The document discusses various sources and effects of stress and strategies for managing stress. It describes stress as the body's response to demands or stressors and distinguishes between distress caused by excessive stress and eustress from constructive stress. Prolonged stress can lead to health issues like hypertension, heart disease, and depression. The perception of stress depends on life experiences and social environments. Stress management involves preventing and reducing stress through cognitive appraisal, nutrition, exercise, relaxation, meditation, and social support.
THE UNSPOKEN ABOUT CANCER | A perspective soulmindmagicK
This document discusses cancer from a mind-body perspective. It notes that cancer is a survival strategy of the body in response to distress and indicates disharmony within. Mind-body medicine aims to nurture healthy immune traits, nullify old coping mechanisms, and create new pathways for self-evolution. Several practitioners are cited discussing links between unresolved conflicts or emotions and cancer's development in specific organs. A holistic four-pronged approach is advocated focusing on attitude, beliefs, emotional release, guided imagery, hypnotherapy, diet, and self-expression to repair, rejuvenate, restore and recreate health.
Implementation of the trend marker protocol results in a unique graphical presentation when a hormone and a symptom are plotted as per the day of menstrual cycle. This presentation will indicate behavior of the hormone in relation to the disease independent of whether the hormone levels are normal or abnormal as per the set laboratory limits.
The document summarizes research from "A Clinician’s Guide to Medical & Surgical Abortion" on potential negative reactions some women may experience after abortion, including depression, guilt, shame, regret, and grief. It notes researchers agree some women are more at risk, such as those who were coerced, committed to the pregnancy, or adolescents. Several studies cited found increased risks of substance abuse, depression, and suicide for women after abortion. Qualitative research found women still expressed shame about their abortions years later at menopause.
The document discusses legal issues and liability concerns for physical therapists who provide fitness services to older adults. It outlines key considerations for physical therapists, including appropriately screening participants, disclosing that the relationship is not a traditional patient-therapist one, ensuring proper payment for services, and complying with individual state licensure regulations. This is to reduce the risk of legal and fiduciary liability from negligence or malpractice claims, given the higher risks of injury for older adults and the need to distinguish fitness advice from physical therapy advice.
Bioidentical Hormone Replacement presentation version 2Paul Cox
This document discusses hormone optimization for men through regenerative and integrative medicine approaches. It provides background on the author's qualifications and outlines key concepts in functional and anti-aging medicine like optimizing the body's self-repair mechanisms with hormones, lifestyle changes, and supplements. Specific hormone pathways like thyroid and testosterone are examined, symptoms of deficiencies are defined, and testing and treatment options like bioidentical hormones, gels, injections, and implants are described. The benefits of hormone optimization are stated to include increased energy, mood, mental clarity, fitness and sex drive. Brief patient testimonials endorse the positive effects.
- Ms. P is a 64-year-old woman diagnosed with fibromyalgia who experiences widespread muscle pain and fatigue. Her pain is aggravated by touch and relieved by rest and heat.
- She has tried numerous medications for fibromyalgia but most resulted in adverse effects. Her current treatment includes acupuncture, pregabalin, hydrocodone, and cyclobenzaprine.
- Fibromyalgia is characterized by widespread pain and is often accompanied by fatigue, memory problems, and sleep disturbances. It affects 2-8% of the population and is considered a centralized pain state involving central nervous system pain amplification.

CANCER IS THE WORLD’S LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH, BUT ABOUT 1 IN 3 CASES CAN BE PREVENTED, ACCORDING TO THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION.
THERE’S NO MAGIC PILL TO KEEP YOU FROM GETTING CANCER, BUT YOU Can DO SOME THINGS TO IMPROVE YOUR ODDS
This document discusses cancer, including what it is, how it is treated, statistics, risk factors, and preventative measures. Cancer forms when cells grow uncontrollably and can spread through the body. It is treated through surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation. Statistics show cancer is most common in the elderly, with over half of new cases being prostate, breast, lung or colorectal cancers. Risk factors include age, alcohol, tobacco, obesity, and exposure to carcinogenic substances. Preventative measures consist of not using tobacco, eating healthy, staying active, and visiting doctors regularly for cancer screenings.
The document discusses stress and health, including how stress can impact the body and lead to illness. It covers how stress can affect the heart, immune system, and susceptibility to disease. It also discusses ways to promote health, cope with stress, and modify behaviors like smoking and diet to reduce health risks.
Breast cancer is caused by genetic mutations in cells that can be influenced by environmental factors like diet and lifestyle. Adopting a whole-food, plant-based diet with lots of raw foods and limiting alcohol, smoking, and processed foods can significantly reduce the risk of gene mutations that cause breast cancer by up to 8 times. Regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, breastfeeding children, and avoiding unnecessary radiation exposures are also recommended to prevent breast cancer.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.

