More About A Hair Drug Test

By Bart Icles

Drug testing has been around for years but it has only been recently when hair drug tests have become available as foolproof methods of testing for the presence or absence of drugs in the body of a certain individual. A hair drug test is a forensic, quantitative, and anonymous laboratory analysis of hair samples to determine the presence or absence of illicit drugs and their metabolites in the core structure of human hair.

Many people wonder how hair drug testing can be possible. Testing for the presence or absence of drugs using human hair is based on a rather simple principle. Drugs that have entered our body are circulated in our bloodstream through different processes of absorption. These prohibited substances can very easily reach our hair because our developing hair follicles need to be nourished. Therefore, traces of drugs and their metabolites are deposited into our hair follicles and they will be enclosed in the core of hair shafts as they grow from our hair follicles. As our hair shafts grow, they record the different substances that have come into and gone from our system over time.

A hair drug test can detect the presence or absence of substances like cocaine (including benzoylecgonine), cannabis or marijuana, opiates (like codeine and morphine), amphetamines (including methamphetamines and ecstasy), and angel dust or phencyclidine. The amount of drugs and their metabolites in the hair, usually measured in picograms per milligram, can determine what kind or type of drug user a person is. The presence of drugs in the hair can reveal drug use in as early as 4 or 5 days and as far back as 90 days.

Typically, hair drug tests require about 40-50 strands of hair cut from the scalp line at the crown to be collected from subjects. When bundled, this should come up to about the diameter of a shoelace tip. The length of hair should ideally be about an inch and a half long but a hair drug test can be performed on a sample about half an inch long. It is best that hair samples are cut as close to the scalp as possible.

While there has been word that certain hair products can help people pass hair drug tests, most of them can only mask the hair. This will have no effect on the results of hair drug tests because a hair drug test processes the contents of the core of the hair shaft, not its external cover. - 29929

Know The Types Of Bipolar And Disorder Symptoms Of Bipolar

By Ken P Doyle

Bipolar Disorder is complex in that there is not a single symptom or a single type of disorder. Some of the major symptoms are the unstable shifts of emotions and mood swings from the very high (mania) to the lowest of the low (depression) and the in between know as the middle hippo mania. The levels of the symptoms have a vast range from severe to rather mild and may include certain periods with no symptoms appearing at all.

Main Signs

Bipolar disorder symptoms are not universal and not all people will experience the same symptoms or even those who do experience the same symptoms, the severity will differ. Bipolar disease has many factors that can affect it and they are unique to each family and to each individual. Bipolar disorder is common and can be very serious if it is left untreated. If signs or symptoms of bipolar disorder appear, immediately seek the attention of a psychiatrist.

There are many symptoms to depression and they are similar for severe depression. Symptoms include: increased or decreased sleep, decreased interest, feelings of guilt, decreased energy, decreased concentration, decreased or increased appetite, changes in motor activity and suicidal thoughts or plans.

Children with Bipolar

It is good to develop a wide range of knowledge for children s with the disease - for school personnel, counselors, ad visor for parents and teachers in school. When people are able to know the signs of an early-onset of the disorder, it would lead to fast action and appropriate diagnosis and treatment. With everybody co-operating with the program children with behavioral, academic and social difficulty problems can be ensued have an early chance of treatment.

Seeking a Bipolar Treatment

Both mood stabilizing medication and counseling are indicated in the treatment of bipolar disorder. It is crucial that those with bipolar disorder learn about their medication and the side effects associated with the drugs. A reliable system needs to be implemented to ensure that the patient takes their medication regularly, even when they are feeling better and stable. Not taking the medication on a regular basis will lead to severe episodes, relapses and hospitalization. Those around the bipolar patient, such as family and friends, should continue to monitor the patient's mood, sleep patterns, change in eating habits and behaviors to prevent the onset of manic or depressive episodes. Bipolar patients should not use alcohol or drugs, even mild drugs such as marijuana can make symptoms worse. It is essential that those with bipolar disorder lead a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, adequate sleep and regular exercise. Such a healthy lifestyle will aid in lowering stress levels and improving quality of life. - 29929

