Ho’oponopono, the Hawaiian system that heals oneself ... and the world, too&lt;/h2&gt;

More than thirty years ago, in Hawaii, at the Hawaii State Hospital, there was a special ward, a clinic for the mentally ill criminals. People who had committed extremely serious crimes were assignated there either because they had a very deep mental disorder or because they needed to be checked to see if they were sane enough to stand trial. They had committed murder, rape, kidnapping or other such crimes. According to a nurse that worked there in those years, the place was so bleak that not even the paint could stick to the walls, everything was decaying, terrifying, repulsive. No day would pass without a patient-inmate attacking another inmate or a member of the staff.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
The people working there were so frightened that they would walk close to the walls if they saw an inmate coming their way in a corridor, even though they were all shackled, all the time –but more than once this wouldn’t stop an agression. The inmates would never be brought outside to get fresh air because of their relentlessly threatening attitude. The scarcity of staff was a chronic occurrence. Nurses, wardens, employees would prefer to be on sick-leave most of the time in order not to confront such a depressive and dangerous environment.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Enters Dr. Hew Len&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
One day, a newly appointed clinical psychologist, a Dr. Stanley Hew Len, arrived at the ward. The nurses rolled their eyes, bracing themselves for one more guy that was going to bug them with new theories and proposals to fix the horrid situation, who would walk away as soon as things became unpleasant, around a month later, usually. However, this new doctor wouldn’t do anything like that. Actually he didn’t seem to be doing anything in particular, except just coming in and being always cheerful and smiling, in a very natural, relaxed way. He wasn’t even particularly early in arriving every morning. From time to time he would ask for the files of the inmates.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
He never tried to see them personally, though. Apparently he just sat in an office, looked at their files, and to members of the staff who showed an interest he would tell them about a weird thing called Ho’oponopono. Little by little things started to change in the hospital. One day somebody would try again to paint those walls and they actually stayed painted, making the environement more palatable. The gardens started being taken care of, some tennis courts were repaired and some prisonners that up until then would never be allowed to go outside started playing tennis with the staff. Other prisonners would be allowed not to be shackled any more, or would receive less heavy pharmacological drugs. More and more obtained permission to go outside unshackled, without causing trouble to the hospital’s employees.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
In the end, the athmosphere changed so much that the staff was not on sick leave any more. Actually, more people than needed wished now to work there. Prisonners started gradually to be released. Dr. Hew Len worked there close to four years. In the end, there remained only a couple of inmates that were relocated somewhere else and the clinic for the mentally insane criminals had to close.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Another self-help book?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
