When asked, the one thing most people would least want to lose is their vision. Macular Degeneration is particularly frustrating, because it affects the central vision, so that whatever you look at is distorted or even disappears in a black hole... While recent announcements in the news have brought hope to millions that stem cell injections deep into the eye have now been observed to stimulate regeneration of the macula, potentially restoring functional vision to those blinded by this common condition, the methods outlined in detail in this book have stimulated this kind of healing as well, without any invasive procedures. Such results have been observed independently by two different Harvard trained retinal specialists following Dr. Swartwout's patients after they chose to pursue accelerated self healing with his guidance rather than the medically recommended laser surgery for wet macular degeneration, considered the worst type of maculopathy. Whether you are looking for guidance and direction for self-healing, or additional tools as a physician or natural healer, to prevent vision loss and even help improve the chance of restoring sight to the blind, this is the book you need. It is a comprehensive overview of nature's many healing angels that have already proven helpful in healing macular disease.

In this innovative book, Theodore Dimon, EdD, shows how each part of the vocal organ (breathing, larynx, throat, and so on) works as part of a larger musculoskeletal system that is often interfered with, and how identifying this larger system and understanding in a practical way how it works allows a person to train and improve the voice, whether speaking or singing. Traditional vocal training methods, says Dimon, cannot be effective without restoring the functioning of the musculature that supports the voice. Enhanced with over 50 detailed full - color illustrations, the book discusses the fallacy of traditional breathing exercises and explains that the key to efficient breathing lies in the expansive support of the trunk and rib cage. Investigating the elements needed to produce a strong supported tone, Dimon describes the importance of voice ''placement, '' or directing the sound to a part of the body in order to produce a fully rounded, resonant tone. He identifies harmful patterns of speech and singing, and offers helpful methods for reestablishing the natural function of the vocal mechanism. Individual chapters cover elements of the whispered ''ah, '' producing a pure sung tone, vocal registers, the suspensory muscles of the larynx, and mor

On the outside, John Parrish is a highly successful doctor, having risen to the top of his field as department head at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. Inside, however, he was so tortured by the memories of his tour of duty as a marine battlefield doctor in Vietnam that he was unable to live a normal life. In "Autopsy of War," the author delivers an unflinching narrative chronicling his four-decade battle with the unseen enemy in his own mind as he struggled with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Parrish examines his Southern Baptist childhood and the profound influence of his father, a fire and brimstone preacher turned Navy chaplain, while offering a candid assessment of the "God and Country" ethos that leads young men to rush wide-eyed into war. He describes the unimaginable carnage and acts of cruelty he witnessed in Vietnam, experiences that shattered his world view leaving him to retreat from his family upon his return stateside. Living virtually homeless at times, he visited veteran shelters and relived the horrors of war in a series of harrowing flashbacks as he dealt with suicidal thoughts. The author writes honestly and probingly of his episodes of infidelity and battles with sex addiction. Readers follow his steady journey toward recovery and his professional contributions in the field of medicine and technology, as well as a joint program with the Boston Red Sox and Massachusetts General Hospital to aid returning veterans. Perhaps most poignantly, Parrish speaks of his quest to discover the identity of one particular solider in Vietnam he could not save--and whose memory has haunted him ever since.

"Autopsy of War" is a soul searching memoir that is both an intensely personal narrative and a universally relevant trip through the world of war and recovery.

Karen Putz grew up hard of hearing and became deaf as a teen. When her own kids began losing their hearing one by one, she figured she had all the answers.

The book has been designed to provide readers with an understanding of cerebral palsy (CP) as a developmental as well as a neurological condition. It details the nature of CP, its causes and its clinical manifestations. Using clear, accessible language (supported by an extensive glossary) the authors have blended current science with metaphor both to explain the biomedical underpinnings of CP and to share their awareness that there is much that can be done to promote child and family development, enhance the capabilities of young people with CP, empower their families, and chart a course into adulthood.

The authors have reviewed classification and have emphasised the wide range of functional impairments that are seen in both children and adults with cerebral palsy. In doing so they have used the ICF framework and have described the range of interventions that may be applicable to people with cerebral palsy whilst emphasising that the condition is lifelong and that promotion of adaptation is a key component to understanding its nature and effects.

Essential reading for parents and carers of those with cerebral palsy, clinicians, paediatricians, neurologists, occupational therapists and physiotherapists.

Not so many years ago thousands of British children were taken away from their families to live in institutions. Children, sometimes only a few weeks old were separated from devastated mothers in a dark, shameful manoeuvre so as not to offend the civilisation of 'normality'. For many, being born with a learning disability was a crime, or at least punishable as one. Their parents were not callous, uncaring people but were swayed by the popular and professional opinion that life in an institution was 'in their best interests', leaving them with a guilt that can only be understood by another parent. The bond was unaltered by disability and diagnosis and many were stuck, unable to grieve, unable to confide in others, unable to move on or pull their lives back to some sort of order and happiness. In a world where intelligence brings freedom, Jess' life is a continuous battle to prove her worth and capability. At 17 years of age, she is left at a long stay hospital when her mother dies in 1955. This book describes her development from naive, innocent, immature and in many ways pampered child to an articulate, capable woman - whose strength and determination far outweigh the "intelligent" people around her. Just as the hospital becomes home her life is uprooted again by another well meaning individual who believes she knows what is in Jess' best interests.

The hope is that parents may relate to the challenges and triumphs our children may face daily. There are many different characteristics that a child with autism may have. My son is extremely intelligent as are many autistic children. Where he needs special attention is in his social skills.
