A phobia is essentially when you have a seemingly irrational fear of something. Sometimes these phobias can be mild, such as a strange sensation of fear when you see a spider, however sometimes these phobias can be massive and take over the lives of those suffering from them. Agoraphobia for example is a mixture of social phobias, and in some people it stops them from even leaving their house. They become isolated and withdrawn from life.
This is a very extreme situation and most people do not have such issues with a phobia, though even small symptoms can be enough to make somebody wish that they could do something about it. Being scared of heights can stop you from doing a sky dive for example, or being scared of spiders and snakes could stop you going to certain countries where they may reside.
Anybody who has a phobia probably wishes that they did not, and that there was something they could do about it. Well luckily there is. Undertaking NLP training is a proven way of conquering your phobias and fears for good.
It can take less than 2 hours to do this with an NLP training session that will train your mind to not be scared. It will do this by working out exactly what the memory was that caused your phobia to manifest itself in the first place, and getting rid of this fear completely.
The idea behind NLP is to re programme your brain, and in the case of phobias you have in the past “learnt” to do something in a certain way, and in this case you have learnt to be scared of something in particular. NLP training will re programme your brain to behave differently, and to not repeat the behaviours you have become accustomed to. It will let you live your life normally, whether that is a small change like being able to go bungee jumping or a big change such as not being afraid to leave the house after many months or years.

The truth is that there is nothing more effective than diet and exercise. You’ve heard these two words from a lot of people, but never really take it to heart.

With today’s state of health care, nearly worldwide, it is very well known that it is suffering, and important to everyone. This is a part of the system that affects the young and the old, regardless of gender or ethnicity. It is crucial for the survival of everyone from infants to the elderly. There are many scenarios that can arise, often unexpectedly, in a persons life that can call for the need of decent health care coverage.
Consider the instance of a car crash. Most individuals will be immediately consumed with the woes of insurance and finances that will be affected by such an instance. But more important than this is the idea of injury. Even if it is not apparent the instant of the car crash, many injuries surface later as life threatening conditions. This will involve hospital bills, brain injury compensation, and often court appearances. This affects our job, our families and our lives. It is important that we are all covered, so that when the time comes we are prepared financially to handle such emergencies, and be sure we receive the compensation and help we need to get back on track.

London life can be hectic, people have very stressful weeks and this leads to them needing a big blow out at the weekend. Some people do this by going on a regular night out and having a few drinks, but a large amount turn to drugs for their release at the weekend.
2007 was the last time a large drug survey was undertaken in London and it showed that drug use in London is higher than in the rest of the country. 11% of Londoners admitted using drugs in the 12 months prior to the survey, and this is 0.7% more than in any other region of the UK.
Class A drugs were where the big differences arose, with 5.2% of respondents using these in London compared to the 3.4% in the rest of the country.
For numbers of people checking into a drug rehab clinic London was highest again with 29,131 going into treatment over that year. This is when drug use goes from being recreational to being a major addiction. This is when it starts to affect their lives and their families.
But why does this happen more in London than elsewhere? Well it is most likely down to two reasons, the first is the pressures of life in London. People work long hours, sometimes 12-16 hour days are the norm to meet the deadlines of the big business that happens in London. They see their weekends as being the time for fun in a “work hard, play hard” mentality, and the drugs take away their stresses and take their mind off the crazy weeks.
The other reason is simply the prevalence of the nightlife in the city. There are clubs and bars everywhere and this is where the majority of the drug use goes on, and much of it is recreational however the more use there is, the more chance of it becoming an addiction problem.

