submitted by: admin on 11/23/2024
Lonliness and isolation increase our risk for morbidity and mortality by up to 500%. Our survival depends on the healing power of love, intimacy and relationships at every level.

submitted by: admin on 11/23/2024
Subtle energy, chakras, meridians, auras, prana, chi, etc are being talked about but putting them all together is challenging. Science rigidly rejects what it does not understand in a very unscientific way! Turning to outcome-based research is becoming a necessity.

Mastering the Mind of the Body with Julie Motz
submitted by: admin on 10/10/2013
In Chinese medicine the liver meridian runs through the knee and so does anger. Repetitive anger wears on the knee. The meaning of emotions and why they developed needs to be worked out. Working out how it feels when one wins and loses is a great way to begin the healing exploration. The hidden emotional agendas need to be worked out before healing can begin.
MDs Too Quick to Reach for Prescription Pads
submitted by: admin on 10/11/2013
US doctors are too quick to reach for their prescription pads according to the Center for Patient Safety Research and Practice. Half of all Americans took at least one prescription drug during the previous month and 1/3 of all people over 60 take five or more drugs! MDs also tend to use the latest and greatest pills rather than those that have been time tested....

submitted by: admin on 10/11/2013

Reducing medicine to economics makes a mockery of the bond between...

Memory and Stress Lead to Early Re-admissions to the Hospital
submitted by: admin on 02/19/2015
Hospital re-admission rates were studied by Henry Ford Hospital researchers on patients with congestive heart failure. What they found was a bit surprising because it wasn't the severity of their congestive heart failure that determined re-admissions. They reported that a history of psychiatric problems such as depression, anxiety and other mood disorders...
Mind With Matter with Phillip Scott, PhD
submitted by: admin on 10/11/2013
Mind over matter is the cliché? However, Chief Black Horse makes the distinction between "over" and "with" in a very interesting way. There is no adversarial relationship between the mind and body, so where does the "over" come from. There is an energy of body, mind, emotion, and spirit, yet they are still one. Deification...
