Hair Analysis: A New Methodology of Addiction Treatment and Drug Rehab Technology At G & G Holistic Addiction Treatment Center

G & G Holistic Addiction Treatment Center in South Florida has a new innovative treatment called hair analysis that is currently being offered. The advent of hair analysis is an individual can be told, down to the molecular level what their body is in need of. However, just knowing that there are deficiencies is not enough. Once these deficiencies are noted, the next step for an individual to take is remedying the current problems through balancing and supplementation.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) April 2, 2008

G & G Holistic Addiction Treatment Center in South Florida has a new innovative treatment called hair analysis that is currently being offered. The advent of hair analysis is an individual can be told, down to the molecular level what their body is in need of. However, just knowing that there are deficiencies is not enough. Once these deficiencies are noted, the next step for an individual to take is remedying the current problems through balancing and supplementation.

Toxins are present in the air we breathe, in the water drunken on a daily basis, on the streets and in our homes. There are also undesirable components present in the food we eat and the water we drink. A few of these components include things like food preservatives, chemical additives, pesticides. Prescription antibiotics are taken, in some cases, on a daily basis by individuals for whatever reason. The end result is the same, the population as a whole, consumes things that can be detrimental to their health.

When speaking of bad health habits, drug abuse (http://www. addictionsearch. com) comes to mind. Most people may not think of addiction as a poor health habit, but that is essentially what it is. Introducing drugs and alcohol into ones system just adds on to all of the other potentially unavoidable toxins most people come into contact with. Of course, there is your run of the mill treatment centers that use standard methods of support groups and detoxification as their primary methodologies to help cure addiction. For those individuals however, who would like to address all components of addiction, Holistic Addiction Treatment Center (http://www. holisticdrugrehab. com) in South Florida has a new innovative treatment called hair analysis that is currently being offered. In order to better understand and appreciate the relevance and effectiveness of hair analysis let us first discuss the basics.

The Link Between Protein and Brain Functioning
Modern diets are high in carbohydrates and low in protein and are in need of intervention (http://www. druginterventions. net). This is disadvantageous for a few reasons. The focus of this conversation will include the importance of proteins, which are made of what are known as amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of neurotransmitters (neuro refers to brain and transmitters transmit or relay information. So, neurotransmitters relay information in the brain). Neurotransmitters in turn are responsible for proper brain functioning. This means if protein consumption is not adequate either because there is an excess or a deficiency of protein, body functioning may not be up to par.

Body functioning refers to energy level, cognitive function as well as other factors one cannot necessarily feel or see. Most people, when feeling bloated or swollen will correlate that their body may not, for instance, be producing the necessary enzymes to properly break food down. What can in turn occur is a backing up in the intestines of waste matter which can lead to a slew of other problems. An issue like this is can be remedied as can issue with hypo or hyper secretion of transmitters. Neurotransmitters secretions are influenced by psychological and physiological components. For instance, neurotransmitters may be released more or less depending on an individuals physical or emotional stress level. Genetic factors may also influence release of neurotransmitters as well as sensitivity to different toxins. Having said all that, though encouraging improved eating habits as well as exercise incorporation is important, there is a technique that can assist in pointing an individual in the proper direction. And it all begins with a strand of hair.

One Hundred Year Old Arsenic?
Hair is made up of amino acids and has been found to hold much useful information for years on end. For instance, there was a case of a Colonel Lafayette Baker, who was chief of the secret service, died in 1868. Col. Baker's hair shafts were analyzed nearly a century after death and arsenic was found. As it turns out, his brother in law had been lacing his beer with arsenic for a few months prior to death. This was confirmed by Mrs. Baker's diary which mentions her finding a few vials of arsenic in her brother's coat pocket. If hair analysis can provide information about something that occurred over a century ago, it stands to reason that testing a strand of hair now to determine what components the body is lacking or perhaps has too much of would be quite feasible. The next question would be exactly what can be found, and how much can it help me?

The advent of hair analysis is an individual can be told, down to the molecular level what their body is in need of. However, just knowing that there are deficiencies is not enough. Once these deficiencies are noted, the next step for an individual to take is remedying the current problems through balancing and supplementation. This is to say, their maybe certain things that an individual is consuming that should be eliminated. Likewise, certain vitamin and minerals which are essential for proper amino acid structure maybe lacking and need to be supplemented. If guidelines are followed and certain deficiencies are corrected this should leave to overall improved cognitive and general physiological functioning.

