There are several types of strokes: know how to ward off strokes and protect your health!
We are all familiar with the potentially devastating effects of
suffering a stroke, but most of us don't have a clue as to stroke
causes. All strokes are caused, essentially, by a lack, or excess of
blood to the brain cells. The majority of strokes involve a lack of
adequate supply of blood to your brain. These are called ischemic
strokes. The remaining 20% of strokes are of the hemorrhagic type,
where a blood vessel in the brain ruptures and bleeds within the skull.
Marijuana Addiction Treatment
While marijuana addiction is rare, when it happens it can be
debilitating. It can lead to weight gain, staying in a low level job,
encounters with the police, and failure to complete a variety of
different projects. Fortunately, there is marijuana abuse treatment out
there. Because marijuana is not one of the more serious drugs, usually
you can go in for outpatient addiction treatment. I had a friend who
went to a marijuana addiction treatment program that lasted about six
weeks, and basically his treatment consisted of daily meetings. He
would go in for group therapy in the morning, and then after work he
would go and meet one-on-one with a counselor. It was a pretty standard
marijuana addiction treatment program, and I think it really did get
him off the drug for good.

Is Your Thyroid Function Affecting Your Health?
For as long as I can remember, my grandmother has had bad thyroid
function. She had a slow function, or hypothyroidism, and that caused
her to gain weight, feel tired all of the time, and to wish she didn’t
have to get out of bed each day. She has been on medication ever since
I was a child, and she is still on that medication today. She has
relied on to keep her thyroid functioning correctly, and made her
