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/Improving-the-Quality-of-H-by-Vijayaraghavan-Pad-110501-893.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Improving-the-Quality-of-H-by-Vijayaraghavan-Pad-110501-893.html Vijayaraghavan Padmanabhan Faith is essential for healing to take place regardless of the kind of treatment that is actually given. Where there is faith, the feeling is positive and this helps the body's built-in mechanisms of healing. The quality of health care would eventually depend on how well the various aspects of health care are synchronized to supplement and support the central nature of faith and the hidden reality of mind-body-spirit medicine. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Heroes-Joseph-Campbell-a-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-Healing_Health_Hero_Heroes-161118-774.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Heroes-Joseph-Campbell-a-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-Healing_Health_Hero_Heroes-161118-774.html Lewis Mehl-Madrona The hero's journey begins with the call to adventure. 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. Identification with the hero serves to decrease the unbearable motivational valence of the unknown. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/The-Hero-s-Journey-and-The-by-Rob-Kall-Biofeedback_Biofeedback-Spa_Biofeedback-Neurofeedback_Brain-141010-609.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/The-Hero-s-Journey-and-The-by-Rob-Kall-Biofeedback_Biofeedback-Spa_Biofeedback-Neurofeedback_Brain-141010-609.html Rob Kall Here's a short summary of my take how story and the Hero's Journey plays an integral role in biofeedback: https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Becoming-Aware-of-Mind-Bod-by-Vijayaraghavan-Pad-Attitude_Body_Compassion_Comprehensive-140426-607.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Becoming-Aware-of-Mind-Bod-by-Vijayaraghavan-Pad-Attitude_Body_Compassion_Comprehensive-140426-607.html Vijayaraghavan Padmanabhan The development from Era 1 to Era 2 medicine emphasizes that we are not the body alone; we are mind-body entities. Era 3 medicine indicates that we are not confined to our mind-body; we are mind-body-spirit entities. As is the belief, so is the practice. If the physician believed that he was a mind-body-spirit entity, he would suggest the attitude of 'prayerfulness' by those concerned with the patient. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Narrative-Concepts-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-120520-320.html Fri, 01 May 1103 13:37:56 -0456 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Narrative-Concepts-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-120520-320.html Lewis Mehl-Madrona I attempt to say what a narrative is. 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. Its shortest form consists of two action clauses that can be sequenced and one orienting clause. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/The-Psychology-of-Emotions-by-Saberi-Roy-100620-167.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/The-Psychology-of-Emotions-by-Saberi-Roy-100620-167.html Saberi Roy Explaining emotions and distinguishing feeling and bodily reaction. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/When-Consciousness-Becomes-by-Vijayaraghavan-Pad-101205-466.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/When-Consciousness-Becomes-by-Vijayaraghavan-Pad-101205-466.html Vijayaraghavan Padmanabhan Since the structure-consciousness link can work the other way round, one can postulate that changes in consciousness can produce modifications in the gene structure. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/The-Psychology-of-Fantasy-by-Saberi-Roy-100901-178.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/The-Psychology-of-Fantasy-by-Saberi-Roy-100901-178.html Saberi Roy On the role of the conscious mind in fantasy and studying the uses, functions and stages of fantasy https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Working-to-Recover-or-Adj-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-Brain_Brain_Brain_Dialogue-150907-221.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Working-to-Recover-or-Adj-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-Brain_Brain_Brain_Dialogue-150907-221.html Lewis Mehl-Madrona Existing research is pessimistic about the value of our currently dominant biomedical paradigm for treating mental illness. Long-term antipsychotic use appears to make people worse rather than better. While the research continues to accumulate, practice does not change. Doctors continue to practice as if psychosis comes from lack of medication. People recover without medications. How do we reconcile these two models? https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Change-Your-Stories-Chang-by-Book-Excerpt-091112-567.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Change-Your-Stories-Chang-by-Book-Excerpt-091112-567.html Book Excerpt I believe anyone can become... the person who experiences pain or doubt or tough times or unfairness but who maintains perspective, humor, and a sense of optimism.

Recently New York's Office of Mental Health has restructured clinical services. I write about what that has meant for quality of care, which inevitably goes down. I argue that this is inevitable in a "fee-for-service" system. I argue that the alternative is to pay physicians to care for panels of people and to do the best job as they see fit for these people. https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Suicide-Prevention--Does-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-Culture_Double-Standards_Health_Housing-150913-378.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/Suicide-Prevention--Does-by-Lewis-Mehl-Madrona-Culture_Double-Standards_Health_Housing-150913-378.html Lewis Mehl-Madrona Are psychiatric services successful in preventing suicide or do we actually cause more suicides than would otherwise happen. 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.

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/John-Robbins-on-The-New-G-by-Joan-Brunwasser-100929-654.html Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 -0500 https://www.futurehealth.org/articles/John-Robbins-on-The-New-G-by-Joan-Brunwasser-100929-654.html Joan Brunwasser One of the reasons I wrote my latest book is to provide people with simple, easy and inexpensive suggestions on how to raise their quality of life while lowering their cost of living, and at the same time lowering their ecological footprint.

Surprisingly, perhaps, our state of health has been declining generally over the last 3,000 years, coinciding essentially with the broad adoption of agriculture.
