Theyare usedto preventthe rejectionof transplantedorgans, butalso totrack changesin thelymphocyte subpopulations.
It isreasonable toexpect similarnew drugsin thefuture.
Assuch, itis oneof themost potentimmunosuppressive substancesand isclinically usedto controlthe steroidand/or polyclonalantibodies resistantacute rejectionepisodes.
Foracting morespecifically thanpolyclonal antibodies,it isalso usedpreventively intransplantations.
Presently,the OKT3'saction mechanismis notyet sufficientlyunderstood.
Itis characterizedby fever,myalgia, headacheand artralgia.
This lowersthe numberof Tcells, perhapsby sensitisingthem forthe uptakeby thereticular epithelialcells.
CD3antibodies alsoshift thebalance fromTh1 toTh2 cells.
Deciding whetherto useOKT3(R) inthe treatment,it istherefore necessarynot onlyto considerits greateffectiveness, butalso itstoxic sideeffects: therisk ofexcessive immunosuppressionand therisk thatthe patientdevelops neutralizingantibodies againstthe drug,making itinefficacious.
Theyare usedin theprophylaxis ofthe acuteorgan rejectionafter thebilateral kidneytransplantation, bothbeing similarlyeffective andwith onlyfew sideeffects.
Generalinformation:cyclosporin Togetherwith tacrolimus,cyclosporin isa calcineurininhibitor.
Ithas beenin usesince 1983and isone ofthe mostwidely usedimmunosuppressive drugs.
It isa fungalpeptide, composedof 11amino acids.
Cyclosporin isused inthe treatmentof acuterejection reactions,but hasbeen increasinglysubstituted withnewer immunosuppressants,as itis nephrotoxic.
Tacrolimus isa fungalproduct (Streptomycestsukubaensis).
Itis amacrolide lactoneand actsby inhibitingcalcineurin.
Thedrug isused particularlyin theliver andkidney transplantations,although insome clinicsit isused inheart, lungand heart/lungtransplants.
Itbinds toan immunophilin,followed bythe bindingof thecomplex tocalcineurin andthe inhibitionof itsphosphatase activity.
In thisway, itprevents thepassage ofG0 intoG1 phase.
Tacrolimus ismore potentthan cyclosporinand hasless pronouncedside effects.
Sirolimus isa macrolidelactone, producedby theactinomycetes Streptomyceshygroscopicus.
Itis usedto preventrejection reactions.
Although itis astructural analogueof tacrolimus,it actssomewhat differentlyand hasdifferent sideeffects.
Contraryto cyclosporineand tacrolimusthat affectthe firstphase ofthe Tlymphocyte activation,sirolimus affectsthe secondone, namelythe signaltransduction andtheir clonalproliferation.
Itbinds tothe samereceptor (immunophilin)as tacrolimus,however theproduced complexdoes notinhibit calcineurin,but anotherprotein.
Therefore,sirolimus actssynergistically withcyclosporine and,in combinationwith otherimmunosuppressants, hasfew sideeffects.
Indirectlyit inhibitsseveral Tlympohocyte kinasesand phosphatases,preventing thetransmission ofsignal intotheir activityand thetransition ofthe cellcycle fromG1 toS phase.
Similarly, itprevents theB celldifferentiation tothe plasmacells, whichlowers thequantity ofIgM, IgGand IgAantibodies produced.
It actsas animmunoregulatory agent,and isalso activeagainst tumorsthat involvethe PI3K/AKT/mTORpathway.
Generalinformation:Interferon.
Itis usedto slowdown theprogression ofmultiple sclerosis.
Prolonged useof opioidsmay causeimmunosuppression ofboth innateand adaptiveimmunity.
Decreasein proliferationas wellas immunefunction hasbeen observedin macrophagesas wellas lymphocytes.
It isthought thatthese effectsare mediatedby opioidreceptors expressedon thesurface ofthese immunecells.

