(Lewis Mehl-Madrona) In the recent meetings of the Institute for Psychiatric Services in San Francisco, Barbara Mainguy and I presented material on how we work with psychosis.

| #2 | 4/26/2014 | Becoming Aware of Mind-Body-Spirit Medicine
(Vijayaraghavan Padmanabhan) The development from Era 1 to Era 2 medicine emphasizes that we are not the body alone; we are mind-body entities.

I explore the literature and learn that prolonged opiate use sensitizes people to feel more pain and that it can also act as a neurotoxin producing neuropathic-like pain, so perhaps not a good idea |
| #5 | 7/23/2012 | The High Cost of Medically Unexplained Symptoms (Lewis Mehl-Madrona) I write about how the search for the diagnosis for medically unexplained symptoms is an important aspect of what is bankrupting our health care system. We have to solve this problem for manage costs no matter what health care system we have. I acknowledge that some diseases are missed and that some diseases are yet to be found, but suggest that we are much better at findings serious and life threatening illnesses than before. |
