On November 4th, 2007, I visited with my best friend to celebrate
my birthday. It was a typical warm afternoon in Florida. I was
surprisingly complimented with a delectable meal accompanied by
Miami staple drink, Mojitos. I sat in the backyard terrace
oblivious to all cares of this world, amid good company and
laughter when suddenly I felt a lurch in my stomach followed by a
piercing sound and the most uncomfortable, fullness sensation in my
ears. The nausea wave followed suit and in seconds my celebratory
meal and drinks were inevitably expelled in a projectile vomiting
episode. The deja-vu feeling was overwhelming. My relatives and
friends' faces danced in a sort of a burlesque fashion around me. I
was spinning violently yet my body rested motionless in my chair.
The terrace did not stop gyrating and neither did the faces who
danced in an uncontrollable kaleidoscope fashion. As I lay
powerless and terrified I realized that I was Back in the Swirl...

MICHAEL BALL What can a diseased brain tell us about being human,
living our own lives better and helping those with dementia get the
best from theirs? When Wendy Mitchell was diagnosed with
young-onset dementia at the age of fifty-eight, her brain was
overwhelmed with images of the last stages of the disease - those
familiar tropes, shortcuts and cliches that we are fed by the
media, or even our own health professionals. But her diagnosis far
from represented the end of her life. Instead, it was the start of
a very different one. Wise, practical and life affirming, What I
Wish People Knew About Dementia combines anecdotes, research and
Wendy Mitchell's own brilliant wit and wisdom to tell readers
exactly what she wishes they knew about dementia.
Did you know oil pulling process literarily heals every working
part of your body, eventually making you fit and healthy in the
long run? Nutritionists and functional medicine specialists have
seen positive results. Although the oil pulling concept has already
started to gain steam in the Western World in recent years, dental
professionals are still confused when it comes to proper responses
to patient cases who have already adopted this particular
alternative therapy. The thing is the longer you do the swishing of
oil into your mouth (specifically the teeth and gums), the more
microbes will be dug and taken away. You have to swish the oil
enough until it turns into milky white. When this happens you can
be certain that harmful bacteria has been removed.
The causes of schizophrenia are many, including extreme stress,
chemical imbalance, reaction to drugs, genetic predisposition,
isolation, low self-esteem, and even a damaged or weakened aura (a
supposed emanation surrounding the body of a living creature viewed
by mystics, spiritualists, and some practitioners of complementary
medicine as the essence of the individual and allegedly discernible
by people with special sensibilities). My personal onset of
schizophrenia and depression at age forty-two was caused, I
believe, by a combination of the above.
Through the caring help of family, friends, medical doctors,
healers, and my own insights and intuitions, I was able to become
completely free of the symptoms of schizophrenia and all
antipsychotic and antidepressant medications used to treat the
illness. Most influential and important to my healing and recovery,
however, was the utilization of both borrowed and original
strategies that keep me healthy to this day. The sharing of these
strategies, which include identifying one's gifts; relying on
family members, friends, and caregivers; improving one's
self-esteem; identifying one's authentic self; connecting with
healers; being in gratitude; setting goals; and using positive
affirmations for the purpose of recovering and maintaining positive
mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical health is the reason why
I have written this book.