A Pioneer in The Field
This type of analysis is not widely used or known by the medical community at large. There are maybe a few individuals who are skilled in both the medical and naturopathic realms who can perform hair analysis and properly read and interpret the results. At the G & G Holistic Addiction Treatment Program they are able to combine conventional medical knowledge with cutting edge techniques. They are able to read results, provide a 'prescription' consisting of changes in eating, and proper nutrient supplementation which will provide a proficient change in an individual's biochemical makeup.

More Than One Use
To make matters more interesting still, hair analysis can be used not only for general health issues, but also for behavioral disorders such as ADD and ADHD. Other uses of hair analysis include treatment for depression, anxiety and addiction (http://www. addiction. cc). In all of these disorders, it is acknowledged that neurotransmitters are not functioning properly. Such treatment, when combined with psychotherapy, and consistently followed, can lead to better health overall.

The Collaboration of Innovative Thinkers
In regards to addiction specifically, Holistic Addiction Treatment Center is currently working very closely with top researchers in offering the addicted individual treatments that incorporates natural integrative therapies beneficial for both the mind and body. The treatment, when incorporated with all Holistic Drug Rehab (http://www. holisticdrugrehab. com) has to offer, gives addicted individuals a chance toward obtaining long term sobriety. Perhaps the best part of a program like Holistic is it is tailored to fit the individual and that leads to a better prognosis overall. So if you or someone you know is currently struggling with addiction, and you are interested in this innovative technology, the G & G Holistic Addiction Treatment Program would be a good place to start on the road to recovery.

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) September 18, 2007

ChefShop. com, a premier online gourmet food retailer, announces its support of The Jasmine Foundation (http://www. jasminefoundation. org/) by contributing 5 percent of Yellingbo Gold olive oil revenues to the foundation. The Jasmine Foundation provides relief to orphans of the December 2004 tsunami in civil war-torn Sri Lanka. Australia's Three Bridges Olive Grove, the producer of Yellingbo Gold olive oil, contributes 5 percent of all olive oil revenues to the foundation.

Howard and Jeremy Meltzer of Three Bridges Olive Grove produce an artisanal extra-virgin olive oil called Yellingbo Gold. "We absolutely love the olive oil," said Tim Mar, President and co-owner of ChefShop. com. "A few weeks back, we had the opportunity to get to know Howard's son, Jeremy, and we heard some amazing stories about the tsunami and Jeremy's participation in the relief efforts. Jeremy's two sisters were both in Southeast Asia when the tsunami hit, and although they both survived, many others were not so lucky. Jeremy's stories of the tsunami and its aftermath moved us to tears."

In the months following the disaster, a friend of Jeremy's established the Jasmine Foundation, and Jeremy became its director. The foundation focuses on getting aid to war-torn eastern Sri Lanka, where few other agencies will go because of the dangerously volatile political situation. "The Jasmine Foundation is doing some very important work," said Mar. "We feel honored to be able to help the foundation financially, and help get the word out about what they're doing."

Illinois Hospital Installs Touchless Automatic Door Switches from Larco for Added Infection Control in New Surgical Suite

Illinois Hospital Installs Touchless Automatic Door Switches from Larco for Added Infection Control in New Surgical Suite

As a Catholic hospital located in Spring Valley, Illinois, St. Margaret’s Hospital takes a holistic and compassionate approach to health care. Here, patients can receive everything from cancer treatment or surgical procedures to pastoral care. Here, too, surgeons and other operating room personnel can access new surgery rooms with just a wave of their hands, thanks to the Larco U-WAV™ touchless sensor switch for automatic doors.

Spring Valley, Illinois (Vocus) January 27, 2010

St. Margaret’s Health, the premier provider of healthcare services in the Illinois Valley, recently completed a brand-new surgical suite consisting of three major surgery rooms and two cystoscopy rooms as part of St. Margaret’s Hospital. In this suite, surgical patients benefit from the latest technology including the C-Arm, fiber-optic scope and computerized anesthesia units. The new enclosed suite was also designed to be a highly sterile environment -- so the doctors, administrators and facility managers at St. Margaret’s wanted to find an automatic door solution that would keep incoming germs to a minimum.

