Pastors and Licensed Mental Health Professionals Working Together
The inspiring journey of Dr. Diane Oliver-Page Hairston is a colourful depiction of how God's plan for our lives started before we could understand the purpose of our why's, how's and whereabouts of the occurrences and events that plays out like a well written parable; in this case, it's a real-life story with a spiritual meaning. God's word in the book of Romans clearly reminds us that we know all things work together for good to them that love God. The caveat is, to them who are the called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). Pastors and Licensed Mental Health Professionals will demonstrate how a young five year old girl found her way home and found God at the same time. We are never alone in our journey. God is always with us as the Holy Spirit guides and protects us along the way.In the many trials and tribulations, as well as the triumphs and victories displayed in Dr. Diane's life, it was evident that God's hand was upon her. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me (Psalm 23:4). In her quest, God has brought her through many dangers seen and unseen for such a time as this to "Keep It Real" as she ministers to others.God must be praised for the things He has done in her life. It is the love of God our Father who shows us through His Son, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, that guided her through this journey called life. "God must be Praised!" This book will introduce to some and transform the lives of others as you experience the voice of God speaking to you in your personal journey knowing that He is chanting, "you can do it," over and over again, to encourage you not to ever give up but to hold on to God's unchanging hands. This race is not given to the swift nor the strong but unto them that endure to the end (Ecclesiastes 9:11).

The Silent Suicide
The Silent Suicide, The Link Between PTSD, Addiction and Breast CancerHave you ever wondered why people get breast cancer? This was a burning question in my mind as to "why." What started out to be a nagging question after watching and helping people personally and professionally suffer from breast cancer ended up being a book. But here it is, after 20 years of thought, research, and my own personal discovery, the answers to my burning question of why people get breast cancer. This book will give some insights as to how these cancers form from a Traditional Chinese Medical standpoint.Traditional Chinese Medicine involves the body, mind, and spirit, and when we look at diseases, the physical will always be equal to the emotional. For example, the root cause of cancer runs deep within a person and can be connected to some unresolved emotional or physical experiences between a mother and child.The book will give the reader a better understanding of how these cancers occur by looking at both TCM and Western Medicine and emotional factors. It will also give you some perspective into healing and resolving the disconnect between body, mind, and spirit.
Gua Sha
Are you aware of the fact that Gua-sha is supposed to handle stagnant energy, called chi; professionals believe that this "chi" is responsible for swellings in any part of the body; swelling is the reason behind several conditions associated with chronic pain. Massaging the skin's surface is considered to help split up this energy, reduce irritation, and promote recovery.As many out there will ask, what's the true definition of Gua-sha? Gua-sha is a part of traditional Chinese medication (TCM); it can also be known as "scraping," "spooning," or "coining." It is professionally used as an instrument to scrape people's pores and skin; it is said to have a therapeutic advantage. The procedure of this particular medication has a French name called tribo-effleurage. Gua-sha is an all-natural option therapy that involves scraping your skin layer with a therapeutic massage tool to boost your blood circulation. This ancient Chinese curing technique provides a unique method of better health and also dealing with issues like chronic pain.In gua-sha, a technician scrapes your skin layer with brief or long strokes to stimulate microcirculation of the smooth cells, which increases blood circulation; they make these strokes with a smooth-edged device known as a Gua-therapeutic massage tool, the specialist applies massage essential oil to your skin layer, and then uses the tool to scrape your skin layer in a downward movement frequently. Where can this be performed? Always note that Gua-sha is usually performed on the back, buttocks, neck, hands, and legs; a mild version from it is even applied to the facial skin as a cosmetic technique. Your specialist may apply moderate pressure, and steadily increase strength to regulate how much pressure you are designed for.I heartily congratulate you for getting your hands on this book which encompasses details of what you could ask for or need in this guide...

Handbook of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging for Physicists
Mathematical modelling is an important part of nuclear medicine. Therefore, several chapters of this book have been dedicated towards describing this topic. In these chapters, an emphasis has been put on describing the mathematical modelling of the radiation transport of photons and electrons, as well as on the transportation of radiopharmaceuticals between different organs and compartments. It also includes computer models of patient dosimetry. Two chapters of this book are devoted towards introducing the concept of biostatistics and radiobiology. These chapters are followed by chapters detailing dosimetry procedures commonly used in the context of diagnostic imaging, as well as patient-specific dosimetry for radiotherapy treatments. For safety reasons, many of the methods used in nuclear medicine and molecular imaging are tightly regulated. Therefore, this volume also highlights the basic principles for radiation protection. It discusses the process of how guidelines and regulations aimed at minimizing radiation exposure are determined and implemented by international organisations. Finally, this book describes how different dosimetry methods may be utilized depending on the intended target, including whole-body or organ-specific imaging, as well as small-scale to cellular dosimetry.This text will be an invaluable resource for libraries, institutions, and clinical and academic medical physicists searching for a complete account of what defines nuclear medicine. The most comprehensive reference available providing a state-of-the-art overview of the field of nuclear medicine Edited by a leader in the field, with contributions from a team of experienced medical physicists, chemists, engineers, scientists, and clinical medical personnel Includes the latest practical research in the field, in addition to explaining fundamental theory and the field's history