I have to confess that I don’t remember reading in my whole life one single self-help book. Titles like how to get wealthy in two simple steps or the sure road to love and riches or marketing with the stars or secure your health with this ancient secret of the mayas never passed from my eyes to my consciousness, I simply never payed attention to them.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
So when my neighbor Norma, an 81 year young lady filled with strength, enthousiasm and New York witt, told me: “rosario, you have to read this new book by Joe Vitale”, I stared at her with probably a blank expression, and I asked “who is Joe Vitale?” The extent of my ignorance was too wide for her to try to diminish it, so she replied, “never mind, you have to read this book”. “It’s about a doctor who emptied a ward for mentally insane criminals in a couple of years, just saying a few words to himself.”&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
I asked, “could you repeat what you just said?” And she did. The book displayed all the signs of the self-help book:&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;ZERO LIMITS,&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;The Secret Hawaiian System for Wealth, Health, Peace, and More&lt;/strong&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;but it was too late, I had heard about the doctor and I had developed an instant frenzy, a desperate need to learn what he had done with the crazy criminals, so I grabbed the book and rushed home and started reading, and I didn’t stop until the last word.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
What did Dr. Hew Len do to the patients, how did he treat them that the results were so spectacular? He didn’t do anything. Not a thing to them nor with them, except looking at their files. He only tried to heal himself, applying an old, traditional community problem-solving system from Hawaii, called Ho’oponopono, adapted to individuals by his Teacher, the late Hawaiian sage Morrnah Nalamaku Simeona. And what was he doing to himself? In his own words: “I was simply healing the part of me that created them”.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Actually, he used to sit in his office and look at the patients&#39; files. While perusing them, he would feel something, a pain, an empathy. Then he started the healing on himself, taking full responsibility for what was going on with a given patient. That&#39;s how those people got better, because their doctor had the strange view that it was himself who needed the healing, not them.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Ho’oponopono&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Simply put, Ho’oponopono is based on the knowledge that anything that happens to you or that you perceive, the entire world where you live is your own creation and thus, it is entirely your responsibility. A hundred percent, no exceptions.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Your boss is a tyrant? It’s your responsibility. Your children are not good students? It’s your responsibility. There are wars and you feel bad because you are a good person, a pacifist? The war is your responsibility. You see that children around the world are hungry and malnourished if not starving? Their wont is your responsibility. No exceptions. Literally, the world is your world, it is your creation. As Dr. Hew Len points out: didn’t you notice that whenever you experience a problem you are there?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
