Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How often have you experienced a physical reaction or change that shocked you beyond your understanding? Im talking about a single event so absurd and unheard of that you were afraid to tell anyone about it? This book is a personal journey of my own experience with Morgellons Disease. A disease that has been kept hush-hush for years by they that know about it. It has been said that it is caused by a chemical knowingly or unknowingly released by the government. It has been leaked into our society in which it is banned. Found to be a genetically modified product poisoning many innocent people. A disease difficult to describe. Difficult because not one of its harrowing symptoms can be compared to any other disease. Symptoms so traumatizing many of its victims commit suicide. Others suffer in silence. I did just that. After 10 long arduous years of solitude, I have recovered and chose to share my testimony with you. In this profound and self-revealing book, I hope to help other victims and their families to cope with all of the life-changing events that can take place. For all the people suffering from this wretched condition, I hope this brings you comfort knowing youre not alone. For families suffering with afflicted loved ones...I hope this gives you peace and some guidance through it all. I wont stop fighting until Morgellons is a household word and people know and see our needs.

The strong will survive and be better and wiser because of them. Mine started one day with strange fibers protruding out of my skin. Becoming scared for my daughter's life and my own set me on a desperate search for answers. Sixteen years later, I learned that the Center for Disease Control (C.D.C.) has a name for those bizarre fibers, and that hundreds of thousands of other families are suffering from this same disease; and its many symptoms. Within the shadows of my story could be many hidden connections and answers to the illnesses that countless people around us are dealing with ever day. As my own shocking account of first hand Morgellons unfolds - with its documented evidence - you will be gripped by the horrifying encounters one faces with the fibers from Morgellons disease. You will be encouraged through my desperate search, which led me to God. You will be disturbed by the lack of concern and or answers people are receiving from the medical professionals and our government agencies. Throughout my experience, this has been the most disturbing element through it all. They now call it Morgellons... 16 years ago I called it the skin disease from hell. My account could hold answers form you or perhaps your loved ones.

Download or read book Health Humanities Reader written by Therese Jones and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2014-08-28 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past forty years, the health humanities, previously called the medical humanities, has emerged as one of the most exciting fields for interdisciplinary scholarship, advancing humanistic inquiry into bioethics, human rights, health care, and the uses of technology. It has also helped inspire medical practitioners to engage in deeper reflection about the human elements of their practice. In Health Humanities Reader, editors Therese Jones, Delese Wear, and Lester D. Friedman have assembled fifty-four leading scholars, educators, artists, and clinicians to survey the rich body of work that has already emerged from the field—and to imagine fresh approaches to the health humanities in these original essays. The collection’s contributors reflect the extraordinary diversity of the field, including scholars from the disciplines of disability studies, history, literature, nursing, religion, narrative medicine, philosophy, bioethics, medicine, and the social sciences. With warmth and humor, critical acumen and ethical insight, Health Humanities Reader truly humanizes the field of medicine. Its accessible language and broad scope offers something for everyone from the experienced medical professional to a reader interested in health and illness.
Download or read book Reckless Daughter written by David Yaffe and published by Sarah Crichton Books. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "She was like a storm." —Leonard Cohen Reckless Daughter is the story of an artist and an era that have left an indelible mark on American music. Joni Mitchell may be the most influential female recording artist and composer of the late twentieth century. In Reckless Daughter, the music critic David Yaffe tells the remarkable, heart-wrenching story of how the blond girl with the guitar became a superstar of folk music in the 1960s, a key figure in the Laurel Canyon music scene of the 1970s, and the songwriter who spoke resonantly to, and for, audiences across the country. A Canadian prairie girl, a free-spirited artist, Mitchell never wanted to be a pop star. She was nothing more than “a painter derailed by circumstances,” she would explain. And yet, she went on to become a talented self-taught musician and a brilliant bandleader, releasing album after album, each distinctly experimental, challenging, and revealing. Her lyrics captivated listeners with their perceptive language and naked emotion, born out of Mitchell’s life, loves, complaints, and prophecies. As an artist whose work deftly balances narrative and musical complexity, she has been admired by such legendary lyricists as Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen and beloved by such groundbreaking jazz musicians as Jaco Pastorius, Wayne Shorter, and Herbie Hancock. Her hits—from “Big Yellow Taxi” to “Both Sides, Now” to “A Case of You”—endure as timeless favorites, and her influence on the generations of singer-songwriters who would follow her, from her devoted fan Prince to Björk, is undeniable. In this intimate biography, drawing on dozens of unprecedented in-person interviews with Mitchell, her childhood friends, and a cast of famous characters, Yaffe reveals the backstory behind the famous songs—from Mitchell’s youth in Canada, her bout with polio at age nine, and her early marriage and the child she gave up for adoption, through the love affairs that inspired masterpieces, and up to the present—and shows us why Mitchell has so enthralled her listeners, her lovers, and her friends.

Book excerpt: From personal loss to phantom diseases, The Empathy Exams is a bold and brilliant collection, winner of the Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize A Publishers Weekly Top Ten Essay Collection of Spring 2014 Beginning with her experience as a medical actor who was paid to act out symptoms for medical students to diagnose, Leslie Jamison's visceral and revealing essays ask essential questions about our basic understanding of others: How should we care about each other? How can we feel another's pain, especially when pain can be assumed, distorted, or performed? Is empathy a tool by which to test or even grade each other? By confronting pain—real and imagined, her own and others'—Jamison uncovers a personal and cultural urgency to feel. She draws from her own experiences of illness and bodily injury to engage in an exploration that extends far beyond her life, spanning wide-ranging territory—from poverty tourism to phantom diseases, street violence to reality television, illness to incarceration—in its search for a kind of sight shaped by humility and grace.
