Case Upon - The Importance of the Amino Acids in Substance Abuse Recovery and Relapse Prevention Revised
When you borrow money, one of the most important things to consider is the interest rate you will be paying. This is the money you pay to the bank in return for them lending you money. It is like a fee. You never see it again.But it is much more. It is determined by three major factors.1. The Federal Reserve Discount Interest Rate.The first factor, the Federal Reserve Discount Interest Rate, actually has nothing to do with you. It is totally outside of your control. Banks and other lending instutions don't simply lend you money. They have to borrow this money from Federal Reserve Banks. The discount rate is the interest rate the institution pays the Federal Reserve Bank for a short-term loa
Let me just say starting out - I am not a Doctor, Psychiatrist, or even a Counselor. However, I have gotten through 7 years of Major Clinical Depression. Sounds ominous, doesn't it? It is, but somehow I am making it with my sense of humor intact.Here is my story; I started on this road RIGHT after I gave birth to my first and only child. Doctors would call how I felt Post-Partum Depression....later to become Major Clinical Depression. I, however, called it Hell on Earth. I don't think there is much in this world as sad as when you have a beautiful, perfect baby and you don't feel a connection to her. Kind of like the stork brought her and know you aren't sure what to do with her. You feel TERRIBLY guilt
I have studied alternative medicine for 15 years or more, and have learned about the importance of diet and nutrition in the treatment and prevention of many “dis-eases”. I have personally corrected many chronic ailments within my own body, from Lupus to arthritis, to Fibromyalgia. I fully believe that if we give our bodies what they need, they will heal themselves. This belief is based in my own personal experience.
But what about addictions to harmful substances? There are addictions to marijuana, cocaine, heroin, ecstasy and a myriad of other “recreational” drugs. But equally as devastating to ones health and well-being are addictions to other, legal substances, such as alcohol, prescription drugs (anti-depressants and pain-killers), tobacco, caffeine, sugar, chocolate and refined, fatty foods. What is causing us to need or crave these substances? Well, our brains. Not our thinking, but our brain chemistry itself.
Our brains consist of tiny chemicals called neurotransmitters. These neurotransmitters include epinephrine and nor-epinephrine, GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid), serotonin and dopamine. They are closely tied to addictive behavior and addictions to many of the above mentioned substances. When in ample supply, these chemical neurotransmitters cause us to feel good…that wonderful feeling of well-being we all desire and strive to maintain. But when our neurotransmitters are depleted and/or are being re-absorbed by our brain’s receptor sites too quickly, we reach automatically for something that will make us feel better by increasing these chemicals. This can be achieved through many substances, and is especially true alcohol, which is why alcoholism is so rampant in our society. It is a legal
There are many cell phone deals available on the market today. Each deal is different, and it is very important for someone choosing a cell phone connection to understand them so that they can get the best deal. One needs to compare cell phone deals before he or she goes in for a connection.The most important thing to compare in these deals is obviously the cost of the calls and other charges like the charge for short message service (SMS). Usually, prepaid cell phone deals are more expensive in this matter, since it does not involve a minimum time period guarantee and other fees may be involved with it.However, for those who sign a contract with companies for payments that are made monthly, there

How does 100% off the cost of next year’s health insurance premium sound? This is on offer through the Prudential Insurance Company’s Pruehealth. They offer their Comprehensive Plan and here are the details, based on a 40 year old non smoker in good health: The monthly payment for a male would be ?62.85 and for a female ?66.43, there is an excess of ?100. The premium is reduced if you gain “vitality” points and this is how it works:At the end of the first year there is a discount of 25% and you earn further points and therefore further discounts, by improving your health. Measures such as reducing your blood pressure, taking fitness assessments and regularly visiting the gym are encouraged. Cheap gym me

As someone who has sat on countless teacher interview committees I can honestly say that I am still surprised at how many potential teachers get the "classroom management" question wrong.The truth is...how you answer the "classroom management" question can be the difference between getting that perfect teaching job or not.Without a doubt, at some point in your teacher interview you will be asked some type of classroom management question. Such as, "How do you handle classroom management issues?"This is an extremely important question.However, like I said, this is where many potential teachers fail the interview.Here are some tips...First of all, make sure you clearly ex

I recently led a series of intro calls for a book-writing program I'm leading at CoachVille.Most people who showed up on the calls had been thinking about writing their book for a year or so. Not a surprise.I was surprised, however, to discover how many people on the calls had started thinking about writing their book five or six years ago ... but still hadn't done it. Wow.So ... what's getting in the way?Could be just about anything. Creative block. Fear. Lack of knowledge, or information. Procrastination. No support. Time management (or lack thereof!). Other priorities. Lack of confidence. Maybe all of these...In thinking about it, one word kept coming up fo
So, what causes our brains to loose the ability to naturally take care of ourselves via neurotransmission? Deficiency, plain and simple. A deficiency in possibly many nutrients, trace elements and essential fatty acids, but primarily in this case, amino acids. What are amino acids? The organic molecules that are the building blocks of proteins in our body. There are 20 different kinds of amino acids in living things. Proteins are composed of different combinations of amino acids assembled in chain-like molecules. Amino acids are primarily composed of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen. Each protein consists of a different sequence of amino acids linked together according to the genetic information encoded in DNA.
Many are manufactured by the body, but there are also many “essential” amino acids that are not manufactured by the body and must come from our diet. An example is L-Tyrosine. This essential amino acid restores the brain chemicals norepinephrine and dopamine. Deficiencies of this amino acid can cause cravings for caffeine, speed, cocaine, marijuana, aspartame (artificial sweetener), chocolate, alcohol, tobacco, sugars and starches, which also increase nor-epinephrine and dopamine, temporarily. Symptoms of deficiency of L-Tyrosine are depression, low energy, lack of focus and concentration and ADD/ADHD (attention deficit disorder
