In the fight against cancer, from: How to use the power of your mind for healing
"I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1998, and then found out it had already spread to lymph nodes, my mother died at age forty-six year old breast cancer just eight months after her diagnosis after mastectomies .. bilateral in only twenty-nine, I started up and not chemotherapy. As my first treatment, I started talking to my body I had never done this before .. ... I used many of these wonderful image guided techniques during that year of treatment. It seemed to make things easier, the mental adjustment to surgery to deal with side effects of chemotherapy.
Many times I went to bed my body tells what to do. I would view as chemotherapy and killing cancer cells, I viewed my organs and lymphatic system work perfectly. I viewed old, about eighty years old, my great-grandchildren tucking in to bed. There was a plan to live together and have been actively discussing with my body, my mother had that experience to my own. I did not know why exactly she died and lived, but I know now seven, almost eight years in complete remission and continues to raise my daughter, nine years, I am grateful for my mind to be able to communicate effective with my body. I think that is why I am alive today. ""

If you have been diagnosed with cancer and want to have the best chance to survive, the image guide is for you. How you use your mind can make a big difference in what happens to you, the evidence shows that the range of effects to improve your emotional well being to reduce the adverse effects of treatment to survive, even flourish, experience.
When diagnosed with cancer, you can find over-whelmed with emotion at a time when most need to keep your temper. We have to learn to reconnect you with your own inner strengths and resources so you can make the best use of them when most needed.
Cancer is many diseases, and the first thing most people newly diagnosed need to know is that having cancer does not mean you will die from it. More than 50 percent of cancers diagnosed today are cured by conventional medicine alone - that many cancer patients get and succumb to their disease. While you are in life expectancy, and you have options. You will, imagination, and powerful natural healing abilities within you that you can stimulate your mind using.
There are several ways to deal with or fight against cancer. Major tools support image guided attention, your intention, your will, and, most importantly, your imagination. Guided imagery can help you learn ways of thinking that can tip the balance toward health and healing disease.
Cancer Care 101: Treating the Illness, Treating PersonIn cancer care, there are two complementary goals of treatment. One usually medical purpose, is to kill cancer cells and tumors, or reduce their number and their ability to grow, reproduce and spread (metastasize). Other hand, perhaps best called the healing goal, is to support the welfare and strength of the patient. Here I use resistance to stand for all mechanisms, known and unknown, which protects us from the development and dissemination of cancer.
Conventional medical treatment for cancer for several years has focused on destroying tumors without paying much attention to support the patient as a whole person with innate healing capabilities. Until recently, most people were put in the hands of an oncologist (cancer specialist) and did what they said. While almost certainly need an oncologist to prescribe and monitor best medical treatment is often not much more to cancer survivor. A well nourished person with cancer, with tools and support to help them maintain their emotional balance, is likely to have an easier time with cancer and its treatment than someone who is malnourished, poorly supported, locked in terror and emotional.
Support your innate healing abilities will help you make the best use of any treatment you choose, and, alternatively, neglecting them is likely to make it more difficult for any treatment to work.
Supporting your health and eliminate disease are two complementary approaches to healing, which support and strengthen each other. In my experience, neither works, and both together.
Support your health makes it easier to tolerate treatments that can sometimes be difficult, and that in turn increases the likelihood that treatments will work as desired. Methods to support health and strengthen resistance to cancer generally fall into three categories: (1) nutritional support, ranging from diet to improve sophisticated programs individualized nutritional supplements with vitamins, minerals, herbs, essential fatty acids, and natural biological response modifier, (2) mind-body approaches, ranging from support groups to counseling, to meditation, stress reduction, and image guided practice, and body-mind practices such as yoga, Tai Chi Gung, Chi, Jin Shin Jyutsu, and (3) systematic approach to the time honored healing systems such as traditional Chinese medicine or Ayurvedic medicine.
While the methods differ, their goal is the same - to support and stimulate the vitality and function of innate healing systems of the body, mind and spirit. This idea is an old one, but many modern studies show that mind-body approaches, including image-guided, all are effective in reducing anxiety and depression, reducing adverse effects from conventional treatments, and likely to improve treatment outcomes.
Image guided and quickly became widely accepted as a useful adjunct in the treatment of cancer largely due to the ease of use, low cost, fast and psychological benefits. It has been shown to increase both the number and aggressiveness of natural killer cells when practiced over time, has been shown to reduce complications from surgery, relieve pain and reduce the adverse effects of chemotherapy. Imagery is a psychological and medical intervention that could increase your chances of recovery.
Fight cancer inside my CD & Book Set teaches you how to use image guided to this end. The book explains how to use guided imagery techniques, why they work, and how others have used them successfully. CDs I will lead you through specific exercises guided imagery, and then book addresses the most common questions people have when they start working with images for self-healing.
Together is a set of self-paced course in learning to use your mind to support health and healing when dealing with cancer. For more information or to order and try it out yourself, go to www.thehealingmind.org

