Passages Malibu & Passages Ventura Drug & Alcohol Treatment Centers Support National Prevention Week
Passages Malibu & Passages Ventura Drug & Alcohol Treatment Centers Support National Prevention Week
Malibu, CA (PRWEB) May 17, 2012
Passages Malibu and Passages Ventura, the world’s leading drug and alcohol rehab centers, are proud to support the first annual National Prevention Week, which is held from Monday, May 21, 2012 through Friday, May 25, 2012. This health observance is an opportunity for community members and leaders to learn more about behavioral health issues and get involved in ongoing prevention efforts.
National Prevention Week is a new annual health observance week that is supported by SAMHSA(Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) to celebrate and support the work that community organizations, individuals, healthcare providers, and treatment centers, such as Passages Malibu and Passages Ventura, do year round to help heal and to promote mental, emotional, and behavioral well-being.
National Prevention Week’s themes are as follows:
Monday, May 21: Prevention of Underage Drinking
Tuesday, May 22: Prevention of Prescription Drug Abuse and Illicit Drug Use
Wednesday, May 23: Prevention of Alcohol Abuse
Thursday, May 24: Suicide Prevention
Friday, May 25: Promotion of Mental, Emotional, and Behavioral Well-Being
Being an alcohol and drug treatment center that takes the holistic approach to healing the mind, body, and spirit to help promote overall wellness, balance, health, and freedom from substance and alcohol dependency, Passages is thrilled that this new observance has been placed on our national calendar.
“My hope is that we can bring more awareness to the growing problems of underage drinking, prescription drug abuse, and illicit drug use this year and the years to come. National Prevention Week gives us the opportunity to just that. Bringing awareness to these important issues in our society is exactly what’s going to create positive change. Hopefully, everyone will participate in spreading the message during this week and beyond,” says Pax Prentiss, CEO and co-founder of Passages Malibu and Passages Ventura.
National Prevention Week 2012 is timed for the start of summer because, as SAMHSA explains, “Summer is a season filled with celebrations and recreational activities that can potentially be linked to substance use and abuse, such as graduation parties, proms, weddings, boating, and camping excursions. It is also timed to allow schools to take part in a prevention-themed event before the school year ends, raising awareness in students of all ages. The percentages of marijuana, cigarette, and alcohol initiates among youth increase between spring (April and May) and summer (June and July), and the timing of National Prevention Week 2012 will help to raise awareness in youth at this crucial time of year.”
If you or a loved one is in need of help with an addiction to any type of substance – alcohol, heroin, cocaine, marijuana, prescription medicine, painkillers, or any other type of addictive substance – help is out there. Passages Malibu and Passages Ventura offer customized, holistic, non-12 Step treatment plans for every type of addiction. Their addiction treatment centers in Malibu and Ventura, California are two of only 6% of the nation’s behavioral health treatment programs that have earned the coveted JCAHO accreditation.
Please join Passages Malibu, Passages Ventura, and SAMHSA in spreading the word of National Prevention Week.
About Passages Malibu & Passages Ventura:
Founded by Chris Prentiss and Pax Prentiss, Passages Malibu opened in 2001 with its second location, Passages Ventura, opening in 2009. The two drug and alcohol abuse treatment centers offer an alternative to the 12 Step/AA model of addiction treatment by taking a holistic approach with a program that focuses on the underlying issues of substance dependency, rather than suggesting that addiction is an incurable disease. Passages Malibu and Passages Ventura have earned the coveted JCAHO (Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations) accreditation, which has only been given to 6% of the nation’s behavioral health treatment programs. The co-founders are also authors of the acclaimed series of treatment books that include their groundbreaking flagship book, “The Alcoholism & Addiction Cure.” At Passages, we believe: Addiction Ends Here™.

Breakthrough Trivedi Master Wellness Programs are Helping Thousands of People Break Away from Disrupted Sleep Patterns & Sleep Disorders
Breakthrough Trivedi Master Wellness Programs are Helping Thousands of People Break Away from Disrupted Sleep Patterns & Sleep Disorders
Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) May 06, 2012
Could sleep disorder be inhibiting people from getting the promotion they have been reaching for or simply enjoying the quality of life that people are working so hard to achieve?
According to the National Sleep Foundation, it is recommended that adults get between 7-9 hours of sleep each night, and that 7 out of 10 American adults have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep at night.
Despite these statistics, The National Institute of Health still reports that there are 50-70 million Americans affected by sleep disorders, which may significantly diminish health, alertness and safety. Untreated sleep disorders have been linked to hypertension, heart disease, stroke, depression, diabetes and other chronic diseases.
