Genoptryk - udkommer 31. August Min bedste ven og værste fjende er Simone Dahls hudløst ærlige fortælling om at leve et liv med en spiseforstyrrelse, men nok så vigtigt er det en beretning, om hvordan hun kom fri fra spiseforstyrrelsens fangenskab. Simone fik som nyudsprungen teenager en spiseforstyrrelse, som hun gik hånd i hånd med i mange år. En spiseforstyrrelse kommer sjældent alene, og der fulgte en langvarig depression og flere selvmordsforsøg. Hendes liv som teenager blev en lang kamp med indlæggelser og en anbringelse uden for hjemmet. Uddrag af bogenDa mor gik fra afdelingen på Bispebjerg Hospital og lod mig være tilbage, faldt min verden fuldstændig sammen. Jeg fik en følelse af, at jeg rent fysisk kunne mærke smerten i mit hjerte. Jeg var totalt alene, hvordan kunne hun efterlade mig der? Var det, fordi hun ikke elskede mig mere? Jeg prøvede at være stærk for hendes skyld, og jeg fandt ud af, at den værste form for smerte er at smile bare for at holde tårerne væk. I starten var det rart, at nogen tog over, og at jeg kunne tillade mig at spise, men da jeg ugen efter havde taget et halvt kg på, gik jeg i alarmberedskab; jeg fik panikangst. Om forfatteren Simone Dahl (f. 1998) bor på Bornholm og fik i en alder af 12 år diagnosticeret anoreksi. Hun har igennem sine teenageår kæmpet for at blive rask og bor i dag i egen lejlighed. Hun driver sin egen blog og derudover er hun foredragsholder hos Landsforeningen mod spiseforstyrrelser og selvskade. Min bedste ven og værste fjende er hendes debutbog.

Esoterisk Triangel Healing henvender sig til alle,der arbejder med healing, terapi og selvudvikling.Både den professionelle terapeut, selvhjælpsgrupperog enkeltpersoner vil kunne hente nyttig inspiration i de erfaringer,som forfatteren har opbygget gennem mere end 20 års healerpraksis og med et solidt fundament i naturvidenskaben igennem 30 års virke som sygeplejerske.Med respekt for traditionen leverer denne bog en uhøjtidelig,overraskende og kreativ fornyelse, idet den overbevisende sammenkobler esoterisk viden med en række andre discipliner,eksempelvis: traditionel kinesisk medicin, vestlig lægevidenskab,psykoterapi, Aura-Soma, pendulering, Stress Release m.m.Desuden inddrages essensen af flere store religioner.I bogen findes teorien bag og praktiske anvisninger på brugen afEsoterisk Triangel Healing. Dermed er den skjulte – esoteriske– viden lagt frem i lyset på en klar og ligefrem måde.Den Esoteriske Triangel Healing kræver vedholdenhed ved indøvningaf teknikkerne, men beskrivelserne af disse og påkaldelsenaf de energier, der anvendes er så detaljeret, at bogen er egnet til selvstudium.

Sibiriske shamaner siger, at lyden af deres tromme er hesten der bærer dem til det hinsides. Min erfaring er, at nogen former for musik kan gøre dette med os. Hvordan er det muligt? "Musik som en Mystisk rejse" udforsker dette. Bogen handler om spirituel transformation og vores søgen efter lykke og harmoni. I dag er der musik alle vegne omkring os, og vi er alle blevet dybt bevæget af musik. Kun få mennesker indser hvordan en sådan dyb følelsesoplevelse kan føre dem mere permanent ind i stilhed, glæde og frihed. Hvad minder denne følelse os om, hvor peger den hen og hvordan kommer vi der? En mystisk rejse er en søgen der følger et indre kald. Ordet "mystisk" hentyder til en søgen, der er fælles for alle religioner og som derfor ikke tilhører nogen bestemt religion alene. Alle mystiske traditioner så som sufierne, de nord-amerikanske indianere eller de shamanske kulturer, gik hinsides religionen ind i et åbent rum med broderskab og samhørighed med naturen og det guddommelige.

