely missing…and about the stress it invites into my life.

Popular in the 1970s, cleansing fasts are again all the rage among celebrities like Gisele Bundchen, Gwyneth Paltrow, Stella McCartney, and Madonna. One of the key advocates of the health benefits of cleansing detoxes is Roni DeLuz, ND, a licensed naturopathic and health practitioner at Marthas Vineyard Holistic Retreat, part of the renowned Marthas Vineyard Inn. The idea behind DeLuzs new detox plan is the belief that the foods we eat (along with the coffee, tea, and alcohol we drink and the air we breathe) contain harmful and toxic substances that accumulate in our bodies and need to be removed in some way.

However; it is not too late to start living healthier. Below are 4 helpful tips to a colon detox. Tip # 1 One of the most affected aspects of our life is our health; we do not choose healthy foods but instead settle for fast food, junk food, and processed food. Indeed, these are the quick way to fill a hungry stomach and replenish fuel in the body, but they are rich in preservatives that have negative effects for the body, especially the colon. Tip # 2 The human colon is responsible for processing the food we eat. In the process of digestion, the colon also acts as a natural cleansing mechanism of the body in order to get rid of the toxins contained in the food we ea...

Few methadone detox or rehab facilities will accept someone taking more than 80 milligrams per day, but most long-term addicts are on far higher doses. In fact, many detox and rehab centers require dosages as low as 40mg or less. And many drug rehab and drug detox centers won’t accept methadone addicts at all. And at the higher maintenance doses, which is where we find the majority of methadone addicts, withdrawal symptoms during detox are unimaginably severe, and can last for months. Instead, almost all rehab and detox centers advise addicts to taper their dosages down to 20 to 40 milligrams per day, and then they will be accepted...

Ross McKenzie was diagnosed as bipolar at the age of 21. After 15 years of daily lithium doses, he went off his meds last February. He’s been drug free ever since. This is the continuing story of how he made his way back to a life without psychotropic medication, after he ended up walking naked down a highway on one ill-fated night. At the end of my first year on lithium, I almost died. For an entire year I had been taking 1200 milligrams of lithium a day. At the end of the year my psychiatrist called me in a panic telling me to drop my dosage immediately: “Your test results were in the extreme toxic range.

There’s something slightly counterintuitive in the idea of using drugs to combat drug use. Yet that’s the way the mainstream medical community does it, and millions of people have been helped by these drug detox methods.

The individual is analyzed to see whether he or she should be transferred in the intensive medical detox program unit. It is generally not advisable that a patient abruptly stop taking the drugs or alcohol without a medically supervised medical detox program. Withdrawal from certain drugs, including alcohol, can be dangerous and require a special treatment program. The type of treatment program recommended depends upon the substances abused, the duration of the addiction and the amount taken. In a medical detox program, 24 hour supervision is provided by qualified withdrawal specialists and nurses. There are s...

Medical detox uses medication to rid the patient of physical dependence. Qualified doctors make use of latest medical facilities to ensure the addict’s recovery. Medical programs also use a mix of holistic and medical approaches for the comfortable and speedy recovery of the patient. Many centers also provide non-medical detox programs for addicts. Such programs can prove more effective than medical detox programs in many cases. Non-medical detox uses nutritional alternatives, natural, and IV therapies for the patient’s rehabilitation. Both of these programs are very sophisticated and use a battery of tests to evaluate the addict’s condition. Bio detox treatments include complete detoxificat...

Fortunately, help is available to treat alcoholism and alcohol dependency problems. The easiest and most effective approach combines long-term treatment and support following a shorter-term alcohol detox program. Most alcohol rehab programs have traditionally been rooted in strong, on-going personal support involving family, friends and peer groups. There’s nothing wrong with that, but the main problem is taking the first big step – making the decision to quit drinking and get into an alcohol rehab program. The good news is that a fast, modern medically supervised alcohol detox program can make the alcohol rehab d...

It can literally mean the difference between a long life of happiness and a short life of misery. Here are 3 very important things you need to think about before making a choice. 1. Do they provide medical detoxification? Success or failure can be determined by the level of comfort you feel when you are first getting clean.

