Brain and mental health benefits of low-level laser

Mental health is a growing concern and brain function disorders are on the rise. These include traumatic brain injuries (TBI), depression, anxiety, dementia and post-traumatic stress disorder. Among our college students we are seeing anxiety as a top concern in 41.6 percent, followed by depression (36.4 percent) and relationship problems (35.8 percent). Another concern on the rise is traumatic brain injuries and it is reported that mild concussions make up 75 percent of all brain injuries. It is estimated that 1.7 million people sustain a TBI each year in the U.S. Many of these individuals are young children and teenagers playing contact sports including soccer, basketball, lacrosse, hockey and football. Another group severely impacted are our military personnel deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, who frequently experience mild to severe TBI’s while overseas. When they return home, they often struggle with depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. Many people struggling with TBI symptoms have poor blood flow and oxygenation to the brain tissue, increased inflammation and oxidative stress in the brain following head injuries. These factors contribute to further deterioration of the brain tissue and can lead to chronic symptoms.

Forget PC ... kick ISIS booty, boys

France and Great Britain have joined the United States in an emerging international military coalition to supply air power to blunt the advance of ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria). Strange bedfellows at best, these three permanent members of the United Nations Security Council have had their own strife and battles. The other two permanent members are Russia and China, who seem to be engaged in their own respective endeavors. These five members, along with India and Pakistan, are the only nations allowed to have nuclear capabilities. Did someone mention Iran and North Korea?

What is anti-aging medicine?

What comes to mind when you hear the term "anti-aging?" Most would think some type of beauty product, whether that means a topical facial cream, masks, shampoos, conditioners or laser treatments. However, anti-aging and regenerative medicine is actually a "medical specialty of active scientific research aimed at the early prevention, detection, treatment and reversal of age-related decline." It has become a remarkably cutting-edge field of medicine. A legitimate, well-trained anti-aging and regenerative medicine specialist will be certified as a diplomat of the American Board of Anti-Aging Medicine. I have earned this certification and practice in the Liberty Lake area.