It’s your responsibility doesn’t mean it’s your fault, it means that you are responsible for healing yourself in order to heal whatever or whoever it is that appears to you as a problem.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
It might sound crazy, or just plain metaphorical, that the world is your creation. But if you look carefully, you will realize that whatever you call the world and perceive as the world is your world, it is the projection of your own mind. If you go to a party you can see how in the same place, with the same light, the same people, the same food, drink, music and athmosphere, some will enjoy themselves while others will be bored, some will be overenthousiastic and some depressed, some will be talkative and others will be silent. The “out there” for every one of them seems the same, but if one were to connect their brains to machines immediately it would show how different areas of the brain would come alive, how different perceptions there are from one person to the next. So even if they apparently share it, the “out there” is not the same for them, let alone their inner world, their emotions.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
How do you heal yourself with Ho’oponopono? Three steps: by recognizing that whatever comes to you is your creation, the outcome of bad memories buried in you mind; by regretting whatever errors of body, speech and mind caused those bad memories, and by requesting Divine Intelligence within yourself to release those memories, to set you free. Then, of course, you say thank You.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
There are seminars where they teach you many tricks to help this process, but according to Joe Vitale, Dr. Hew Len himself uses the simplest of the formulas from Ho’oponopono. Whenever a matter arises –and they arise incessantly– adressing the Divine within you, you only have to say: I love You, I’m sorry, Please forgive me, Thank You.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0.75em; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
That we can obtain big things from Ho’oponopono has already been shown: the healing of an entire ward of insane criminals seems far more difficult a task than any of our personal troubles. There are, no doubt, piles of testimonies from practitioners. Dr. Hew Len says, however: this is not fast food. The cleaning of memories requires a lot of concentration and persistence and is an unending job. But the result is what he calls Zero Limits, a state where one is free from the past, and suffused with Divine Intelligence and love.&lt;/div&gt;

אם ארוחת הבוקר השגרתית שלכם היא קפה ומאפה, דגנים בחלב או סנדוויץ&#39; חביתה, הבוקר של ג&#39;ו קורדל, עו&quot;ד אמריקני בן 55 מתחיל קצת אחרת. מדי בוקר, קורדל מפנק את עצמו בקערה של פטל טרי, אליה הוא מוסיף מעט אגוזים ואת קליפותיהם של שלושה תפוחים. מהתפוחים עצמם, אגב, הוא נפרד.&lt;/div&gt;

