In Psychotherapy Reflections a psychoanalytically-informed patient
describes his feelings about his therapeutic relationship and
critically examines selected therapy sessions from a nine-month
course of treatment. Many texts about psychotherapy are based
either on patient narratives or on a clinical model. Psychotherapy
Reflections, however, combines patient narrative with probing
insight and dream analysis based on the work of noted dream
researcher Stanley R. Palombo, M.D., who has shown that dreams
serve an information-processing function by matching present and
past experience in determining what information will be filtered
through for storage in permanent memory.
Type II diabetes is a massive industry, but it's terrible medicine.
Insulin resistance is not a malfunction to be fixed. It's the way
cells defend themselves against toxicity from too much glucose
uptake. Yet conventional medicine insists on overriding those
defenses with drugs, forcing cells to take up far too much glucose,
simply to clear it from the blood. The results are worsening
glucose toxicity, insulin resistance, and heart disease risk. A
total re-thinking of type II diabetes is long overdue, and is now
here, written by a scientist who has lived through and beaten his
own type II diabetes.

Physician and diagnostician William Morgan worked in the late 19th
century: this book offers an understanding of diabetes mellitus in
his time. Although many of the diagnostic tenets and symptoms of
diabetes were discovered and known, the methods of treating the
illness were sorely lacking. The discovery of insulin was decades
away; as such the remedies noted within this text are obsolete -
chemical concoctions consisting of ingredients like Sulphur, opium,
phosphates, and the inhalation of oxygen gas. A chapter is devoted
to now-discredited homeopathic treatments. While the general
symptoms of the illness are known, distinctions between Type 1 and
Type 2 diabetes was mpt. The author notes the connection of
diabetes with sugar, and is able to make recommendations with
respect to dietary intake and nutrition that carry some relevance
to the modern-day clinic. Recipes are appended, attested by other
physicians as favorable. Overwhelmingly however, we find 19th
century medicine lacking for diabetes.
The world of single-board computing puts powerful coding tools in
the palm of your hand. The portable Raspberry Pi computing platform
with the power of Linux yields an exciting exploratory tool for
beginning scientific computing. Science and Computing with
Raspberry Pi takes the enterprising researcher, student, or
hobbyist through explorations in a variety of computing exercises
with the physical sciences. The book has tutorials and exercises
for a wide range of scientific computing problems while guiding the
user through: Configuring your Raspberry Pi and Linux operating
system Understanding the software requirements while using the Pi
for scientific computing Computing exercises in physics, astronomy,
chaos theory, and machine learning
Photobiomodulation in the Brain: Low-Level Laser (Light) Therapy in
Neurology and Neuroscience presents the fundamentals of
photobiomodulation and the diversity of applications in which light
can be implemented in the brain. It will serve as a reference for
future research in the area, providing the basic foundations
readers need to understand photobiomodulation's science-based
evidence, practical applications and related adaptations to
specific therapeutic interventions. The book covers the mechanisms
of action of photobiomodulation to the brain, and includes chapters
describing the pre-clinical studies and clinical trials that have
been undertaken for diverse brain disorders, including traumatic
events, degenerative diseases and psychiatric disorders.
As early as 2030 the Arctic Ocean could lose essentially all of its
ice during the warmest months of the year-a radical transformation
that would destroy virtually all of the Arctic ecosystems and
disrupt or destroy many northern communities, if not many
communities along the coastal areas of Earth. Even now
concentrations of Greenhouse gases are rising dramatically -
because of mankind's industry as well as human overpopulation
leading to the destruction of the cycle of photosynthesis. The
human of Earth seems to be leading its own extinction. Has the
cycle reached its "critical mass" and now unable to be reversed?
Will popular social efforts such as "Going Green" help in any way
whatsoever at this point in a global evolutionary crisis? In only a
few - perhaps two - generations of the human race might we know the
answers to whether the human race will have a planet capable of
sustaining life without ever leaving this world.
Nervous System Drug Delivery: Principles and Practice helps users
understand the nervous system physiology affecting drug delivery,
the principles that underlie various drug delivery methods, and the
appropriate application of drug delivery methods for drug- and
disease-specific treatments. Researchers developing nervous system
putative therapeutic agents will use this book to optimize drug
delivery during preclinical assessment and to prepare for
regulatory advancement of new agents. Clinicians will gain direct
insights into pathophysiologic alterations that impact drug
delivery and students and trainees will find this a critical
resource for understanding and applying nervous system drug
delivery techniques.
