OVERCOMING CANCER: PARTICIPATING IN YOUR HEALTH: HOW YOU INTERPRET THE MEANING OF EVENTS

admin — Tue, 24 May 2011 12:33:39 +0000

It’s not hard to see how other people create the meaning of events in their lives (although it is not quite so easy to see how we ourselves do this). For example, the loss of a job can mean a number of things:

1. A defeat or a sign of failure.

2. A challenge.

3. A chance to start out fresh.

4. A sign that life is unfair.

Which of these meanings people attach to the experience is dependent on other beliefs they have:

1. Perceived opportunities to get other jobs.

2. The degree to which the job was a symbol of personal worth.

3. Beliefs about being in charge of one’s life.

4. Their ability to create a positive new situation.

The principle that you create the meaning of events applies to all the stresses typically identified as occurring prior to the onset of cancer. As painful as some of these experiences can be—loss of a loved one or of an important role, for example— the amount of stress and particularly the degree to which these events make you feel hopeless and helpless are the result of the meaning you attach to the experience. You determine the significance of events.

By exploring the beliefs that limit your responses, by considering alternative interpretations of life’s events and alternative ways of responding, it is possible for you to create positive meanings where negative ones existed before. When the crucial beliefs that have created the blockage in a healthy, forward flow to life are discovered and dislodged, the full energy of life can flow smoothly once again. And with that flow can come the vital force that will restore the body’s natural defenses to normal potency.

Although the exact form this freeing up will take varies from person to person, it almost always involves giving oneself permission to experience life differently. Some people may participate in their health by saying no to others’ expectations, others by saying yes to experiences and parts of themselves they have denied. When the energy begins to flow again, while there will still be problems and stresses to face, they will be faced with the belief that the problems can be solved or at the least coped with—with the belief that one has the power to make decisions that will contribute to getting well again.

SKIN DISORDERS IN ADULTS: FLAKY, WEAK NAILS

admin — Sun, 24 Apr 2011 09:36:38 +0000

Flaky, weak nails are caused by over-exposing the hands to water. Although many people believe that weak nails are due to a hormone or vitamin deficiency, this is not the case. When the hands are immersed in water, the nail cells swell. When the nails dry, the cells shrink. With repeated swelling and shrinking, the nail eventually splits.

The best way to keep your nails strong is to keep your hands out of water. It is therefore important to wear cotton gloves inside rubber or vinyl gloves for all wet work.

The cuticles should not be pushed back as this disturbs nail growth and can lead to infection. It is best to buff nails in the direction of nail growth, rather than against it. Buffing in the wrong direction tends to cause backward peeling of the nails’ top layers (like teasing your hair).

Nail polish protects the nails from water and prevents flaking. Applying nail polish or a top coat every day ‘glues’ the nail cells, preventing them from flaking off. Subsequent coats can be applied over the existing coat. Nail polish removers cause dryness of the nails, making them split more easily.

Nail hardeners are not beneficial and often cause allergic reactions. Moisturizing creams are of limited benefit because they do not penetrate the nails very well.

THE MINDFUL-EATING STYLE: QUESTIONS TO HELP YOU FOCUS

admin — Sat, 19 Feb 2011 08:32:44 +0000

Let’s suppose you are sitting down to a meal. Take a brief time to clear your mind and concentrate on the meal ahead. Relax, and take a deep breath. Slowly exhale. You are not in any hurry. Remind yourself that eating is an important activity in your day and it should not be rushed. Remind yourself that awareness and focus are the keys to your success in overcoming your binge eating.

Look at the food you are about to eat. Take a close look. Silently ask yourself the following questions and think deeply about your answers to each:

What does each item of food look like?

What colors are these foods?

What are the shapes of the foods?

How are the foods arranged on the plate?

How much of each food do I have in front of me?

How big a portion of each food do I have?

As you begin to contemplate these questions, begin eating. I want your eating to be normal so you don’t have to take an extraordinarily long time for these mindfulness questions. After you do this a few times, mindful eating will become more automatic and natural. You’ll begin to think about the details of the food throughout the meal. Don’t think about this as a chore. You are practicing mindful-eating awareness to enhance your enjoyment of the experience and to increase your powers of self-control.

KEY POINTS FOR ACUTE INFECTIOUS DIARRHEAL DISEASES

admin — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 14:59:49 +0000

- Acute infectious diarrhea is a common complaint in the outpatient practice.

