Curing Patient Frustration: How Alternative Medicine Can Help
At the close of the twentieth century, we are reminded of a
hundred years of advances, most of which have advanced our quest for
scientific knowledge, better living, and harmony with the
environment. We are living in a high tech world, but how that does
affect health care? Are people even happy with the changes that have
occurred because of this technology?
The Pitfalls of Today's Healthcare
There is no doubt that people are living longer than ever before,
largely due to drugs that help us fight disease (especially
infections), and to diagnostic techniques, including imaging
techniques that allow us to take pictures of structures within the
body smaller than the period at the end of this sentence. However,

Natural Management of Menopause
Before reaching menopause, a potentially liberating stage of
life, women go through perimenopause—the transition time between
regular menstrual cycles and their complete cessation. On the
average, women move into menopause around ages 50 to 52. If all is
well, perimenopause should not exceed one year. Over the course of

facilitate smooth sailing through this tumultuous period. I think

begin, women have the opportunity to redirect their creative energy.

Powerful
Documentary Films at HealthyPlace.com
Watch four of the most powerful mental health videos you
have ever seen. These are stories about
sexual molestation,
rape,
eating disorders and teens trapped in
abusive relationships.
What makes these mental health films different and so moving is that they
describe the impact of physical and sexual violence and misperceptions on their
victims. And for the most part, these stories are told in the victim's or
sufferer's own words.
You can watch them using your windows media player. We've also set up special
bulletin boards for your feedback.

The Psychology of Getting Better
Our guest, Susan, was sexually abused over 30 years ago. She's been diagnosed
with major depression, PTSD, OCD and panic disorder and was hospitalized at
least twice. Susan's spent the last 10 years in therapy trying to deal with what
happened. Over that period of time, she's changed meds, changed doctors, tried
to journal, tried meditation, tried keeping busy. At 45, she still can't deal
with the sadness. She, like many who suffer from various psychological
disorders, wants to know -- what's it take to get better?