We Thyroid "" Medicating a PACIFIER Search for "and, indeed," Feeling Good 10 years after the maker of Prozac Width. "Why, when suddenly the abject fascination? Is it because depression is well known speedily assembles one of the biggest problems against the safety of our society belong not only adults, but only until and children?
Distant places with the greatest care is current and cry to them was of the lakes in the middle of pain now, four years ago in the conference with the said 1994 produced "more Healing" in the Holy Monica, California that inspired this book.

They also medical doctors who have been known to history as their sole precept antidepressants, now publicly corresponds to the natural order, they begin to recommend St. John's wort for mild to moderate medicines here.
We Add A Problem SurveyWe will experience some disturbance of four or more lakes in the life of the body, and every year to twenty-five million people will be diagnosed in the depressive illness. Two-thirds of the votes more women are affected. But in the more recent "silent pestilence" hollow, of these figures indicates the need of men adjustment.1

Headed to Hospital? 4 Key Questions to ask your doctor

Headed to Hospital? 4 Key Questions to ask your doctor

Doctors do the best they can to keep patients healthy and out of hospital. Sometimes, though, hospitalization is needed despite the best care possible. At first I joined private practice after training of residence, my colleagues and I have admitted patients in a local hospital and took turns caring for those who needed residential care. This system ensured Wed have easy access to their medical records before and often know them on a personal level. Arranging appointments office after discharge was almost never a problem, and we were guaranteed an understanding of what happened to our patients in the hospital.

That's all changed. The way patients receive hospital care has changed radically in the last 15 years. Many primary care physicians, pressure to take on more patients and exhausted from too many nights on call, stopped seeing their patients through a hospital stay. Instead, they now rely on "hospitalists," a relatively new breed of specialists to exclusive responsibility to care for patients in hospital.

[Preparing for Your Hospital Stay]

There are potential advantages to be treated by a hospitalist rather than a family doctor. Because hospitalists spend their time on the wards rather than trying to juggle obligations to patients in hospital and office, they're usually easier to reach with questions or concerns. Also, hospitalists may be more up-to-date on the latest medical research from residential treatment. These advantages should theoretically translate into better care and shorter stays for hospital patients. And they do, according to a 2007 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, researchers found that patients cared for by hospitalists had shorter stays indeed hospital and medical costs lower than those cared for by primary care physicians.

But as hospitalists are replacing family doctors on hospital wards, concern is mounting that poor communication between the hospital and doctors office can lead to worse health outcomes after discharge. I personally know the frustration of seeing patients in office after recent hospital did not receive critical information about what medication changes were made, what procedures past, or what tests are needed to monitor its condition. Patients whose doctors do not have access to complete information during follow-up visits may be more likely to end up in the emergency room or be hospitalized again. (Goes the same for patients with scheduled follow-up visits at all.)