- Most cases of diarrhea are mild and self-limited, but severe and life-threatening illness can occur with certain pathogens and in certain demographic groups, most notably the immunosuppressed, the very old, and the very young.

- A detailed history may elicit clues to identify potential causative agents, and the decision to pursue laboratory testing, prescribe empiric antibiotics, or manage conservatively depends on both the suspected enteropathogen and the host.

- Because most death from diarrhea is secondary to dehydration, physicians must counsel patients to be diligent with oral replacement therapy and recognize individuals who are not maintaining adequate hydration so that intravenous therapy can be initiated.

- Physicians should encourage frequent hand washing to prevent the spread of disease, especially among day care workers, employees of nursing homes, and food handlers, who may need to abstain from their activities.

- When diarrhea persists and diagnostic testing fails to identify a pathogen, noninfectious or extra-intestinal causes of diarrhea should be considered, which may prompt further laboratory work, imaging, endoscopy, and referral to a gastroenterologist.

- Further research is needed to develop more concrete algorithms for the diagnosis and treatment of acute diarrhea. Primary care physicians must employ a sound knowledge of epidemiologic risk factors, potential etiologic agents, pathophysiology, and at-risk patients to provide cost-effective care to the many patients seen each year with acute infectious diarrhea.

Heard on the Hill: Rep. Robert Andrews (D-NJ) was heard discussing a money scandal involving Sen. Bob Menendez on a train to Jersey Thursday, before the story broke publicly. Quote: We.

International terrorism a real problem in the world and yet there seems to be some problems on how we should address this. George Soros, who condemns President Bush much in the same way as Hugo Chavez has wrote a piece in the New York Times op-ed section condemning the war on terror and the use of military action.

The International Terrorists and murderers of innocent women and children, which was behind the events of 911; Al Qaeda is failing in their mission. Instead of honoring their ancestry by helping the World they have now dishonored all Arabs, Muslims and Islam. Why did Al Qaeda betray their own people?

As we watch Venezuela try to gather up other nations in the common cause of communism to support them; we see how easy it is to attempt to build a domino line. Unfortunately Communism is not good for nations or the people who live in them. Communism forces down individuals and denies them freedom, liberty and democracy.

Where are America’s New Leaders

admin — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 05:32:34 +0000

Wendy and I reviewed this affairs site recently and were particularly impressed with their attitude towards offering free help and advice

Failure of any government in the World is a scary situation, but it can be much more scary for those who live in the country, as there is always a possibility it could lead to a Dictator or Military Coup taking over and really throwing a wrench into things. It upsets commerce, International Bankers, foreign investment and trade.

Locate fall wedding colors, understanding the importance of them. Consider the type of wedding you are planning, matching the colors to the bride and grooms favorite colors and matching them to the wedding accessories.

Well it looks as if the proverbial brown stuff has hit the fan this time? It seems we have a congressman who seems to think it’s OK to e-mail adolescent boys who are pages and discuss such things as homosexual acts with them?

I recently read a study that indicated that 91% of all people in relationships were not happy. Now I can’t tell you if this percentage is true, if it is an accurate portrayal of the average relationship or an exaggeration to get people’s attention. I don’t know the details or particulars of the study as they were not given in very much depth. But the fact remains, that if 91% of the people surveyed felt this way, can we assume that many other people in general who were not surveyed are not happy as well? I don’t like to make assumptions but this number is really scary.

Lazy Husbands – When He Doesn’t Lift a Finger Around the House

admin — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 05:32:29 +0000

Searching on the internet is a lot faster than looking in more conventional media. This is especially true when you come upon tv sites like this one which cover your topic precisely. The ability to find the information you need on tv – is one of the advantages of the internet.

Probably Not. Most people want to know the truth. So, it must come as no surprise that the subject of liars and how to spot them has been examined for decades.

Executive Dating has tapped into the market for those busy professionals/executives who are often unable, unwilling or simply uninterested in taking part in the singles bar and club scene. As with other single, separated, divorced men and women, they are interested in meeting like-minded, usually well-educated people, who are likely to be employed in responsible management or professional positions.

Your true Nature is beyond the ego. In the emptiness of your true nature, there is no right or wrong. The way we find this emptiness is by feeding the ego balanced information. If there is no right or wrong our identity becomes confused, “then what do I do?” And this is the healing place.

All the points made here regarding tv are perfectly valid but I only agree with some of them