The purpose of it is to clear the body of the toxins built up through the use of drugs and alcohol. In a rehab centre, you’ll undergo a managed detox. You can also detox outside a residential centre but you must seek medical advice first as it can be dangerous to do it without supervision. Withdrawal The first stage of detox is withdrawal, which includes both mental and physical reactions. Many individuals experience withdrawal symptoms of varying severity. The type of withdrawal symptoms a person will experience and their severity depend on a number of factors.

In this case then it is important that you visit a medical alcohol detox facility in order to remove the alcohol from your system while protecting your health. Alcohol withdrawal symptoms only present themselves after a person has seriously abused alcohol for a significant amount of time. If you go out on Friday and become intoxicated, you may be hungover the next day, but you will not need medical detox in order to remove the alcohol from your body. On the other hand, if you are a regular alcohol abuser who has developed a high tolerance to the alcohol you may not be able to stop without encountering serious problems. Alcohol withdrawal s...

But a new generation of medical drug detox centers is providing new, more effective protocols that help substance-dependent patients ease through withdrawal with a minimum of discomfort. In most cities and towns in America, alcohol and drug detox facilities only offer ‘cookie-cutter’ detox — everyone dependent on a similar substance is put through a similar withdrawal program. Often, it’s little more than putting patients in a room and letting them sweat it out on their own. Expectations for cookie-cutter drug detox are understandably low.

Every one of the various types of addiction can be nightmarish for the addict, due to the fact that the addicted person has lost any kind of control over a very important area of their life, but addiction to hard drugs can leave anyone in a helpless, dreadful physical and mental condition. At a certain point in time, the addict will find themselves in a situation where they cannot derive any pleasure or any kind of benefit from taking the drug anymore, but will still need to be taking more of it indefinitely just to avoid going into a withdrawal. This ever increasing need for drugs forces many addicts into a life of crime and despair to satisfy the habit. When the sense of overwhe...

The catch, of course, is that you have to be willing to initiate the healing process in the first place. It’s never easy to make the decision to enroll in a substance abuse rehab facility. But nothing you do will ever be more important. The day you begin substance abuse rehabilitation will be the day you start healing from the inside out, in a way that will help you rediscover life as you used to know it and yourself as you used to be.

Like the mainstream use of crystal meth, this trend spread from west to east – San Francisco to New York and Vancouver to Toronto. At “PNP” parties (shorthand for “party and play” – meaning sex and drugs), crystal meth, known as “tina,” increases energy and reduces sexual inhibition. The superhuman feeling that often comes with a crystal meth high means the sex is often unprotected. The dangerous mix of crystal meth and unprotected sex got the world’s attention in February 2005 when it was revealed that a New York City man who is a frequent crystal meth user and had unprotected sex with numerous other men contracted a highly virulent strain o...

Anyone who suggests otherwise simply doesn’t understand the nature of OxyContin addiction. The truth is that OxyContin abuse is always rooted in physiological dependency, which is why OxyContin treatment must always begin with physiological healing. The doctors and therapists at a professional OxyContin detox facility will help you prepare for the challenges of primary OxyContin rehab. In the end, it’s hard to imagine that anything could ever be more important than that. OxyContin detox is an arduous process—let there be no mistake about that. But it doesn’t have to be a painful. On the contrary, a gentle OxyContin detox program administered by competent, compassionate professionals can help you get better without suffering...

If your feeling enslaved by having to go to a clinic or a pharmacy everyday and going through hell if you want to travel, there is a way out. Methadone use produces a numb feeling to living, significant stomach problems and physical dependency that beats all others; that’s the short list.

Like any disease, it isn’t subject to the willful control of those individuals who suffer from it. If you’re a substance abuser, you didn’t choose to be sick. More significantly, you can’t simply decide to get sober. If you’re serious about achieving meaningful and lasting substance abuse recovery, it’s imperative that you enroll in an exclusive substance abuse treatment program administered by a private substance abuse treatment center. The good news is that substance abuse rehab really can change lives. The catch, though, is that substance abusers must be the ones to initiate the healing process.

The feeling of being high is something you will crave strongly, as well as the smell of the cannabis.  This is a natural process of marijuana withdrawal and can become overwhelming.  This is why so many people find themselves right back in the same position, smoking more, even after they have made a commitment to quit.  You may even go a through a few days without it before you can’t take it anymore and start back.  I get so frustrated when people do this because they w...