[Search Top Doctor near you.]

A study published Monday in the Annals of Internal Medicine seems to confirm these fears. Representative sample of Medicare patients to hospitals nationally between 2001 and 2006, those who were cared for by hospitalists have slightly shorter average hospital stays and hospital bills slightly lower than those cared for by primary care physicians. However, in 30 days after discharge, the hospitalist patients were more likely to be readmitted or land in the emergency room. One possible explanation: poor communication, as hospitalist patients were significantly less likely to follow with their primary care physicians after discharge.

To improve the quality of "care transitions" between hospitalists and family physicians, some health systems have designed programs to ensure patients get the recommended follow-up care. Two studies published last week in Archives of Internal Medicine evaluated two such programs. In one study, seniors who'd been hospitalized for heart failure at Baylor Medical Center Garland, Texas received several home visits by specially trained nurses between three days and three months after discharge. Those enrolled in the nurse visit program were only half as likely as patients who have heart failure to be readmitted within 30 days. In another study, patients at six hospitals were assigned coaches Rhode Island health (nurses or social workers) who visited them once in hospital, once at home, and telephoned them twice to encourage follow up with care physicians primary concern and ask about any signs or symptoms. Patients in the program were nearly 40 percent less likely to be readmitted within 30 days than patients who received no training of health.

[A Painless Guide to Your Hospital Stay Navigation]

Because it is impossible to predict whether you or a loved one will need to be hospitalized, it is important to understand your doctor's policies for patients who require hospitalization. You can start by asking these four questions:

Do doctors practice personally care for hospital patients, or do they rely on hospitalists?
If you live in a metropolitan area with multiple hospitals to choose from, at the hospital with your doctor prefer?
If you are considered a hospitalist, what protocols are in place to ensure timely communication between the hospital and the doctor's office follow your plans?
Are you eligible for any programs that help patients with care transitions?

Because of changes in medicine, it is unlikely that we will get back to the "old days" when the same doctors were responsible for caring for their patients both in and outside the hospital. Consequently, patients need to be proactive to make sure you receive the best after the hospital. That hospital is always stressful, but knowing that your follow up care will not fall through the cracks can give you peace of mind.

4 Health care reform can expect changes in the Medical Office

4 Health care reform can expect changes in the Medical Office

The family doctor, I used to participate in a dinner with relatives, friends, and sometimes complete strangers ask about health care reform, and how the new law could have an impact contact their doctor. Unfortunately, because I am well aware of all the complicated regulations, I can not come up with a simple sound bite. But in a magazine published in the Annals of Internal Medicine last August and tried to explain that the Affordable Care Act are likely to current medical practice, and outlined what changes should be made to doctors to better care for patients.

[What Health Reform Tools You]

The authors, many of the problems that exist: rate of readmissions, medication errors, infections, and too high in hospitals nationwide. And the U.S. should not take full advantage of preventive services such as counseling for smoking cessation and cancer screening. "Physicians should be embraced, rather than resist change," the study authors wrote that the new rules to succeed in these problems and reduce health care costs in the long run. This means that doctors need to move the system in which they are paid more than ordering more tests and procedures and to implement the one that pays them in coordinating care among many physicians and preventive health care professionals such as nurses and nutrition experts. The goal is to keep you healthy and out of the hospital. Here's what to expect in the doctor's office, if not now, soon.

1) You get the healthcare you need, nothing more and nothing less. This is surprising, and frankly shocking how little knowledge of effective treatments for doctors to write regularly for common conditions such as heart failure and diabetes. Although the studies are often lacking, which allows the doctors to which test or treatment is best for you, the new federal patient-centered outcomes research studies to support the Institute for physicians make more informed decisions. That should keep you from unnecessary medical care and provide you with care that is most effective. Because research takes time, and doctors are often slow to carry out the change so far gyakorlatukon based on new research, this change can not happen immediately. Although studies of more than a decade ago showed that MRI does not provide benefits for acute back pain and antibiotics have no effect on acute bronchitis, doctors have only recently restricted the use of them, and many still prescribe these expensive tests and medications, if the patient need them.

