Coding therapy for alcohol abuse.

Introduction:

Coding for alcohol addiction involves the implantation of Disulfiram-based drugs (Esperal Disulfiram, Tet Long, Antabuse, etc.) into the body, which provide a chemical blockade of the enzyme – alcohol dehydrogenase – and block ethanol-oxidative activity, inhibit the splitting of highly toxic ethanol containing substances, their metabolites and decomposition products in the body. This is the only adequate and justified method that ensures a stable continuous protection of the body to alcohol, enhances the therapeutic effect of the primary treatment.

How do these medications work?

The drugs used for coding are Disulfiram or Esperal; provide a constant therapeutic concentration of the blocker in the body, inhibiting the process of alcohol biochemical breakdown. Once alcohol or alcohol-containing food products enter the blood, it triggers an instant response from disulfirame, i.e. symptoms of acute alcohol intoxication (poisoning), which is manifested by: 

  • severe dizziness and general weakness, chills, double vision;
  • skin reactions – itching, urticaria, hyperhidrosis;
  • nausea, retching, often severe vomiting;
  • cardiac reactions – abrupt interruptions in cardiac functions;
  • shortness of breath, asthma attacks, up to a complete lack of breath;
  • Impairment or loss of consciousness – often collapse, stupor, coma.

 These symptoms are extremely unpleasant, dangerous for humans, and can lead to irreversible consequences!

Contraindications:

Coding for alcohol addiction is possible only in the absence of the following contraindications: 

  • Pregnancy, breastfeeding (lactation);
  • Pathological diseases (oncology, etc.);
  • Acute cardiovascular disorders (heart attack);
  • Acute cerebral circulation disorders (stroke, hemorrhage);
  • Acute hepatic and/or renal failure, active cirrhosis;
  • Skin infections at the proposed site of the implantation;
  • Mental illness and disorders (schizophrenia, dementia);
  • Individual intolerance to drugs (based on Disulfiram and/or Naltrexone), after additional testing.

Possible negative consequences:

Coding can cause negative consequences only in the case of consuming alcoholic beverages and alcohol-containing products.

 An alcohol blocker makes the patient immediately experience its effect and feel a severe discomfort with the corresponding consequences: 

  • severe headache;
  • convulsions, seizures;
  • nausea, vomiting;
  • allergic reactions;
  • panic attacks;
  • cardiovascular and respiratory disorders;
  • Loss of consciousness, collapse.

Other methods that have been used for aversion therapy include:

  • Electrical shock.
  • Another type of physical shock, like from a rubber band snapping.
  • An unpleasant smell or taste.
  • negative imagery (sometimes through visualization)
  • Shame.

Conclusion:

Coding therapy along with aversion therapies can significantly help in reducing intractable alcohol addiction and give lasting health benefits to people with alcohol addiction.

Introduction:

Naprapathy is a holistic medicine practice focused on caring for the connective tissue—our hardworking muscles, tendons, fascia, intervertebral discs, cartilage, and ligaments.

Conditions Naprapathy Can Address:

Some common musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders successfully treated through Naprapathic Medicine include:

  • Back Pain
  • Tension Headaches
  • Neck Pain
  • Migraine Headaches
  • Hip Pain
  • Disc Herniation
  • Leg Pain
  • Tennis Elbow
  • Sciatica
  • Golfer’s Elbow
  • Shoulder Pain
  • Neuropathy
  • Rotator Cuff Injuries
  • Strains
  • Sprains
  • Knee pain
  • Chronic fatigue syndrome
  • Arthritis
  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Bursitis

WHY MANIPULATION?

The Common denominator in any disease is stress. Under stressful conditions, connective tissues such as muscles, ligaments and tendons contract. As these tissues shrink, normal function within the area decreases. Blood circulation and nerve pathways become constricted or irritated. Clinical studies have suggested that with manipulation and stretching be qualified practioners, these constricted or irritated pathways will have the opportunity to return to the normal state needed by healthy bodies.

Similarities and differences between naprapathy and chiropractic therapy:

The treatment is similar to chiropractic therapy, but the difference is that chiropractors work more on manipulating the joints. A chiropractor is also more focused on the spine. Naprapaths work in a wider area and they treat muscles and joints from a more general perspective. But one form of therapy does not exclude the other. Depending on the location of the pain and the type of problems that arise, both types of treatment can help. One of the areas of naprapathy that resembles chiropractic therapy strongly is joint manipulation. If a joint is painful, usually in the back, both professionals can correct it. They do this using rapid pressure with the hands on the affected area. This often creates a joint snap – a sound associated with chiropractic treatment.

Conclusion:

When judiciously combined with other manipulative therapies, Naprapathy offers an exciting and effective modality for connective tissue disorders.

Recreational therapy.

Introduction:

Recreational therapy uses leisure activities to help people with specific health conditions improve their skills, abilities, overall health, and emotional well-being.  Recreational therapists work with you and your healthcare team to set health goals and develop a plan to meet your needs.

 Recreational therapy can take place in a variety of settings, including:

  • hospitals
  • schools
  • inpatient and outpatient mental health facilities and programs
  • skilled nursing facilities
  • assisted living facilities
  • sports programs
  • substance use programs
  • correctional facilities
  • community centers

Some of the activities that may be part of a recreational therapy program include:

  • art
  • music
  • sports games
  • video games
  • board games
  • animal interactions
  • dance and movement
  • gardening
  • storytelling
  • creative writing
  • drama
  • cooking classes
  • community and cultural outings

Recreational therapy benefits people of all ages. It’s often used to help people who are:

  • recovering from a stroke
  • rehabilitating from an injury, illness, or surgery
  • working to improve motor skills
  • learning to carry out the activities of daily living independently
  • being treated for cancer
  • experiencing anxiety or worry in a hospital setting
  • feeling isolated or depressed

  • Recovering from a substance use disorder.
Uses of Recreational therapy:

Recreational therapy has wide-ranging positive impacts on your physical and mental health. This is especially the case when the therapy is designed around your individual interests and needs.

Improves symptoms of depression

Many therapeutic recreation programs get people up and moving and stimulating their minds with engaging, creative tasks.

Increases self-esteem

Research shows that recreational therapy may help improve a person’s self-confidence and self-esteem.

Strengthens social connections

Illness, injury, and disability can limit your ability to interact with people. Recreational therapy provides opportunities to engage with other people in positive ways, which can counteract feelings of isolation.

Improves functional independence after an injury

In many cases, a serious injury can affect your ability to do routine tasks. Taking care of your home, exercising, playing with your children or grandchildren — these activities may be difficult or impossible after an injury.  Recreational therapy can make a difference in the level of functional independence after a serious injury.

Increases strength and physical fitness

Recreational therapy often includes exercise, games, dance, yoga, tai chi, and other kinds of movement may help improve your balance, physical strength, and flexibility.

Boosts cognitive abilities

It’s important to bear in mind that recreational therapy can’t fully restore areas of the brain that have been permanently damaged.

Relieves anxiety for children who are hospitalized

Therapeutic play gives children opportunities to build positive relationships with hospital staff, to talk about their feelings, and to develop a sense of control and confidence at a time when they may be feeling vulnerable.

Conclusion:

Recreational therapy uses leisure activities to promote recovery from illness, injury, or disability. Activities might include art, dance, music, exercise, creative writing, and games of all types.

Working with a trained recreational therapist can improve your mood, reasoning abilities, memory, physical fitness, and self-confidence. Researchers believe the combination of physical movement, creativity, social interaction, and mental engagement helps to deliver this wide range of health benefits.
