Quantum Brain Healing uses ear acupuncture with needles, electricity, or laser therapy for managing addiction withdrawal. Ear acupuncture with laser therapy has the highest success rate in addiction recovery for most people. For those who cannot tolerate laser therapy, ear acupuncture with needles or a hand held electrical device that is used on specific addiction points and brain points is fairly successful in managing addiction withdrawal and recovery.

The cases that did well involved therapy five days per week for a month and three times per week for six months to a year afterwards. This is not inexpensive and many working people do not have the ability to get intensive treatment. Many of these studies were for drug addicts that were in prison. Many acupuncturists work on addiction recovery, but most of them are unaware of the level of frequency required for true recovery.

Many are unwilling to present this as an option due to the high expense. If you want a fairly successful recovery with approximately a thirty to seventy percent chance of winning the drug addiction battle, it does require extremely intensive treatment.

Eating addictions do not require this intensive level of treatment and two or three times per week may be very successful when combined with amino acid therapy. Expect eating addiction treatment to take nine to twelve months. Laser therapy works really well and should be tried where available. This laser is done with a Class III Medical Grade Cold Laser by Luminex or Thor Laser. Ask your medical professional about the specifics about their laser. The small pen sized lasers are too small to work well.

Dependence-inducing substances and recreational drugs cause concentrations of dopamine to rise in the surroundings, which in turn affects other nerve cells and brings about various physical and mental reactions. One way to diminish the desire for drugs is blocking the dopamine producing nerve cell’s  glutamate receptors. Dopamine-producing nerve cells are central to the brain’s reward system. This will cause cravings for cocaine to slow or stop. Herbal formulas can be used for this purpose or specific amino acid combinations including 5-HTP and GABA.

Health and fitness is the prime concern for many people in the modern world. This can be due to the increasing awareness about health care and body fitness among the people. General failing health of the members of the society can also be one of the reasons why people are now paying more attention to health and fitness to prevent suffering from the same fate.

This awareness has particularly become very common among women of all ages probably because it is a woman’s nature to look beautiful and attractive, and these health issues can cause a hindrance in this objective. It has been commonly observed that the overall health of women declines more rapidly than men as they become older. They may also have many associated problems which have a higher chance of occurrence among women than men of the same age, for example arthritis.

These days’ women pay a lot of attention to their health and join many fitness programs to maintain their health and overall body fitness.

There are many reasons besides age factor which may cause health problems and hormonal imbalance among women. However, there are a few tricks by which they can delay this downfall in health.

Diet plays a very important part in the overall fitness and strength of women. There are many women who do not pay much attention to their diet, and though they may look fine in their youth, they would have to suffer dire consequences as they get older. Lack of general strength and losing the toned shape of the body are two of the most prominent problems faced by women these days.

Some women are very cautious about their diet but they do not even overdo dieting, nor do they consume excessive calories. Such women are always successful in maintaining a well balanced and healthy life. The key to success is balance in everything you do, and excess of anything is dangerous for everyone. If you consume too many calories and keep on eating junk food, then fat starts to accumulate in the body and may cause diseases like heart and liver problems, not to mention the destruction of a toned body as well.

On the other hand, if you limit the food and calorie intake too much, then there is a chance of developing general weakness which will create problems in old age in the form of weak bones, aching joints, and hormonal problems. Hormonal problems are also caused by fat accumulation in the body. The fatty acids produced cause a hormonal imbalance, and thus make it hard to get rid of all the extra fat.

Non-organic dairy products are very dangerous for health because these products are made from the milk of cows which are treated with hormonal medicines and steroids which are in turn present in the milk. They have adverse effects on the female hormonal system, and thus an imbalance may be created which might even trigger hormonal changes to occur at an earlier stage than they would have under normal conditions.

Products like coffee, cold drinks, sugar, black tea, etc are also very dangerous for the hormonal system. They have a negative impact on the hormonal system, and thus create an imbalance in the hormones. Proper exercise would also benefit the body and burn extra fats in the body thus ensuring a longer healthier life.

