A vitrectomy is simply the removal and replacement of the vitreous, or the fluid that fills the eye. While this is a fairly simple procedure, proper recovery techniques are very important. While you should always follow your doctor's advice, there are several steps you can expect to be told...more

Addictions are pervasive in our culture. And addictions to alcohol or drugs aren't the only ones out there. Addiction to shopping, sex, gambling, video games, are but a few.Addictive habits are forms of dependence. They are habits- performed time after time- done so often, they are performed in involuntary or compulsive fashion.Ask any addict how hard it is to break a habit. One reason these habits are so hard to break is the physiological basis for addiction. Diana Schwarzbein, MD, does a stellar job in articulating these physiological mechanisms in "The Schwarzbein Principle".(Diana Schwarzbein, MD, Nancy Deville, Health Communications, Deerfield Beach, FL,1999)Many substances that people are prone to become dependent on tend to lower serotonin levels in the brain. Examples include high glycemic carbohydrates, alcohol, and street drugs, such as methamphetamines and cocaine; even stimulants like caffeine results in lowered serotonin in the brain. Lowered serotonin, as we know, leads to depression and the tendency to increase craving. Typically we seek what is easy and what is available to us. If alcohol isn't available, we will reach for chocolate. Or, we will resume smoking, if...more

There isn't much that can be done to alter the attitude of addicts; they cannot truly be helped until they decide they are ready. But once they adopt this mindset (usually after they have hit rock bottom), they must receive comprehensive care that treats all of their issues, from the core cause through to the symptom. Quick fixes simply do not work.Medical detox is an important first step in addiction recovery. When a person has been habitually exposing his body to certain substances over a long period of time he can become chemically dependent on them. When he is denied his fix he will get extremely sick; vomiting, excessive sweating, seizures, muscle pain, anxiety and insomnia are common symptoms of this withdrawal. This process is so unbearable that addicts who try to quit on their own almost always relapse. That is why it is crucial for patients to enter a medical detox facility where they can be helped through this ordeal under the supervision of trained health professionals. Once the drugs have been cleansed from the addict's system, he must undergo psychological analysis to determine the cause of his addiction. 75% of people who become dependent on drugs or alcohol do so...more
