Reconnecting to Self-Healing
If you want to survive any kind of crisis, you must defend yourself. This does not mean that you must be in a constant struggle or fight. It is not about living in a defensive mode. In my opinion, it means to be aware of the red lights in your heart, your mind, or your spirit. To ignore these signals is to deliver control of your life or your health to an alien entity. As I have said repeatedly, only you know what really happens in your body. It seems a great responsibility to learn to know ourselves. In general, no one educates us for that. For instance, if we present symptoms, they can be quieted with medicine, but in many cases, we need to get to the bottom of the symptom to eradicate the root problem. If we do not know ourselves, if we do not listen or understand the language of our bodies, if we turn a deaf ear to our hearts, then time will take care of making us face that situation, sooner or later. I think it's vital that we teach our children to listen to themselves. We should give them, when the occasion warrants it, the opportunity to choose a solution for their problems. In this way, they will have the chance to make contact with their truth. In the same way, if they tell us they're feeling pain or distress, we must give them that credit so as not to silence their souls.

Raw
Marking the tenth anniversary of Unlimited Intimacy, Tim Dean's seminal work, Raw returns to the question of sex without condoms, or barebacking, a timely topic in the age of PrEP, a drug that virtually eliminates the transmission of HIV. The authors in Raw push Dean's conclusions and show the urgent need to consider condomless sex, as it is still illegal for HIV-positive people in many jurisdictions. "Significantly broadens the field of scholarship on bareback, notably by including pieces on bareback in heterosexual pornography, by making connections with lesbian and BDSM identities and practices, and by discussing the experience of Black bareback bottoms and treating sex education considerations." --Oliver Davis, author of Jacques Ranci癡re Contributors: Jonathan A.

A Dovetale Press Adaptation of Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
This 64-paged, large print book is a dementia-friendly adaptation of Alcott's classic story of the March sisters, Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy. It has been included in Dovetale Press's series of four adaptations of classic novels and a poetry collection, created for people living with dementia.People living with dementia have difficulties reading standard texts because of problems with memory, which can be particularly frustrating if reading was a favourite pastime for them pre-dementia. Specific challenges that they face in reading are daunting amounts of text, fonts which are too small or not distinct enough, insufficient white space on a page, and difficulty in following the thread of a plot. It can be challenging to understand a story if sentences are very long, if there is a lot of descriptive 'padding', or if pronouns are sometimes separated from the nouns to which they refer by a lengthy sentence or a page turn. However, Dovetale Press editors Dr Sally Rimkeit, a psychogeriatrician, and Dr Gillian Claridge, an applied linguist, believe that people living with dementia do not need to be deprived of the joy of reading simply because they can no longer tackle standard books.In the Dovetale Press series, Drs Rimkeit and Claridge have addressed these challenges for readers with memory impairment. They have created versions of the classics in which text not essential to the stories has been removed, shortening them considerably and clarifying the plot. The books are lighter than standard novels and easy to hold, thus manageable by the physically frail. The referents in the stories have been made very clear, and the pages are designed so that each double page can be read as a single entity, which means that if a person cannot remember what happened on the previous pages, the reading can still be a pleasurable experience. In order to prompt imperfect memories, there are 'cast lists' for each novel, and where appropriate a summary is provided after each chapter.Although parts of the texts have been cut, this has in no way dumbed down the rich, vibrant language of the novels, and they retain as far as possible the authors' original language. The poems in the poetry collection are not adapted, but have been selected from poetry likely to be known to the intended audience, or to appeal to them. All the books are enhanced by beautiful illustrations, some of which were included in the original publications.
A Dovetale Press Adaptation of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
Dickens' A Christmas Carol tells the story of miserly Ebenezer Scrooge, whose response to Christmas is that anyone who celebrates it should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart. In the course of the story, Dickens relates how Scrooge himself has a change of heart after three ghostly visitations. It's a story that will be familiar to many readers, but one that bears frequent re-telling, with its wonderful description, story-telling, and humour. Hence it has been included in Dovetale Press's series of four adaptations of classic novels and a poetry collection, created for people living with dementia.People living with dementia have difficulties reading standard texts because of problems with memory, which can be particularly frustrating if reading was a favourite pastime for them pre-dementia.

