Fundamentals of Radiation Biology
Fundamentals of Radiation Biology presents a contemporary, comprehensive review of the interactions between ionizing radiations and biological materials, tracking the consequences to three inevitable endpoints: cell restitution, cell death, or cell transformation.The introductory narrative is followed by examination of larger scale phenomena including tissue responses to radiation injury, organ failure modes, and resultant human illness including cancer. Ultimately, Fundamentals of Radiation Biology considers circumstantial radiation incidents impacting biological systems including radiological terrorism and radiation pollution remediation. Chapters presenting an overview of carcinogenesis and radiation therapy techniques based in radiobiology discuss two significant expansions central to the concerns of the text.This book takes an unprecedented narrative approach to radiobiology; each chapter expands on the fundamentals surveyed previously to lead the reader steadily to a panorama of radiation biocomplexity. No biological event happens in isolation. Actions evoke reactions that alter structures and cause living systems to adapt. It also examines the components constituting mammalian radiation response machinery and correlates them with resultant physiological behaviors.

The Dislocated Brain
The Dislocated Brain presents the innovative protocols of cranio fascial dynamics (CFD). CFD addresses traumatic brain injury and physically attempts to reverse traumatic distortion and the subsequent failure of brain drainage, thereby reinstating normal physiological function. CFD deals with the 'central brain core components' that make up the intricate neurological pathways that service all aspects of brain function. It includes: the understanding of early (from day 16 to day 23) embryological development of the 'primitive streak' (brain and spinal cord); the development of 'mesenchyme', which is the future fascial covering that encapsulates every part and component of the body; the ventricular system (producing cerebrospinal fluid), supported by the retrieving and processing components as listed above. CFD shows the hierarchical importance of these structures in human development. These areas are fundamental to normal brain function, namely, the retrieval, processing and dissemination of neurological information. Traumatic brain injury torques the spinal cord and the brainstem (the 'central brain core component'), and therefore disturbs the homeostasis of normal retrieval, processing and distribution of neurological information through the now distorted and corrupt neurological pathway system. This is the first primary deficit to neurological imbalance, which I call 'the dislocated brain'. The effect of torque on the neurological pathways is not unlike the buildup of scale in water pipes, gradually depositing 'fur' and reducing the flow of water. Similarly, in the brain this torque will inhibit the normal retrieval, processing and dissemination of neurological information. The purpose of this book is to give the reader the physiology and the understanding of the reinstatement of the 'central brain core component' by the removal of the central brain core component torque, which is the deepseated ultimate 'subluxation'. The body and brain are now in a position to accept the numerous techniques that aid in the recovery of the neurological deficits, visceral changes and extremity distortions with far more effective outcomes.

Where Spirit Touches Matter
Inspired by his immigrant physician mother, who surmounted multiple obstacles in her forty-five year-career, Dr. Friedman worked through a twenty-year battle with depression to realize the life-saving power of committing himself to love, spirit, and service. This story of his personal journey toward wholeness offers thoughtful advice for those who suffer and encouragement for those aspiring to careers in the healing arts. Where Spirit Touches Matter: A journey toward wholeness is a book about health, healing, and hope by a physician who has spent more than thirty-five years helping patients find relief from pain and suffering. Dr. Friedman writes: "On a journey to Tibet, while circling what is widely considered the holiest mountain on Earth, Mount Kailash, which sources the five great rivers of Asia with its runoff, I heard the myth that one of the rivers, the Saraswati, existed only in nonmaterial form. In this form, it contributed a spiritual and vitalistic energy to the holy Ganges, which arises at the convergence of four rivers in the Himalayan region of India."Eight years later, on my last journey to India, I stood in front of the gorge where the Saraswati River originates, and I wept. I wept because I saw that the nonmaterial had become material, and that the chasm between the mythological and the physically real had been bridged. This is the meeting place of spirit and matter that I have pursued in endless forms throughout my life."This book chronicles a sampling of my experiences of that space between. It honors the continuously moving stream running through all of time and space, filled wholly with the presence of a loving consciousness. I am grateful to have been a participant in the flow of that stream and to have been given the opportunity to return whatever love I can into that current."

Your Mind Can Heal You
Frederick Bailes (1889-1970) was born in New Zealand and educated to be a medical missionary. Just as he was completing his training he was diagnosed with diabetes, which prevented him from entering his work. Then he came across the writing of Judge Thomas Troward and began to develop a philosophy for living which led to his complete recovery long before the discovery of insulin. In "Your Mind Can Heal You" Bailes provides a seven step approach to spiritual mind treatment. It starts, he says, "with the fundamental truth that the person for whom we are treating is a perfect idea in the Mind of God, and our whole procedure during a treatment is intended to remove from our own mind any idea or picture of imperfection or sickness."

Defeating Dysautonomia
It takes a story like Tara's to touch our heart, teach us empathy, and to trust God more than we ever imagined possible.-Tammy WhitehurstAuthor Tara Smith Johnson swallows nine hundred pills a month and daily drinks over two quarts of liquid and eats three tablespoons of salt-just to keep from passing out. Navigating life with dysautonomia is no laughing matter. While the natural body works as it should, a body wracked with dysautonomia-an autonomic nervous system disorder-does not. For years Tara sought answers for why she kept falling and reacting to environmental elements, to no avail. When bedridden for a season, she began color coding Bible passages, which helped her listen to the Lord as her professional healthcare team worked to find hope, healing, and a solid plan for maintaining a manageable lifestyle. She wasn't going down without a fight-and a plethora of prayers and Scriptures.Defeating Dysautonomia: One Spoon at a Time with Faith, Hope, and Love is her brave, resilient story, and each insightful chapter - accompanies clinical responses from various medical professionals who have helped her along her arduous journey, offering a common-sense approach when experiencing symptoms associated with chronic illnesses and autoimmune diseases;- weaves comforting, empowering Scriptures, helpful, healing solutions, and thoughtful clinical responses from the doctors who have walked with her;- offers the chronic illness community encouragement that they too can find hope and healing toward a manageable lifestyle.Tara Smith Johnson founded the national and global nonprofit Hope for Team Tara, where she educates others about dysautonomia and offers advocacy for the chronic illness community.
Writing Acupuncture Case Reports
For centuries, case reports have been written to capture the realities of clinical practice. However, in recent years, with the advent of evidence-based medicine, case report writing has languished. Prioritizing evidence of large-scale clinical trials but neglecting insights gleaned from the clinical practice of traditional acupuncture may hold back its potential to address the needs of individual patients.Writing Acupuncture Case Reports: Theory and Practice discusses the importance of writing acupuncture case reports for education, research, and practice. In addition to providing a step-by-step guide to writing a rigorous case report, this book outlines the benefits of case reports that extend beyond simply recording unusual clinical situations or warning of adverse effects.Writing Acupuncture Case Reports: Theory and Practice shows how case reports can be used to individualize effective treatment based on traditional theory, demonstrate a particular approach to acupuncture, or illustrate ways to collaborate in integrative practice. A close look at case reports reveals them to be an overlooked yet valuable source of evidence for patient-centered care that can still greatly advance the practice of acupuncture.