2) You get a team of health professionals. This is the "care team" will be reviewed, and does not involve, the benefits are already being used to get a personal doctor. The care team include nurse practitioners, medical assistants, nursing managers, and food, depending on their individual health needs. The idea is that the more people who work together to monitor health conditions, the less likely complications will be missed.

[The Primary Care Team See You Now]

3) The care team to get to try to prevent future health problems. This may include reminding the healthy people need regular medical checkups, or a home visit from a nurse if you have recently hospitalized in a chronic condition such as heart failure. Instead of being paid only when patients get sick, doctors and nursing team will receive financial incentives to keep patients well.

4) technology improves the efficiency of your healthcare. Gone will be the day when it is unreadable written specifications, fax or hand-written notes are vague development of thousands of hospital medical errors each year. The doctors are expected not only to replace the paper charts to electronic medical records, but use them in substance what it means to improve the accuracy of information in health records and makes sure these records will be available to you and the various professionals involved in the care . Of course, this transition is expected as a result of errors in the beginning. If early experiences of physicians in electronic health records are any indication, different computer systems can not transfer information to each other, and enterprising hackers will certainly try to breach security of online health records that threaten privacy.

[Electronic medical records: No Cure-All Medical Errors]

Of course, not possible at this early date to know how many of these hopes for health care reform really happens. The ultimate goal, however, is what I think every physician desires: the health system in the future to give us the tools to give you the best quality experience every time you need to search for health.

Health-care reform that mean for you Almost every American will be hit, whether it's by getting more coverage or pay more money

Health-care reform that mean for you
Almost every American will be hit, whether it's by getting more coverage or pay more money

Parts of Affordable Care Act, the official name of the health reforms that are already in force. Young people can now remain on their parents health policy up to 26 years, for example, in a more prosaic level, the sessions in the tanning bed can cost more because of the 10 percent tax on tanning services, introduced last July 1. What happened to that will have significance for Americans, and what's coming in 2011 and beyond? Here's a short list.

1. What has happened so far. Health insurers can no longer impose lifetime limits on coverage, a boon for those with expensive chronic health problems like cancer or heart failure, found themselves bankrupt after their insurance runs out. Parents who have group policies through their employers have the right to continue coverage for unmarried children, as noted above, an urgent need, especially now, with sky-high unemployment among recent college graduates. Health insurers must cover certain preventive services, such as osteoporosis screening for women over 65, smoking cessation counseling and intervention, colonoscopy, high-throughput screening of blood pressure, and screenings for diabetes and sexually transmitted diseases. Seniors were previously required to pay a portion of the cost of medical services, including cancer of movies and annual medical examinations, and the law makes such preventive services are free for most beneficiaries. People with serious illnesses that prevented them get the coverage will be entitled to purchase insurance for high-risk pool in the state-subsidized exchange at a price similar to that healthy people pay for their premiums. (Private insurers can refuse applicants are still based on pre-existing conditions until 2014, when the exchange opened.)



2. You will have to purchase health insurance if you do not have any, or face punishment. As of 2014, anyone who is currently uninsured to purchase a policy or pay a fine. Individuals who do not qualify for government subsidies to pay about $ 5,000 per year for a policy on the exchange, while families have to pay about $ 15,000, according to John Goodman, president of the National Center for Policy Analysis, nonprofit public policy research organization, based in Dallas. (Subsidies to reduce these premiums will be available to individuals making between $ 15,000 and about $ 43,000 and for families making up to nearly $ 90,000 on a sliding scale based on income. Subsidised plans a family of four, for example, in the range of $ 1,300 per year to up to $ 8,400 per year.) fines start at $ 95, or 1 percent of income for individuals is greater, and in 2016 increased to $ 695, or 2.5 percent of revenue, depending on is greater. Families pay a heftier fine $ 2085, or 2.5 percent of revenue by 2016. "Many of them argue that these penalties are not high enough," says Goodman, "and that middle-class families may simply choose to go without insurance and pay a fine."