בעשור האחרון יזם האיגוד סדרת מחקרים שמטרתם להוכיח שאם אוכלים פחות – חיים יותר, ויותר טוב. המחקרים משווים בין איכות בריאותם של אנשים שצורכים מזון מערבי רגיל לבין איכות בריאותם של מצמצמי הקלוריות, והתוצאות מעוררות קנאה. “הם נראים כמו זן אחר&quot;, אומר פרופ&#39; לואיג&#39;י פונטנה מאוניברסיטת וושינגטון, שחקר לעומק את חברי האיגוד, את מדדיהם הבריאותיים ואת הרגלי התזונה שלהם.&quot;הם הולכים לחיות יותר מההורים שלהם ומהאחים שלהם. זה מדהים כמה דיאטה יכולה לשנות את האופן שבו גוף האדם עובד. לחץ הדם נמוך יותר, קצב הלב נמוך יותר, הרבה אנרגיה, מטבוליזם איטי, טמפרטורת גוף נמוכה יותר – השוני הוא עצום&quot;.&lt;/div&gt;

הצמצום הקלורי, מתברר, הוא עסק גמיש להפליא: זה יכול להתבטא בהגבלה קפדנית יומית של צריכת הקלוריות, המקצצת ב-25 אחוז מהצריכה; בכמעט-צום המתרחש מדי כמה ימים, ובמסגרתו אוכלים עד 600 קלוריות ליום, או בצום אמיתי של ארבעה ימים בחודש, במהלכם שותים הרבה וצורכים 150 קלוריות יומיות בלבד. כך או כך, דבר אחד משותף לכל סוגי הצמצום הקלורי: פשוט אוכלים פחות. הרבה פחות. &quot;יש 100 אלף דרכים לעשות את זה”, מסביר מקגלותי&#39;ן. &quot;חלק מהמצמצמים אוכלים לחם, למשל. חלקם אוכלים מטוגן. המנטור שלנו, שחי עד גיל 104, אפילו חטא בג&#39;אנק פוד מדי פעם. אבל כולם אכלו מעט&quot;.&lt;/div&gt;

בעוד שגבר בגילו אמור לצרוך כ-2,400 קלוריות ביום, מקגלות&#39;ין מקפיד לצרוך רק 1,850 קלוריות יומיות, ולשרוף 200 קלוריות מתוכן בהליכה או בעבודה בגינה. הוא ואשתו, מרדית&#39; פותחים כל בוקר בשעה שש, בארוחת בוקר עצומה של דגנים, פירות ירקות ו...בטטה. הם אוכלים ארוחת צהרים קטנה ומוותרים לגמרי על ארוחת הערב. אוכל מטוגן, וגם כזה שמכיל רמות גבוהות של סוכר, הם מחוץ לתחום. גם אלכוהול. אבל שניהם מדגישים שכל אחד יכול למצוא לו את השיטה המתאימה לו. יש כאלו שבוחרים לאכול חמש ארוחות קטנות ביום, למשל.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl !important; font-family: arial !important; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
קורדל, כאמור, סועד את ליבו בקליפות תפוחים ובערב מתפרע עם בשר וירקות. בסך הכל: 1,900 קלוריות ביום. לפני עשור, כשקורדל התחיל לחיות לפי הצמצום הקלורי, הוא שקל 80 קילוגרמים. כיום הוא שוקל 59 קילוגרמים ולמרות שהוא בשנות החמישים לחייו, מדדי הבריאות שלו זהים לאלה של אתלט בן עשרים. &quot;אני תמיד יותר שבע מרוב האנשים בשולחן&quot;, סיפר קורדל בראיון ל&quot;לוס אנג&#39;לס טיימס&quot;. &quot;אני אשמח מאוד אם יהיו לי 90 או 95 שנים בלי סרטן, מחלות לב, סכרת או מחלות כרוניות אחרות. מבחינתי זה יצדיק את הבחירה באורח החיים הזה”.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl !important; font-family: arial !important; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
אחיו של קורדל, הצעיר ממנו בשנה וחודשיים, נמוך ממנו ושוקל 54 קילוגרמים יותר ממנו – 113 קילו. &quot;הוא נהנה לאכול מה שהוא רוצה, מתי שהוא רוצה, ותמיד מסתלבט עליי בארוחות משפחתיות כמה זה יהיה מצחיק אם הוא יחיה יותר ממני&quot;, מספר קורדל, &quot;אבל האמת? גם אם תדרוס אותי היום משאית, אני יכול לומר בפה מלא שהחיים שלי עם הגבלת הקלוריות עשירים יותר, מלאים יותר ומהנים יותר מאשר החיים שהיו לי בלעדיה”.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl !important; font-family: arial !important; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
זה התחיל ממחקר שביצעו מארי קרוול וקלייב מקיי מאוניברסיטת קורנל שבניו יורק, ושתוצאותיו פורסמו ב-1934. במהלך המחקר גילו השניים שחולדות שהתקיימו על תזונה מאוזנת אך מוגבלת, האריכות ימים באופן משמעותי – עד פי שניים יותר מחולדות שאכלו כרגיל. הניסוי הזה הוכיח את עצמו שוב ושוב גם בחיות אחרות: אצל עכבישים, עכברים ואפילו אצל קופים.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl !important; font-family: arial !important; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
