Stages of Addiction
A-Experimentation- introduction to behavior including more consistent desire to engage B-Regular use- engagement in everyday life C-Risky use- consistent use which causes noticeable behavior change (usually negative personality problems) D-Dependence- Body and mind must have it to function normally (physically and emotionally) E-Addiction- Out of control; unable to stop; must alter behaviors to fix it; knows it is harmful; ruins parts of life
1983
AIDS reported among female partners of men suggesting it is passed via heterosexual sex. In May, Pasteur Institute in France reported discovery of new retrovirus called Lymphadenopathy-Associated Virus (LAV) that could cause AIDS. In June, first reports of AIDS in children hinted that it could be passed via casual contact but ruled out; concluded directly acquired AIDS from mothers before, during or after birth. CDC identified all routes of transmission; ruled out casual contact, food, water, air or surfaces.

Chiropractic
: Daniel David Palmer's theory that anything that is wrong with a person is due to a "misplaced spinal bone." They do a lot of manipulative therapy like massaging, pushing on back, stretching, etc. The issue is that there is no science behind this. The idea is that back misalignment keeps "positive nerve energy" from traveling. Based on a theory, with no measurable base. In most states, insurance will cover this. They cannot prescribe drugs but they will give you lists of vitamins and supplements to buy (can get expensive). In addition, you need more than one session, which is costly, as the person needs x-rays, etc. before they realign the back.
Choking
: most common are food, small objects like marbles (kids) dangerous foods- large meat (steak or hotdogs), cubes of cheese, seeds, raw veggies, peanut butter sandwiches, hard candy *Prevention: clean house of small objects like coins, staples, button, bottle caps, (anything a kid can eat), cut food in small pieces, chew thoroughly, don't rush when eating, drink water, know Heimlich maneuver

Acupuncture/acupressure
The idea of putting needles or knuckles (acupressure) on center areas of the body called "meridians." Each meridian in the body corresponds to a specific body part. Basis in ancient Chinese culture. The needles and pressure help release "Qi," or 'life-force', which flows through the body and helps with all things. Problem is that this cannot measure. Can also be done for stress related disorders like migraines, and has been so successful that the US government is studying this to find proof to demonstrate this is effective. Insurance will cover this. These are ancillary; people see acupuncture and chiropractor after a doctor. They try to sell sets of three, and give vials of herbs, which supposedly increases the success of their methods.

emphysema and chronic bronchitis; SOB+ Constant Cough, Supplemental O2
Reiki:
energy healing based on the idea "life force energy" flows through everyone's body. According to this philosophy, sickness and stress are indications that life force energy is low, while energy, health, and happiness signify a strong life force. In a Reiki session, a practitioner seeks to "transfer" life energy to the client by placing their hands lightly on the client's body or a slight distance away from the body (Reiki can also be performed long-distance). The purpose is to promote relaxation, speed healing, reduce pain, and generally improve the client's wellbeing
Prevention
engineering, education, enforcement (laws/police) *3th most common cause of death in America: over 200K per year (one every three minutes) *Up 10% since 2015 (due to drug overdose/47,000 just for opioid deaths

Massage Therapy-
popular, but has conflicting data. Can relieve stress in patients, but the effects will not last. The sessions are also expensive. It has proven that the results are great short term, especially in those terminally ill. Different types have different focuses, pressures, etc. 45 states in the US regulate massage therapists to avoid any frauds.
Homeopathy
principle of treating "like with like," meaning a substance that causes illness when taken in large doses can be used in small amounts and treat those same symptoms. (This concept is similar to allergy shots). Homeopaths gather extensive background information on patients before prescribing a highly diluted substance, usually in liquid or tablet form, to jumpstart the body's natural systems of healing. There is some clinical evidence that homeopathy is effective

Stem Cell
undifferentiated (random) cells that can unlimitedly divide and could end as specialized cells. Due to the unlimited division, stem cells have a higher risk for cancer
Murder
unjustified killing/intent. To be a murder, conduct so reckless that it is punishable. 'malice aforethought'- FIRST DEGREE = planning, SECOND DEGREE = intent to kill but no careful planning passion (get angry and kills) FELONY = murder while doing a crime (rob house but owner comes home so kill owner)
Manslaughter
unlawful killing of someone without malice' less moral blame than planning murder; types *Voluntary manslaughter- killing when extreme provocation, heat of passion, mental issue *Felony/involuntary manslaughter- Crime with death but unintentional (throwing brick off overpass and killing a driver) parent *'Misdemeanor manslaughter'- homicide during misdemeanor (theft, vandalism, traffic ticket)