Diabetes-related Knowledge Among Middle-aged African American Women in North Texas
The book is rooted from the idea that Blacks/African American women are more susceptible to suffering from Type-II diabetes; and are unable to manage the disease effectively. My study was to explore why Blacks/African American women are not able to manage the disease compared to other demography. Prior research had indicated that Blacks/African American women are disproportionately affected by diabetes and have a higher incident of diabetes related complications. In the course of my investigation, I discovered that this population are denied access to affordable quality healthcare services and Medicaid insurance. During the studies, data were collected from among the demographic groups from churches, clinics, public libraries, city halls and other public places. Over one hundred and twenty participants responded to the survey questionnaire on Survey Monkey platform. The relationship between self-care efficacy and self-care knowledge, self-care efficacy and self-care management, self-care knowledge and self-care management were tested. The result indicated a moderate correlation, but statistically significantly relationship among the variable.

People living with diabetes can cure diabetes by adopting Urine Therapy.
Oh Hell A diary of war, dementia, love, and a glass or two of red wine.
I started to write this book as a doodle, why not, as that is how I started writing in the first place. Yes a doodle but a cathartic doodle, one that was not meant to go anywhere except to the unfinished manuscript folder on my PC. But like a truck with a heavy load on a downward slope, it took off, faster and faster, not easily stopped. Of course it helped that periods of my family's history is interesting, but it was more than that. There was a compulsion, an imperative that was larger than me. The story that needed to be told is one of insidious illnesses that affects a large percentage of the population of western society - the illnesses are dementia, depression, anxiety and panic attacks. This is a story of people, real people, and how their lives were destroyed by these diseases. It is about the ravages of World War Two and Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, and although my life has not been unduly affected by their diseases it is often a destroyer of the loved ones of the diseased. As this is a story about people with various afflictions, I wanted it to remain about those people and so have not deviated with long medical descriptions or treatments, and have kept complex terminology to a minimum. And although I want to highlight the plight of those with the afflictions so readers can understand how sad and debilitating they are, it is a story and not a textbook, and so that is why I have kept complexity from it. The same with geographical detail and history, where I have given just enough to round out the story and not to flummox.It is the real story of war, love, hate and disease - but more importantly, it is the story of life. The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven John Milton
I Don't Look Like What I've Been Through!
The book I Don't Look Like What I've Been Through ....by Deborah Thomas is an on- time testament of the healing power of God, walking by faith, and refusing to live in fear and silence. This book is for all women, but especially our African-American sisters. We fulfill so many roles whether at home or in our jobs or careers. Too often we care for others more than ourselves.

Her latter years were her best years. She was a survivor. Deborah and the women who share their stories are survivors-- and so are you. I highly recommend you read this book and love yourself enough to take charge of your health. Your body, family, and friends will thank you. Valeria Penny, MA Counselor/Educator Sanford, Florida Stop everything! Deborah Thomas sounds an alarming and frightening health cry against breast cancer which disproportionately affects African-American women! It's as though she pleads, "stop everything" and get checked! She also provides necessary steps, guides, and information for heathier living. This book must not only be read by all African-American women, but also by all African-American husbands, dads, brothers and sons. We all must help prevent the loss; because, when our women lose, the entire village loses! Pastor Clarence Oliver, M. Div. Advancing the Kingdom Ministries With compassion and honesty, author Deborah Thomas a woman of faith, entwines Holy Scriptures using analogies on how women treat their bodies along with valuable solutions. This book is written in anticipation that the chain of silence will be broken as well as to eradicate the high percentage of deaths of breast cancer.

Bredesen MD" diet regime, which will make you feel really Alzheimer disease.This cookbook is packed with mind blowing recipes to help in reversing cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease.

De kennis en beheersing van de voortplanting processen is de mens ook in de veehouderij gaan gebruiken. Sinds de jaren vijftig van de 20e eeuw is de intensieve veeteelt sterk toegenomen. Ondertussen neemt het aantal kankerziekten toe en is kanker tegenwoordig de belangrijkste oorzaak van chronische ziekten en vroegtijdige sterfte bij ouderen.Het varken werd vroeger gehouden als voedselreserve voor de koude wintermaanden. Hammen en worsten etc. Wij zijn steeds meer vlees gaan eten zonder groente en fruit. Het thema "kunstmatige voortplanting bij zoogdieren voor verhoging van de vleesproductie" is nog niet eerder zo gebracht. Verduurzaming van de veeteelt gaat zeker niet werken om de opwarming en het verlies aan plant- en diersoorten tegen te gaan. Om het niet alleen bij een onheilsboodschap te laten doe ik voorstellen ten aanzien van meer plantaardige voeding en voor energie transitie in de vorm van chemische bereiding van waterstof voor brandstofcellen. Wat heeft energie transitie met schadelijke gevolgen van sterk toegenomen vleesproductie te maken? Boeren kunnen met een energiecentrale voor warmte en LED-verlichting een nieuwe bestemming aan hun stallen geven. Aardbeien, champignons, paprika, sla, druiven en ananas kunnen nu ook in de winter geproduceerd worden. Bij lokale productie met een groter aanbod en diversiteit van groente en fruit zal de aanvoer over de evenaar ook verminderen.