בהקדמה החשובה של מאמרם, הציגו קרוול ומקיי טקסט שפורסם במאה ה-11 לספירה, ובו מפציר הכותב בבני האדם לאכול מעט כדי להאריך חיים. קרוול ומקיי טענו כי בעבר ידעו בני האדם שאכילה מועטה מאריכה חיים, אך הידע הזה אבד להם בגלל הכלכלה המודרנית. לתפיסתם, המחשבה שילד חייב לגדול כמה שיותר מהר היא הלך רוח הנובע מרצונם של גופי צרכנות ושיווק למכור מזון ומוצרים נלווים לילדים. אבל אף אחד, כתבו, לא חקר מה המחיר של הפיזי של האבסת הילדים והבאתם לבגרות במינימום זמן.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl !important; font-family: arial !important; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
פריצת דרך משמעותית נוספת אירעה ב-1993, כשסינתיה קניון, ד&quot;ר לכימיה ולביוכימיה מאוניברסיטת קליפורניה בסן פרנסיסקו, חשפה כי ההורמון IGF-1 – &amp;nbsp;הידוע כאחראי על הגדילה, מאיץ מאוד את ההזדקנות.&amp;nbsp;ד&quot;ר קניון, שתחום המחקר שלה הוא הזדקנות, חקרה הארכת חיים של תולעים מיקרוסקופיות (נמטודה) ומצאה את הגן DAF-2 , המייצר את הקולטן להורמוןIGF-1 . קניון קראה לו &quot;גן מלאך המוות&quot;, כי כשהיא פגמה בגן הזה התולעים חיו כפול זמן, היו פוריות לאורך זמן וחסינות בפני מחלות. מכאן היא הסיקה שרמות נמוכות של הורמון גדילה ואינסולין בגוף, מאטות את תהליך ההזדקנות ומחזקות את הגוף (ב&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V48M5j-6zdE&quot; style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Arial;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;הרצאה של קניון ב-TED&lt;/a&gt;, בדקה 2:50, יש השוואה של התולעים עם המוטציה ובלי המוטציה ביום ה-13 לחייהן).&lt;/div&gt;

איך זה קשור למזון? ד&quot;ר קניון מסבירה שהאינסולין והורמון הגדילה הופכים לפעילים כשיש להם תנאים טובים – כלומר, כשהם מקבלים הרבה אוכל, שבאמצעותו אנו גדלים. אבל כשהמוח חושב שהוא ב&quot;זמנים קשים&quot; ולא מקבל המון אוכל, הוא מפעיל מנגנוני הגנה ותיקון של תאי הגוף והתוצאה היא הפעלה יעילה יותר, בבריאות טובה יותר, לאורך זמן רב יותר.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl !important; font-family: arial !important; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&quot;אפשר לחשוב על זה כמו על אב בית עצלן, שזז ממש לאט&quot;, הסבירה ד&quot;ר קניון בהרצאה מ-2011. &quot;עד שהוא מגלה שעומדת להגיע סופת הוריקן ולמוטט את הבניין. מאותו רגע הוא מצלצל בבהלה לזגגים, בנאים, צבעים וכל בעלי המקצוע האפשריים, כדי שיבואו לעזור לו למגן את הבית. כך שכשהסופה מגיעה, הבית כבר נמצא במצב הרבה יותר טוב ממה שהיה, וגם יחזיק מעמד יותר זמן בעתיד, אפילו אם לא תגיע סופה&quot;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl !important; font-family: arial !important; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&quot;ד&quot;ר קניון בעצם חשפה מה קורה בתוך התאים במצב של צמצום קלורי”, מסביר מקגלות&#39;ין. &quot;כשהתאים מקבלים פחות אנרגיה, הם לא רק הופכים ליותר יעילים, משתמשים יותר טוב בסוכר, שורפים את השומן ולא אוגרים אותו – אלא גם מתקנים את הרקמות בגוף שלך ביותר יעילות. הרבה אנשים שמתחילים לצמצם קלוריות מדווחים על שיפור בראייה, למשל. והדבר הכי בולט הוא עליה עצומה באנרגיה. אתה מרגיש שאתה יכול לעשות הרבה יותר, כל היום&quot;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h4 style=&quot;direction: rtl; font-size: 16px !important; margin: 16px 0px 14px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
125 קלוריות ביום&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl !important; font-family: arial !important; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