Stress affects us physically and psychologically. In the case of a
perceived threat such as cancer, the body undergoes a build up of
internal tension to prepare for swift and powerful action. Under
stressful circumstances, the brain signals the adrenal glands to
produce corticosteroids, hormones which weaken the immune
response. Corticosteroids exert such a powerful immune-suppressive
effect that synthetic steroids are widely used as drugs to suppress
immunity in allergic conditions and the rejection of transplanted
organs. Cancerous processes are accelerated in the presence of large
amounts of corticosteroids and other stress-related hormones.
3. http://www.ifoundthecure.com/cures-for/cancer-cures-for/preventing-cancer-step-3-stress-reduction/
Among the stress-related emotional factors that play a role in reducing cancer resistance
are depression, grief, repressed anger, hopelessness, helplessness and a high degree of
passivity or social conformity. Certain cancers have also been associated with distressing
life events. For example, the risk of developing breast cancer is significantly higher if the
woman has experienced the loss of a spouse or close friend. A recent cancer research study
notes that major stressful life events can contribute to cancer morbidity.
Stressful experiences can strongly influence the risk of contracting a type of skin cancer
called melanoma cancer. Cancer researchers at Yale University examined the effect of
major life events on the cancer study of 56 melanoma cancer patients versus a control
group of 56 general surgical patients. Among the melanoma cancer patients, there had
been significantly more divorces or marital separations, bankruptcies, unemployment and
death of a spouse or family member in the five years prior to their cancer diagnosis.

Several cancer research studies have shown that NK cell activity is depressed
in individuals under stress. In light of these findings, Sandra Levy, Ph.D and
her coworkers at the Pittsburg Cancer Institute contend that NK cell activity is
an important predictor of prognosis in breast cancer and have accounted for
a significant portion of the NK cell suppression on the basis of stress factors.
No scientific evidence has yet found that stress and emotions can directly
cause cancer. The most plausible link to cancer is an indirect effect via the
immune system. When immunity is weakened by stress, particularly in the
presence of biological stressors such as a fatty diet or environmental
pollution, then cancer can thrive and grow.

Personality Linked with Cancer
Prevention
A recent cancer research study of melanoma cancer
patients found that those with the most “major life
stress” in their backgrounds actually showed a greater
will to confront and fight their cancer and less
avoidance of the cancer disease’s frightening aspects.

Theories connecting personality to cancer prevention dates
back to at least second-century Greek physician Galen who
noted a higher incidence of cancer in “melancholy” women
as opposed to “sanguine” women. A 1988 study of 36 women
with recurrent breast cancer found that positive attitudes
were associated with longer periods of breast cancer survival
rates. In another cancer study, 2,020 men were followed for
a period 17 years. Those who scored highest on depression
tests had twice the rate of cancer deaths.

Lydia Temoshok of the University of California, based on her psychological
surveys of thousands of cancer patients, has identified a group of “nice”
cancer patients who exhibit the Type C personality. Cancer patients with this
personality are passive, unassertive and eager to please and refuse to let
anger, fear or other strong negative feelings leak out. Even in the face of a
life threatening disease such as cancer, Type C individuals will appear
composed. Suppression of emotions appears to be linked to higher cancer risk,
especially breast cancer and melanoma cancer. Type C’s may also have a
worse prognosis when they hear about their cancer diagnosis like the case of
unassertive, compliant women who tend to have a shorter survival time for
metastatic breast cancer. On the other hand, women who show a “fighting
spirit” – a combative attitude toward the cancer disease – appear to have a
longer cancer-free interval and overall longer survival.

