Welcome to the Pulse Three-Point-Twenty-One: In this episode we hone in on a very serious chronic condition that affects eighteen point two million Americans. We're talking about alcoholism. It's defined as drinking alcoholic beverages at a level that interferes with physical health, mental health, and social, family, or job responsibilities. The summer months are often full of parties and a party atmosphere, so we're taking a moment to highlight how to drink responsibly. In this video you'll hear about the very basics when it comes to having an alcoholic drink. The liver metabolizes one drink every hour, so if you're drinking more than that, the extra alcohol circulates through your body. You'll also hear how different factors can affect how alcohol interacts with your body and brain. It is possible to consume alcohol at a healthy level; but you need to be aware of factors that make it more difficult for you to drink responsibly. A family history of alcoholism as well as ethnicity, physical fitness and prescription medicines can all influence the way alcohol affects you. In this video Liz shares her very personal alcohol addiction story. Liz talks about how she started binge drinking in high school and continued into college, where she would drink three to four times per week. She describes times when she would blackout, wake up with hangovers and finally a time when she drove drunk. Listen to Liz's story, her road to recovery and Dr. Trey Causey's response to Liz's ...

For more information about binaural beats go to: cli.gs Addiction is a very painful process that can disrupt lives and -if left unchecked- even claim them. You know you need to stop, but it's so difficult to get started. It may feel like your body is out of control, unable to stop craving and giving in, but you can take it back. The mind is in control of everything the body does, and that includes cravings. It's sometimes difficult to find sympathy, even from your own mind. Several systems are on the market proclaiming success in quitting addiction. All the systems in the world, however, are not going to help you unless your brain gets on board both consciously and subconsciously. You can quit by programming your mind to succeed. To better understand how our Entrainment Program will help you, we first have to take a look at how addiction works. After engaging in an activity or using a drug over time, the brain actually begins to associate the behavior in the Limbic System with Dopamine production. This Dopamine acts as a "reward" to our bodies, and makes us feel good for engaging in the addictive behavior. As we continue to use this substance, the brain no longer produces as much Dopamine as it normally would, and we get "physically" addicted. We begin to feel a dopamine deficiency when we don't engage in the behavior. This creates a difficult to break cycle that over time is psychologically strenuous to the sufferer. Before, we had to depend on the brain to understand ...

John Bradshaw leads audiences through an emotional and powerful meditation on Healing the Shame That Binds You - Championing and Reclaiming Your Inner Child. This meditation helps people feel their feelings, escape from their damaged past and reclaim and heal their lives. An abusive, neglectful, traumatic or shamed childhood can lead us to become mood altering addicts, t though sex, love, food, alcoholism, drug or substance addictions and many other behaviors we see emerging with our children like cutting. The brain is simply pruned through our exposures to dysfunctional parenting imprinting our amygdala and causing us to act out in response to situations that we may not even be conscious of, much like a post traumatic stress disorder response. It contaminates so many behaviors and relationships in our adult lives. This meditation is very revealing and healing. This is only a small part of the meditation. The complete meditation and workshop can be found on www.johnbradshaw.com or 713-771-1300. www.johnbradshaw.com
Meth Inside Out is a groundbreaking video-based treatment curriculum on methamphetamine addiction and recovery. The series is designed to equip meth users, their families, and the professionals who assist them with a solid understanding of the biological basis of addiction, effective tools for recovery, and, most importantly, hope for the future.
Drug tolerance is contextual. It can vary, depending on the external environment and even the thoughts of the user. The key idea is that tolerance-related drug potency increases in unfamilar environments or mental states. There is much research that bears this out, with experiments going back to at least 1975. Overdoses are even thought to have occurred as a result. This suggests that tolerance often has a strong element of learning, despite what many students in my substance abuse classes inititally think. You should see their faces. This obviously has implications for addiction, as the higher the tolerance to an addictive drug, the lower the pleasure of using, but the more severe the negative consequences for abstaining. And of course, many seemingly hold the idea that familiar environments in which drug use occurs tempt addicted users. Hence, the encouragement given to many substance abuse patients is to avoid such environments, along with changing some of the ways they think about their addictions and any related problems. Perhaps the danger of patients using in novel contexts with increased enjoyment is often overlooked as a risk for relapse. Any "highs" addicted users enjoy are not the only experiential aspects that suffer tolerance. There are many other physiological effects that are also context-dependent. For example, the antinociceptive(pain relief) effects of opiates. Interestingly, there is a flip side of learned tolerance. This involves the use of cues for ...

Renita Pitts grew up in the projects in Kansas City. She was a drug addict on welfare, and she and her children were homeless at times. Renita said she felt dumb most of her life because of her learning disabilities, but she turned her life around at age 36 when she went back to school. After embracing her disabilities and attending a college with Learning Disability accommodations, she is now earning a bachelors degree and has been on the deans list.
This is a song about Ritalin. I am dedicating it to Frank, who you will see in the photos during the bridge.I didn't know him personally, but Frank was given Ritalin as a child and also grew up to be a drug addict. He committed suicide in his late twenties. Ritalin has been shown to increase the risk of drug addiction later in life. It has also proven to cause permanent brain changes and has never been shown to actually improve school outcome. These are just a few of the concerns with Ritalin. Drug addiction ruins lives. Why would you give a child a medication that increases their risk of becoming a drug addict, just for some short-term benefits, mainly to make the child more manageable by adults? What kind of a trade-off is this. As a mother, this is a great concern to me, especially given that Ritalin is being handed out like candy in what is being called a 'global initiative' to 'help' children (according to the Canadian Guide to Medications and Supplement). Children are often put on Ritalin at the request of a teacher, not a doctor. The doctors just comply with the school's wishes in such cases. There have even been cases of people having their children removed by CPS for refusing to medicate them with Ritalin. In one study of children on Ritalin, 6% of the subjects became psychotic from their 'treatment'. Drug addiction, death, psychosis...What are we doing? If my child were diagnosed with ADD, the first thing I would look into would be his nutritional status and any ...

Dr. George Pratts interview on emotions and the brain from Debbie Fords movie The Shadow Effect
Dr. Hal Urschel discusses the Diane Schuler tragedy with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb. Specifically, he discusses the negative effects of marijuana usage and how, although it may not be a "gateway drug," different people become hopelessly addicted to different drugs-- so a very real danger still exists.
Dr. Harold Urschel, author of the New York Times best selling book Healing the Addicted Brain, joins The Doctors to discuss new treatments which can essentially cure addiction by preventing the harmful substances from entering the brain!
Definition of Addiction - "Addiction: A chronic relapsing condition characterized by compulsive drug-seeking and abuse and by long-lasting chemical changes in the brain. Addiction is the same irrespective of whether the drug is alcohol, amphetamines, cocaine, heroin, marijuana, or nicotine. Every addictive substance induces pleasant states or relieves distress. Continued use of the addictive substance induces adaptive changes in the brain that lead to tolerance, physical dependence, uncontrollable craving and, all too often, relapse. Dependence is at such a point that stopping is very difficult and causes severe physical and mental reactions from withdrawal. The risk of addiction is in part inherited. Genetic factors, for example, account for about 40% of the risk of alcoholism. The genetic factors predisposing to addiction are not yet fully understood. " Source: www.medterms.com