They areused inthe treatmentof rheumatoidarthritis, ankylosingspondylitis, Crohn'sdisease andpsoriasis.
TNFor theeffects ofTNF arealso suppressedby variousnatural compounds,including curcumin(an ingredientin turmeric)and catechins(in greentea).
Thesedrugs mayraise therisk ofcontracting tuberculosisor inducinga latentinfection tobecome active.
Infliximab andadalimumab havelabel warningsstating thatpatients shouldbe evaluatedfor latentTB infectionand treatmentshould beinitiated priorto startingtherapy withthem.
Incontrast toother humancell types,lymphocytes Band Tare verydependent onthis process.
FTY720 isa newsynthetic immunosuppressant,currently inphase 3of clinicaltrials.
Inthis respect,it differsfrom allother knownimmunosuppressants.
Thescope ofpharmacy practiceincludes moretraditional rolessuch ascompounding anddispensing medicationson theorders ofphysicians, andit alsoincludes moremodern servicesrelated topatient care,including clinicalservices, reviewingmedications forsafety andefficacy, andproviding druginformation.
Pharmacists,therefore, areexperts ondrug therapyand arethe primaryhealth professionalswho optimizemedication useto providepatients withpositive healthoutcomes.
Pharmacologyis sometimesconsidered afourth disciplineof pharmacy.
Although pharmacologyis essentialto thestudy ofpharmacy, itis notspecific topharmacy.
Thereforeit isusually consideredto bea fieldof thebroader sciences.
There arevarious specialtiesof pharmacypractice.
Specializationin pharmacypractice istypically basedon theplace ofpractice orpractice rolesincluding: community,hospital, clinicalpharmacy, consultant,locum, druginformation, regulatoryaffairs, industry,and academia.
The AmericanBoard ofApplied Toxicologycertifies pharmacistsand othermedical professionalsin appliedtoxicology.
Pharmacistsare representedinternationally bythe InternationalPharmaceutical Federation(FIP).
Theyare representedat thenational levelby professionalorganisations suchas theRoyal PharmaceuticalSociety ofGreat Britain(RPSGB), thePharmacy Guildof Australia(PGA), andthe AmericanPharmacists Association(APhA).
Seealso: Listof pharmacyassociations.
Insome cases,the representativebody isalso theregistering body,which isresponsible forthe ethicsof theprofession.
Sincethe ShipmanInquiry, therehas beena movein theUK toseparate thetwo roles.
Sabur IbnSahl (d869), was,however, thefirst physicianto initiatepharmacopoedia, describinga largevariety ofdrugs andremedies forailments.
IbnSina, too,described noless than700 preparations,their properties,mode ofaction andtheir indications.
He devotedin facta wholevolume tosimple drugsin hisCanon.
Livingin thetenth century,he wroteThe foundationsof thetrue propertiesof Remedies,amongst othersdescribing arseniousoxide, andbeing acquaintedwith silicicacid.
Hemade cleardistinction betweensodium carbonateand potassiumcarbonate, anddrew attentionto thepoisonous natureof coppercompounds, especiallycopper vitriol,and alsolead compounds.
Community pharmaciesusually consistof aretail storefrontwith adispensary wheremedications arestored anddispensed.
Thedispensary issubject topharmacy legislation;with requirementsfor storageconditions, compulsorytexts, equipment,etc., specifiedin legislation.
Where itwas oncethe casethat pharmacistsstayed withinthe dispensarycompounding/dispensing medications;there hasbeen anincreasing trendtowards theuse oftrained pharmacytechnicians whilethe pharmacistspends moretime communicatingwith patients.
In manyjurisdictions, itis alsoa requirementthat theowner ofa pharmacymust bea registeredpharmacist (R.Ph.).
This latterrequirement hasbeen revokedin manyjurisdictions, suchthat manyretailers (includingsupermarkets andmass merchandisers)now includea pharmacyas adepartment oftheir store.
In additionto medicinesand prescriptions,many nowsell adiverse arrangementof additionalhousehold itemssuch ascosmetics, shampoo,bandages, officesupplies, candy,and snackfoods.
Pharmacieswithin hospitalsdiffer considerablyfrom communitypharmacies.
Somepharmacists inhospital pharmaciesmay havemore complexclinical medicationmanagement issueswhereas pharmacistsin communitypharmacies oftenhave morecomplex businessand customerrelations issues.
Because ofthe complexityof medicationsincluding specificindications, effectivenessof treatmentregimens, safetyof medications(i.e., druginteractions) andpatient complianceissues (in thehospital andat home)many pharmacistspracticing inhospitals gainmore educationand trainingafter pharmacyschool througha pharmacypractice residencyand sometimesfollowed byanother residencyin aspecific area.
Those pharmacistsare oftenreferred toas clinicalpharmacists andthey oftenspecialize invarious disciplinesof pharmacy.
For example,there arepharmacists whospecialize inhaematology/oncology, HIV/AIDS,infectious disease,critical care,emergency medicine,toxicology, nuclearpharmacy, painmanagement, psychiatry,anticoagulation clinics,herbal medicine,neurology/epilepsy management,paediatrics, neonatalpharmacists andmore.
Hospitalpharmacies canusually befound withinthe premisesof thehospital.
Hospitalpharmacies usuallystock alarger rangeof medications,including morespecialized medications,than wouldbe feasiblein thecommunity setting.
Hospital pharmacistsand trainedpharmacy technicianscompound sterileproducts forpatients includingtotal parenteralnutrition (TPN),and othermedications givenintravenously.
Thisis acomplex processthat requiresadequate trainingof personnel,quality assuranceof products,and adequatefacilities.
Somehospital pharmacieshave decidedto outsourcehigh riskpreparations andsome othercompounding functionsto companieswho specializein compounding.
Clinical pharmacistsoften collaboratewith Physiciansand otherhealthcare professionals.
Compounding isthe practiceof preparingdrugs innew forms.
For example,if adrug manufactureronly providesa drugas atablet, acompounding pharmacistmight makea medicatedlollipop thatcontains thedrug.
Patientswho havedifficulty swallowingthe tabletmay preferto suckthe medicatedlollipop instead.
Consultant pharmacypractice focusesmore onmedication regimenreview (i.e.
This trendmay begradually reversingas consultantpharmacists beginto workdirectly withpatients, primarilybecause manyelderly peopleare nowtaking numerousmedications butcontinue tolive outsideof institutionalsettings.
Somecommunity pharmaciesemploy consultantpharmacists and/orprovide consultingservices.
Sinceabout theyear 2000,a growingnumber ofInternet pharmacieshave beenestablished worldwide.
The primarydifference isthe methodby whichthe medicationsare requestedand received.
Some customersconsider thisto bemore convenientand privatemethod ratherthan travelingto acommunity drugstorewhere anothercustomer mightoverhear aboutthe drugsthat theytake.
Internetpharmacies (alsoknown asOnline Pharmacies)are alsorecommended tosome patientsby theirphysicians ifthey arehomebound.
Whilemost Internetpharmacies sellprescription drugsand requirea validprescription, someInternet pharmaciessell prescriptiondrugs withoutrequiring aprescription.
Manycustomers orderdrugs fromsuch pharmaciesto avoidthe "inconvenience"of visitinga doctoror toobtain medicationswhich theirdoctors wereunwilling toprescribe.
However,this practicehas beencriticized aspotentially dangerous,especially bythose whofeel thatonly doctorscan reliablyassess contraindications,risk/benefit ratios,and anindividual's overallsuitability foruse ofa medication.
There alsohave beenreports ofsuch pharmaciesdispensing substandardproducts.
Ofcourse ashistory hasshown, substandardproducts canbe dispensedby bothInternet andCommunity pharmacies,so itis bestthat thebuyer beware.
However, thereare Internetpharmacies inmany othercountries includingIsrael, Fijiand theUK thatserve customersworldwide.
Inthe UnitedStates, therehas beena pushto legalizeimportation ofmedications fromCanada andother countries,in orderto reduceconsumer costs.
While inmost casesimportation ofprescription medicationsviolates Foodand DrugAdministration (FDA)regulations andfederal laws,enforcement isgenerally targetedat internationaldrug suppliers,rather thanconsumers.
Thereis noknown caseof anyU.S.
Canadiandrugs forpersonal usewith aprescription, whohas everbeen chargedby authorities.
Nuclear pharmacyfocuses onpreparing radioactivematerials fordiagnostic testsand fortreating certaindiseases.
Nuclearpharmacists undergoadditional trainingspecific tohandling radioactivematerials, andunlike incommunity andhospital pharmacies,nuclear pharmaciststypically donot interactdirectly withpatients.
Inmost jurisdictions(such asthe UnitedStates), pharmacistsare regulatedseparately fromphysicians.
However,the AmericanMedical Association(AMA) Codeof Ethicsprovides thatphysicians maydispense drugswithin theiroffice practicesas longas thereis nopatient exploitationand patientshave theright toa writtenprescription thatcan befilled elsewhere.
In Canadait iscommon fora medicalclinic anda pharmacyto belocated togetherand forthe ownershipin bothenterprises tobe common,but licensedseparately.
Thereason forthe majorityrule isthe highrisk ofa conflictof interest.
A campaignfor separationhas begunin manycountries andhas alreadybeen successful(like inKorea).
Asmany ofthe remainingnations movetowards separation,resistance andlobbying fromdispensing doctorswho havepecuniary interestsmay provea majorstumbling block(e.g.
Malaysia).In thecoming decades,pharmacists areexpected tobecome moreintegral withinthe healthcare system.
In theUnited Kingdom,pharmacists (andnurses) whoundertake additionaltraining areobtaining prescribingrights.
Theyare alsobeing paidfor bythe governmentfor medicineuse reviews.
In addition,consultant pharmacists,who traditionallyoperated primarilyin nursinghomes arenow expandinginto directconsultation withpatients, underthe bannerof "seniorcare pharmacy."
Pharmacyorganizations oftenuse othersymbols, suchas theBowl ofHygieia, conicalmeasures, andcaduceuses intheir logos.