הוכחה נוספת ליעילות השיטה מגיעה מהמקום הכי לא צפוי: אקוודור. בפברואר 2011 פירסמה קבוצת חוקרים בראשות ד&quot;ר גווארה-אגייר מאוניברסיטת קיטו שבאקוודור ופרופסור לונגו מאוניברסיטת דרום קליפורניה מאמר, המתאר את תוצאותיהן של 24 שנות תצפית ומחקר על 99 חולי תסמונת לרון תושבי דרום אקוודור. גופם של אנשים הסובלים מתסמונת לרון – מחלה נדירה, הפעילה אצל כ-300 חולים ברחבי העולם כיום - מייצר כמות קטנה מאוד של הורמון גדילה ולכן הם מאוד קטנים מבחינה פיזית, כלומר גמדים. הקבוצה התגלתה על ידי ד&quot;ר גווארה ב-1987 ‏וכעבור שבע שנים, כשהבחין בהבדלי התחלואה הבולטים ביניהם לבין קרובי משפחתם (שאינם חולים בתסמונת לרון), צירף למחקרו גם את פרופסור לונגו האמריקאי.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl !important; font-family: arial !important; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
מתברר שבמשך כל שנות המחקר, דור שלם, איש מ-99 הנבדקים, לא חלה בסוכרת. אצל בני משפחתם שחיו באותו אזור ואפילו באותו בית, אך לא היו חולים בתסמונת לרון, התגלתה סוכרת באחוזים דומים מאוד לאלו המקובלים אצל שאר האוכלוסייה באזור – חמישה אחוז. בנוסף, אשה אחת בלבד מכל הנבדקים חלתה במהלך 24 השנים הללו בסרטן. בהשוואה, אצל 17 אחוז מבני המשפחה הבריאים התגלו מקרי סרטן – שוב, דומה לאוכלוסייה הכללית באזור. החוקרים גם הישוו תרביות תאים של חולי תסמונת לרון, לאלה של קרוביהם הבריאים וגילו כי הדי.אן.איי של חולי תסמונת לרון נפגע הרבה פחות מפגיעות חיצוניות שונות, מאשר זה של קרוביהם הבריאים. תאים שהדי.אן.איי שלהם כן נפגע, השמידו את עצמם – כלומר, התאבדו – תהליך ידוע של הגנה עצמית מפני סרטן.&lt;/div&gt;

כתב הרפואה והמדע של ה-BBC מייקל מוזלי יצא לחקור את השיטה עבור תוכנית הבריאות של הרשת. “שום דבר בהכשרה הרפואית שלי לא הכין אותי למה שמצאתי&quot;, סיפר ל&quot;ניו יורק טיימס&quot;, &quot;למרות שרוב הדתות כוללות צומות שונים, האמת היא שזה תמיד לי נראה דרסטי וקשה&quot;. כדי לבדוק על מה כל המהומה, החליט מוזלי, בשנות ה-50 לחייו, להשוות את מדדיו הבריאותיים לאלו של ג&#39;ו קורדל, מקלף התפוחים מתחילת הכתבה. התוצאות, שלא במפתיע, נטו לטובתו של קורדל בכל מדד אפשרי. בזמן שכל הבדיקות שלו היו תקינות לגמרי ובגבולות הנורמה, הבדיקות של מוזלי חשפו שהוא על גבול הסכרת, עם רמות גבוהות של הורמון גדילה בדם ולא פחות מ-27% שומן בגוף. רופאת המשפחה של מוזלי הסבירה לו שתוך עשור הוא יצטרך להיעזר בשמונה תרופות שונות כדי לטפל בבעיות הבריאות שלו.&lt;br style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot; /&gt;האם צום שיפר את המצב? במשך שלושה ימים ארוכים מוסלי צרך רק 125 קלוריות ביום, לצד הרבה מים, תה וקפה. התוצאה? רמות הסוכר וההורמון IGF-1 ירדו בחצי, אל גבולות הנורמה. מוזלי גילה שבכדי להשיג את האפקט של הצמצום הקלורי ולשמור על היתרונות הבריאותיים, הוא יצטרך לצום כך פעם בחודש.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl !important; font-family: arial !important; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
במרץ השנה חשף מוזלי את הגרסא שלו לצמצום הקלורי: הוא פרסם ספר בשם “5:2”, שהפך לרב מכר בארצות הברית, בריטניה וניו זילנד. כפי שאפשר לנחש מהשם, השיטה של מוזלי כוללת חמישה ימים של אכילה רגילה ושני ימי צום, במהלכם הוא אוכל רק 600 קלוריות. כדי לסבר את האוזן, זה אומר, למשל, ארוחת בוקר של שתי ביצים על לחם דגנים וקערת פטל, וארוחת בערב של סלמון צלוי עם שעועית ירוקה ועגבניות שרי. זהו. 300 קלוריות בבוקר, 300 קלוריות בערב ובין לבין הרבה מים, תה וקפה.&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl !important; font-family: arial !important; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;