Krystaller, healing, akupunktur og meditation. Engang var det navnene på noget eksotisk, men det er det ikke længere. Over halvdelen af danskerne bruger i dag forskellige former for alternativ behandling for at holde sig sunde og for at helbrede sygdom.Bogen undersøger, hvorfor danskerne bruger alternative behandlinger - og hvad de får ud af det. For de alternative behandlingsformer er ofte meget dyre at bruge, og de står uden for den offentlige sygesikring. Samtidig er der ingen udbredt videnskabelig evidens for, at de faktisk virker helbredende på sygdomme som f.eks. kræft eller sukkersyge.Bogen belyser sociale og kulturelle aspekter ved sundhed, sygdom og behandlingssystemer, som ofte overses, når talen falder på de alternative behandlingers effekt. På baggrund af interviews med brugere af bl.a. akupunktur, zoneterapi og mindfulness-meditation konkluderer forfatterne, at der ved alternative behandlingsforløb opleves andre gode effekter end dem, man undersøger i lægevidenskaben og i det konventionelle behandlingssystem. Bogen kaster derfor også et kritisk blik på begreber som 'effekt' og 'evidens' og introducerer i stedet det processuelle begreb 'virken', da det kan give os en bedre forståelse af de alternative behandlingsformers popularitet.

I bogen giver ernæringsekspert Laura Lamont dig en ny tilgang til low-carb kuren, som giver øget velvære og sikrer et vægttab. Hendes succesfulde plan i kombination med 75 lækre opskrifter dækker enhver begivenhed, giver et vægttab på op til et kilo om ugen - og du kan holde vægtabet.Bogen giver dig et indblik i, hvordan du kan få en sund kostsammensætning - doseret i de rette mængder af kulhydrater, proteiner og "gode" fedtstoffer (i fødevarer som avocado, laks og hørfrø), som kan medføre et sundt, langvarigt vægttab. Laura opdagede, at hvis man inkluderer rette mængder proteiner og sunde fedtstoffer i hvert måltid, hjælper det til at øge stofskiftet og stabilisere blodsukkerniveauet, hvilket så resulterer i et effektivt vægttab. Bogen giver dig råd og vejledning samt praktiske diagrammer, der hjælper dig med at identificere, hvilke fødevarer du skal spise, ligesom bogen indeholder konkrete måltidsplaner. Der er mere end 75 lækre opskrifter til morgenmad, frokoster, middage - og endda desserter! Og hver opskrift kommer med en ernæringsanalyse. Den nye lavcarb-diæt er succesfuldt testet og udnytter den nyeste videnskabelige forskning. Det er 21. århundredes måde at spise godt, tabe sig og føle sig sundere end nogensinde.

De fleste alternative behandlere har en spirituel tilgang til deres praksis. Op mod halvdelen af alle voksne danskere har på et tidspunkt opsøgt en alternativ behandler. Alternativ behandling, hvoraf flere typer er statsstøttet, fungerer derfor som en kanal for spredning af spiritualitet.Hvad det mere præcist er for en spiritualitet, klienterne møder hos alternative behandlere, og hvordan den kommer til udtryk i de forskellige behandlingsformer, har religionssociologen Lars Ahlin sat sig for at afdække med Krop, sind - eller ånd. Det er den første bog herhjemme, som beskæftiger sig med et bredt spektrum af alternative behandlere i et religionssociologisk perspektiv. Den kaster dermed lys over et hidtil overset område, og flere af dens konklusioner lægger op til debat. Krop, sind - eller ånd? indgår i Det Danske Pluralismeprojekts anmelderroste serie om religioner i Danmark. I samme serie er hidtil udkommet Jørn Borup: Dansk dharma - buddhisme og buddhister i Danmark, Viggo Mortensen: Kristendom under forvandling, René Dybdal Pedersen: I Lysets Tjeneste og Lene Kühle: Moskeer i Danmark.

The main objective of translational health science is to concentrate on discovering healthcare products for all people where care gaps exist. This book examines the applications of translational research, identifies its difficulties, outlines its essential characteristics, considers healthcare management strategies, and examines the public's perspectives today. This book assists aspiring implementation scientists in researching this area because the discipline is still relatively young for the wide range of researchers tackling the challenge of clinical and translational science, a field dedicated to examining human health and disease, interventions, and outcomes to develop new treatment approaches, devices, and modalities to improve health. This book Edition is the most authoritative and timely resource that introduces new physiological and therapeutic processes to engage the fastest-growing scientific outcomes from academic and industrial research. The chapters in this book give insights into perspectives on the field of clinical and translational science and discuss artificial intelligence in drug development and conventional and novel clinical trial designs. There is a lot of hope that using artificial intelligence (AI) will significantly advance all facets of healthcare, from diagnosis to therapy. AI is prepared to assist medical staff with various duties, including administrative workflow, clinical documentation, patient outreach, and specialist support like image analysis, medical device automation, and patient monitoring. Some of the most important uses of AI in healthcare will be covered in this book by eminent Scientists, Academicians, and Industrial persons from both clinical and non-clinical fields.

