Book Synopsis The Paradox of Healing by : Michael Greenwood
Download or read book The Paradox of Healing written by Michael Greenwood and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic illness presents us with an insoluable paradox, and unless that paradox is confronted, no significant healing can take place. Illness should not be cured or eradicated as a foreign agent in the body, but rather transformed as part of one's being. From this premise, this book takes a journey beyond the physical manifestations of illness to its mental and spiritual roots. Using well-known myths as vehicles to understanding the struggles and decisions that underlie illness, the authors relate these stories to both case histories and their own personal experience.
Book Synopsis The Healing Paradox by : Steven Goldsmith, M.D.
Download or read book The Healing Paradox written by Steven Goldsmith, M.D. and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2013-06-18 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does Western medicine fail to cure chronic physical and mental illness? Why do so many treatments and drugs work only for a limited time before eventually losing effectiveness or producing harmful side effects? Dr. Steven Goldsmith's answer is at once counterintuitive and commonsensical: the root of the problem is our combative approach. Instead of resisting and fighting our ailments, we should cooperate with and even embrace them. We should look for and apply treatments that are integrated with the causes of illness, not regard illness as an enemy to conquer. This "hair of the dog" principle is already widely evident in practice. Take, for example, vaccines and inoculations, which are small doses of the microbes that cause the diseases being prevented; the use of the stimulant Ritalin to calm and ground people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder; and radiation, which is both a well-known cause of cancer and a well-known method of treating it. These are just a few of Goldsmith's many examples, which he relays in clear, evocative, and thought-provoking language. Perhaps most compelling of all, he explores reasons why this clearly effective principle is ignored by Western medicine. Drawing on fascinating case studies and personal experiences from his forty-year career as a medical doctor and psychiatrist—as well as abundant clinical, experimental, and public health data that support his seemingly paradoxical assertion—Dr. Goldsmith presents an exciting, revolutionary approach that will change the way you think about medicine and psychotherapy.¶
Book Synopsis Paradox of Conscious Healing by : R. Kelley Otani
Download or read book Paradox of Conscious Healing written by R. Kelley Otani and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2016-12-23 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emotional pain is interconnected with disease and pain. Ten years in the making, Paradox of Conscious Healing explores the power of both the mind and spirituality, along with mind-body healing. By providing step-by-step tools to improve happiness and health, the book will appeal to a wide range of audiences and is intended to not only help individuals with illnesses but to educate medical healthcare providers to assist their patients’ healing. Walking away from his medical practice, Dr. Otani searched to find cures for the incurable. Conventional medicine turns primarily to greater drugs and technology—but at the cost of exponentially greater expense. Dr. Otani’s journey led to the study of consciousness, psychology, and the spiritual healing practices of different religions, including those of the Native American. How was it that avatars of great spiritual traditions were able to perform miraculous healing? Paradox of Conscious Healing has been clinically tested by actual patients to verify its efficacy. Taking the book’s concepts into real life, Dr. Otani instituted a holistic program for his patients based on the concepts in this book. The program was transformative—not only for those patients but for Dr. Otani, as well. The principles presented in this book not only helped patients with their pain but in all aspects of their illness. The lessons in this book also improved the committed participant’s relationships and wealth. It is Dr. Otani’s hope that this book will do the same for you, the reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes a look at the problem of chronic illness and chronic pain and offers new insight into their origins, their meaning in our lives and the very real opportunity they present for our profound and far-reaching healing. Chronic conditions are by definition those which do not respond to our treatment of them. And because we cannot cure them, these intractable problems can offer an opportunity to both doctors and patients to re-examine the whole approach to sickness, pain and disease commonly taken by our society.

Book Synopsis The Paradoxes of Mourning by : Alan D. Wolfelt
Download or read book The Paradoxes of Mourning written by Alan D. Wolfelt and published by Companion Press. This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it comes to healing after the death of someone loved, our culture has it all wrong. We're told to be strong when what we really need is to be vulnerable. We're told to think positive when what we really need is to wallow in the pain. And we're told to seek closure when what we really need is to welcome our natural and necessary grief. Dr. Wolfelt's new book seeks to dispel these misconceptions that we hold on to so tightly and help people everywhere mourn well so they can live fuller lives. The Paradoxes of Mourning discusses three truths that grieving people used to know and respect but in the last century, seem to have forgotten: 1. You must make friends with the darkness before you can enter the light. 2. You must go backward before you can go forward. 3. You must say hello before you can say goodbye. In the tradition of the Four Agreements and the Seven Habits, this compassionate and inspiring guidebook by North America's most beloved grief counselor gives you the three keys that unlock the door to hope and healing.
Book Synopsis Convergence Healing by : Peter Bedard
Download or read book Convergence Healing written by Peter Bedard and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An amazing, proven, 10-point plan that explains noninvasive, life-altering practices to help you permanently heal your mind, body, and spirit. Millions of people suffer from some form of chronic pain (whether it be physical, emotional, or existential), and this discomfort silently drains too many of us of our highest potential and our power. Living in a state of unending pain pushes people to the margins of their own lives and robs them of direct access to their most authentic, essential, worthy selves. Pain, ironically, renders too many beautiful voices mute; it cripples the body, leaving too many dancing souls lost. And nobody knows this better than Peter Bedard. One night, seventeen-year-old dancer, Peter Bedard, died in a traffic accident. The white-bearded messenger waiting at the gate of heaven sent him back to Earth with a task to help others heal. After a decade of debilitating physical and emotional suffering, Peter uncovered an empowered, new way of healing chronic pain without medicine—convergence healing. In his groundbreaking approach, Bedard invites us to look at our pain as the greatest source of wisdom we will ever have. Instead of medicating it, trying to break with it, or somehow outwit it, he invites us to surrender to our pain so that we may finally integrate our losses, our transitions, our heartaches, and our mortality and make peace with the everlasting truth of who, uniquely, we truly are. Through the author’s own near-death experience and other compelling stories and case studies, Convergence Healing offers a whole new body-mind paradigm for those interested in living a balanced, well-integrated life.

