  A Personal Mission: Define Your Wellness

  Category:  Health

  By Deepak Chopra, MD, FACP
  
  A basic outline for prevention has existed for more than thirty years, but wellness has had a hard time making real headway. Old habits are hard to break. Our society has a magic bullet fixation, waiting for the next miracle drug to cure us of every ill. Doctors receive no economic benefit from pushing prevention over drugs and surgery. For all these reasons, compliance with prevention falls far below what is needed for maximum wellness.

  The Higher Health (Part4)

  Category:  Health , SF Gate

  One of the most exciting changes that could mean a breakthrough in health centers on the term mind-body medicine. Twenty years ago, the equation was definitely body-oriented. If it was conceded that the mind plays a part in health, doctors generally had disparaging things to say about psychosomatic illness and the placebo effect. Neither seemed like "real" medicine, and no medical school curriculum taught otherwise. It was a source of dismay, in fact, that alternative approaches even existed.

  • Lol, if we are seriously considering the above than WE the patients should be paid by keeping ourselves healthy! We had this rule for a few years in my country but there were too many already who practiced this and after two years government thought this became too expensive :) Why is everything so much related to economy? Give this book for free Deepak and perhaps health care should also be taken out of the economic system.....

  Cancer: A Preventable Disease Is Creating a Revolution

  Category:  Health

  By Deepak Chopra, MD, FACP 
  
  Cancer is the most dreaded of all diseases, and ever since a “war on cancer” was declared forty years ago, massive research has made progress, although the battle is far from won. Very little of this research has been directed at prevention. Advanced medicine, like the person on the street, has tended to think of cancer as something we have no control over: it happens to us or it doesn’t.

  • I have just reviewed a book which is saying many of the same things about food, life style choices and cancer prevention. It is "When Cancer Hits" and aims at helping patients through cancer, but is full of wonderful advice and information about the toxins in our everyday lives. Highly recommended. Here is my review: When Cancer Hits by Britta Aragon Published by Cinco Vidas Press, New York 2011 ISBN 978-0-9829175-0-3 How does one begin a review of a book with a title that pulls no punches, the peaceful blue of the cover disrupted by the words in bold red print "WHEN CANCER HITS"? I was a little reluctant to open the large paperback volume. The subtitle is kinder, "your Complete Guide to taking Care of YOU Through Treatment". In smaller print I was pleased to read "Alleviate side effects* protect from common carcinogens * manage stress & worry * prioritize self-care * prevent recurrence". When I finally dipped into the book, handling the quality paper and admiring the layout, I liked the feel of it. Almost reluctantly, as though the subject was too risky to handle, I began to read. Britta Aragon writes with a disarming honesty and charm, and I was pulled immediately in to her story. A cancer survivor, and then a carer for a family member with a different cancer story, Britta is well placed to observe and to advise. The contents of the book don`t disappoint. It is a warmly written, practical guide to coping with cancer. There are valuable snippets of advice on everything from lip balms to coping with chemotherapy changes. The writer`s personality comes through, supporting the patient sympathetically with her well researched and good humoured advice. It is clear that she is speaking both from experience and from the heart. Alongside tips for patient comfort are many words of caution about the products we use today. The author supports her claims with research which is in itself interesting for the cancer-free reader who is seeking to make life-style changes. I have read the book right through, but still like to dip into it. There is so much information there that I can`t remember it all. It is a book I will refer to again and again, simply to choose healthier options for myself. Prevention, after all, is easier than cure. It is most certainly a book I would gift to anyone who has cancer, but would recommend for general reference as well. But the title? For me, it is too hard-hitting. But then, I guess, so is cancer. .

  • There´s another great book about this topic, I read it in spanish, "Cancer is not a disease, but a survival mechanism" by Andreas Moritz. It explains also the importance of our habits and also talks about emotions and how everything is connected and affect us. Thank you for giving us this remainder. Let´s take some responsability about our own health.

  Osteoarthritis - When the Knees and Hips Go

  Category:  Health

  By Deepak Chopra, MD, FACP
  
  Arthritis would seem to be a simple mechanical failure of our bodies. Through wear and tear, the cartilage wears out in certain joints – primarily the hip, knee, lower back, neck, and hands – leading to stiffness, pain, and eventually almost total immobility. The wear-and-tear explanation appeals to common sense. Evidence for it comes from ancient skeletons, since our ancestors became arthritic, too, and among lower mammals. As pet owners know, old dogs become as stiff and pained in their joints as old human beings.

  • Dr. Chopra I want to share my personal experience in case it can help. 10 years ago, I had massive knee pains that forced me to pay a fortune in Austria to try to find none-surgical solution. Did not work. I was told that my cartilages deteriorated beyond repair. Few month later, my wife`s uncle visited us and practically forced me to drink "Sheep Legs Soup" (boiled the clean shaved bones of the lower parts of the sheep leg until they became like a gel, then added vinegar to kill its disgusting taste). In two weeks, all my pains were gone. I could use my knees normally. Now I am 53, and I do not have anymore knee pains. Do you have any explanation? It is worth noting that I am not a believer in alternative medicine. I took the soup out of respect because he was an elderly and I did not want to disappoint him. But it worked.

  • Any advice for someone suffering from rheumatoid arthritis at age 28. I take weekly injections but would like to hear your thoughts on other alternatives to coinside with my biologic medication. Greatly appreciated!
