Alternative Medicine in Newburgh Helps Ease the Pain Caused by COPD

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or COPD is a treatable disease that primarily affects the lungs.  The effect of COPD on the rest of the body is aptly referred to as “extrapulmonary effects” which contribute to the patient’s discomfort and severity of COPD.  In About Health, RN Deborah Leader reports on how alternative medicine in Newburgh is helping patients manage chronic pain:

How To Stop Pain Safely



How To Stop Pain Safely (some of this was taken from Consumer Reports Volume 26 Number 2.  Dr. Huntoon’s comments and advice are in bold)

Are you worried about the new warnings on pain drugs?  What you need to know to get relief

If you open up your medicine cabinet, your purse or your briefcase, chances are you will find at least one type of pain reliever there.  From over-the-counter drugs for headaches and muscle strains to powerful pills prescribed to control pain after surgery, those drugs are everywhere.  In fact, almost 80 % of adults say they take some form of pain medication at least once a week.

Determining which pain drug we actually need (I say none, but read on) and how to use it, has become an increasingly difficult decision.  We’ve seen frightening headlines about many pain relievers, including some that you may have considered harmless.  In 2012, the Food and Drug Administration proposed that labels of products containing acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, carry stronger warnings saying that the drug could cause severe liver damage if users exceeded the recommended daily maximum dose (And yet they still allow it to be sold, which to me is perplexing, if too much causes liver damage, then any amount also leads to some level of liver stress.  And if the person taking the pain reliever doesn’t know this, then they are creating more health concerns with a medication that has been approved by the FDA).  Even before that announcement, the maker of Tylenol reduced the maximum daily dose on Extra Strength Tylenol to 3,000 milligrams from 4,000 milligrams, and increased the dose interval from 4 to 6 hours, amid reports of increases in accidental overdoses. (So let me get this straight: There were reports of overdosing, yet instead of pulling the product completely, they simply changed the label and changed the recommended dosage and timing of the medication on the label.  If one can overdose on a medication, shouldn’t they restrict its availability to prescription only?  Wouldn’t that make sense?  But let’s go on.)

The news on prescription pain pills is even more worrisome.

About 1 in 3 U.S. adults—as estimated 68 million—have high blood pressure1, which increases the risk for heart disease and stroke, leading causes of death in the United States.2

High blood pressure is called the "silent killer" because it often has no warning signs or symptoms, and many people don't realize they have it. That's why it's important to get your blood pressure checked regularly.

The good news is that you can take steps to prevent high blood pressure, or to treat it if it is already high.

Blood pressure normally rises and falls throughout the day, but it can cause health problems if it stays high for a long time. Having high blood pressure raises your risk for heart disease and stroke, leading causes of death in the United States.1

How Do You Give Your Power Away?



How Do You Give Your Power Away?

We are all guilty of it.  We give our attention to something we are unhappy with, uncomfortable with, do not like, or would prefer not to experience.  We all have thought about the "worst case scenario" and even gone as far as making contingencies for what we would do if the "worst" happened.  My question relates to how much time during our day, week or month do we spend time thinking about and focusing on other people's concerns when we do not have any control over what will ultimately happen for them?  It becomes a HUGE ENERGY DRAIN! 

I'm sure, if you are like many, you do it and are not even aware that you are doing it.  Understanding that you do it, becoming aware of it, acknowledging it is the first step to changing that energy drain.  And by changing that energy drain through eliminating it, this will create the basis for improving your health and giving you abundant energy to focus on those things you do have control over and can affect in your favor.  It will create the basis for life improvement vs. continuing to live lives of struggle and putting out fires every day.  It will eliminate the destructive and degenerative emotions of worry, fear and paralyzed will.  It will set the tone for more happiness, more joy and more laughter. 

Laughter....this is what we all used to do freely and openly as children.  Look about you and see the children in our lives without a care that concerns them.  They make up games, they always play, and they enjoy their time doing just about anything.  They are in learning mode and understanding mode.  They experiment.  They have ideas, brilliant ideas that they never consider could not occur.  They live in a world of fantasy and inspiration, being a creative being, expressing from their heart, their true heart's desire.  They approach life with passion and enthusiasm and create results that make them happy.  They live the life we are all meant to live.  And they do this when we leave them alone and simply allow them to "be."  When was the last time you did that for yourself?  I imagine, if you are like most, you have not done it since you were a kid.  And that is far too long to go without that passion for creativity.

So what happened to you? To read more, click here