Greg Rowley, a veteran service technician who works at Advanced Door Control Solutions Inc., has installed and serviced most of the automatic doors at St. Margaret’s. After testing a new product sample from Larco and comparing it to competitive products, Greg ordered and installed the U-WAV touchless sensor to activate the main access doors to this surgical area.

Touchless access switch is a hygienic solution

Ideal for sterile environments such as operating rooms or clean rooms, the U-WAV sensor switch provides a complete hygienic solution for many different applications, including activation of automatic doors, lighting controls or call points. The switch works by sensing motion -- the wave of a person’s hand -- at a selectable detection range from 4 to 20 inches.

According to Rowley, the Larco U-WAV is an ideal solution for St. Margaret’s surgery suite because it allows doctors and nurses to enter and exit the surgery suite without touching any door handles or activation switches. He says, “In a sterilized surgery area, doctors don’t want to touch anything they don’t have to.” In addition to great performance, Greg says the U-WAV “looks great” in the state-of-the-art facility, with a low-profile and sleek design that blends into its surroundings.

U-WAV touchless sensor switches are part of the automatic door products line from Larco. Larco, a division of ATEK Products, provides a wide range of sensor products for automatic doors, industrial safety and other applications. For more information about the hygienic and safety benefits of the U-WAV Touchless Switch from Larco, visit the Web site at http://www. larco. com.

The Detroit Free Press also honored Priority Health as one of the best Michigan health plans by rating the plan with an A+.

"Priority Health has extended their nationally recognized services into comprehensive Web-based resources for its members," said Craig Froude, chairman and CEO of WellMed, Inc. "It has been rewarding to work with such an exemplary and progressive health care network that is truly committed to improving the way members approach their health and health care."

Priority Health took a methodical approach to developing a Web-based program that is aligned with its member needs.

According to Coastal's executive vice president Phil Price, Anthrax Awareness is the first of seven training videos in Coastal's new Responding to the Threat of Terrorism series. ``Following the attacks in New York and Washington, our customers started requesting products that could help them protect their employees from terrorist threats,'' Price said. ``We realized that this issue was something all corporations, hospitals, schools and government would be forced to face.''

Other video titles in the Responding to the Threat of Terrorism series include:

 -- Biohazard/Chemical Attack

 -- Facility Security: The Critical Link

 -- Emergency Action Plan

 -- Biohazard Health Risks for Healthcare

 -- Diversity

 -- and Fear

``We produced Anthrax Awareness in three weeks and a day,'' said Coastal vice president of production Nancy Kondas, ``from beginning research to final edits.'' That compares with a routine production schedule of six months.

Dynamic Imaging Tops MD Buyline Rankings for the Fourth Straight Quarter

Dynamic Imaging Tops MD Buyline Rankings for the Fourth Straight Quarter

One Year of IntegradWeb PACS Customer Satisfaction Leadership

(PRWEB) April 16, 2007

Allendale, NJ, April 16, 2007--Dynamic Imaging (www. dynamic-imaging. com), an established leader in Web-based image and information management, has topped MD Buyline's user satisfaction rankings for four straight quarters, sustaining its position as the PACS industry's customer service leader.

MD Buyline Full Intelligence Report for PACS updates its independent rankings quarterly based on evaluations by network members, who represent 3,200 hospitals. Since MD Buyline (www. mdbuyline. com) published its second-quarter 2006 report last July, Dynamic Imaging has maintained the highest composite user satisfaction score of the 10 PACS vendors evaluated, including DR Systems, Agfa, Fuji, Amicas, Kodak, Siemens, GE, McKesson, and Philips.

"These results demonstrate that our customers appreciate Dynamic Imaging's dedication and expertise," said Alex Jurovitsky, CEO of Dynamic Imaging. "There is a significant gap in the PACS market today with the majority of companies delivering old technology packaged with a substandard suite of services. Dynamic Imaging is proud to remain the market leader in acute care for the past year, while, in contrast, our competitors have experienced significant variability."

IntegradWeb® PACS is a prime example of what MD Buyline calls the "winning combination"--an affordable price point combined with the highest user satisfaction. "On that basis, Dynamic Imaging offers the best value on the market," Jurovitsky said.