While many drug withdrawals can be uncomfortable, not all drug withdrawals are life threatening. Most people are unaware of the severe and life threatening consequences of abrupt withdrawal from certain medications. Pharmaceuticals come with instructions and warning labels that can be referred to. Your pharmacist and doctor should also provide you with information about withdrawal procedures. Alcohol detox is a good example of one that should be medically supervised in certain cases. Sudden cessation of heavy alcohol use can cause seizures and even be deadly. Xanax detox and detox rehab from other benzodiazepines is another example of a potentially dangerous withdrawal, especially if other medications are being taken in conjun...

There are numerous different methodologies when it comes to detox and I will not go into those here. What I will do is give you the bottom line information as it relates to a Medical Detox. So, what is a Medical Detox? Essentially, it is an aided withdraw process. It is a process that mandates the use of proven medicines to ease the withdraw symptoms. These medicines are issued under the care and supervision of qualified medical professionals. A medical detox typically constitutes a stay in a medical facility so that your vital signs can continuously be monitored. It is also important to stay in a medical facility due to the fact that your dosage of medicine should constantly be monitored and ...

Each of them has the same conventional forms of treatment, but there are some that vary when it comes to specialized treatment. Some offer faith based treatment, which means that the person is spiritually empowered and then offered conventional treatment as well. There are others that have to be different because they cater to individuals who have dual diagnosis and not all conventional rehab programs can handle this issue. It is not easy to choose a rehab center when your loved one is suffering from dual diagnosis because you simply don’t know the extent of the person’s addiction and why they resorted to either drugs or alcohol so you are unable to choose wisely.

We know that constantly being stressed can have seriously bad implications for our body and our mind, but this news got us all worked up: A new study shows that stressed out mice fought tumors way better than mice that were relaxing all the time. (How do mice relax, exactly?) Mice were injected with melanoma. Some mice were in a large cage with other mice, lots of toys, and space. Other mice remained in the normal lab cages. Three weeks into the study, the tumors of the mice who were in the more stimulating cage shrank to half their previous size, and they had shrunk 77% in six weeks. The tumors even disappeared in 17% of the mice. The mice in the normal cages had tumors that continued to grow. So, what&#82...

Is your alcoholic husband or alcoholic wife willing to undergo alcohol detox treatment in order to get clean and sober? Are you wondering if they can be treated as an outpatient or if they need to be in a hospital setting? This question can best be answered by a medical professional and is based on how much they have been drinking and if they are a chronic drinker.

But they were late-stage, chronic alcoholics, the kind who huddle beneath city bridges in the December cold or who simply revolve through local detox centers and shelters. All were searching for a reason to hope. A week earlier, the counsellor had asked each of them to write a prayer. Everyone managed to come up with something, except one.

Last Friday I booked my flight over to Paris for September. Yesterday I finally settled on an apartment to rent at a pretty damn good prize. For some visuals, I’ll post some photos. For about 85 Euros a night, I have an apartment, dishwasher - not that I need that, washer, and free WI FI, something very essential for me. Now going to Paris may not seem that adventurous, especially after my official “Pandemic Tour” where I travelled around the world, literally. But it is. Image by Kostas, Athens.

That blog became one of the most widely read items I’ve ever written, generating nearly 500 comments at last count. While some respondents disagreed and said that the pads had helped them, many writers agreed with my assessment of Kinoki as being a scam. Well, now the federal government has weighed in and guess what? They agree with me and have officially called Kinoki detox foot pads a scam. I’d always held that it was just a matter of time before the feds came d...

That might sound like a bold statement, but the fact of the matter is that detox done right is first and foremost a hopeful experience. The key, of course, lies in your ability to find a drug detox facility that’s firmly committed to the well-being of its patients. Those clinics which administer gentle and compassionate detox programs really can help their clients get sober without suffering. All that remains, now, is for you to make the right choice. There are plenty of options for drug detox in Los Angeles. Only some of them are good ones. Before you make a decision, then, it’s vital that you thoroughly research your options. Your ability to find a drug rehab center that’s right for you may well make the difference between the success and fai...