The Debate on Drug Testing Policies

By Bart Icles

Drug testing programs are not new to most offices and schools. In fact, there are already several schools, colleges, and universities who have already implemented random drug testing policies. However, there is still much debated on whether or not students should be subjected to drug tests, and there are lots of questions about the objectives of these random drug tests. This is the very reason why school boards, faculty members, and students are all involved in drafting drug and alcohol testing policies that are to be implemented in schools, colleges, and universities.

In many cases, random drug test policies require students who are involved in extra curricular activities to submit themselves to drug tests. The idea of having random drug tests is not to pick on certain students but these policies are enacted and implemented to help students lead cleaner lives. We are all aware of the negative effects of drug use, drug dependence, and drug addiction that we are all given choices to say no to prohibited substances. Drug test policies are anchored should be anchored on these grounds and not to discriminate or give prejudice to certain students.

Helping students to reach their maximum potential is the main goal of drug testing programs in schools, colleges, and universities. However, there are school administrators who are not totally convinced about the objectives and benefits of these drug test policies. There are those who believe that parents should have more responsibility over drug use concerns. They believe that these concerns should be addressed at the parent level and not to be legislated by school and student boards.

Nevertheless, many school administrators and teachers understand the importance of their role as second parents to their students. This has made many school and student boards decide to implement random drug testing programs that typically involve random drug tests on students who participate in all athletic-related extra curricular activities, including cheerleading, band and all associated groups, and show choirs and all associated groups. Independent drug test vendors usually conduct the testing of a certain number of eligible students who have been randomly selected at regular intervals with the help of a computer.

Indeed, drug and alcohol testing programs can be drafted, enacted, and implemented because of the growing concern over alcohol and illicit drug use among students. These programs and policies should also be taken as proactive approaches to maintain the safety of students while in school, to weaken the effects of negative peer pressure, to support students to involve themselves in drug treatment programs, and to keep students from the negative effects of drug and alcohol use to the learning centers of the brain. - 29929

Is Your Loved One Suffering from Drug Dependence?

By Frank Froggatt

There's a huge variety of different things that can be a problem in this world today, but until that difficulty actually affects you, typically we don't think about it. Some things that I would put on the list would be having a bout with leukemia or cancer, having a friend or dear one die at an early age, or having one of your kids or dear ones develop a drug habit and need drug rehabilitation.

Dealing with the last issue is somewhat testing as you know it is because of the individuals choices and decisions that put him or her in that situation in the first place. It is never an easy thing to tell somebody that you love but they have a drug problem which has gotten out of hand and that you think the only possible solution for the problem is drug rehab.

Some will do drugs for their entire lives, but unless it is interfering with their lives, there really isn't much you can do most of the time. If they're not really showing the signs, you may not even see it's occurrence. I have heard of lots of individuals who have told themselves well just once won't hurt, and I just once turned into a lifelong addiction. It's really unfortunate that they made that wrong choice, as that one choice changed their lives forever. Their only hope of really getting away is to go through drug rehab, and to hope that it only takes one time. For most individuals though it usually takes more than one time through a program to absolutely get over it.

A really scary thing about hard drugs like cocaine meth and heroin is that after you try it that "one time" it seems to take over their lives entirely. There is really no explaining the hold that these drugs have on some people. When you watch someone going through it, you know you can't understand it, but you also know you will do anything to make it stop. More often than not when you find a loved one in this situation and you reference drug rehab to them, because of their altered state of mind they will become defensive and isolate themselves from you. You might be the only real friend that this person has though, so don't let their pulling away stop you from trying to help.

