Why Addicts Need Rehab by Ren
In 21st century America, drug and alcohol abuse is becoming more common, perhaps more common than it ever has been before. We are faced with a drug addiction epidemic, a crippling nightmare that has caused more than twenty-four million Americans to become hooked on drugs and alcohol. At this time, about fourteen percent of the U.S. population of adults, seniors, and teens are addicted to some form of substance, be it an illegal narcotic, a prescription drug, or alcohol.
But even though a quarter of one-hundred-million Americans are heavily addicted to drugs and alcohol, only about one in ten addicts ever actually gets the help that they need through an addiction treatment center. Why is this? Some believe that addiction treatment is relatively unattainable, or that treatment centers are too few and far between, or that treatment facilities are always too full and too overrun to be able to help everyone who needs help.
The Reality of the Addiction Treatment Gap
According to a report by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse based out of the Columbia University: “The vast majority of people in need of addiction treatment do not receive anything that approximates evidence-based care. Only a small fraction of individuals receive interventions or treatment consistent with scientific knowledge about what works.”
To back up that concern, Thomas McLellan, co-founder and lead researcher on best practices for drug and alcohol addiction treatment at the Treatment Institute in Philadelphia, had this to say about the “treatment gap” as it is called:
“There are exceptions, but of the many thousands of treatment programs out there, most use exactly the same kind of treatment you would have received in 1950, not modern scientific approaches.”
“There are exceptions, but of the many thousands of treatment programs out there, most use exactly the same kind of treatment you would have received in 1950, not modern scientific approaches.”
Author and addiction expert, Anne M. Fletcher, wrote about the flaws of traditional addiction treatment, the classic, thirty-day model that isn’t long enough, can’t treat enough people to really make a difference, and which uses pretty outdated and no longer applicable technologies to attempt to rehabilitate addicts in the 21st century. She said that: “People with serious substance abuse disorders commonly require care for months or even years. The short-term fix mentality partially explains why so many people go back to their old habits.”
Expert opinion is pretty well aligned on this point. Yes, addicts need rehab, but they need inpatient rehab that lasts. By this is means that addicts need several months to get clean, not just a few weeks.
Why Rehab is a Must
The simplest answer as to why addicts need to go to rehab is simply because rehab is the key, singular effort that will help the addict overcome the morass of their addiction on their own. This is to say that addiction is not something that just goes away by itself, and an addiction is so consuming and so, seemingly all-powerful that this is something that the addict can almost never tackle effectively on their own. They almost always need help.

Rehab is a must for struggling addicts because it takes the tools one can get in rehab, plus the time spent in rehab detoxing off of drugs and alcohol, plus their own personal incentive and desire to get clean, all to overcome the beast that is an addiction. This is not something that will go away with just personal effort alone.
When addicts are trying to get help for a drug habit or want to get clean for good, their best shot at doing so is with inpatient rehab. But more specifically than that, it has to be inpatient rehab on a long-term basis.

Are you Getting enough Vitamin C to Protect your body from illness and disease?
One of the most important substances in the achievement and preservation of optimum health, as well as the prevention and treatment of disease, is vitamin C.
To appreciate why an optimum daily intake of this nutrient is so essential in the battle against infectious disease and well-being in general, we must remember that our bodies do not make vitamin C.
The question becomes what amount of vitamin C is needed to put a person in the best of health and give them the immune protection against infectious diseases of all kinds, as well as the various degenerative diseases that are now so common.
To help you understand the truth of "what amount," here is what experts in the field of nutrition have to say:
"In order to answer this, we must first understand the concept of Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) as formulated by the Food and Nutrition Board.
"Most people interpret RDA for any particular nutrient (in this case vitamin C) as being that specific dosage that leads to the best health for all people. That is, ‘if I take the RDA of vitamin C every day of my life, I will more than likely achieve the best health that can possibly be gained by the intake of this nutrient.’
"This interpretation is quite false!
"The RDA is only the estimated amount that, for most people, will prevent scurvy or death caused by vitamin C deficiency.
"The board's recommendations were adopted to indicate to the general American public the amount of vitamin C needed [45 mg] in order to avoid scurvy.
"The problem with the board’s recommendations is that the medical profession took hold of them and created a misconception generally accepted by many physicians. This being:
"If there are no signs or symptoms of scurvy, we must assume that there is no deficiency of vitamin C. Therefore no need to take supplements of this vitamin.
"But scurvy is not just a symptom of lack [of vitamin C], but a final collapse, leading to death, via a breakdown and disintegration of our bodies.
"There is a large area, including colds, infections, flu and degenerative diseases that exists between the total blackness of scurvy and death, and the pure white of optimum health and resistance to disease.
"No longer can we be satisfied with the misconception that if we do not have scurvy, we do not need any additional amounts of vitamin C in order to achieve optimum health and resistance to disease."
Excerpted from Brain Allergies
by William Philpott, M.D. & Dwight Kalita, Ph.D.
Eight double blind studies have been done using between 200 mg/day and 2,000 mg/day, which have shown an average 44% reduction in illness, thus the RDA recommendation of 45 mg of vitamin C is far too low to provide the protection needed today.

The Science Behind Using Supplements for nerve damage.
There are many reasons for nerve damage - too much sugar in the blood, chemotherapy, some cholesterol drugs, injuries, etc. etc. etc. The damage to the nerve cells create some common side effects of burning, numbness, tingling, sharp pains and cramps, etc. etc. You can read about it here Neuropathy
Not matter the cause of the nerve damage, the symptoms are similar and the supplements needed by the body to fix the damage and build healthy nerves is the same. But, where is the original science that supports this. We could tell you success after success, but thought you might like to see the original clinical trials that came up with this.
In order to show this, I'm referring you to a website on the internet that publishes the trials done in the research.
I've given you the titles, but also the exact terms you need to put into the search bar on the website so you can view the original work done.

Dental Problems? Gum Problems?
"I came across Dental Pro7 while surfing the web looking for a solution to my dental problems. I was having a gum problem and nothing I had used seemed to be working, my gums just kept on receding. In addition the Dentist wanted me to go to a dental surgeon to clean out the bacteria in my gums.
What I read about Dental Pro 7 made sense and I started using it. Since using it I have it has done so much for my dental health. It actually eliminates the buildup of plaque in-between my teeth & at the back. The only other time that plaque has been removed is when I visit the dentist for a cleaning. And it eliminates the bacteria. It is such a relief to have found this”
