Medical Terminology: A Word-Building Approach (6th Edition) (Paperback) newly tagged "health"

The sixth edition of Medical Terminology  A Word Building Approach  is organized by body systems and specialty areas.  Its primary approach, is the word-building technique . Combining forms and word roots are integrated into each chapter of the text, according to body system or specialty area. Suffixes and prefixes are presented in Chapters 2 and 3 and are then reinforced throughout the text. To build a medical vocabulary, all one has to do is recall the word parts that have been learned and then link them with the new component parts presented in each chapter. It is much easier to learn component parts directly associated with a body system or specialty area, and this is the key to the time-proven approach of Medical Terminology  A Word Building Approach.

Counterclockwise: Mindful Health and the Power of Possibility (Hardcover) newly tagged "health"

Michael Hogan, National University of Ireland, Galway: michael.hogan@nuigalway.ie

This review is based on my reading of all 4 of Ellen Langer's books, which I was inspired to read after meeting Ellen in Harvard recently.

--

Ellen Langer is one of the most vivacious women I have ever met. Upon arriving to meet her in Harvard's William James Hall, I was actually extremely ill, but mindlessly ignoring the symptoms. The painful and yet irrelevant swelling in my right leg and the weak and feverish state that led me to sleep through a very stimulating lecture by Daniel Dennett, was in fact a serious blood infection that would later result in my hospitalization. Little did I know that my conversation with Ellen Langer would be the thing that completely transformed my hospital experience from a potentially stressful, painful nuisance into a very interesting and rewarding experience. And notwithstanding the fact that I could hardly talk, in our short walk from Ellen's office to the Harvard clinic (where Ellen was going to get a cut in her hand seen to, the cause of which she transformed into a very interesting story) we designed three experiments and I experienced firsthand, in vivo, decades of research on social and developmental psychology, and on mindfulness, creativity and decision-making.

To understand the transformative power of Ellen Langer's perspective, and to better understand her creative action, I believe it is useful to experience firsthand her version of mindfulness -- the act of noticing new things -- which is actually very easy to practice, if for no other reason than it energizes and engages us and opens us to new possibilities. Further, it is useful to consider the way Langer applies her version of mindfulness to understanding of social psychology and developmental psychology phenomena, and science generally. Her thought, as laid out in her four books on mindfulness and in her many empirical papers, represents a veritable stream of understanding that liberates one from a constrained, passive, rigid view of reality, possibility, and human potential.

Noticing new things

Ellen and I both teach social psychology. A critical reading of social psychology reveals much to us about the conditions under which people impose rigid, stereotyped views upon themselves and other people, and the conditions under which behavior is a rigid function of contextual control [1]. What is often so startling to students who first discover social psychology research is just how rigid, stereotypical, and limited our worldviews and our behaviors often are. Nevertheless, every year, one or two students in my first year social psychology class approach with great excitement and tell me how inspired they are to discover all these human limitations so carefully catalogued by social psychologists. Awareness of the conditions shaping rigid, stereotyped thinking and action, they tell me, has actually liberated them. Some report feeling more open to experience, less rigid in their evaluation of self, other, and world. They report clearer perception, greater awareness of the subtle nuances of experience. They are noticing new things. They are energized and inspired. Some go a step further, extrapolating and anticipating the open field of possibilities: they report a transition from mindless acceptance of all that they know and feel and do, to mindful awareness of all that they can know and all that they can feel and can do. Their prior learning no longer dominates the way they interpret the present moment. The fullness of the present moment itself and the possibility space that opens by virtue of the fusion of present moment with the ineffable future moment infuse their field of action with a new radiance. All is new. The well-springs of creativity are open. Reality and potentiality comes flooding in.

Mindless reading of health-related information

Some students, I believe, remember the raw significance of their inspired insight as they progress to higher levels of ability and skill -- they remember to notice new things -- they remember mindfulness. It's a subtle change in thinking, says Langer, although not difficult to make once we realize how stuck we are in culture, language, and modes of thought that limit our potential. Social psychology education provides a wonderful opportunity to shed light upon mindfulness and mindlessness. Experimental social psychology is full of examples of the price people can pay for mindless learning, or mindless assimilation of their `culture'. Research by Chanowitz and Langer (1981), for example, demonstrates the negative consequences of mindless reading of medical information. They provided students with information booklets about a disorder called "chromosythosis", a condition that could lead to diminished hearing. Some of the students were told that 80% of the population had the disorder and they were asked to imagine how they might help themselves if they were diagnosed as having "chromosythosis". Another group was told that only 10% of the population had it, making the disease seem less relevant to them, and they were simply asked to read through the information booklets. All students were then tested to see if they had the disorder and all were told that, yes, they did indeed have it.

