by MELANIE TALAG No need to wait for time to heal the emotional wounds wrought by heartbreak, depression, trauma stomach-lurching stress, rage, melancholy and a hundred other negative emotions a person is bound to experience in the course of his or her lifetime. According to the new worldview linking negative emotional states with the physical body, all that emotional angst left untreated resurfaces as very real physical ailments like ulcers, high blood pressure, arthritis, migraine, headaches, respiratory problems, allergies, psychosomatic illnesses and even cancer. Negative emotions can be attended to and actually banished merely by swallowing a few drops of the contents of small amber-colored dropper bottles. The pills for emotional malaise as we near the next millenium are called "flower essences". They have been around since the 1930s, ever since Dr. Edward Bach , a famous British medical doctor, homeopath and psychic, captured the life force energy of 37 English flowers...

By Crysta Imperial Rara Alaine Silan is a tall and pretty girl of 18 years. A BS Nursing freshman, she gushes like a teenager as she recounts her experiences which definitely set her apart from other girls her age – Alaine has acute leukemia. Diagnosed last February 2005, her doctors wanted her to undergo a bone marrow transplant immediately. But the expenses it would entail led her parents, both schoolteachers, and siblings to opt for chemotherapy instead. Her first chemo session left her extremely traumatized and without improvement as she experienced the usual effects of the treatment – baldness, nausea and general weakness – and had to be hospitalized for a month. Her second chemo treatment about a month later almost killed her – she had to fight for her life in the hospital’s intensive care unit (ICU). For four days, she had internal bleeding, three seizures and a 50-50 chance of survi...

By Jamal Ashley Abbas While the medical industry boasts of great advances in pharmacology and surgical procedures, including state-of-the-art million-dollar machines, millions of people are suffering and dying from chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, arthritis, Alzheimer's Disease, cystic fibrosis, eating disorders, end stage renal disease, osteoporosis and of course, the Big C – Cancer.

In Philosophy, holism is the theory that says that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. In medicine, this refers to the treatment of individuals which take into consideration not just the disease but also mental and social factors. Holism is the opposite of reductionism where wholes are reduced to its parts. In Medicine, a person's kidney is treated as a kidney - period. Who owns that kidney is immaterial or irrelevant. Holism, as used in this blog, regards a human being as a Whole Being - with body, mind and spirit. Everything affects everything else. One's life is affected by everythin -- one's eating habits, one's thinking, one's relationships with friends and lovers, etc. This blog hopes to add to the blogosphere's discussion on Holistic Living .
