ARTArticleOver-the-Counter Abuse - Beware!Not too long ago, four local elementary school children ended up on respirators in the ICU after they each took 20 Coricidin tablets to get high. It was a good 36 hours before they were out of the woods. What started out to be an afte oon of fun, turned out to be a life-and-death struggle for the children and their parents. So, if you think that people (including kids) do not abuse over-the-counter drugs, think again. In my practice, I’m seeing this kind of abuse more and more. Hey, it’s cheap and it’s accessible (and, therefore a real problem).ARTArticlePeople Have Twice Less Body Oxygen Than a Century Ago: Medical ResearchLow body oxygenation is a common feature for all chronic conditions.

Moving as it does in a spiral, our life-time processes will lead us to revisit that old friend called anger again and again, with ever increasing refinement.ARTArticleSecure Your Workout Future: The Top Fitness Insurance Plans For Every NeedFitness insurance is a vital component of any health and wellness journey.

Basically all people with anorexia or bulimia can recall being shamed or ashamed several times before their disorder began. Shame is complex. It extends from small things like parents or teachers saying to someone that she/he is a bit overweight and needs to lose weight, or to something more serious like physical or sexual assault. For a young vulnerable person even a wrong look or an inappropriate comment can be shameful and it can trigger control mechanisms in the brain.ARTArticleShort term effects of bulimia.People often ask me about different side effects of bulimia: about short term, long term and the most dangerous ones.

They are creeping more and more into mainstream. Turn on a radio station or even watch a movie and the chances are fairly high that you will hear one. But there is another 4 letter word in the English language that has the ability to transform your life. Granted it doesn’t fit into the same category as the ones I was referring to above, which is a good thing as this one has more power.

These forces arise within our social and familial structures. We are sent repetitive messages and they become deeply engrained. We may have been told we are not attractive or too attractive, not motivated or too achieving, etc. And we enter the social sphere having absorbed these messages. As we do so we begin a painful process of comparisons. There becomes a striving for something or sometimes nothing at all.ARTArticleThe Rising Trouble of Meth Addiction Among TeensHow much do your youngsters know about the risks of Meth dependency?