לפני שהתחיל בצום שקל מוסלי, 180 ס&quot;מ של בריטיות שמנמנה, 85 ק&quot;ג. היקף המותניים שלו היה 91 ס&quot;מ, הצוואר 43 ס&quot;מ והוא סבל מממדי סוכר וכולסטרול גבוהים. בתוך חודשיים השיל עשרה קילוגרמים ממשקלו, וכל המדדים הבריאותיים שלו, כולל סוכר וכולסטרול, צנחו בחזרה לגבולות הנורמה. כיום הוא שוקל 76 ק”ג, אם תהיתם, והיקף המתניים שלו הוא 83 ס”מ. “לא רציתי לרדת יותר במשקל כי אשתי, שהיא רופאה, אמרה שאני נראה כחוש&quot;, הוא אומר, &quot;אז כיום אני צם יום בשבוע ולרוב מוותר על ארוחת צהרים בשאר הימים&quot;. ומה עם הרעב? &quot;התרגלתי”, סיכם בראיון לניו יורק טיימס, &quot;זה אחד הדברים שעוברים אחרי כמה זמן וגיליתי שזה מחדד את החושים ואת המוח שלי&quot;.&lt;/div&gt;

למרות המילים הנלהבות, מומלץ לתפוס את שיטת הצמצום הקלורי בפרופורציות הנכונות: עדיין אין מחקר ארוך טווח שהוכיח שהדיאטה מאריכה חיים או משפרת את הבריאות בבני אדם. בעשר השנים האחרונות מממן איגוד מצמצמי הקלוריות שלל מחקרים, שמטרתם להוכיח שאם תאכלו פחות – תחיו טוב יותר והרבה יותר. “את המחקר הראשון התחלנו ב-2002, עם עשרה מחברי האיגוד&quot;, מספר מקגלות&#39;ין, &quot;אחר כך השתתפנו במחקר של אוניברסיטת וושינגטון, במחקר של זוכת פרס נובל ד&quot;ר אליזבת בלקברן, שתוצאותיו יפורסמו בקרוב, ויש עוד פרויקט שעומד להתחיל. מעבר לזה, אנחנו מחפשים 1,000 מצמצמי קלוריות שישתתפו במחקר שיעקוב אחריהם כל חייהם&quot;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl !important; font-family: arial !important; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
לפני שאתם רצים להיפרד מהאוכל במקרר, חשוב להבהיר שלא כולם ממהרים להתלהב מהשיטה. &quot;צמצום קלורי לא הוכח כשיטת טיפול נרחבת לאורך זמן בקהל רחב&quot;, מבהיר ד&quot;ר דרור דיקר, מנהל מחלקה פנימית ד&#39; והמרכז הרב תחומי לטיפול בעודף משקל בבי&quot;ח השרון, “עברו 13 שנים עד שהוכיחו שירידה במשקל מפחיתה תמותה, אז צריך להבין שמחקרים רפואיים כוללים לוקחים זמן ושלהוכיח עובדות רפואיות בנוגע למטאבוליזם זה מאוד מסובך. צריך לעקוב אחרי אנשים במשך שנים ארוכות&quot;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl !important; font-family: arial !important; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
גם ד&quot;ר דיקר מודה שצמצום קלורי יכול לסייע בהפחתה של כמות האינסולין בגוף וכן של מחלות הלב. “זה הגיוני כי את משפרת את המטאבוליזם&quot;, הוא מסביר, &quot;אבל שימי לב שמצמצמי הקלוריות עושים את זה באופן מאוד מבוקר ומקפידים לאכול את כל מה שהגוף צריך. הם שומרים על BMI (BODY MASS INDEX – מדד מסת הגוף, באמצעותו בודקים האם אדם נמצא במשקל תקין או לא ומה אחוזי השומן בגופו - .א.ר.) בריא. אבל מי שמצמצם קלוריות לאורך זמן ויורד מה-BMI הבריא – ימות לפני. אין פה שאלה&quot;.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl !important; font-family: arial !important; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
ד&quot;ר דיקר מסביר שהמחקרים עליהם מסתמכים מצמצמי הקלוריות הם עדיין נקודתיים: “ברור שלמאזן אנרגיה שלילי יש רווחים בריאותיים לאורך זמן וירידה לדיאטה של 1,800 קלוריות ביום לא מטרידה אותי&quot;, הוא אומר, &quot;אבל צריכה של 600 קלוריות ביום זה סיפור אחר. באותה מידה שהיא יכולה לשפר את קצב הלב ולהוריד לחץ דם, היא עשויה לסכן את האדם אם היא נעשית לא נכון. אם מישהו רוצה לאמץ דיאטה כזו – זה אומר מעקב רפואי מדוקדק למניעת תופעות לוואי חמורות&quot;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;direction: rtl !important; font-family: arial !important; margin-bottom: 19px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;