An invisibledog fenceis awire concealedabout yourproperty thatensures thedog cannotgo outsidethe safetyof itsground.
Electronicdog fencesare morethan simple.
The wiremoves asignal originatingfrom asmall unit.
The dogwears aparticular collarreceiving anelectrical shockif itdraws nearthe wireor crossesthe fence.
More specifically,these electricalsignals arefrequently zoned.
When thedog approachesa warningzone anywhereabout thewire, itwill heara warningaudio signalcoming fromcollar.
Ifit getseven closer,it willsuffer abuzz froma tinyelectrical impulsevia thecollar.
Thesefences arewithout difficultyadjustable andcan beset upto beappropriate forany dogand anyarrangement establishedby theowner, includingthe distancesof boththe warningand thecorrection zones.
In addition,the intensityof theelectrical impulsecan bemodified tomatch thesize andtemper ofthe dog.
This electronicfence caneffectively detaindogs withinthe owner'sproperty andadditionally helpthem learnto knowtheir boundaries.
Upon catchinga handfulof shocks,the dogis routinelytrained bythe systemto keepaway fromthe boundariesof theproperty.
Theyare regulatedby thecollar thedog iswearing, andthe specifiedareas thedog isallowed tostay in.
What isexcellent aboutunderground fencesis thefact thatthey canvery easilybe wiredand programmedto guardalmost anydelicate spaceof yourhome whichis exposedto theplayful tomfooleryof yourlively dog,such asgardens, swimmingpools, driveways,fish ponds,flowerbeds andother sensitiveareas.

Doghealth isa domainthat hasdeveloped considerably.
Specialists havetraced newaffections andhave establishednew, correspondingtreatments.
Mealsshould provideyour petwith allthe necessaryvitamins, proteins,carbs, mineralsetc.
Dogfood hascome along wayand thenewly appearedproducts onthe marketare theresults ofyears ofresearch ofthe necessitiesof canines.
Some stillfeed theirdogs withleftovers fromtheir ownmeals andexpect itto beenough.
Sadly,it isthis kindof reasoningthat leadsto commondog healthproblems suchas obesity,malnutrition andvarious malfunctionslike arthritis,lack ofenergy, orhypersensitivity.
Adog dietshould compriseall theelements thatmake ahuman organismwork, includingwater.
Wateris underratedwhen itcomes toanimals, butwhat thesepeople donot knowis thatanimals canresist forsome timewithout food,but theyresist alot lesswithout water.
Along theyears, dogfood hasevolved.
Now,those whocare associateit tohow manycalories thedog needsto makeit throughthe day.
Usually, nowadays,a commondog dietincludes mostlydry food.
Served inthe appropriateamount andat theright time,this typeof dogfood canbe thecomplete mealfor thedog.
Therefore,things arenot sosimple andleftovers arenot theright typeof dogfood.
Thephysiological conditionrefers tohow activethe dogis, howmuch exerciseit does,what stageof lifeit isin andother factorssuch asbreeding.
Afterthe evaluationof allthese things,one islikely tobe ableto composea properdog diet.
The doghealth systemcan doso muchfor youand yourpet.
Inorder toget allthese equationsinterpreted correctly,as apet owner,you shouldundoubtedly visitthe vet.

Adverse reactionsto prescriptiondrugs areoccurring atalarming ratesin U.S.
It wasknown backin 1994that over2.2 millionhospital patientshad seriousadverse drugreactions (ADRs).
That sameyear, 106,000patients diedfrom anadverse reactionto adrug.
Inthe Journalof theAmerican MedicalAssociation, whichpublished theseresults, researcherssaid, "Theincidence ofserious andfatal adversedrug reactionsin UShospitals wasfound tobe extremelyhigh."
That wasin 1998.Today, ADRsare stillon therise.
By2003, theratio hadgrown toone in9,000.
AdverseDrug ReactionsOne ofthe LeadingCauses ofDeath TheJAMA studyreported that,in 1994,adverse drugreactions werebetween thefourth andsixth leadingcause ofdeath inthe UnitedStates.
Morerecently, astudy publishedin theNew EnglandJournal ofMedicine foundthat onein fourpatients isplagued byside effectsfrom prescriptionmedications.
It'sa problemthat iscommon, inmany casesthe impactcould beprevented orreduced, andit hasa largeimpact onpatients," saidTejal Gandhi,lead authorof thestudy andan internistat Brighamone ofthe causescan beattributed toa deficiencyof certainneurotransmitters inthe brainthat signalfrom onenerve cellto another.
The immunesystem ofa depressedperson isusually verylow andtherefore ineffectivelyresponding todiseases, includingcancer.