When it comes to getting somebody to to a drug rehabilitation program, they have to be compliant with it unless some specific things take place. If the person gets in trouble with the law then the courts can make drug rehabilitation mandatory. Heavy drug use causes people to do things they would not in general ever do if they weren't on them, so when this happens it is imperative that somebody really steps in. Once in a while a person can be convinced that they need to go to a drug rehabilitation if they are feeling guilty for their actions, but in most instances somebody who is really hooked won't even hear of it.

The only other reason that you can get somebody to go to a drug rehabilitation program forcibly is if they threaten the life of somebody else, or their own. This isn't always the clincher though because the authorities have to actually hear them make the threat. Whichever direction their decisions take them, if you love the person who is suffering from a drug dependence then do all that you can to help them get into a drug rehab program. It can truly save their life. - 29929

Facts About Lung Cancer

By Allan Tan

Lung cancer is a common and potentially fatal type of cancer. Here are some interesting facts about lung cancer:

In the United States, about 219,000 new cases of lung cancer are diagnosed each year. Of these new cases of people diagnosed with lung cancer, over 103,000 are women and almost 116,000 are men.

Most people associate lung cancer was smoking, but that is not the only way to get lung cancer. The second leading cause of lung cancer is exposure to radon. Causes of lung cancer include asbestos, exposure to radiation, air pollution, scarring from tuberculosis, and secondhand smoke.

Lung cancer is one of the most deadly types of cancer. Lung cancer is responsible for over 160,000 deaths per year. The deaths from lung cancer are more than twenty-eight percent of the annual cancer-related deaths.

Within five years of diagnosis, eighty-four percent of those who are diagnosed with lung cancer die. Lung cancer affects more African-Americans than other races, and African-Americans are more likely to die from lung cancer.

Early detection is an important part of preventing death from all types of cancer. About eighty-four percent of the cases of lung cancer are only diagnosed after the lung cancer has spread to other parts of the body.

Less money is spent on research for lung cancer than other types cancer.even though lung cancer is one of the most deadly forms of cancer.

Quitting smoking reduces the risk of dying from lung cancer, but people who quit smoking are still at risk. About 50% of all lung cancer occurs in people who have already quit smoking.

One study showed that people who quit smoking reduce their risk of developing lung cancer by one third within the first ten years after quitting. The risk of lung cancer dramatically fell to ten percent when a person has quit smoking for more than 30 years.

Besides quitting smoking, people can help prevent lung cancer by eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly. Preventing exposure to toxins that can cause lung cancer is another preventative measure.

Radon testing kits are available to test the levels of radon in the home. If the home is found to have elevated levels of radon, there are corrective measures that can be taken including ventilation systems at the foundation of the house. - 29929

What Affects How Long Drugs Stay In Your System?

By Allan Tan

Often a concern of people who faced drug testing by employers, many people want to know how long do drugs stay in your system. The amount of times that a drug stays in someone system depends on the type of drug use, how much of the drug was consumed, and certain characteristics of the person.

Factors that affect how long drugs stay in your system include your age, weight, and overall health. How much and how often the drug has been consumed affects how long traces of the drug remain in the body. Even the person stress level can affect how long the drug stays in the person's system.

Psilocybin, known as shrooms or mushrooms, and LSD stay in the system and are detectable by urine tests for about eight hours after use. Drugs that stay in the body an average of two days include methamphetamine, codeine, nicotine, GHB, Ecstasy, heroin, amphetamines, morphine, and opiates.

Hash and marijuana are detectable by urine tests for up to five weeks after use. Benzodiazepines, like Xanax and Valium, can take up to six weeks to completely leave the person's system.

PCP, also known as Angel dust, can be detected by urine tests for up to eight days after use.For six to ten hours after consumption, alcohol can be detected by urine test.

A percentage of alcohol that is consumed is expelled in the breath. A breathalyzer test detects alcohol in the breath. Although many myths claim ways that breathalyzer tests can be fooled, only one has a true affect on breathalyzer test results. Mouthwash containing alcohol has been rumored to affect breathalyzer tests. Unfortunately for those who try this, mouthwash can increase, not decrease, the measure of alcohol on the person's breath.