The Institute of Medicine recently estimated in its report, Sleep Disorders and Sleep Deprivation: An Unmet Public Health Problem, that “hundreds of billions of dollars a year are spent on direct medical costs related to sleep disorders such as doctor visits, hospital services, prescriptions, and over-the-counter medications.”
Sleep problems and lack of sleep can affect everything from personal and work productivity to behavioral and relationship problems. In fact, fatigue caused by sleep deprivation costs the U.S. economy a shocking $ 136 billion per year in health-related lost productivity alone. [1]
So where do the hundreds of thousands of people plagued by Sleep Disorders begin their search to find a solution? After medications fail to provide lasting relief, and alternative approaches such as yoga and meditation do not deliver all desired results, people with sleep disorders are in search of a permanent solution that will allow them to sleep without recurring disturbance, and without the side effects that over the counter or prescription medications may bring.
Several participants in the Trivedi Master Wellness™ programs who have previously suffered from chronic sleep disorders are now claiming that their ability sleep peacefully throughout the night and wakeup feeling rested has been restored, after having received the Energy Transmissions associated with these programs.
The Trivedi Effect™ integrates consciousness with scientific research and aims to vastly improve the human condition. Transmitting energy through mere thought intention, Mr. Trivedi’s gifted abilities have been measured, validated and documented in over 4,000 scientific studies and experiments to date, and published in a number of leading international Peer-Reviewed Journals.
The main objective of Mahendra Trivedi is to transform humans’ lives for a higher purpose, ultimately bringing happiness to the lives of all people. Over 150,000 people have received Energy Transmissions to date, and thousands of these individuals claim that after their first transmission they are able to reach a state of peaceful sleep, and wake up feeling rested.
Here are some testimonials that illustrate the difference occurring in the lives of many participants of Trivedi’s Programs:
”The sleep I do get is deeper than it used to be. My mood is almost always good.”
”I noticed a big change in my sleeping habits at the Chicago retreat. I slept no more than 4-6 hours a night for over 20 years. I tried many items, including herbal remedies. Since Chicago, I have been averaging a full 7 hours a night. My focus is much clearer now.”
“With seven hours of sleep a night, I feel a deep restfulness and wake up feeling rested and happy. I wake up feeling human again. The quality of sleep is so much deeper and I am more relaxed when I wake up. The “brain fog” has gone away; I am a much more loving person and can extend love to others more than before.”
“I sleep very soundly and feel fresh when I awake. My memory is much sharper and I focus on tasks at hand.”
“I am getting so much better sleep than before and my energy level is so much better.”
If people were told that the negative repercussions in their life resulting from poor sleep might significantly subside or disappear, what would they say? Thousands of skeptics have been freed from their enslaving sleep patterns and are enjoying the life that they have built for themselves.

See It, Now: Space-Time Insight Showcases Visual Analytics that Tap into SAP HANA’s Real-Time Power
Orlando, FL (PRWEB) May 15, 2012
Space‐Time Insight, the leading provider of next‐generation situational intelligence solutions, today announced that its visual and geospatial analytics software has been integrated with the SAP HANA Platform, tapping into HANA’s powerful in-memory database to meet growing user demands for rich, real-time analysis of business and operational data. At SAP’s invitation, the combined solution will be demonstrated at the SAPPHIRE NOW and ASUG Annual Conference, May 14-16 in Orlando, Florida in the SAP HANA ecosystem and innovation test-drive pod in the database and technology campus (DT 228).
Space-Time Insight’s suite of situational intelligence solutions helps organizations with critical infrastructure derive business value from massive volumes of data and to anticipate and respond in real-time to events that impact critical infrastructure. Space-Time Insight federates and correlates real-time and historical business and operational data from multiple sources, and transforms it into intuitive visual and analytical displays from which users can make faster, more-informed decisions.
Space-Time Insight uses SAP HANA to acquire and process large volumes and wide varieties of data in real-time, dynamically introduce new KPIs without re-indexing, and execute native analytics scripts to filter data in and transform it into intuitive visual interfaces. The SAP HANA Platform dramatically improves the real-time performance of this functionality with in-memory software that allows large volumes of many types of data to be processed and queried at high speeds. This is especially advantageous for organizations with widely dispersed assets and resources — such as utilities, and oil and gas and transportation companies — that require up-to-the-second insights and need to dynamically traverse all aspects of their business, from executive down to plant level, to make quick decisions and respond rapidly to changing operational conditions.