3. You will not lose coverage if you get sick, or be denied the new policy because of pre-existing condition. Beginning in 2014, insurers can not deny applicants based on, say, the early diagnosis of breast cancer. And they are no longer able to abandon the existing policies, if they can not determine a clear case of fraud as someone who did not disclose that the earlier cancer. In the past, insurance companies often rescrubbed policies after individuals have been diagnosed with expensive diseases.

4. You can expect more waiting to see a new doctor. This lack of security, millions of Americans greater access to medical care without a simultaneous increase in the number of health workers. In Massachusetts, where health insurance is universal, Boston residents will have to wait about twice as long to see a doctor, as people in any other American city, says Goodman. Over time, however, demand growth and employment opportunities can bring more doctors and nurses, flooding into the workforce, helping to alleviate this problem.

8 keys to Choose policy individual health insurance Shopping for health insurance of your own? Here's what to consider

Selection of health insurance is difficult enough to plan the employer, but at least the questions can be sent to someone on staff who knows more than you and will not steer you design The most expensive plan. When shopping for insurance on your own, the choice is much more complex. Most employers offer only one or two health plans as options. On the individual insurance market, you're likely to face dozens. And you're on your own.
Click here to learn more!

Grappling with the details of the policy are many different individuals can lead to a strong desire to choose one of the sound halfway reasonable. But halfway is not good enough. Hang in there, keep the following eight basic things in mind to cut through the fog of numbers and unfamiliar terminology:

1. Your "must-have." You can not foresee a sudden injury or illness, but you can anticipate a medical need. Not all policies provide coverage under maternity, for example, but it is a clear need to have if you are starting a family.

2. The cost of the basics. Just as it does not make sense to have a luxury car with a monthly payment you can not afford, there is not much point in thinking about a Cadillac insurance policies with higher monthly premiums if your budget can not handle it. It would be more realistic, if you are relatively young and healthy, to choose a policy with a deductible of you have to pay out of pocket, usually over $ 1,000 dollars, before the benefit rock . Your cost base should also higher copays (fixed fee for the office of medical examinations) and coinsurance (sharing the cost of regulation or hospital) to account.

3. Carrier. If you have a doctor primary health care and other professionals like your favorite, make sure they participate in the plan's network. Policies generally include a smaller cost of out-of-network care or not to include it at all.

4. Out-of-maximum. With some plans, there is no limit on the amount you pay out of pocket in the year, no matter how high. Steering clear of the plan without an annual limit. Even for such ceiling, the cost will be insured if the insurer considered medically necessary. And with multiple plans, you may have to continue to make co-payments.

5. Regulations. Any medications prescribed frequently you should be covered. The plan's drug list (formulary ") will show you.

6. Limits on coverage and services annually. Because health care reform, the annual dollar limits on coverage will disappear in 2014, but now, any individual policy you purchased may not be limited to less than $ 750,000. Above that amount, you pay the full cost of care once the insurance has expired. It can be a separate cap on benefits specifically defined, the rehabilitation services, and physician visits.

7. Dependents. If you have children under age 26 without health insurance from an employer, the law allows them to be on your insurance. The policy will also no longer able to exclude children under 19 years of insurance because of pre-existing conditions.

8. Ask for help. You can plow through health insurance policies to individuals is available in your part of the state, no need to provide your name, number or other personal information, in Healthcare.gov, released in the summer of last year by the federal government to provide consumers a tool for finding and comparing policies. Basic information about buying health insurance is also on site. If you need a live person to walk you though the more chaotic, the National Association of Health Insurance name and contact information for agents and local brokers are licensed.