The Anti-Cancer Mind: Cancer Prevention Through
Relaxation Methods
Various cancer studies also suggest that the mind can enhance our
immunity against cancer, thus having a stronger chance for cancer
prevention. Dr. Steven Locke, director of the Psychoimmunology Research
Project at Harvard Medical School, describes more than 200 studies on
the treatment of cancer by “mind/body” methods. Among methods often
used by cancer patients are those which reduce anxiety, such as
meditation relaxation techniques. A reduction in the anxiety,
depression and helplessness that often accompany the cancer disease can
make it easier to make decisions about the treatment of cancer.

A cancer support group can also provide invaluable emotional
stability and relief. Being around healthy and positive people is
also important in battling the cancer disease. Healthy and
playful children are good companions during times of
treatment for cancer. Based on his extensive work with cancer
patients, Dr. Bernie Siegel notes that cancer survivors who enjoy
a high quality of life tend to express their anger and other
negative emotions freely. He encourages friends and family
members of cancer patients to become the cancer help and
support group of the cancer patient during the healing process.

Meditation
Just as rest supports the immune system in times of stress, meditation may be one of
the more effective ways of relaxing the body and strengthening its anti-cancer
defenses. The idea of meditation is not to suppress, analyze or judge these aspects of
the psyche – even those that seem negative or disturbing. Practicing this for 15 to 20
minutes at a time results in a kind of dynamic awareness in which the mind is
alertly attentive, yet also tranquil. One begins to enjoy the simpler pleasures in life,
and attitude improves dramatically.
Whether or not meditation is capable of cancer prevention or treatment of cancer
remains to be proven. However meditation can be a helpful adjunct to any cancer
prevention or treatment for cancer program, mainly by helping the meditator feel
more at peace and more in control of cancer’s stressful aspects.

Imagery and Relaxation Training
Relaxation training involves a variety of techniques designed to induce relaxation in the
muscles, which then produces a sense of calm and imagery refers to the creation and
interpretation of mental images. In theory, these methods could promote enhanced
immune system functioning. The cancer patients at the Simonton Cancer Center in
Palisades, California, uses relaxation and mental imagery daily to motivate themselves to
make positive changes in their lives and to recover their health after battling cancer. After
an initial period of relaxation, the cancer patient is instructed to visualize the cancer
tumor as a soft, weak, disorganized mass of cells. Conventional treatment of cancer either
cancer chemotherapy or cancer radiation, is then visualized as strongly effective, capable
of shrinking the cancer tumors and destroying stray cancer cells. The cancer patient is
urged to visualize defending himself or herself against cancer through an aggressive
immune system in which white blood cells act as a powerful army easily overwhelming the
pesky cancer cells. Dead and dying cancer tumor cells are visualized as being flushed out
of the body until all the cancer cells are gone. Finally, the patient is instructed to imagine
him or herself as healthy, vital and fulfilled.

Other studies suggest that relaxation training can improve
one’s ability to cope with the unpleasant effects of cancer
and may also augment the body’s ability to fight the cancer
disease. Whether or not cancer survival rates actually
increase, these cancer researches indicate that the quality of
life cancer patients definitely improves with the regular use
of imagery and relaxation techniques.

Exercise and Stress
How does exercise reduce stress?
Exercise increases your overall health and your sense of well-
being, which puts more pep in your steps every day. But
exercise also has some direct stress-busting benefits.
* It pumps up your endorphins. Physical activity helps to
bump up the production of your brain’s feel-good
neurotransmitters, called endorphins. Although this
function is often referred to as a runner’s high, a rousing
game of tennis or a nature hike also can contribute to this
same feeling.

•It’s meditation in movement. After a fast-paced game of racquetball or
several laps in the pool, you’ll often find that you’ve forgotten the day’s
dilemmas and irritations and concentrated only on your body’s
movements. As you begin to regularly shed your daily tensions through
movement and physical activity, you may find that this focus on a single
task, and the resulting energy and optimism, can help you remain calm
and clear in everything that you do.
* It improves your mood. Regular exercise can increase self-confidence
and lower the symptoms associated with mild depression and anxiety.
This can ease your stress levels and give you a sense of command over
your body and your life.
