Chronic Pain: Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, Prevention, and Management

The most misunderstood and complex subject in medicine is the hyperpathic pain of sympathetic dystrophy.

The book classifies the different stages of RSD and describes the qualitative and quantitative differences between natural endorphins and synthetic narcotics. Included are long-term follow-ups on sympathectomy patients. This important reference explains why sympathectomy fails, but nerve block and physiotherapy is successful in the treatment of RSD. In addition, the mechanism of development of RSD is clarified through an extensive collection of drawings and anatomical pictures as well. Other topics include thermographic methods for the diagnosis of RSD, the role of ACTH in the management of chronic pain, and comparisons between the effects of ACTH and those of corticosteroids.

Chronic Pain: Out-of-the-box Treatments that Cure

The book will reassure those suffering from chronic pain and readers that pains can be treated, and not just be ‘managed’. Contemporary pain management comprises some very sophisticated treatments, which address various parts of the nervous system that have been historically assumed to be responsible for pain. The author's approach is that all neuropathic pains are neuromyopathic with a major muscle pain component where the muscles are the final common factor in all chronic pains. This premise led to the innovation of a new system of pain management, which has been gratifyingly effective, providing cures for many complicated conditions. The book is about the discovery that many types of chronic pain are curable and others easily manageable. The novel concepts developed by the author and her research on pain management are described in this book. These are unique, and will be of interest to doctors, researchers, students, and patients.

Chronic Pain and the Family (The Harvard University Press Family Health Guides)

Chronic pain is the leading cause of disability in the United States, affecting as many as 48 million people in this country alone. It can demoralize and depress both patient and family, especially when there is no effective pain control and no hope for relief. Improperly managed, chronic pain can lead to substance abuse (usually painkillers) and to acute psychological and emotional distress. Pain begets stress and stress begets pain in a wretched downward spiral. Silver reviews the causes and characteristics of chronic pain and explores its impact on individual family relationships and on the extended family, covering such issues as employment, parenting, childbearing and inheritance, and emotional health. Silver treats aspects of chronic pain not covered in a typical office visit: how men and women differ in their experience of chronic pain, the effect of chronic pain on a toddler's behavior or an older child's performance in school, the risks of dependence on and addiction to pain medications, and practical ways for relatives beyond the immediate family circle to offer help and support to the person in pain.

El Cielo Vs La Reencarnación La Historieta

Este libro es una pequeña versión basada en los dibujos animados de mi historieta - "El Cielo vs. La Reencarnación" escrito por Dharma. Como dice el refrán, una imagen vale más que 1.000 palabras, así que espero que al usar dibujos pueda expresar mi punto de vista con una mayor claridad. Nuestros puntos de vista sobre Dios y la Religión se han estancado en el pasado; seguimos reciclando una y otra vez ideas escritas en el pasado sin siquiera cuestionarlas. El hecho de que un libro se haya escrito hace 1.000 o 2.000 años, no implica que las personas de esa época tengan una idea especial ni mucho menos que los dioses caminaban en la tierra durante esos días. Nuestros ancestros no eran malas personas, simplemente escribieron lo que ellos consideraban correcto, expresaron SU visión de Dios, influenciados por las vidas que vivían en ese momento. Los reyes, emperadores y dictadores gobernaban de forma brutal, exigiendo obediencia y lealtad ciegas a cambio de sus favores. y esa fue la plantilla para Dios, o al menos para las religiones más grandes como el cristianismo y el islam, las cuales son dominantes en el mundo al día de hoy. Así que ponte de rodillas, suplica misericordia, jura lealtad al Rey y serás recompensado; Esa era la vida en ese momento y esas fueron las ideas que se escribieron y transmitieron de una generación a otra, lamentablemente la gran mayoría de la humanidad todavía sigue ciegamente tales ideas incluso hoy en la actualidad. Aunque la vida de hoy es muy diferente. A través de mis libros espero cambiar el discurso, difundir nuevas ideas y brindar nuevos puntos de vista sobre la religión y la espiritualidad.