Hair testing can often detect drug use for a longer time frame than urine testing. Most hair tests will detect any drug use that has occured in the past ninety days.

Blood tests can be used to detect drug use, but blood tests are not commonly used. Some prescription medications can cause a false positive on drug urine tests commonly used by employers.

Prescription medication stays in the system for varying amounts of time depending on the specific medication, dosage, and the individual's metabolism. The half-life of a prescription drug is used to describe how long it takes for a drug to reach half of the potency of the dosage consumed. - 29929

Reliable Hair Drug Test

By Bart Icles

At some point in your life, you might have heard about drug testing programs being implemented by different institutions. May it be a mid-sized business, a large corporation or a non-profit organization; most of today's employers require drug-free workplaces. As the demand for drug tests grows, more and more companies are offering various kinds of drug testing kits, making way for more and newer methods of detecting drugs in our body. Typically, drug tests are technical examinations of various substances that may be present in a person's urine, blood, sweat or hair. The presence or - at other times - the absence of specific drugs or their metabolites or metabolized traces can be determined through this kind of screening.

Detection periods can vary. Typically, these differ according to the substances being screened. They can also be different from one another, depending on the sample supplied by the subject. Urine drug tests can pick out substances that have been in the body for the past three to five days. While oral fluid and blood drug tests can detect substances present in the system within last 48 hours. A hair drug test can detect substances consumed for the past 90 days - that's for about the past three months!

While urine drug tests still remain as the most common method for drug testing, results can only show substances that have been taken in by the subject for the past three to five days. This means that occasional drug users may pass a urine drug test. This has made some employers resort to more reliable forms of drug testing, such as a hair drug test.

A hair drug test can detect substances that have been present in your body for the past 90 days. This is mainly the reason why many people deem this method of drug testing as the most accurate. As our hair grows out, drugs and other substances get to be encased or enclosed in our hair shafts. This simply means that longer hair can yield a history of substances used for a longer period of time.

There have been some companies and individuals who claim that a hair drug test can be dodged by simply detoxifying hair. However, hair products available in the market do not guarantee 100% detoxification. If you have apprehensions about hair drug testing and you fear seeing a non-negative result, it is best that you stay away from drugs. This is the only way for you to best pass any kind of drug test. - 29929

What You Need To Know About Drug Testing

By Bart Icles

It is not unusual for businesses and organizations to implement a random drug testing program. Businesses and organizations often develop this kind of policy to help ensure safety in the workplace. Therefore, a random drug test should not cause panic among employees. You do not need to resign just because you might fail a drug test. What is important is you know what your rights are and you know where you stand.

Although businesses and organizations have random drug testing policies, this does not mean that employers can force employees to participate in such a program. The only exception is if you have signed a contract that has a clause regarding alcohol and drug testing. In this case, you have no choice but comply with company or organizational procedure. These days, most employers incorporate drug and alcohol testing in their recruitment process. Whatever the case is, employers must have written policies about drug testing. If it is meant to be done randomly, then it must truly be random - employers cannot target you just because they presume that you are up to something.

Even if you are not doing drugs and your employer has a written policy on drug and alcohol testing that you have signed to show that you have read and understood it, then you practically have no choice but comply. If you are using drugs but you do not do so at work, you still cannot be off the hook. The presence of drugs can still be detected even if it has days or weeks since you have used one. There are drugs that can still show in your specimen even hours or weeks after the effects have worn off.

There are no fool proof ways to dodge a drug test - unless you are bald or you have a ready supply of infant urine in your drawer. There might products in the market that claim to help you pass a drug test but all they can do is mask the substances in your sample. Just as ways for passing a drug test are getting more advanced, the methods of drug detection are also becoming more and more sophisticated. What methods might work today might just as well fail tomorrow.

