OCD May Stem From Birth Trauma

Healthy Mindframe, Intuitive Medicine, Medical Reports, Positive Parenting, Uncategorized / By Laura Koniver, MD

A new study (published in JAMA Psychiatry Oct 5, 2016) reveals that the more stressful the birth is on the baby, the higher the risk that baby has for developing Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) decades later. Children who were born prematurely and children who experienced stress during delivery both had statistically significant increases in the rates of developing OCD during adolescence and young adulthood. Stressful birth circumstances included: maternal smoking during pregnancy, cesarean section delivery, preterm birth, low APGAR scores, unusually low or high birth weight, breech presentation at labor and more.

And during the holiday season… when most of us have naturally gained a little weight… this is the perfect time to share today’s uplifting medical study with you. This latest study didn’t receive much attention (the negative scary reports always seem to be the ones your doctors want to share with you!) but I think it should have. Researchers looked at two very large databases, examining body mass (Body Mass Index — BMI) and metastatic renal (kidney) cancer survival rates. They found that obesity …

Prescription opioid drug overdose is the leading cause of accidental death in the US, and these rates are steadily on the rise. Many pain medications are addictive and cause incalculable harm to the dependent patient struggling with pain issues.

Immediate Healing Support That Works For Everyone

Grounding, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

I’ve been a physician for over 16 years and I’ve seen quite a lot of patients over those years. And during all that time, I’ve only come across one healing modality that supports the entire body â€” head to toe, every organ system â€” in such a powerful way. Clear air is awesome and nurturing.

But inevitably, with every holistic healing modality I worked with, there would be some patients who benefit greatly and some who get absolutely no results whatsoever. Some folks heal with a certain …

Is Stress Is Making Your Antidepressant Ineffective?

Grounding, Healthy Mindframe, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

If you take antidepressants, new research shows that a stressful lifestyle has the power to completely remove any healing benefit you may have had from taking that Rx medication. Environment can completely impact whether or not antidepressant therapy works or not. Behavioral, lifestyle, and environmental stressors absolutely MUST be addressed… and today’s medical report is proof that a medication alone is just not enough to help.