The good news, though, is that you can’t always trust what you hear from Hollywood. In fact, the right detox program can ensure that you come through the process with your mind and your body entirely intact. In the end, the most successful detox programs are those administered by competent and compassionate professionals. The detox rehab center that’s right for you is the one that cares about your well-being, and devotes the most attention to your individual needs and your addiction recovery. Gentle and painless detox will quite literally change your life. All that remains is for you to take the first ste...

Lose the Weight.” I told him that all colon cleansing products are basically the same; namely, scams. The reason is that colon cleansing is wholly unnecessary and a complete waste of time, money and effort. Regardless of marketing hype, regardless of ingredients, regardless of method, regardless of testimonials, colon cleansing is quite purely and simply medical quackery. The one exception to this is when it’s prescribed medically as in preparation for an examination such as colonoscopy.

And for many of them the next week, the second week of January, will be when they “blow” their diet and go back to square one (and if not that week, shortly thereafter). That’s why the Healthy Weight Network sponsors Healthy Weight Week during the third week in January, which this year is January 18-24. The Network was started by Francis M. “Francie” Berg, MS, a licensed nutritionist, family wellness specialist and adjunct professor at the University of North Dakota some 16 years ago and they’ve been sponsoring this annual event ever since.

The plain fact of the matter is that opiates addiction is a ferocious disease, and that the first stages of withdrawal can be exceptionally traumatic if patients don’t get the right kind of help. To that end, it’s vital that you enroll in a Malibu opiates detox program that can meet each and every one of your needs during your first few weeks of sobriety. Given the stakes, anything less than that simply isn’t good enough. The good news is that Malibu opiates detox done the right way really will set you on the road to long-term opiates addiction recovery. The only catch is that you have to take the first step.

But that’s just flat wrong. The truth is that cocaine addiction is at root a physiological disease, and that cocaine rehab must begin with physiological healing. The care you get in a cocaine detox facility will be vital in helping you begin your journey to sobriety on the right foot. Given the stakes, anything less just isn’t good enough. You already know that cocaine addiction is a ruinous disease. Now you know what you can do to overcome it. Your first day in a drug treatment center will be the day you start remembering that tomorrow can and should be a thing worth looking forward to.

I am always a bit suspicious about the motivations of people who want comments posted about a different type of treatment, or who come with pot-shots against Suboxone.

But the point of my blog is to educate people (that better be the point, as it certainly isn’t a money-maker!), so I will share the material and let people decide what is right for themselves.

So here’s Dr. Z’s roundup of the top five health scams of 2008: Kinoki Detox Foot Pads Kinoki and all other so-called detox foot pads top the list because of the sheer audacity involved in their shameless marketing and the utter lack of either a scientific basis through which they might work or any medical studies proving that they do.

It’s so popular there that bananas literally fly off the shelves as fast as they can be stocked. But you should be forewarned, Japan is known for its fad diets and there have been many others before this one that also were so big they caused product shortages. And, of course, like all fad diets, this one will likely lead to some weight loss in the short run but will fail in the long run, which is why they are always replaced by the next crazy idea. But this one actually has a hidden nugget of gold called resistant starch that I’ll explain a little later. So what is the Morning Banana Diet? Like all fad diets, ther...

Now the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) has called off the study, as reported in today’s Associated Press. The statement says the agency decided the money would be better used testing other potential therapies for autism and related disorders. The study had been on hold because of safety concerns . A study published last year linked a chemical used in the treatment to lasting brain problems in rats. Chelation is based on the unproven notion that mercury in vaccines can be linked to autism. It’s also noted that a study on chelation—–in which heavy metal are removed from the body—-would be tantamount to an “unethical experiment on chil...

Considering the attention devoted by some “autism activists” (Safe Minds etc.) to the belief that vaccines or something in vaccines, like the mercury-based preservative thimerosal, can be linked to autism, there would indeed be some competition for, I don’t know, “most mad about mercury” and “best talking about detoxing autism.” Jenny McCarthy—now starting up a lifestyle line of non-toxic products—would be a fair contender, as would Evidence of Harm author David Kirby who has again and again “rebranded autism”—-renaming it vaccine-transmitted mercu...

But that’s not the way it works. The truth is that Los Angeles Oxycontin detox is and must be a personal process, and can only succeed by virtue of a personal effort. If you’re going to get better, in other words, it’s going to be because you find the strength to work for it.