In the next phase of the experiment, participants were tested using a series of objective hearing tests. Those participants who were led to believe that the disorder was less relevant to them and who simply read through the information booklets, performed significantly worse on the hearing tests than the group who were led to believe that the disorder was potentially relevant to them and who also thought through the consequences of having the disorder. Langer describes this as one example of the negative effects of premature cognitive commitments. Specifically, when information is mindlessly received and accepted without critical question or creative `what if' deliberation, we run the risk of implicitly committing to a singular, rigid understanding of the information. When later we are faced with a situation where this `prior learning' is brought to bear on our action in context, we may find ourselves functionally constrained by the rigid understanding we have implicitly established. Mindless reading and mindless learning result in mindless reactivity.

Mindful Health and the power of possibility

Langer considers how mindfulness operates when people learn that they have cancer. Although science is learning that cancer can be a chronic condition or even fully treatable, most of us, says Langer, mindlessly assume that cancer is a "killer". Rather than being mindfully aware of our symptoms and the conditions associated with the presence and absence of symptoms at any given moment in time, rather than being mindfully aware of the variable nature of our interactions with medical professionals, friends, and family, or changes in the way we work and play, and so on, one possible outcome is that the trauma associated with the diagnosis of cancer leads us to identify fully with the label "cancer patient". As soon as we identify with the label, all the preconceived ideas we ascribe to the label come to control our behavior.

But this is only one possibility and not everyone responds in the same way when diagnosed with cancer. Langer refers to research by Sarit Golub (2004) conducted in Harvard. Golub found that while some people diagnosed with cancer add cancer to their identity, others let the diagnosis take over their identity, with the latter group faring less well on measures of recovery and psychological well-being.

Langer suggests that mindfulness makes us more optimistic because we are open and attentive to possibilities, and that this in turn facilitates recovery. Research does suggest a relationship between mindfulness and optimism [2], and between optimism and recovery from coronary artery bypass surgery [3]. Converse to the view that optimists have a rosy view of their future that invariably leads them to ignore their present circumstances, Langer believes that mindful optimists are likely to pay greater attention to their recovery than do pessimists, and in so doing they aid the recovery process and help anticipate complications.

Nevertheless, mindless optimism and mindless pessimism may lead people to invest more heavily in positive or negative systems of belief than in reality itself and the possibilities that reality presents [4]. Thus, mindful optimism is unique: optimal well-being, according to some, hinges on a capacity to open oneself to the subtleties and complexities of reality and thus inhibit cognitive commitments that pit belief against experience [5]. One belief that Langer asks us to be mindful of in this context is the belief that science trumps experience. If, for example, we blindly assume that medical science is simply better than our own experience in informing our judgment and action, we may be inclined to mindlessly hand over control of our health to the `experts' and thus ignore the subtle variation in our experience (e.g., our experience of symptoms) and contextual variables that impinge upon our experience. Again, by accepting some label attached to us in consultation with a doctor (e.g., "chronic pain patient") we may come to assume more stability in our condition than there is; we may hand over control of our condition to others, and thus negate the possibility space that opens to us when we are mindfully aware of our condition.

Mindful awareness of our state can enhance our ability to control our state. Read more ›

Thongs Are 4 The Marriage Bed And Not the Pulpit (Paperback) newly tagged "health"

Prophetess De-Borah A. Champion is the 9th of 10 children. She was found sitting on the steps of the Progressive Baptist Church in below zero temperatures, by the Late Dr. Charles A. Threatts, who raised her there for over 20 years; birthing her into the vessel God has called her to be. After experiencing many hellish storms and one almost taking her life, she cried out to God for peace, and God responded, "Prophesy to the Nations". In 1996, Out of obedience to the commandment of God, she had to leave her home Church of over 20 years. On Friday January 23, 1998, Prophetess Champion received a phone call that The Late Prophet Nathan Simmons was in town, and this was his last night in revival @ James Temple Church of God in Christ. Prophetess Champion and her friends were led to attend the revival, and it was that night that Prophet Nathan Simmons anointed this Woman of God and told her that, "God will be the true surgeon, and there will be a quick recovery". On January 26, 1998, Prophetess Champion underwent a 7 hour brain & spinal surgery, resulting from a birth defect that went undetected for 28 1/2 years, and should have killed her by age 7. After the surgery, doctors told her mother that "it's now 50/50" and all we can do is just wait!"