This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer. Organ failure. Accelerated aging. Can a single "survival molecule" fuel our most deadly and devastating health concerns? The truth is, the very biochemical mechanisms the body uses to survive are actually making us sick.

Drawing on inspirational healing stories and cutting-edge research, integrative medicine expert Dr. Isaac Eliaz presents a roadmap to master your biochemistry and overcome this paradox. The result? Healing and transformation on every level: physical, mental, and emotional. The Survival Paradox offers a groundbreaking new perspective in medicine-and the key to unlocking your infinite healing potential.
Book Synopsis Narrative and the Cultural Construction of Illness and Healing by : Cheryl Mattingly
Download or read book Narrative and the Cultural Construction of Illness and Healing written by Cheryl Mattingly and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A valuable collection. . . . The essays in the volume are all fresh, the result of recent work, and the opening chapter by Garro and Mattingly places the current trend in narrative analysis in historical context, explaining its diverse origins (and constructs) in a range of disciplines."—Shirley Lindenbaum, author of Kuru Sorcery "A good place to consult the narrative turn in medical anthropology. Thick with the richness and diversity and stubborn resistance to interpretations of human stories of illness. An anthropological antidote for too narrow a framing of the complex tangle of ways-of-being and ways-of-telling that make medicine a space of indelibly human experiences." —Arthur Kleinman, author of The Illness Narratives
Book Synopsis The Paradox of Hope by : Cheryl Mattingly
Download or read book The Paradox of Hope written by Cheryl Mattingly and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2010-12-02 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grounded in intimate moments of family life in and out of hospitals, this book explores the hope that inspires us to try to create lives worth living, even when no cure is in sight. The Paradox of Hope focuses on a group of African American families in a multicultural urban environment, many of them poor and all of them with children who have been diagnosed with serious chronic medical conditions. Cheryl Mattingly proposes a narrative phenomenology of practice as she explores case stories in this highly readable study. Depicting the multicultural urban hospital as a border zone where race, class, and chronic disease intersect, this theoretically innovative study illuminates communities of care that span both clinic and family and shows how hope is created as an everyday reality amid trying circumstances.

Download or read book Healing with Poisons written by Yan Liu and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2021-06-22 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Open access edition: DOI 10.6069/9780295749013 At first glance, medicine and poison might seem to be opposites. But in China’s formative era of pharmacy (200–800 CE), poisons were strategically employed as healing agents to cure everything from abdominal pain to epidemic disease. Healing with Poisons explores the ways physicians, religious figures, court officials, and laypersons used toxic substances to both relieve acute illnesses and enhance life. It illustrates how the Chinese concept of du—a word carrying a core meaning of “potency”—led practitioners to devise a variety of methods to transform dangerous poisons into effective medicines. Recounting scandals and controversies involving poisons from the Era of Division to the Tang, historian Yan Liu considers how the concept of du was central to how the people of medieval China perceived both their bodies and the body politic. He also examines the wide range of toxic minerals, plants, and animal products used in classical Chinese pharmacy, including everything from the herb aconite to the popular recreational drug Five-Stone Powder. By recovering alternative modes of understanding wellness and the body’s interaction with foreign substances, this study cautions against arbitrary classifications and exemplifies the importance of paying attention to the technical, political, and cultural conditions in which substances become truly meaningful. Healing with Poisons is freely available in an open access edition thanks to TOME (Toward an Open Monograph Ecosystem) and the generous support of the University of Buffalo.
Book Synopsis The American Health Care Paradox by : Elizabeth H. Bradley
Download or read book The American Health Care Paradox written by Elizabeth H. Bradley and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreword by Harvey V. Fineberg, President of the Institute of Medicine For decades, experts have puzzled over why the US spends more on health care but suffers poorer outcomes than other industrialized nations. Now Elizabeth H. Bradley and Lauren A. Taylor marshal extensive research, including a comparative study of health care data from thirty countries, and get to the root of this paradox: We've left out of our tally the most impactful expenditures countries make to improve the health of their populations-investments in social services. In The American Health Care Paradox, Bradley and Taylor illuminate how narrow definitions of "health care," archaic divisions in the distribution of health and social services, and our allergy to government programs combine to create needless suffering in individual lives, even as health care spending continues to soar. They show us how and why the US health care "system" developed as it did; examine the constraints on, and possibilities for, reform; and profile inspiring new initiatives from around the world. Offering a unique and clarifying perspective on the problems the Affordable Care Act won't solve, this book also points a new way forward.