The trappings of fame have lead many astray over the years, and it can look from the outside like this party lifestyle is great fun and that celebrities are untouchable. However this is not always the case, as many celebrities over the years have ended up in drug treatment centers due to their excesses. These are from all industries – from film to music, and we have chronicled 5 of these who took it to the extreme.
Peter Doherty
The former Libertines and now Babyshambles singer has been arrested for drugs possession and been in rehab more times than you can possibly count. His most recent misdemeanour is appearing in court and being found with heroin on him. You really can’t make it up! He has been in and out of rehab for a good 5-6 years and anyone who has been to see him play live knows that you never know which Pete is going to turn up, whether it will be the drugged up one or the genius songwriter version.
Charlie Sheen
The Two and a Half Men star had a wild time in his younger days, and has ended up in rehab a couple of times, amid rumours of “alcohol and drug abuse” from ex-wives. In an interesting twist his current wife went into rehab recently.
Robert Downey Jr
Another actor whose drug addiction started when he was only 6 years old, and by 22 he was hopelessly addiction. He was in and out of drug treatment centers for years in the 90s, and only now is starting to get his life back together
These are just a few of many examples and should serve as lessons to everyone, that addiction doesn’t happen only to “normal” non-famous people but also to these celebrities who are so idolised in the media.

A government inquiry has revealed that certain alcohol companies are promoting their drinks at youngsters so that when they do start drinking they are already taken in by a specific brand. Leaked internal documents from marketing departments are showing that market research undertaken using 15-16 year olds are being used when crafting new campaigns, and that companies are making it a priority to target new drinkers who have just turned 18 to create some sense of brand loyalty in early days.
There is a code of practice that alcohol advertisers must abide by says that anything to do with youth culture is out of bounds for alcohol advertisements, however the documents in the Government report show that they are just finding new disguised ways to meet their marketing objectives, which include the recruitment of new drinkers and encouraging higher consumption.
Various groups such as Alcohol Concern want alcohol advertising banned, including sponsorship of sport teams, events and music festivals as they want to reduce the exposure of alcohol to young people as they are worried it could turn them into alcoholics later in life.
There have also been calls to increase the price of alcohol and to remove all pricing promotions offering cheap alcohol in both supermarkets and bars, reducing the ability for youngsters to get hold of alcohol and making it more expensive for people to drink to excess.
The concern of these groups is that if people start drinking from a young age, it may lead to problems later in life, thinking they could end up becoming alcoholics and needing alcohol detox treatment.
Professor Gerald Hastings of the Institute of Social Marketing in Scotland is saying that “alcohol advertisers are drinking in the last chance saloon”. It remains to be seen how right he is, but with his assertion that this is similar to tobacco advertising which eventually did get banned it will be an interesting time for all alcohol marketers.

Today, purchasing or possessing mephedrone is legal and within the law. This is because the Drug Misuse Act doesn’t cover this drug. When talking about the sale of Mephedrone though, the area is far more grey. The Medicine Act says that it is illegal for any person to advertise, supply or sell mephedrone for consumption by humans. The reason for this law is because it first needs to go through a series of tests for it to be fit for consumption by humans. But, most vendors of this drug consider this only a technicality and they still sell the drug, labelling it as a research chemical or plant food and by marking the bottle as not suitable for consumption by humans.
Vendors can legally sell this drug to people as long as they receive no intimation whatsoever that it is going to be used for consumption by humans as this would mean breaking the rules. If vendors suspect that you are going to be using it for self consumption then they have every right to refuse selling it to you. This drug is illegal in many countries such as U.S.A, Denmark, Israel, Norway, Germany, Sweden and Australia.

We have had several emails from readers who want to stop snoring, so I thought we’d look into the causes behind it:
Contributing factors to snoring:
There can be several factors which lead to snoring, including:
- The anatomy of your mouth. If you have enlarged tonsils or a thick soft palate then you may be more susceptible to snoring. If the triangular tissue hanging from the uvula is elongated or misformed, this can obstruct the airflow, causing vibrations which may lead to snoring.
- Being overweight. Overweight people have a larger chance to have narrowed airways, which may lead to involuntary snoring.
- Consuming alcohol. If you drink too much alcohol late at night, this can be a contributing factor to snoring. Alcohol causes snoring by relaxing your throat muscles and decreases your defences against airway obstruction.
- Nasal problems. If you have a deviated nasal septum you are likely to suffer from snoring.
- Sleep apnea. If you have sleep apnea, this can often be linked to snoring. Sleep apnea causes your throat tissues to obstruct the airway. This often leads to load snoring followed by more than 20 seconds of silence. The lack of oxygen will force you to wake up – a pattern which may repeat itself many times through the night.
There are many snoring cures available, you should contact your family GP for advice if you or your loved ones are suffering.