After waking up in recovery, Prophetess Champion remembered the words of Prophet Nathan Simmons, held on to that prophesy, and Sunday April 19, 1998 (3 months after her 1st brain & spinal surgery); she made history in Charleston, West Virginia as she was the 1st Woman to ever preach at The Liberty Baptist Church of Charleston, West Virginia in the 89 year history of the Church.. She responds, "TO GOD BE THE GLORY"! On May 24, 1999, Prophetess Champion underwent brain surgery for the 2nd time, and God showed out again as she recovered in 7 weeks. On May 9th, 2000 @ a Holy Spirit Conference, Bishop Bobby Hilton of Word of Deliverance obeyed God by releasing a Prophetic word to the Prophetess: "God is going to do something so miraculous with your Ministry that the Church and Society will never understand." In August of 2000, she was commissioned by God to join the New Prospect Baptist Church, under the auspices of Damon Lynch III. It was in a Thursday Night Meeting, that Pastor Lynch told Prophetess Champion that God already showed him she was coming, so he revealed his vision for New Prospect to her. Under Pastor Lynch, she learned how to love those rejected by society and the Church. It was during her own homelessness that she aided Pastor Lynch during the 2001 Riots of Cincinnati, OH; leading drug addicts, prostitutes, and the homeless to Christ. She often wondered why she had to become homeless to be effective in such a powerful Ministry, that being the New Wineskin Ministry. She was reminded of the Apostle Paul's words, "I had to become as they were to gain them." Prophetess Champion truly understands that "it is not the well that need a physician, but the sick."

She was educated in the Public School System where she graduated From High School with a 1.6 G.P.A. due to her brain deformity. She attended God's Bible School and College in Cincinnati OH, and obtained above a 3.0. Prophetess Champion is also a Licensed Managing Cosmetologist and Author of 8 Books in 2 1/2 years. She is currently working on her 9th literary work. On February 27th, 2011, Prophetess Champion modeled at the 1st Nobel Experience Fashion Show Featuring the Policeman vs. The Fire Fighters vs. the Ministers of Cincinnati, OH and WON The NOBLE EXPERIENCE AWARD....On April 1st, 2011, she was Consecrated and Affirmed as an Apostle in Cincinnati, OH by her Spiritual father & Covering, Apostle/Bishop Harold E.

SUPERFOODS POWER Volume 2: DIABETES - 7 Top Diabetes-Fighting & Blood-Sugar Kicking Superfoods (Kindle Edition) newly tagged "health"

Hi there... and thanks for reading my page!

Charles W. James - I'm 35 years of age (born in 1976) and was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease in 2005. Like millions of other sufferers of Crohn's or any disease, my experience has been difficult. Those early times after the onset were a bumpy ride filled with frustrations.

Even though I was in my late 20s, I felt aged far beyond my years. Extreme weakness to the point where I could barely walk on my own. There were so many times when I honestly did not know how I could go on like that. Of course I was taking medication, but my success with it was far less than spectacular. So I slowly realized the need to look at other approaches.

After a good deal of research, I discovered Crohn's sufferers who experienced success and relief through diet. People were controlling and managing their condition by eating certain types of foods!

I immediately made changes in my own diet. I cannot tell you my feelings about the results because they were so positive and most of all - fast. All that pain subsided and disappeared along with a restoration of youthful vigor and energy. It was like turning the clock back. And when you are that young and feeling so much older, it felt like some kind of miracle.

I am not exaggerating one bit when I say it felt like a miracle in my life.

One natural offshoot of my experience was a great interest in diet and nutrition. I have read quite a bit about those subjects since then. I tested a lot of ideas and approaches, even though it takes time to do this. The effects of dietary changes are not immediate, as you can imagine. But I did finally hit the target with the SCD diet because that was the first one that really worked very well for my condition.

However, there were several important things about my condition I had to address.

