In contemporary, modern culture it has become the one symptom that allows an immediate diagnosis of a psychotic disorder. In this essay, I write about the downside of pathologizing voices, while still acknowledging that many people suffer enormously from voices and negative visions. I describe how to be healing. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Coping-with-Grueling-Elder-by-Carol-Ann-Hamilton-Aging_Elderly_Health-160421-94.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Coping-with-Grueling-Elder-by-Carol-Ann-Hamilton-Aging_Elderly_Health-160421-94.html Carol-Ann Hamilton Find out the shocking health and relationship impacts those who care for aging parents encounter and what to do to safeguard your own life. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/The-difficulty-of-practici-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-Exercise_Healing_Health_Health-150907-90.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/The-difficulty-of-practici-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-Exercise_Healing_Health_Health-150907-90.html Lewis Mehl-Madrona I look at the stories that people hold about their lives that sometimes work against them. I tell the story of a driven man whom I warned 25 years earlier that he might drop dead if he didn't take a break, and discover that he did, in his fifties. I discuss the problems we face in medicine, how to help people change their stories that are leading them toward illness. This is one of the hallmarks of narrative medicine. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Why-I-Love-Biofeedback-by-Gary-Ames-090303-949.html Wed, 29 Oct 1569 12:55:53 -0456 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Why-I-Love-Biofeedback-by-Gary-Ames-090303-949.html Gary Ames There are plenty of reasons to love biofeedback and neurofeedback.

I share my experiences of working within the Canadian health care system as a physician (family medicine and psychiatry). I describe the back logs we did have and how we got around them, the lack of utilization review, how I could hospitalize anyone at anytime so long as there was a bed open, and how no one pushed me to discharge patients too early. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/How-we-treat-is-more-impor-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-Depression_Health_Health_Medicine-140527-463.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/How-we-treat-is-more-impor-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-Depression_Health_Health_Medicine-140527-463.html Lewis Mehl-Madrona The way we relate to people is more important than what we do in both medicine and psychiatry. Randomized, clinical trials of the drug, citalopram, for geriatric depression, for example, showed that where a patient got treated mattered more than what drug they received. The response rate to citalopram varied from 16% to 82% among 15 hospitals.

We create a culture of helplessness in which people expect rescue and do not believe they are in control of their actions. They can attempt suicide thinking they will be saved, but can miscalculate and accidentally die. An Australian man stopped 160 suicides by giving people breakfast.

Jordan Peterson writes that life exists within explored and unexplored territory both inside and outside of the mind. A narrative crisis occurs when our story (map of meaning) is inadequate to explain an anomaly. Heroism sets the hero apart from the group.

In order to change, we need to do things differently, and not just think about doing things differently. Unfortunately, conventional medicine has supported a narrative which tells us that we do not have to make an effort to change our behavior, so people who are depressed or anxious don't believe they need to do anything. We need to change this. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Day-7-of-the-Australian-Jo-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-120229-74.html Sun, 29 Oct 8265 13:30:49 -0400 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Day-7-of-the-Australian-Jo-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-120229-74.html Lewis Mehl-Madrona Today is Day 7 of the Australian journey 2012.

It is a telling of something to someone by someone. It may reflect the basic means by which our brains work, the result of a co-evolution of brain and story to allow us to recall the myriad of details necessary for negotiating a social life with the 500 people whom we are capable of knowing.

This leads us to modern day attempts to communicate with animals, including studies from Northern Arizona University that decode the meaning of prairie dog chirps and efforts to talk to the great apes.

If we practiced in this manner, as advocated by Uncle Albert, an aboriginal elder, how would we act? The notion of explanatory pleuralism argues that explanatory stories on any particular level do not have to relate to any other level of explanation; rather they must correspond to the level of which they are explaining. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Crossroads-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-100405-394.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Crossroads-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-100405-394.html Lewis Mehl-Madrona This weekend I attended a conference called Crossroads in Topanga Canyon, California.

Here is my answer. I argue that science is the new story with which we must contend. If we do not know the contemporary stories of science, they will be used against us. The actual stories being told today about the brain are quite uplifting, full of hope. They include neuroplasticity and epigenetics. If we know these stories we can fight against bad neuroscience. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/American-Character-Strengt-by-Rob-Kall-090926-773.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/American-Character-Strengt-by-Rob-Kall-090926-773.html Rob Kall The American character has been undergoing a dangerous and effective attack that has, in my opinion, gone virtually un-noticed.

I believe we can by becoming aware of the stories that we have absorbed which tell us how to live our lives. Through our interaction with others, we can modify those stories to become more effective and satisfying. We absorb stories through being born into a family, a place, a culture.

It doesn't have to be something that happens all the time, but something that continually teaches or challenges. Our family has had a few themes, the loudest being autism. In this article I share a few of the life lessons autism challenged us to learn. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/The-Inflammatory-Theory-of-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-120801-604.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/The-Inflammatory-Theory-of-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-120801-604.html Lewis Mehl-Madrona In this article, I describe a way of thinking about depression that makes sense of how we collapse from too much stress and from unremitting anxiety and misery. In this theory, eventually life overwhelms our capacity to resist inflammation and it runs away. From August 16th through the 19th, catch me in Hartford, Connecticut, to further discuss these ideas.

This information may help guide areas of brain research that could have a large practical impact upon enhancing performance. The paper will then focus on reviewing studies which used electroencephalography (EEG) to assess brain processing in athletes. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/THE-NEURO-RELAXATION-PARAD-by-tom-collura-090808-928.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/THE-NEURO-RELAXATION-PARAD-by-tom-collura-090808-928.html tom collura Neuronal Regulation is a key concept in neurofeedback. Rather than being a trivial concept related to a simple relaxation state, neurorelaxation means affecting the brain at its most dynamical level, implementing change that is transformational in nature. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Excerpt-from-Coyote-Wisdom-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-101031-579.html Sun, 29 Oct 6947 13:18:00 -0400 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Excerpt-from-Coyote-Wisdom-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-101031-579.html Lewis Mehl-Madrona This excerpt tells the story of my work with Tiffany, a young woman with cancer who was from the Christian faith and how we used Meister Eckhart as a way to bridge my Native American philosophies with Christianity to create a healing dialogue throughout the course of her cancer. this seems like an important story to me because it shows how we can create healing (meaning and purpose) even when the patient dies. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Part-Two-Talking-with-Dr-by-Joan-Brunwasser-091025-719.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Part-Two-Talking-with-Dr-by-Joan-Brunwasser-091025-719.html Joan Brunwasser When I first started out in my career,I thought I could fix everything in the industry with engineering and designing a facility. I've now learned that I can only fix about half of things. Because the other half is management. I've been a big advocate of getting out and measuring handling. Then I can look at the numerical scores and ask, ------?----?Am I getting better or am I getting worse?------?------ https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Single-Payer-Health-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-120430-421.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Single-Payer-Health-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-120430-421.html Lewis Mehl-Madrona In this article, I look at possible difficulties of implementing single payer health care in the United States. We review studies that show that the difference in health care costs between the U.S. and Canada are due almost entirely to administrative costs. We look at the administrative inefficiencies that already exist in the U.S. and amply them to start a single-payer system, supporting local control of health care.