Tamperingsigns areeasily noticeablewith thestricter guidelinesin packaging.
Supplements andnutrition aids,like otherOTC drugs,are nowrequired tofeature packagingdesigns thatare noteasily imitated.
These designsrun thegamut fromspecial stickers,patterns, illustration,symbols, orlogo withspecial characteristics.
Of course,these tampertricks requireconsumers tobe familiarwith theoriginal designof thebox orbottle.
Capsulesupplements arerequired tohave twosafety measures.
Aside fromthe specialcontainer features,they arealso requiredto sportspecial wrappers,inner containers,and perdosage pouches.
However, likewith allsecurity measures,these arenot foolproof.
Basic commonsense isneeded toavoid buyingtampered products.
When buyingmedicine, supplementsand nutritionaids, considerthe packagingstyle.
Theseare usuallysupplements inbottles.
Sincethe bottlesare dark,it isdifficult todetect tampering.
Plain stickersare easyto duplicate,but thosethat featureholographic designsare not.
Be suspiciousof productsthat don'thave this;the manufacturersdo notwant toencourage vigilancein theconsumer.
Ofcourse, donot purchaseproducts thatlack thesepackaging traits.
Check andexamine thecontents ASAP.
Discoloration, uncharacteristicfoul smell,and curdlingof contentsshould bereported immediately.
To beon thesafe side,consult yourdoctor beforetaking anysupplements andnutrition aids.
Research aboutthe differentmakes andfamiliarize yourselfwith theirappearance.

Ina 3year clinicalstudy outof Denmarkthat included21 differentcountries, peoplewho wereat highrisk toacquire diabeteswere 60%less likelyto contractthe diseasewhile takingAvandia.
Thestudy included5,269 peoplethat weretreated at191 clinicsthroughout theworld.
Theaverage ageof participantswas 55,of whichall had"evidence ofprediabetes witheither impairedfasting glucose(blood sugar)or impairedglucose tolerance.
Having prediabetesputs youat highrisk fordeveloping type2 diabetes."
Halfof thepatients received8 milligramsof Avandiaand theother receiveda placebo.
Only 306people takingAvandia developeddiabetes ordied ofany cause,whereas 686of theparticipants takingthe placebodeveloped diabetesor died.
The amountof riskthat wasreduced byAvandia wasmore thandouble thatof anyother medication.

Just abouteveryone inour societyis addictedto something.
Addictions cantake manyforms: SUBSTANCEADDICTIONS: addictionto alcohol,recreational drugs,prescription meds,caffeine, nicotine,food, sugar,carbohydrates.
Wheneverwe engagein anactivity withthe intentionof avoidingour feelings,we areusing thatactivity asan addiction.
We canwatch TVto relaxand enjoyour favoriteprograms, orwe canwatch TVto avoidour feelings.
We canmeditate toconnect withSpirit andcenter ourselves,or wecan meditateto blissout andavoid responsibilityfor ourfeelings.
Wecan readto enjoyand learn,or readto escape.
Anything canbe anaddiction, dependingupon ourintention.
Forexample, whenyour intentionis totake lovingcare ofyourself andyour workis somethingyou reallyenjoy, thenworking isnot beingused asan addiction.
But whenthe intentis toget approvalor avoidpainful feelings,then workis beingused asan addiction.
There arefour commonfalse beliefsthat underliemost addictions:1.
Ican't handlemy pain.
I amunworthy andunlovable.
Othersare mysource oflove.
Ican havecontrol overhow othersfeel aboutme andtreat me.
I CAN'THANDLE MYPAIN Whilethis wastrue whenwe weresmall, itis nottrue asadults, yetmany peopleoperate asif itis true.
All ofus arecapable oflearning howto managepainful feelingsin waysthat supportour highestgood, ratherbehaving inaddictive waysthat hurtus.
Ifyou hadan actualchild whowas inpain, andyou gotdrunk insteadof beingthere forthat child,he orshe wouldbe ineven morepain fromthe abandonment.
It isexactly thesame onthe innerlevel.
Addictivebehavior isan abandonmentof selfand causesthe verypain youare tryingto avoid.
I AMUNWORTHY ANDUNLOVABLE Whenyou didnot receivethe loveyou neededas asmall child,you mighthave concludedthat thereason youwere notloved wasbecause youwere bad,flawed, defective,unworthy, unlovable,or unimportant.
When youadopt thisbelief, youbecome cutoff fromyour Source,believing thatyou areunworthy ofbeing lovedby aHigher Power.
OTHERS AREMY SOURCEOF LOVEYou willbecome addictedto attention,approval, love,sex, orconnection whenyou believethat anotherperson needsto beyour dependablesource oflove.
Inthis case,you willbe abandoningyour innerchild toanother person,which causesas muchpain asabandoning yourselfto asubstance.
Untilyou learnto tapinto aHigher Poweras yoursource oflove, youwill continueto beaddicted topeople asyour sourceof love.
When youbelieve youcan't handleyour painand thatothers areyour sourceof love,then youwant controlover gettingthat love.
This isthe causeof thecodependency thatunderlies mostrelationship problems.
There isa wayto healfrom addictions.

Monosodium glutamate(MSG) isa namewith whichmany ofyou areunfortunately veryfamiliar.