Prostate Cancer Strikes
At 57 years old, Gogs was only a few years into his retirement when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. In great shape and with no symptoms, the idea that he had cancer came as a complete shock. To help cope with the experience, Gogs turned to research and writing, finding the process therapeutic-so much so that he wrote a book sharing intimate details of his diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. "Most men who are diagnosed [with prostate cancer] deal with it as best they can," says David R. Con, Library Journal reviewer and prostate cancer survivor. "They inform their families and rapidly learn about the disease. They take stock and do a bit of soul-searching. They consult doctors and choose and medical treatment. Gogs did all that and more." A candid and well-researched guide for those facing prostate cancer, their partners, and medical professionals, Prostate Cancer Strikes has been distributed Canada-wide in the Reef Knot Kit by Prostate Cancer Foundation BC. It has also be adopted in clinics worldwide, including the US, UK, and Belgium, and earned the endorsement of Dr. Tom Pickles, one of Canada's most distinguished radiotherapists treating prostate cancer. Other experts in the field who have recommended this book include Beau Stubblefield-Tave, past Executive Director of Us TOO International Prostate Cancer Education & Support Network and Ted Butterfield, past Chair of the Prostate Cancer Foundation BC. Richard Wassersug is a researcher in psycho-oncology and a prostate cancer patient, and wrote one of the two forewords for Prostate Cancer Strikes. "Gogs Gagnon's Prostate Cancer Strikes in the best [book on prostate cancer] I have read so far. It is medically accurate, well-written, and insightful while maintaining a positive perspective." An article by Gogs was published in Coping Magazine telling the full story of how he came to write the book. Those interested in following Gogs' work can check out his blog at gogsgagnon.com, subscribe to his YouTube channel at youtube.com/c/gogsgagnon, and connect with him on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram at @gogsgagnon.

Fears and choices abound, along with the need to understand the nature and ramifications of the specific illness. Having witnessed this devastating predicament among countless patients in his own extensive practice as a cancer specialist, Dr. Michael Sherry felt compelled to write a lucid and comprehensive cancer handbook for patients and their families coping with the daily reality of the disease. Confronting Cancer: How to Care for Today and Tomorrow is a practical and readily understandable resource book that interprets the complexities of cancer for the layperson. In order to guide the patient and caregiver through the successive phases of the disease, including diagnosis, treatment, and day-to-day living, Dr. Sherry has carefully organized the book into three parts: Part One emphasizes the distinctive nature of specific cancers (such as breast, lung, skin, and colon) and explains the basic rationale for treatment; Part Two discusses orthodox and unorthodox therapies; Part Three details common problems encountered by the patient (including getting a second opinion, frequent symptoms, and pain control). The author also includes vital information on the nature and treatment of less familiar cancers affecting bladder and kidney function, the testicular area, and "unknown primary organ." While the vast majority of the over one million cancer patients in the United States receive technically sophisticated treatments, most patients are bewildered by the intricacies of the treatment process. Confronting Cancer clearly explains major cancer treatments, including chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, bone marrow transplantation, investigational therapy, "no therapy," and the dangers of cancer quackery.

Weird Girl with a Tumor
I am both smart and not. I am both a social butterfly on one hand and racked with social anxiety. At 5 years old, I was diagnosed with epilepsy - and only after three long years of numerous medications and hundreds of seizures was I diagnosed with a very rare brain tumor, a Hypothalamic Hamartoma. The removal of my tumor, which instantly stopped my seizures, immediately changed my life and left me with a disability that no one can see but only I can feel and only those very few closest to me can attest to that truth. I have a serious brain injury. My struggles are real - I overcame and continue to overcome. Sierra Crislip is the survivor of a rare brain tumor, Hypothalamic Hamartoma. Despite it, she's gone on to graduate from high school early and obtained employment with the help of a job coach. "Even though you can't see my disability," Sierra says, "I want to put the word out there and help others going through the same thing." Her HH story is on the Hope For Hypothalamic Hamartoma's website. She resides in California.