At SAPPHIRE NOW, SAP and Space-Time Insight executives will be offering live demonstrations of the joint solution, highlighting how situational intelligence software can leverage an in-memory database to enhance asset performance and reliability, and to reduce risk and costs. The demonstration is also available online at the following link: http://bit.ly/Space-TimeInsight-HANADemo.
“Space-Time Insight’s situational intelligence software and the SAP HANA Platform are a powerful combination,” said Rob Schilling, CEO of Space-Time Insight. “Imagine being able to not only quickly identify the location and cause of a malfunctioning asset, but to also have visibility into the economic, risk, safety and service implications for all customers within a five-mile radius of that asset. By facilitating prompt remedial action with insights like these, Space-Time Insight is changing the way organizations utilize data to make critical decisions.”
Space-Time Insight’s software is deployed at some of the largest utilities and oil and gas companies in North America and around the world. The company’s Situational Intelligence Suite for Utilities includes comprehensive solutions for Smart Meters, Smart Grids, Assets and Renewables.
About Space-Time Insight

From traditional transmission, communications and transportation networks to Smart Grids and Cities, our next-generation situational intelligence solution is making critical infrastructure smarter, safer and more reliable. With Space-Time Insight, enterprises can visualize and analyze their resources across location and time, rapidly respond to disruptions in service, and lower risk while increasing customer satisfaction and profitability. Major organizations around the world rely on our high performance software to gain actionable insights into their businesses and make real-time operational decisions.

DoctorsHealthPress.com Supports Study Showing Chinese Medicine Helps Reduce Muscle Loss
DoctorsHealthPress.com Supports Study Showing Chinese Medicine Helps Reduce Muscle Loss
Boston, MA (PRWEB) May 06, 2012
The Doctors Health Press, a publisher of various natural health newsletters, books and reports, including the popular online Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin, is lending its support to a recent study showing that acupuncture therapy mitigates skeletal muscle loss. This has big implications for improving health among older adults and medical patients who have weakened muscles.
As reported in Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin on Friday, May 4, 2012 (http://www.doctorshealthpress.com/general-health-2/how-chinese-medicine-strengthens-your-muscles), the researchers believe acupuncture is the main alternative treatment for dealing with skeletal muscle atrophy. Atrophy is the partial or complete wasting away of a part of the body.
Loss of muscle mass has a profound effect on the ability of many people to engage in physical activity. One preferred way to prevent atrophy is to use such interventions as exercise training, improved nutrition and mechanical stimulation. But these can be quite challenging for those who are already frail or who have severe medical conditions.
The Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin article reports that the researchers strongly believe that an alternative approach is urgently needed for these individuals. And that is why they decided to explore how acupuncture affects skeletal muscle at the molecular level. And there, they found very encouraging results.
It was a preliminary study, performed on mice, as is the norm, and it found that the cellular changes that cause muscle loss could be “significantly reversed by acupuncture.”
The World Health Organization has endorsed acupuncture as a treatment for a variety of diseases. Yet many people (doctors and patients, alike) regard it suspiciously. And researchers have not dipped very much into understanding the molecular ways acupuncture works in the body.
The Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin article reports also reports that the new study found one such molecular mechanism responsible for acupuncture’s effectiveness. It was found, in this case, very useful in preventing skeletal muscle atrophy in mice. While more studies will be needed in the future to address this link, older adults dealing with this health issue may find help in the offices of a Chinese medicine practitioner or licensed and experienced acupuncturist.
(SOURCE: “Japanese researchers show that acupuncture can improve skeletal muscle atrophy,” American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Apr. 23, 2012.)

The Obesity Prevention Source Aims to Help Policymakers and Public Reverse the Growing Worldwide Obesity Epidemic
The Obesity Prevention Source Aims to Help Policymakers and Public Reverse the Growing Worldwide Obesity Epidemic
Boston, MA (PRWEB) May 11, 2012
What is causing the obesity epidemic—and how can we stop and reverse this worldwide weight problem? A new website offers authoritative answers to pressing questions about child obesity and adult obesity and sheds light on one of the most challenging public health threats of our time.
The Obesity Prevention Source website, launched by the Department of Nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH), aims to give the public, health professionals, public health practitioners, business and community leaders, and policymakers quick and easy access to science-based information about obesity’s causes, its dire consequences, and what can and must be done to turn back obesity’s global spread.
“You can find lots of websites about weight loss or obesity control, but few provide comprehensive, timely, and science-based information on this global health problem—a problem that is preventable,” said Frank Hu, professor of nutrition and epidemiology at HSPH and co-editorial director of the website.
The website is available at http://www.obesitypreventionsource.org.