There are lots of questions about the accuracy of drug tests. If you are 100% sure that you are not into drugs but your drug test results came out as positive, then you might want to consider seeking legal help. Remember that the goal of drug testing is to help keep the workplace safe, not to persecute you. - 29929

Are You Suffering From One of These Common Sleep Problems?

By Pat Millner

Experts are finding that even men and women who exercise regularly, stay away from cigarettes and avoid excessive drinking often only get a fraction of the sleep their bodies really desire to stay healthy. Getting the right amount of sleep is one of the most important aspects of healthy living that most adults, and many adolescents, often neglect. It's been estimated that nearly 65 million Americans suffer from some sort of sleep disorder.

Sometimes health problems such as excessive weight, over indulging on alcohol or food or simply living a stressful lifestyle can lead to sleep issues. Lots of people have a hard time sleeping for any number of reasons. Here are some of the more severe sleep problems seen in most people today:

Snoring or Sleep Apnea: Snoring is a classic symptom of sleep apnea, which is a sleep malady that causes a person to stop breathing momentarily during sleep. Sleep apnea can be classified as obstructive, which means soft tissues in the back of the throat collapse slightly while a person is sleeping, temporarily obstructing the airway and interrupting sleep. Central sleep apnea occurs when a person's brain actually "forgets" to tell the lungs to continue breathing during the night.

Bed Wetting: Adult nocturnal enuresis affects 1-2% of the total population, though those numbers are believed to be under reported. Bed wetting as an adult occurs when a mature person or adolescent does not wake to urinate during the night time sleep period. This may cause sufferers to fear going to sleep, increase stress about sleeping and ultimately disrupt relationships which can sometimes make the condition worse.

RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome): RLS is a sleep condition which causes a person to experience a creeping, pins and needles or even pulling sensation in the leg when they lay down to go to sleep or sit for long periods of time at night. These feelings prevent sleep and can be more than just bothersome if they happen every night.

All of these sleep maladies are treatable and some are preventable. You may need to speak with your doctor if you have to deal with any of these conditions yourself. Getting the correct amount of sleep is vitally important to your overall health and can greatly improve your quality of living. - 29929

Cancer Causes And Symptoms

By Allan Tan

There are numerous different types of cancer. The cancer causes and symptoms can vary with the specific types of cancer. Some general cancer causes and symptoms pertain to several types of cancer.

Each specific type of cancer causes its own set of symptoms, but some cancer symptoms are similar for numerous types of cancer. Fatigue is one of the most common cancer symptoms. Cancer causes persistent fatigue that is often caused by anemia.

Another common cancer symptom is unexplained weight loss. If a person has a decreased appetite and loses ten pounds or more without dieting, the person should consult a doctor since this type of weight loss can be caused by cancer and many other diseases.

Many types of cancer put strain on the immune system which can cause fevers. The fevers that a person experiences due to cancer may be frequent or persistent. Though many types of cancer cause fevers at the onset of the illness, some types of cancer only cause fevers as the cancer spreads to other parts of the body.

Several types of cancer have pain as a symptom. Some types of cancer only cause pain when the cancer spreads and affects the nerves of the person's body. Types of cancer often cause pain as specific part of the body such as back pain being caused by colon cancer.

Bowel habit changes can be a sign of cancer. Many types of cancer can cause constipation, diarrhea, blood in the stools, or gas. People who have changes in bowel habits should consult a physician since many diseases can cause affect the bowels in this way.

The causes of cancer can also depend on the type of cancer. For example, while smoking is linked to lung cancer, smoking does not cause skin cancer or breast cancer.

A genetic predisposition to a type of cancer is a common cause of many types of cancer. If a person has a family history for a particular type of cancer, they are at increased risk of developing cancer.

Certain lifestyle factors can contribute to the development of cancer. Many types of cancer are thought to be partially caused by poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle. People who have a poor diet and sedentary lifestyle may be a greater risk for cancer especially if they have a family history of cancer and have been exposed to carcinogens. - 29929