For the fourth quarter of 2006, Dynamic Imaging earned a composite user satisfaction score of 9.0 on a 10-point scale. IntegradWeb PACS also topped five of MD Buyline's seven individual evaluation categories as compared to all other vendors, scoring 9.2 in product flexibility, applications training, and service support; 9.1 in system performance; and 8.8 in installation/implementation.

In addition to acute care, IntegradWeb PACS was ranked the #1 PACS by ambulatory care providers, according to the annual Ambulatory/Imaging Center PACS 2006 Report, November 2006, by KLAS (www. healthcomputing. com), an independent industry analyst. This was the second straight year Dynamic Imaging IntegradWeb PACS received this top honor from KLAS.

"Health systems, community hospitals, radiology practices, and imaging centers are all taking note of Dynamic Imaging's consistently high scores and they are hearing good things from colleagues using our system," Jurovitsky said. "In fact, over 25 percent of our existing customers are second - and third-generation PACS users. That is a telling percentage, reflecting the industry's appreciation for our cutting-edge solutions from discriminating, experienced users."

The Center, which rescues and rehabilitates ill, injured or orphaned marine mammals, is celebrating its 25th anniversary of this popular benefit event. Run for the Seals is a self-timed, four-mile fun run/walk that winds through the beautiful ocean-view hillsides of Rodeo Beach in the Marin Headlands. The event is open to everyone including runners, walkers, baby strollers and dogs on leash. Race day registration and check-in begins at 7:30 a. m. All participants and spectators should arrive at Rodeo Beach by 8:30 a. m., before the road closes. Activities prior to the run begin around 8 a. m. and the starting horn will sound at 9 a. m. KFOG radio's Peter Finch will host the event and spin tunes straight from the KFOG archives. San Francisco Giants mascot "Lou Seal" will also be on hand to pose for pictures and kick off the official start of the race.

"A quarter of a century after its inception, The Marine Mammal Center's Run for the Seals has become a tradition in the community. It continues to be a fun way for the Center's volunteers, staff and the community to come together to raise money and get a bit of exercise at the same time," said Jim Oswald, The Marine Mammal Center's Communications Manager. "In addition, it's a great way to introduce spectators and participants who were not familiar with us, to the various aspects of our work and to encourage them to become ocean stewards."

Online registration is available now at www. runfortheseals. org through March 3 for $32. After March 3, register race-day for $34. Please note that the main road in and out of the Marin Headlands will be closed to vehicle traffic between 8:45 a. m. and 10:45 a. m. so participants should arrive early to enjoy all of the fun and the start of the race.

The run will start and finish at The Marine Mammal Visitor Center, building 1049 located at Rodeo Beach. A digital courtesy clock at the finish line will enable runners to see their times. The funds saved from timing expenses will pay for a two-month's supply of fish and multi-milk formula for patients. Proceeds from the event will benefit The Marine Mammal Center. Medals will be awarded to top finishers in various age categories and all registrants will receive a commemorative Run for the Seals T-shirt. A prize for the best marine mammal costume will be awarded as well.

About The Marine Mammal Center:
Headquartered in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area in Sausalito, California, The Marine Mammal Center is a nonprofit veterinary hospital, research and educational center dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of ill and injured marine mammals -- primarily elephant seals, harbor seals and California sea lions -- and to the study of their health. Patients that become healthy again are released back to the ocean. Since 1975, the Center has rescued and treated more than 13,000 marine mammals and has accumulated a body of knowledge about marine mammal and ocean health from its patients. By educating the public about marine mammals, the Center hopes to foster ocean stewardship and conservation. For more information, visit www. marinemammalcenter. org

New Colorado Collaboration Award will Offer $50,000 to Nonprofit Organizations for Excellence and Innovation

New Colorado Collaboration Award will Offer $50,000 to Nonprofit Organizations for Excellence and Innovation

A group of diverse Colorado funders have made a commitment to award $50,000 to a nonprofit collaborative that exemplifies excellence and impact.