Created by the same HSPH nutrition experts behind the popular and authoritative website The Nutrition Source (http://www.thenutritionsource.org), The Obesity Prevention Source website accepts no subsidies or commercial support from any industry, so that it can deliver an unbiased perspective on obesity prevention.
The website offers several key features:
Concise summaries of groundbreaking research on obesity’s causes—from the earliest influences in the womb to the pervasive influence of an environment that’s hostile to healthy eating and has daunting barriers to active living.
Roadmaps to promising strategies for obesity prevention in key settings—families, early child care, schools, worksites, health care—and strategies for community- and national-level changes to food and physical activity environments. It’s never too early to start preventing obesity, so child obesity prevention strategies for families, early child care providers, schools, and healthcare providers receive special focus. Each section also links to key resources for translating these strategies into policies and practices.
A “Healthy Weight Checklist” that outlines simple diet and lifestyle steps for keeping weight in check—a helpful resource for individuals and those who work to help others stay healthy, including parents, teachers, and health care providers.
Policy and environmental changes are the foundation of obesity prevention. Scientific evidence shows that these policy and environmental change efforts should focus on facilitating a handful of key behaviors: choosing healthier foods (whole grains, fruits and vegetables, healthy fats and protein sources); limiting unhealthy foods (refined grains, potatoes, red meat, and processed meat) and sugary beverages; increasing physical activity; limiting television and screen time; improving sleep; and reducing stress. The Obesity Prevention Source offers strategies that can help individuals and communities make these healthy choices easier choices.
“To bring about these widespread societal changes, participation is needed from all sectors—for-profit, non-profit, governmental agencies, and civic agencies,” said Lilian Cheung, director of health promotion & communication, Department of Nutrition, HSPH and co-editorial director of the website. “Furthermore, each one of us can be an agent of change—at home, in our children’s schools, at our work, and in our community. We also need to encourage and support changes at a national level—to collectively fuel this important social movement as a matter of urgency for the health and well-being of all people around the world.”

Prostate Protection from Enlargement Can Be Achieved Naturally with New Thermobalancing Therapy Improving Men?s Well-being, States Fine Treatment
Prostate Protection from Enlargement Can Be Achieved Naturally with New Thermobalancing Therapy Improving Men’s Well-being, States Fine Treatment
London, UK (PRWEB) May 12, 2012
New Thermobalancing Therapy can terminate benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or slowly progressive enlargement of the prostate, which makes urination difficult and send men trudging to the bathroom many times during the day and night, and also negatively influences their well-being by decreasing sexual drive, Fine Treatment reveals. This condition is widespread, as according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the most common prostate problem for men over 50 is prostate enlargement. By age 60, over one-half of men have BPH; by age 85, the number climbs to 90%, according to the American Urological Association (AUA).
BPH puts large percentage of men at a disadvantage to others. An article in the USA Today states, “1 in 3 men age 75 to 95 remain sexually active”, while a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine discloses: “Among sexually active men, 57% were satisfied with their sex life, and 43% wanted to have sex more often, according to the study, which followed men from 1996 to 2009.” It should be noted that prostate drugs and surgical procedures only worsen the symptoms of sexual dysfunction, thus, reducing life satisfaction of their users.
So men’s well-being can be dramatically increased with the use of Thermobalancing Therapy as an appropriate solution for BPH. The therapy helps to avoid numerous adverse side effects detrimental to patient’s quality of life. Dr. Allen’s device provides this exceptional prostate therapy protecting the prostate from lasting enlargement. Contrary to other treatment methods, the Thermobalancing Therapy works all the time while the device is applied. By improving the blood circulation inside the prostate tissue, it helps to restore this organ naturally. Oxford Innovation has recorded testimonials that confirm the benefits of this therapy. You can watch a short video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCFy_jZgCLw.
“Fine Treatment offers a therapeutic device that can treat prostate enlargement effectively,” says Dr. Simon Allen. “The improvement of the blood circulation inside the prostate is the key factor that terminates BPH and helps men to achieve lasting well-being.”
Dr. Allen’s Device for Prostate Care has no side effects. Read more at http://www.finetreatment.co.uk/prostatetreatmentbph/prostatitistreatment.html.
About Dr. Simon Allen and Fine Treatment:
Dr. Simon Allen is a highly experienced medical professional. His specialty is in the internal medicine and cardio-vascular field, and he has treated patients after a heart attack, with kidneys problems, including kidney stones disease, prostate and spine conditions. Fine Treatment exclusively offers Dr Allen’s devices for chronic prostatitis and BPH treatment, coronary heart disease, dissolving kidney stones, as well as back pain and Sciatica relief.