"A moving account of six former alcoholics and Betty Ford graduates-among them a teacher, a housewife and a gang member-with commentary from Ford herself."-Self"There was a lot of drinking and codependence in my extended family. Sitting in my jail cell, I thought about how many funerals I had attended over the years of family members whose lives had ended in violence or suicide. I never once heard of them getting help. There was never any mention of AA. The only way out of their terrible lives was just to die...It was one hell of a legacy."-LauretteLaurette's story is remarkable, but she's not alone.

Psychiatrist and scientist Elias Dakwar presents a groundbreaking yet simple framework for understanding and addressing addiction as a confusion from which we are all, addicted or not, working to find freedom. Addiction is a crisis affecting millions of Americans every year. As rates of addiction and overdose deaths surge across the country, physicians, mental health professionals, and researchers scramble to help. While the prevailing model--addiction as a brain-based disease--has destigmatized addiction, it hasn't solved the problem. Instead, as pioneering psychiatrist and researcher Elias Dakwar shows, it may be making things worse.Drawing on his research with hallucinogenic compounds and meditation-based treatments, fifteen years of clinical experience, and recent findings from neuroscience, Dakwar frames addiction as the fixed "reality" to which the imagination become captive. In a bold repudiation of the brain-disease model, he approaches addiction, not as a physical problem, but as a crisis of the creative imagination in which our all-too-human attempts to alleviate suffering and make sense of the world leads to a locked-in conception of things that only confuses things further. Addicted individuals therefore suffer acutely from what afflict us all - the fictions we create and mistake for reality.In this beautifully written and often startling exploration, Dakwar reveals how the journey towards freedom is not unique to addiction, but a passage we must all make as we work towards greater understanding, fuller relationships, and more profound peace. He makes an urgent plea for scientists to consider consciousness and meaning-making when approaching addicted individuals, and combines cutting-edge research with clinical narratives to pose and address the existential, relational, and philosophical questions that are at the heart of addiction. A leading researcher in the use of ketamine in addiction treatment, he examines how psychedelics, in combination with other practices, might be helpful clinically, and how they can also shed light on the broader systemic and cultural shifts that are needed to alleviate suffering, beginning with the most vulnerable among us.

This comprehensive volume provides balanced and easily readable chapters on contemporary topics around discourse production in patients with neurogenic disorders. Discourse broadly refers to a unit of language longer than a single sentence, typically used in a spoken or written format to express ideas, feelings, and opinions or to interact with others. As the field of research in speech-language pathology, aphasia and related neurogenic disorders, and clinical decision-making to manage neurogenic impairments is rapidly expanding, there has been an increased focus on discourse analysis and therapy to enable patients to speak well again. Various user groups and people with lived experience (e.g., aphasia, dementia, traumatic brain injury, right hemisphere damage, etc.) are also increasingly focused on the impact of neurogenic impairments on domains of conversation and changes in language skills beyond the smaller linguistic components of single words and sentences that are traditionally supported by speech-language therapy. The first part of this book details and discusses the basic principles, historical perspectives (history and developmental milestones), neural basis, and recent evolutions and advancement of discourse analysis in speakers with acquired communication disorders. The second part of the book outlines and illustrates current methods for discourse elicitation and analysis across different clinical populations. Recent leaps forward in technology that can assist in the recording, processing, and analysis of discourse will be highlighted. The final part of book reviews and summarizes key developments of various evidenced-based training strategies, interventions, and treatment programs, as well as utilization of innovative technology to clinically improve neurogenic disordered discourse.¿This is an ideal guide for researchers, clinicians, and students in the field of communication sciences and disorders, speech and language therapy, gerontology, (neuro-)linguistics, psychology, and related fields in clinical medicine.

This book presents the recent developments in immunomodulatory biomaterials for cell-based therapies in various diseases, including diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and bone regeneration. The authors first cover the fundamentals of conventional immunology and immunomodulation, before focusing on the history, advantages, and challenges of cell therapies. Biological cell therapy has gained immense attention for various diseases due to unique advantages it has over chemical drugs regarding cost, ease of production, toxicity, and therapeutic efficacy. However, these cell-based therapies need an inert delivery system that can locally deliver cells and minimally elicit foreign body response. The book discusses the foreign body response to the immunomodulatory biomaterials as well as the current and future strategies for potential mitigation of considerable immune responses toward immunomodulatory biomaterials and devices.