Are youaddicted topain pills?
You certainlyhave company.
The cycleof use,dependence, anduse isplaying out,over andover, inevery communityacross thecountry.
Opiate'is anotherword usedby physiciansin referenceto painpills.
Endorphinsare producedin thehuman body,and whenreleased, blockpain.
Thesenatural painrelievers haveother functionsin thebody, rolesnot relevantto thisdiscussion.
Amazingly,poppies producea substancethat looksdifferent fromthe naturalkey, butthat actslike endorphinsby fittingthe exactsame keyhole.
Sufentanil isextremely potent;an amountthe sizeof onegrain ofsalt, sayone tenthof onemilligram, placedon thetongue wouldcause respiratoryarrest ina largeman withinseconds.
Morecommonly opiatesare takenby patientsin theform ofcodeine, hydrocodone(Vicodin), oxycodone(Oxycontin), orhydromorphone (Dilaudid).
Prescriptions forthese substancesare handedout tomillions ofpeople eachday inresponse tocomplaints ofpain.
Opiatesrelieve pain,and workin differentareas ofthe brainto elevatemood, easetension, givea subjectivesensation ofwarmth, andcause sedation.
Finally, theychange theresponse ofthe brainto lowoxygen andhigh carbondioxide inthe blood,and slowrespiration.
Themost commoncause offatal overdoseis respiratoryarrest, wherethe brainstops sendingimpulses tothe diaphragm,and thepatient suffocates.
This fatalresponse ismost commonduring sleep,or whenopiates aretaken incombination withother sedativemedications.
Opiatesare addictive.
There isno wayto takethem withoutthe bodyadapting andbecoming dependenton them.
With timeit takesmore andmore keysto openenough locksto causethe reactionat thenerve cell.
For somereason, oncesomething isassigned tothe psychologicalcategory, itis treateddifferently byphysicians, patients,and therest ofsociety.
Thepsychological addictionto opiatesalso developsvery rapidly,and thereis littleif anythingthat canbe doneto preventit.
Psychologicaladdiction isreal, andis extremelypowerful.
Theresult isa desireto takeopiates.
Thedesire maytake theform ofphysical symptoms,such asan increasein pain,and sopsychological addictionand physicaladdictions areintimately connected.
To healthsystems, timeis money.
Patient complaintsare handledas quickly(and sometimesas superficially)as possible.
When aperson presentsin pain,the firstdetermination iswhether thepain isa seriousthreat tohealth.
Thesecond determinationis whetherenough testshave beendone toidentify thecause ofthe pain.
If thefirst answeris noand thesecond answeris yes,the goalis toclear outthe roomfor thenext patient.
There isa clockon thewall anda patientlist inthe hall,and thelist hasto beclear beforethe docsand nursesgo home.
And inthe doc'spocket liesa padof paper.
Amazingly, allthat thedoctor hasto doto clearthe roomis writeon thepad andwish thepatient well.
That ishow addictionstarts.
Everyoneintends well;everyone ishonest; everyoneis innocent.
The patientis nottold muchabout addiction.
The patientisn't toldthat withina fewdays, hewill havesome difficultystopping themedicine.
Heisn't toldthat aftera weekwhen hestops themedicine hewill havesome diarrhea,he won'tbe ableto sleep,and hewill feeldepressed.
Heisn't toldthat thepain thathe hasmight notgo away,and sohe mayget morepotent medicine,and soon, andthat itwill getharder andharder tostop asthe medicinegets stronger.
I don'tknow ifthe lackof informationreally matters;most patientswould likelytake thepain reliefmedicine now,and worryabout therest later.
The doctorisn't concerned,because thiswas aquick casethat gothim nearlycaught upto schedule.
Unfortunately, thereare painsthat donot goaway, evenas wepatients demandrelief.
Thisphrase angerspatients withpain, butsounds intelligentto patientswho havestruggled toget offopiates.
Butusually, theperson withpain walksout witha prescription.
As tolerancedevelops, thepain comesback, andthe patientgoes tothe doctoragain, thistime leavingwith strongermedication.
Tolerancecontinues, medsare changed,and tolerancedevelops again.
The doctorgets nervousover thesituation, realizingthat atsome pointhe willnot haveanything stronger.
Suddenly callsto thedoctor arenot returned,or arereturned bya curtnurse whosounds likethe patient'smother.
Thepatient realizesthat heis stuck,and becomesdepressed.
Soundfamiliar? Itis notyour fault.
I administeredopiate medicationsevery dayas ananesthesiologist.

And withouta doubt,I cameacross afair numberof casesfor whichbipolar disorderwas aprimary allegation.
But Idon't recallseeing asmany bipolarcases thenas Icurrently seenow.
Whatcould bethe reasonfor therise inbipolar disordercases?
I'vewondered aboutthat manytimes.
Someindividuals mightsay thatthe illnessis beingoverdiagnosed, andthat opinionhas beenleveled atADHD.
But,I don'tthink thisis thecase andhere's why:Bipolar disordertypically requiresthe useof prescriptionmedication forproper management.
Bipolar alsofrequently occursin combinationwith otherillnesses, suchas OCD,or obsessivecompulsive disorderand ADHD,or attentiondeficit hyperactivitydisorder (and,yes, itis notunheard offor apatient tobe concurrentlytreated forall theseconditions).
Ofcourse, ANYONEwho hasever beenput ona medicationtreatment regimenthat attemptsto treatmultiple conditionssimultaneously willknow automaticallywhat sortsof problemsthis maypose.
Whatare thoseproblems?
Forstarters, amedication thatworks justfine forten millionother patientsmay notwork atall forjust one.
Or, itmay workfine forawhile andthen notwork atall.
Orthere maybe sideeffects tothe medicationthat aresomewhat unpleasantand/or stimulateother psychologicalissues (weightgain, sexualperformance issues,to namea couple).
Throw inmore prescriptionmeds totreat otherconditions (inour example,we citedOCD andADHD) andyou enterinto theequation evenmore variables:will medA negatethe potencyof medB, willmed Boverenhance theeffects ofmed C,will medC incombination withmed Acause otherphysical ormental issuesto surface,etc, etc.
For thesereasons (allboiling downto thefact thatvery strongmedications withvery strongeffects andconsequences arebeing prescribed),I sincerelydoubt thatbipolar disorderis beingoverdiagnosed, oris evenmisidentified ona largescale.
Infact, quitethe oppositemay behappening.
Thatis, mentalhealth professionalsmay simplybe improvingin theirability toproperly diagnosethis condition.
Additionally, individualswith bipolardisorder may,as aconsequence ofgreater recognitionand understandingof theirillness, bemore willingto initiatedisability applications.
One mightask "Whywould someonenot filefor disabilitybenefits whenthey havea conditionthat affectsthem soprofoundly"?
Thismay goback tothat "greaterrecognition andunderstanding part".
I'll referencethis example,which, inmy case,comes frommy personallife.
Forthe sakeof confidentiality,I'll referto himas Bob.
Among hisvarious diagnosedconditions, Bobhas aparticularly severecase ofbipolar disorder.
And formany years,he wasunable, despitemany attempts,to maintainemployment forlonger than90 days.
Such thinkingis incomprehensible,of course,given thefacts ofBob's situation.
However, thestance takenby thesefamily membersprobably hadmuch todo withwhy Bobdid notfile adisability applicationmuch sooner.
Also, thepressure puton Bobby membersof hisfamily to"keep tryingto work"may havehastened hisdescent intoauditory hallucinationsand shocktherapy.
Whetherthis isactually happening,of course,is amatter thatis subjectto debate.
But, inany event,more informationis always,intrinsically andinherently, valuable.
And tothis end,the followinginformation maybe helpfulto abipolar patientwho haseither filedfor disabilitybenefits oris consideringfiling: theNosscr SocialSecurity DisabilityFAQ.
Theauthor ofthis articleis TimMoore, whomaintains asite thatfocuses onthe SocialDisability knownas FibromyalgiaIt's thepressure insidethe arteries.