I changed to what is called the GAPS diet which is a similar approach to the SCD diet. I had to accomplish two goals. First, I had to stop the general deterioration of the gut. The GAPS diet includes "Superfoods" that help to bring about a healing of the damage to the gut.

All this brings us to the Paleo diet because it is one that has brought so many benefits to people in many different situations. The general "Paleo" approach to nutrition and diet has been shown to offer positive medical benefits for anyone. Those who are sick with certain conditions have seen improvement. But you don't need to have a problem to reap solid health rewards. You can improve your existing good health and use it as a proactive and preventive approach.

Today, my diet can be considered a hybrid of SCD, GAPS, Superfoods, and Paleo diet principles.

Pilates Evolution - The 21st Century (Paperback) newly tagged "health"

Much has changed in the 21st Century since 1934 when Joseph Pilates wrote his first book (Your Health) about fitness and health. In 1945, he followed up that first expression of fitness theories and principles with his detailed and definitive book of exercises, Return to Life through Contrology. Both of these original books were copyrighted and republished by us, and have now received new updates for the 21st Century. This book is the natural evolution of his original work, elucidating, expanding on, and demonstrating where Pilates' fitness is moving currently.

Inside this new book, Pilates Evolution:

- Joe's original, copyrighted exercise photograph sequences, poses and instructions from his original writings, and fundamental to his exciting fitness program.

- Joe's original words enunciating his very personal Twentieth Century philosophies, principles, and theories about health and fitness.

- The very latest in 21st Century modifications, methodology, and enhancements to Pilates exercises, using variations in body positioning, balancing, centering, and aligning, both with and without additional exercise props.

Joseph Pilates based his work on the concept of a balanced body and mind and on the approach espoused by the early Greeks. New practitioners of Pilates' forms and exercises in the 21st Century continue to expand upon this earlier work by presenting a variety of creative new approaches involving circular movements, standing postures, and core strengthening exercises using props such as tubes, weights, poles, bands, magic circles, mini-balls, stability balls, foam rollers and more.

Joseph Pilates has been nothing short of revolutionary in his impact on the world of fitness and exercise. You will learn in this book his original observations and conclusions about people's approach to physical fitness. He describes the results of decades of scientific study, experimentation and research into the variety of troubles and ills that upset the balance of body and mind. You will also learn every single one of his original 34 mat exercises taught to his own students.

Living testimony to the validity of his own teachings, Joseph Pilates shares in these writings his fundamental tenets of posture, body mechanics, correct breathing, spinal flexibility, physical education, and his law of natural exercises. It is a fascinating look into Pilates' original thinking and represents the foundation of an entire discipline embraced by fitness enthusiasts, health educators, and exercise trainers around the world.

Sugar addiction is affecting millions in the U.S., though many do not realize that they are addicted or where the addictive substance exists (or how ever present it is) in their diet.

When I bring up harmful sugar, perhaps you think of that old cliché about kids eating birthday cake and then jumping off the walls. That one’s actually not accurate, as studies have shown there are no links between kids’ sugar binges and their hyper diapers, but there’s no need to tell them that.

And the truth about sugar is much, much worse.

How To Give a Shit About Your Health: Straight-up advice for getting healthy, fit, and energized for life (Kindle Edition) newly tagged "health"

Owner and head fitness nut at Ki Health & Fitness in Vancouver, BC, Karina Inkster is a certified personal trainer with a Master's degree in Gerontology, specializing in health and aging.

Karina has been weight training, swimming, running, cycling, and power yoga-ing her way to fitness since 2003. Karina deals with a potentially life-threatening allergic condition which prohibits her from training after having eaten within 8 hours, in case a food triggers a serious allergic reaction when coupled with exercise. She also faces severe seasonal allergies and asthma that limit her activity for 5 months each year, as well as weekly allergy shots after which she can't train - again due to anaphylaxis risk. Yet, with careful planning and unwavering dedication, she trains consistently 6 days per week (even while in full time graduate school and working 3 jobs).

Karina understands the many challenges involved in maintaining an active lifestyle, and aims to live by example in overcoming her own obstacles. She helps clients to enjoy working out, and to fit regular exercise into their busy lives.

When she's not lifting weights, swimming, running, working with clients, or writing, Karina plays Australian didgeridoo and piano, designs and creates jewelry, makes paper art with Origami and paper filigree (a.k.a. quilling), or cranks up her favourite reggae music.
