Genetics position of addiction and family history: When it has become necessary to trace your roots
Sometimes we fail to succeed in our quest in eliminating addiction from our system because we ignore the real root course. Many people actually become victims of addiction not really because they were induced into their substance of abuse but because of their background and how they were brought up. The genetics position of addiction and family history therefore becomes serious components of consideration when it comes to dealing with the problem of addiction. Because of that we are confident that it has become necessary for all of us to trace our roots and be sure that what we are going through now is not as a result of lineage. To that effect we want to explore in details the genetics of addiction and family history in a couple of postings that we are going to making on this link. We are also going to engage the experts from AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center in this discussion to give you the expert opinion on this matter and how best you can approach it for a quick and more professional way of treatment. This is something you do not want to miss because doctor Dalal Akoury who is also the founder of this facility (AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center) will be impacting on us positively for the better health of our present and future generation. As we progress into the discussion, it will interest you to note that doctor Akoury is a veteran addiction expert and has brought a lot of transformation in people’s lives over the last few decades and her experience is something you need to hook up to if you are struggling with any kind of addiction by scheduling for an appointment today so that your condition can be attended to timely and professionally.
Now to the topic of the day, in many instances the prevalence of addiction is rated in a ratio of 50 percent to genetic predisposition and 50 percent to poor coping skills. These are facts that have been confirmed by numerous studies both in the present and in the past. Doctor Akoury is confirming that in one of the study where researchers sampled some 861 identical twin pairs and 653 fraternal (non-identical) twin pairs. It was established that when one identical twin was addicted to alcohol, the other twin had a high probability of being addicted to the same substance. However when one of the non-identical twins was addicted to alcohol, the other twin did not necessarily have an addiction. Based on the differences between the identical and non-identical twins, it became very clear from the study that an estimated population of about 50-60% of addiction is due to genetic factors. And like I have already mentioned, those figures have been confirmed by other studies globally as well.