AsI glanceat mycalendar, Irealize thatit's November.
November hasalways beenan interestingmonth forme.
Forone, mybirthday isin October.
That meansI'm stillgoing throughthe variousphases ofdenial thatis associatedwith turninga wholeyear older.
For example:No that'snot awrinkle, Iwas bornthat way.
Or, nothat's nota grayhair, thoseare mynatural highlights.
Or, yesI wasborn 26years agobut thatdoes notmean thatI'm not18 yearsold.
Saygoodbye toshorts andtank topsand welcomein frostbite andrunny noses.
Now doyou seewhy themonth ofNovember isso disturbing?
I rememberthe goodtimes weshared, thelaughs andthe tears.
The partthat hurtsthe mostis thatI neverhad achance tosay goodbye.
We didn'thave timeto reminisceabout oldmemories.
Likethat timeI forgotto feedGoldie fortwo weeks.
She hadlost somuch weightthat JennyCraig hadcalled andasked herto betheir newspokesperson.
Canyou imaginethat? Ofall thefish inthe world,they chosemy Goldie.
She didpretty goodin thosecommercials.
Iwas surprised.I alsoremember thetime whenI hadgotten toobusy tochange herwater.
Thewater turnedso darkthat peoplewere askingme ifit wasregular ofdecaf.
Oh,the goodtimes. Sothis goesout toyou, GoldieSpawn.
Imiss you.I loveyou.
Andyes, youwere goodwith ketchup.
I knowyou wereconcerned aboutthat.
RecentlyI wasasked toparticipate ina CPRclass.
Undernormal circumstancesI wouldfeel okabout this.
However, ifyou haveever metme, orread anyof myarticles suchas thisone, thenyou knowthat thereis nothingnormal aboutme.
Infact, myname andthe word"normal" shouldprobably neverappear inthe samesentence.
Mybelief isthat anyoneneeding medicalattention wouldprobably bea lotbetter offwithout myassistance.
I'mbad withemergency situations.
With thatin mind,if youare everin mypresence andyou decideto passout oranything likethat, youmay wantto goand callfor helpfirst becauseI'm liableto passout toofrom allthe stress.
Then theambulance wouldcome andget allconfused asto whoneeds help.
Trust me,it becomesa bigmess.
Thelast timeit happened,I wokeup justin timeto tellthe openheart surgeonthat theyhad thewrong guy.
Then Ifainted fromthe sightof thescalpel.
Anothergripe ofmine isthat Inever winanything.
Evenif I'mthe onlychoice, Istill won'twin.
Infact, theonly timeI wonsomething wasthat timeI nominatedmyself foremployee ofthe month.
Since Inominated myself,I don'treally considerthat awin.
Withthose beingthe onlytwo choices,I probablywould havechosen metoo.
Icould buya thousandraffle ticketsand somehowthat personthat onlypurchased onewill getto winand givethe acceptancespeech.
Sohere Iam withan acceptancespeech thatI havekept inmy pocketfor years,just incase Iever wonanything, whichI maynever getto use.
Isn't thatsad? Ineed towrite thatdown onmy listof thingsto talkto myshrink about.
Besides, myshrink hasa shrink.
So there!!!I'm goingto endthis articlewith thatbecause I'mrunning latefor mytherapy session.
If I'mnot thereon time,then myshrink getsall worried.
Last timeit happened,the stafffrom thepsych wardand theBaltimore Countypolice wereoutside mydoor onthe megaphonedemanding thatI comeout.
Ittook threeweeks forthe scarto goaway fromthe tranquilizerdart theyshot atme.
Whowants togo throughall that?
So anyway,until nexttime, asmy shrink'sshrink alwayssays, besure tostay onyour medsor else!!!

Erectile dysfunctioncan takeplace atany age,but itis morefamiliar tomen olderthan 65.
What aresome ofthe causesof erectiledysfunction?
Reducedtestosterone level,which canbe treatedwith hormonetherapy.
Howmany drugsdoes thiscover?
Damageto thegroin, ornerve damage.
Kidney, heartdisease, diabetes,or hardeningof thearteries cancause erectiledysfunction.
Overuseor abuseof drugsincluding alcohol,tobacco andrecreational drugs.
First ofall, goodblood flowto thepenis isessential forerections.
Highlevels ofcholesterol andfat inyour bloodstreamleave depositsin thewalls ofyour bloodvessels.
Thisleads toatherosclerosis andcontributes tohigh bloodpressure, bothof whichcan damageblood vesselsand reduceblood flow.
Exercise helpslower cholesteroland bloodpressure.

It isabsolutely essentialto ensureyou getthe correcttreatment.
Mostsufferers donot andundergo treatmentthat amountsto littlemore thanquackery.
Sohow canyou besure you'renot oneof them?
Here's 3critical questionsto aska therapist.
DO NOTaccept treatmentunless youget thecorrect answers.
The mostimportant questionof themall: What,exactly, iscausing meto feelthis way?
Because ifyou're goingto conquerthese illnessesonce andfor all,you haveto knowwhat theroot causeis.
Ifyour therapistanswers anythingother thanflawed modesof thinking,DO NOTUSE THEM.
OK, themost commonanswer youwill getis chemicalimbalances.
Thisis justquackery, plainand simplebecause chemicalimbalances havenever beenproven tocause stress,anxiety ordepression.
Youmay alsoget answerssuch astraumatic event,illness andgenetics.
ALLOF THESESIMPLY AREN'TTRUE.
Whatmakes youfeel sobad ismodes ofthinking andONLY modesof thinking.
And youwill haveperformed themfor years,since childhoodfor mostsufferers.
Anyother answeramounts toquackery andwill leadthe therapistto recommendantidepressant drugtherapy.
Ifthis happensto you,please askthis question:2.
Whyare youprescribing antidepressantsfor me?
Antidepressant drugsare usedto treatchemical imbalanceswithin thebrain.
Therapistswill sayyou feelso badbecause youhave alack of"happy chemicals"in yourbrain, particularlyserotonin.
THISHAS NEVERBEEN PROVEN.
You canlook anywhereyou want,you canask anytherapist, doctor,professor oreven thePresident himselfand notone ofthem willbe ableto providea singleshred ofevidence forchemical imbalancescausing stress,depression, oranxiety.
It'squackery andfortunately, youwill exposeit assuch byasking this:3.
Howdo youknow Ihave achemical imbalance?
Amazingly, thereis NOTEST toestablish chemicalimbalances.
Thisbegs thequestion: howon earthcan drugstreat chemicalimbalances whena testto determinethe imbalancehasn't beencarried out?
And evenif atest didprove thatyou hadlow levelsof certainchemicals, whereis theevidence toprove thatthe imbalanceCAUSES stressfulillnesses?
Thereisn't any.Drugs arenot theanswer.
Theonly wayto getrid ofstress, depressionand anxietyis totreat theroot causeand theroot causeis flawed,harmful modesof thinking.
It isso veryimportant tobe awareof whattreatment isbeing recommendedto you.
The importantissue atstake hereis ofsufferers whoneed helpbeing givenexpensive, powerfultreatments thatcannot curethem; treatmentswith noproven, scientificevidence ofaddressing theproblem theyclaim tocure.
Theknown rootcause ofthese illnessesis modesof thinking.
No event,no chemicals,no illnesses,no genetics,nothing fromyour pastand nothingfrom yourpresent.
It'sall aboutthe thoughtprocesses youperform everyday ofyour life.
Processes thatwill causeyou greatharm themore youperform them.
The goodnews isthat youcan learnto replaceflawed modesof thinkingwith moreeffective onesand youdon't needpowerful, expensivemeds tohelp youdo so.
And unlikedrugs, themore effectivemodes willprovide alasting cureand youwill neverdescend intothe miseryof stress,anxiety ordepression everagain.
IMPORTANT:PLEASE CONSULTWITH YOURHEALTH PROFESSIONALBEFORE YOUSTOP TAKINGANY ANTIDEPRESSANTMEDICATION.