Basically the gluten is composed of the sticky storage proteins and these are found in wheat. Gluten-sensitive enteropathy or the GSE ranges from mild inflammation of mucosa the small intestine to severe coeliac diseases also.Diagnosis Hence gluten-sensitive or allergies are applicable when a probable diagnosis is done based on some conditions. These conditions include dermatitis herpetiformis and other related conditions. There are chances that these allergies to gluten can result in anaphylaxis and there are times when it can be difficult to diagnose the same. This happens because of some of the cryptic inflammatory properties of wheat proteins which make it difficult to diagnose the same.

In this reference gluten allergies and sensitivity’ is typically applied when diagnostic testing is not done. Since the prolonged gluten-free diet prior to biopsy leads to these reactions, the allergy testing can be difficult. These gluten allergies are not appropriate in all cases because many of the wheat allergies are often directed toward albumins or globulins. Here the person may have sensitivity to proteins like fungal amylase or bread-yeast mannins. The relationship between gluten and these various allergies are complex but this sensitivity should have a defined cause. Gluten allergy is also known as celiac disease and an immunologic condition. Here the patient is allergic to the protein found in wheat products along with barley and rye. Hence this gluten allergy can cause a reaction in a person’s intestine and they are relatively common. This is very similar to the reaction that the skin experiences when exposed to poison ivy. Gluten allergies affect both children and adults and common symptoms include gastrointestinal problems like abdominal pain along with fatigue and weight loss.Diagnosis Those who are suffering from gluten allergies should be very cautious and they should carefully read food labels. This is essential to be aware of what you’re eating to avoid allergic reactions. The most common allergic reactions to a gluten allergy can lead to severe reactions and conditions such as eczema and asthma. The reaction to gluten may cause anaphylaxis, where the body may react with a severe outbreak of hives and swollen windpipe. Those who are suffering from these allergies should avoid all wheat products that may contain gluten like cooking flours, bran, farina and semolina and all the products made from the same. Even though medical treatment can be availed in case of allergy outbreaks, it is best to avoid these foods, which contain gluten, to get rid of these allergies and avoid reactions that result because of the same.

I have seen many children over the years in my practice who have something that is called Hyperkeratosis Pilaris. You can describe Hyperkeratosis Pilaris as bumpy skin often called “chicken skin” that is found on the back of the arms, on the cheeks or even on the upper thighs. One thought is that this is caused by an accumulation of skins cells in those particular areas and may also be due to heredity. One thing that seems to work well to treat this issue is to get what is called a buff puff pad and to run the areas that are affected by the bumps. Another theory as to the cause of Hyperkeratosis Pilaris is that it has to do with low thyroid function and the inability to convert beta carotene into vitamin A.

So we do see hypothyroidism as another potential contributing factor to Hyperkeratosis Pilaris.

If you are open to running blood tests for your child then there are a couple of different ones that you can look at. One test is called a TSH test and that stands for thyroid stimulating hormone and you can also run a free T3 and free T4. And for ideal thyroid functioning, we really want to see the T3 and T4 levels, especially the T3 levels, in the upper two thirds of the normal range. There are other thyroid assessments which can show the overall functioning of the hypothalamus as well as the connection with the pituitary but those are more costly and more invasive for just a lab setting. So, overall, I feel that the TSH and the free T3 and free T4 are good tests to run.

You also want to correlate the issue of Hyperkeratosis Pilaris with other signs and symptoms of a possible thyroid issue such as low body temperature, constipation, a child who always has cold hands and cold feet, etc. And at that point, thyroid medication may be something to consider. I like to use Armorthyroid since it is a more natural form of thyroid medication instead of the more synthetic forms. But the medication can improve immune function which then bolsters overall metabolism as well as brain function. So if your child has Hyperkeratosis Pilaris, it is one possible sign of an under active thyroid and should be looked into with proper blood testing.