Denver, CO (Vocus/PRWEB) January 20, 2011

Collaboration is hard -- it takes time, money, trust, and work. But when two or more organizations effectively join forces, their combined impact can be incredible. That’s why a group of diverse Colorado funders have made a commitment to award $50,000 to a nonprofit collaborative that exemplifies excellence and impact. "While foundations each have an individual approach to giving, they increasingly work together to tackle the biggest challenges facing our state," said Joanne Kelley, executive director of the Colorado Association of Funders. "The nonprofit organizations that foundations support also recognize the value of working together. This award will help identify some of the most successful examples of collaboration already under way."

Based on the national “Collaboration Prize,” created by the Lodestar Foundation, the Colorado award will recognize the collaborative efforts based on a lens of nonprofit best practices, as well as through a funder’s lens of examining community impact. The goal of the Colorado Collaboration Award is also to build a platform for ongoing dialogue about best practices, challenges, and opportunities. “When nonprofits work together, we can serve the community more effectively than when we work alone,” said Renny Fagan, president & CEO of the Colorado Nonprofit Association. “The Colorado Collaboration Award will recognize great collaborations and we hope it will encourage nonprofits to work together more often and more effectively.” Every group who will apply has a story, and that story can be a jumping off point for discussion with others who have similar goals.

The collaborations will be evaluated by a team of nonprofit, foundation, business and government representatives based on the following criteria:
the depth of collaboration demonstrated and significant impact innovation in addressing a specific challenge or opportunity serving as a model others can replicate effective community engagement as part of the process operating in accordance with nonprofit best practices

Applications are available at http://www. ColoradoCollaboration. org]. The deadline for submission is April 15th, 2011. The selection committee will choose the winning collaboration in August with the award presentation taking place at the Colorado Nonprofit Association’s Fall Conference in October, 2011.

About the Collaboration Partners:

Housed with the Colorado Nonprofit Association and in collaboration with the Colorado Association of Funders, the following partners have made commitments to the award: Anschutz Family Foundation, Boettcher Foundation, The Colorado Health Foundation, Community Shares of Colorado, Daniels Fund, The Denver Foundation, Denver Office of Strategic Partnerships, El Pomar, Gill Foundation, Gay & Lesbian Fund for Colorado, Kaiser Permanente, Kenneth King Foundation, The LARRK Foundation, The Women’s Foundation of Colorado, and Xcel Energy Foundation.

Alkyl Transfactor™ Omega 3 Shark Liver Oil from SeaBiotics Ind. Business Partner, Linda Nelson

Mullan, ID (PRWEB) September 7, 2005

Alkyl Transfactor™ is the result of combining highly purified Omega 3 marine oil, highly purified deep ocean shark liver oil, and a natural lemon flavor.

Alkyl Transfactor™ contains:

• 1000mg of Omega 3 Fatty Acids

• 525mg of EPA

• 325 of DHA

• 150mg of other Omega 3 Fatty Acids

• 300mg of Alkyglycerols

• 300mg of Squalene

1 tsp. = (10) 500mg. capsules.

SeaBiotics™ products are completely free of detectable contaminates.

EPAs are involved in normal physiology, including:

regulating pressure in the eye, joints, and blood vessels, and mediating immune response regulating bodily secretions regulating circulation Balances Hormones regulating smooth muscles and autonomic reflexes being primary constituents of cell membranes regulating the rate of cell division maintaining the fluidity and rigidity of cellular membranes regulating the inflow and outflow of substances to and from cells transporting oxygen from red blood cells to the tissues maintaining proper kidney function and fluid balance keeping saturated fats mobile in the blood stream preventing blood cells from clumping together (blood clots that can be a cause of heart attack and stroke) mediating the release of inflammatory substances from cells that may trigger allergic conditions regulating nerve transmission and communication If the diet is deficient in either omega-6 or omega-3 long-term degenerative illnesses will result. Shark liver oil has been described as "an excellent source of alkylglycerols, squalamine and omega-3 PUFAs providing a multitude of health benefits".

Women in particular gain from an increased intake of omega-3 fatty acids, according to a new study, which found that supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids might help to prevent preeclampsia, postpartum depression, menopausal problems, postmenopausal osteoporosis and breast cancer, among others.

Elevated triglyceride levels are associated with cardiovascular disease, especially in women; and because omega-3 fatty acids have powerful effects on triglycerides, women in particular gain from an increased intake of these fatty acids. This is especially important in women receiving hormone therapy, which can increase triglyceride levels.