BackupSoftware isfor thebirds!
ComputerBackup istoo hard,too muchtrouble anda painin thebutt.
Let'sjust forgetabout it.
Backup Softwareis toutedas thesavior ofyour computer'scritical businessand personalfiles.
Theyclaim thatall computerhard drives(where ourfiles arestored) eventuallywill havea 100%failure rate.
They tryto tellus thatthe failureof ourhard drivesis justa matterof WHEN,not IF.
Do yourbackups theyshout!
Thereal storyis thatnew computersare sowell madethat theyalmost neverfail, right?
Therefore, wedon't needto worryabout buyingbackup softwareand settingup acomputer backupsystem, dowe?
Afterall weknow thatall thepress abouthard drivefailures, naturaldisasters andterrorist attacksis justa conspiracyby thebackup softwarecompanies toget usto buytheir products.
Personally Inever hada harddrive failure(that Irecall).
Ifmy computerstops workingfor whateverreason, that'slife.
Therefore,I ignorethese softwarebackup companiesthat tryto pushtheir backupsoftware productson theunsuspecting publiceven thoughthey makedata andfile restorationseasy.
Idon't givethem thetime ofday.
Thereforeas yousee, Idon't needbackup software,do you?
After all,if Ilost allmy datato avirus, thenso what?
Who needsbackup software?
Heck, I'djust buya newcomputer andbegin againand I'dstill wouldn'tneed backupsoftware becauseit's justtoo muchhassle.
IfALL mybusiness datawas lostdue toa harddrive crashor viruscorruption thenI'd juststart mybusiness over.
No bigdeal. It'snot thathard, right?
Using backupsoftware isjust apain.
BACKUPSOFTWARE FOOLISHNESSSo bynow we'reall agreedthat usingbackup softwarefor computerbackup isjust forthe foolish,right?
Right.Who wouldwant touse backupsoftware thatautomatically andeasily backsup EVERYTHINGon yourcomputer harddrive toa DVDRewriteable diskor USBexternal harddrive?
Thatwould meanyou couldeasily recoverfrom anycomputer disaster.
That makestoo muchsense andis fartoo logical.
They claimthat backupsoftware isa virtualcomputer insurancepolicy againstfire, flood,theft, earthquake,hurricanes, tornadosand terroristattacks.
Balderdash!Ridiculous.
Hey,the businesseswho survivedHurricane Katrinadidn't needbackup softwaredid they?
OK, OKI admita lotof businesseswithout backupsoftware andoff sitebackup lostEVERYTHING andnow theycannot recovertheir dataand reconstitutetheir business.
But that'slife. Nowthese businessesand theiremployees cannow moveon tosomething new.
How exciting!Look, lifewithout backupsoftware isjust somuch moreinteresting.
Bythe way,did Itell youhow muchI enjoyplaying RussianRoulette?
DidI neglectto mentionmy briefstay (itwas reallywas onlya fewdays) atthe mentalhospital?
Ahh,that's ancienthistory.
Let'sget backto thepresent.
Myfriend Bendown inNew Orleansowned aninsurance company.
It madea verygood livingfor himand hisfamily.
Hedidn't believein backupsoftware either.
All hiscomputers weredestroyed byHurricane Katrina.
Ben justlaughed andsaid, "Noproblem, thisdisaster givesme thechance towrite theGreat AmericanNovel thatI've alwaysdreamed ofwriting".
Whatabout his10 employeesand histhousands ofcustomers hewas asked?
Ben said,"Heck, thingsalways workout forthe bestdon't they?"
Whatabout theincome fromthe businessthat supportedhis familyhe wasasked?
Bensaid, "Oh,FEMA (FederalEmergency ManagementAgency) toldme theywould takecare ofus andnot toworry."
See, Benis allset andis nonethe worsefor weareven thoughhe didn'thave backupsoftware.
BACKUPSOFTWARE LESSONSSo boysand girlswhat havewe learnedabout thisbackup softwarething?
Ifwe don'thave backupsoftware, sowhat, itjust makeslife aftera harddrive crashmore interestingand fun.
After anatural disasterthat destroysyour computers,FEMA willmake itOK.
Allthe hubbubabout backupsoftware isjust abunch ofadvertising hypeto sellproduct.
Justbecause youlike toplay RussianRoulette, youaren't reallycrazy.

