Virtual Addiction Therapy is Indeed New Normal After Covid-19
Since the vaccination process started, we all started doing things that we used to do before Covid-19. We have started going to restaurants, planning trips and many of us have stopped wearing masks too. If you could remember recently passed days when we were restricted to homes, some missed their favorite Macdonald's pizza while some people who had addiction problems faced enormous difficulties in getting the timely treatment or prescription of life-saving drugs. From there, the concept of online therapies started gaining some ground. And now, something that was started in a kind of compulsion has become a favorable option for addiction therapies. Indeed, virtual or online therapists for addiction treatments are the new normal that everyone loves.

Hurry Up & Wait!
Welcome, you. What was my tactic in my last letter? I’ll tell you what this one is; planning for the unplanned, figuring out the breaks in a pattern, and weak and strong points as well (I’ll explain this in paragraph three). It could potentially hold a big piece of information. But, as a being riding along a patterned based experience, prepare for the brakes. Was it Jackie Chan who said, “Expect the unexpected”? Probably not. But in my head, it was. I could sit here and throw unsound inductive arguments around for a while. Since you are me and I am you (the voice you hear when you read), fruits are on tress, trees are on earth, people are on earth. Then we’re probably peaches.

Possible Side Effects of Suboxone
Common Suboxone side effects are: constipation. These are fairly uncomfortable side effects that don't necessarily mean a bigger problem to the patient. Most patients only experience a couple of uncomfortable symptoms throughout the course of overcoming substance addiction. These are usually experienced in the first few weeks of treatment and will subside as the drug works through the body.

Fad Treatments can be Dangerous for Children with Autism
Let me tell you about Paul, he was diagnosed with autism at age 2 and by the age of 8, he had participated in over 10 fad treatments for autism. Treatments included auditory integration training, gluten-free diet, rotation diet, magnet therapy, intravenous immunoglobulin, secretin, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, prism glasses and a number of medications. Why? Because a parent will do anything to help their child. The issue is that sometimes it takes away from other treatments, sometimes it is ineffective and sometimes it is actually harmful. At the most dangerous level, a five-year-old boy, Abubakar was given chelation therapy and went into cardiac arrest and died. https://www.medpagetoday.com/neurology/autism/1616

Creating Self
Writing, photography, painting, creating. Meditation, burning sage, crystal healing, chakra cleansing. These and other coping skills, creative avenues, and spiritual awakening activities are great. They certainly have their place in feeling/releasing emotion, and can help people get through the day. However, what I have found is that in order to do them, I have to be feeling a certain amount of well already. I have to have the time and energy to put into these self-help activities and creative outlets.

My Experiences Microdosing Psilocybin, LSD, and Iboga
There's a day for everything, isn't there? May 27th is World Microdosing Day, a celebration of a decade-long movement that started when James Fadiman (whose birthday is on May 27th), published his book, then promptly shared his research protocol with people who had decided to try microdosing - a protocol has been followed by millions (perhaps billions) of people at this point on their quest for mental health support, self-exploration, and general wellbeing.

Why are you like this?
About eight years ago, my cousin told me that she'd been diagnosed with ADHD. She'd been medicated. It had been transformative, transcendental for her: she realised that this is what it must be like for other people, she said, to concentrate, to focus, to not lose things or forget they exist once out of your sight, to have the mental clarity of one's best days almost every day instead of as a rare treat.

Holistic Health
Holistic Health is an approach to life. Rather than focusing on illness or specific parts of the body, this approach to health considers the whole person and their interactions within their environment. It accentuates the mind, body, and spirit connection, with the goal being to achieve optimum well-being. Holistic health patients accept responsibility for their own level of well-being, and their everyday choices, to take responsibility of their own health. The four strategies to consider when promoting positive mental health are; encourage typical life experiences, increase coping skills, increase social support, and empower families (Huff, McClanahan & Omar, 2010). Holistic medicine focuses on treating the entire person and not just the disorder or affliction. In the assessment and management of chronical illness and specific disorders the holistic health care provider considers biopsychosocial factors of biological, psychological, and social concerns. These biopsychosocial aspects influence one another and are integral to healthy emotional functioning (Huff, McClanahan & Omar, 2010). In considering wellness, fostering positive mental health, the medical management goal is to minimize the impact of the disease on the physical, emotional development and functioning of the patient. Holistic health promotes a mental health goal of achieving balance between disease management and positive mental health. The Holistic health care provider embraces quality of life, believing all parts of physical, emotional, environmental, and spiritual aspects help patient life balance to address any issues, sickness, or disorder, to make a person whole (Walter, 1999).
