We are living in a state of flux. We are living in a state where we are in total un control of your mind and our body. This statement comes from the very fact that we are no longer a focused, organised and empowered race of humans walking on this earth. Why do we say this? We say this because there are so many afflictions to the human body and the human mind to mention and none of them has been properly addressed. We have to look at the problem of addiction.

Addiction is one of...

First, we need to look at the science of pain. What is pain? Pain is actually a defence mechanism in the body to alert you that there is something wrong with the body, internal or external, that is beyond the normal functions of the body to actually overcome and heal. The body itself is an efficient machine and it has the ability to self heal almost anything at all, but as you age and progress in life, these mechanisms are not able to function just as well. These are natural effects of...

When talking about the mind, there has been quite a bit of dialogue on how to improve the power of the mind and how to make individual humans a much more tenuous and powerful device. The thing is, the power of the mind is quite an understated fact when it comes to the overall human biology, and when looking at the chemistry of the human body, it seems that we are not equipped to use the full power of the mind.

Even the industry of science has revealed the fact that the landscape...

The World Wide Web has become a very generous information portal. Everything that you need can be found here from the silliest to the most serious research. You also have plenty of materials that you can use. You have e-books, videos, photos, and audio files. Simply put, the Internet can be a helpful resource—to a certain extent. When it introduces problems such as porn addiction, it becomes detrimental, more so when it affects your kids. You need to start the process of breaking...

Saying ‘abstinence’ to a recovering addict is like saying ‘celibacy’ to a hot blooded male. In my years working on the Ovis Farm Project, the concept of Abstinence was one of the difficult principles to get across. It wasn’t that your recovering addict didn’t understand the word, it was just too difficult to see "how it applies to me."

Abstinence was OK for everybody else, but "I will be able to control my drinking or drug taking...

For many people in South Africa, the summer season (from October to March) is known as the silly season - a time when partying, over indulgence, relaxation and fun are normal occurrences. For recovering addicts and alcoholics in a Twelve Step help group however, this time of year can present an array of opportunities for relapse. The majority of recovering addicts do not come into contact with alcohol or drugs on a regular basis, so during the party season where many functions and...

Heroin is an addictive drug that is processed from morphine and usually appears as a white or brown powder. Its street names include smack, H, ska, junk, and many others. Heroin use is on the rise and it has become a serious problem in America.

Heroin abuse is associated with serious health conditions, including fatal overdose, spontaneous abortion, collapsed veins, and, particularly in users who inject the drug, infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS and hepatitis.

Addiction is a condition characterized by repeated, compulsive seeking and use of drugs, alcohol or other similar substances despite adverse social, mental and physical consequences. It is usually accompanied by psy­chological and physical dependence on the abused sub­stance and the appearance of withdrawal symptoms when the addictive substance is rapidly decreased or terminated.

When addiction exists, the drug use controls the individual rather than the individual...

There are many things that seem keep you from quitting pot: Social reasons, stress, lack of a plan and so forth but hiding behind these excuses hides a nasty little devil that we either do not recognize or we do but try to hide him all the same; it is a dirty 4 letter word starting with ‘F’