Withthis understanding,you canthen moveto eliminatethe painof theseillnesses fromyour lifeFOREVER.
Youfind acompany thatis earningmore (economically)than othercompanies withthe sameGAAP numbers.
So, theP/E ratiotends toexaggerate howexpensive thebusiness is.
This iskind oflike findinga businesswith excesscash.
Whileit's truethat abusiness canhave toomuch cashfrom anefficiency pointof view,finding morecash onthe balancesheet thanyou expectedis alwaysa goodthing, right?
Wouldn't itmean thecompany wasn'treinvesting inP however,logically atleast, youdo recognizethat asupermarket's earningswill bedetermined inlarge partby thenumber (andsize) ofthe storesbeing operated.
Both ofthese typesof businessestend tohave morepredictable returnson assets(at leaston themargins).
Oneof thegreatest investingconundrums isthe factthat itis usuallyeasiest toreinvest retainedearnings atpast ratesof returnin apoor businessand hardestto reinvestretained earningsat pastrates ofreturn ina goodbusiness.
Inother words,many ofthe leastlimited businessestend tobe theleast profitable,and manyof themost profitabletend tobe themost limited.
That's whyyou hearme talkso muchabout "franchises"and "niches".
I maynot haveplayed thispoint upas muchas Ishould have.
The PleasantSurprise Thepleasant surpriseis findingthat theGAAP earningsare lowerthan theactual amountof casha 100%owner wouldbe ableto extractfrom thebusiness, ifhe chosenot toexpand it(via additionalspending).
Thatisn't tosay thetwo itemsare necessarilythe sameamount; but,the extentto whichthey divergefrom eachother isnot terriblyspecific tothe business.
The mostobvious reasonfor amajor divergenceis inflation.
Regardless, stockswith similarP/E ratiosgenerally alsohave similar"owners' earnings"multiples.
Thisisn't trueif theassets onthe bookdon't reallyneed tobe replacedto maintainthe sameearnings power.
At leastin thesetwo cases,there isno doubtsuch advertisingcreates aneconomic assetthat helpsgenerate earningsin futureperiods.
Suchspending isnot treatedas acapital investment.
I'm sureit soundslike I'mtaking quitea leaphere.
Afterall, therehave beenbusinesses thatargued forthe amortizationof certainoperating expensesthat clearlydid nothave muchof auseful life.
You mayremember afew suchinstances fromthe late90s.
However,a reviewof thepast financialsfor PetMedsExpress (PETS)illustrates mypoint.
Thereason? Advertising.
The majorityof thecompany's operatingexpenses areadvertising expenses.
In 2005,depreciation expensestotaled lessthan 0.5%of saleswhile advertisingexpenses totaledmore than15% ofsales.
Inprevious years,advertising expenseswere evengreater asa percentageof sales.
My pointis simplythat someof thisadvertising spending(and I'mguessing awhole lot)creates economicbenefits infuture periods.
In otherwords, economically,part ofthat advertisingspending isan investment,not anexpense.
I'mnot sayingGAAP accountingshould treatthe advertisingas aninvestment inan intangibleasset, I'mjust saying,the advertisingis suchan investment.
So, thepleasant surpriseis thephantom investment.
GAAP earningsin previousyears werelower thaneconomic earnings,because aninvestment infuture growthwas treatedas anoperating expense.
Again, Ithink thisis, infact, howthe itemshould betreated byaccountants.
However,investors needto recognizethe distinctionand adjusttheir expectationsaccordingly.
Televisioncosts areexpensed asthe advertisementsare televised.
Internet costsare expensedin themonth incurredand directmail/print advertisingcosts areexpensed whenthe relatedcatalog andpostcards areproduced, distributedor superseded.
Simply put,the hitto earningsis immediate,while thefull economicbenefits areonly realizedover aperiod ofmany years.
That's whatI meantwhen Isaid theEPS number(and thusthe P/Eratio) "sometimeslie".
Thisis oneof thosetimes.
Anowner wouldsee theadvertising spendingdifferently thanthe GAAPportrayal.
Therefore,he wouldbelieve thetrue P/Eratio waslower thanit appearedto be.
The Valueof IntangiblesIntangible assetsare oftenharder toreproduce thantangible assets.
You can'treproduce thosebrands atthe samecost.
Furthermore,in bothof thesecases, you'dhave tolose moneyor accepta muchnarrower marginwhile youdid buildthe brandup.
So,while thebarriers toentry maynot beobvious, thebarriers toprofitability anddominance arequite clear.
Both companiesalready owna littlepiece ofyour mind.
Hidden BargainsHow doesone parsethe numbersto findthese hiddenbargains?
Thereis nopurely quantitativeway ofdoing this.
For example,Strattec (STRT)and Lear(LEA) bothmake autoparts.
However,they aren'tcompetitors.
Learmakes interiors;Strattec makeslocks.
Thelock businessis notthe sameas theinterior business.
The industriesaren't equallyprofitable andthey aren'tequally competitive.
But, don'tallow yourselfto becomeunduly wedto thenumbers.
Bringyour understandingof what'sneeded tomaintain andexpand theparticular businessand whatcompetitors arelikely todo (andthe unintendedconsequences thoselikely actionswill produce).
Some industriesare easy.
At anyone time,the numbersfor thelast fewyears maynot makethis factobvious, butyou'll knowit, becauseof thequalitative judgmentsyou bringto youranalysis ofany particularsteel company.
These arethe thingsthe numbersalone can'ttell you.

Aprime examplecomes fromthe laboratoryof prosports players.
For thirtyyears sportspsychologists JimLoeher andTony Schwartzhave helpedprofessional athletesdefine whatit takesto succeedat themost competitivelevels underthe highestpressures.
Hewas frustratedduring hisstudies.
Hecouldn't separatemuch differencebetween thepeak performersand theother playersduring points:their strokes,speed andstrength whereoften similar.
He discoveredthe keydifference whenhe focusedon whatthe playersdid betweenthe points,not duringthe points.
The toppedranked players,each andeveryone, hada personalritual forcalming theirbreath andheart rate,sharply focusingtheir attention,and preparingfor thenext point.
These ritualsmight lastonly ninetyseconds betweenpoints, butpracticed oftenwere highlyeffective.
Itgave theplayers theextra staminaand focusto leapahead ofthe pack.
Flavius, atrainer ofGreek Olympicathletes, understoodthat afterintense training,his athletesneeded timeto restand recovertheir energy.
Modern sciencecalls this"compensation.
Awell intentionedpause" isan extensionof Loeher'sdiscovery withtennis players.
A strategicpause becomesa practicefor everydaylife.
Itis ourfocused intentionthat setsthis kindof pauseapart.
Thepower ofour intentionis sourceof tremendousenergy in,and ofitself.
WhenI turnmy intentionto rest,restore andrefuel myenergy; whenI turnmy intentionto calmand soothemy feelingsand mind,life naturallyresponds.
Possiblepauses canbe justabout anythingthat unplugus fromthe consumingthoughts ofour dayand refuelour energies.