אולי תופתעו, אבל גם מקגלות&#39;ין מבקש מכם להיזהר: “אנחנו רוצים להיות בריאים ולאו דווקא לרזות&quot;, הוא מדגיש, &quot;ישנם מצמצמי קלוריות שהם לא הכי רזים – אבל הם שומרים על המשקל. הטבלאות של צריכת הקלוריות המומלצות לשיטה, אותן פרסמנו בספר The CR Way הן נקודת פתיחה. אבל כל אחד צריך לעשות ניסוי וטעייה כדי למצוא את מה שעובד בשבילו. אנשים צריכים להבין שזו גישה שלמה לחיים ולא רק בחירה באוכל הנכון&quot;.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
החוקרים הוכיחו שבזכות תרגול קבוע, המוח מסוגל לשנות את הדרך שבה הוא פועל ולשנות את נקודת המבט הפסימית שלנו על החיים. הנתונים הוצגו בסרט דוקומנטרי של ה-BBC שבו הסביר מייקל מוסלי, שסבל מנדודי שינה בעשרים השנים האחרונות, כי רצה להפוך לאדם שמח יותר - כזה שגם ישן טוב יותר.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
מוסלי נבדק על ידי המומחית בתחום פרופ&#39; איליין פוקס מאוניברסיטת אסקס שבבריטניה, והתוצאות הראו כי קיימת פעילות רבה יותר בחלקי המוח שלו הקשורים בשליליות ובפסימיות.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3 class=&quot;pHeader&quot; style=&quot;color: #192862; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 3px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
אסימטריה במוח&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
מחקרים קודמים הראו כי אנשים שסובלים יותר מפסימיות ומחרדה לוקים באסימטריה במוח הגדול, כך שישנה פעילות רבה יותר בהמיספרה הימנית מאשר בהמיספרה השמאלית, מסיבה שאינה ידועה עדיין. האם גם אתם פסימים? ה-BBC מציע&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class=&quot;bluelink&quot; href=&quot;http://www.rainybrainsunnybrain.com/bbc-horizon/&quot; style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Arial, &#39;Arial (Hebrew)&#39;, &#39;David (Hebrew)&#39;, &#39;Courier New (Hebrew)&#39;; font-size: 12px;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;שאלון מקוון&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;כדי לעזור לכם להחליט.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
באמצעות ניתוח הפעילות החשמלית במוח, הצליחו המומחים להוכיח כי הצד הימני במוחו של מוסלי פעיל פי שלושה מאשר הצד השמאלי כשהוא במצב מנוחה.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
למוסלי הוצעו כאמור שני תרגילים לביצוע יומיומי, שיאפשרו לו לשנות את הלך המחשבה שלו: בראשון, תרגול ה&lt;a class=&quot;bluelink&quot; href=&quot;http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-3458506,00.html&quot; style=&quot;color: blue; font-family: Arial, &#39;Arial (Hebrew)&#39;, &#39;David (Hebrew)&#39;, &#39;Courier New (Hebrew)&#39;; font-size: 12px;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;מדיטציה&lt;/a&gt;, הוא התבקש לשבת במקום שקט ולהתמקד במשך 20 דקות באלמנטים פיזיים כמו משקל גופו או האופן שבו הוא נושם. אפשר להתחיל לתרגל זאת במשך עשר דקות ביום, ובהדרגה להעלות את אורך המדיטציה.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
באופן הזה, מאפשרת טכניקת המדיטציה למחשבות שלנו לצוץ ולהיעלם מבלי לשקוע בהן יותר מדי.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
בתרגיל השני מביטים במסך מחשב שעליו מוצגים 15 פרצופים כועסים או חסרי הבעה - ופרצוף אחד מחייך. בתרגיל זה התבקש מוסלי לזהות את הפנים המחייכות ולהקליק עליו. לאחר שעשה זאת, התחלף סט הפרצופים שעל המסך והוא התבקש למצוא שוב את הפנים המחייכות. הרציונל שבבסיס הרעיון הוא לאמן את המוח לחפש את הדימויים החיוביים ולהתכוונן בקלות רבה יותר למחשבות אופטימיות.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
מוסלי דיווח בסרט כי לאחר שבעה שבועות מצב רוחו השתפר, הוא החל לישון טוב יותר ואף לחוש אופטימי. בתום פרק הזמן הזה הוא שב למעבדה, כדי לבחון אם חל שינוי גם בפעילות המוחית שלו. למרבה הפלא, גם האסימטריה בפעילות ההמיספרות שלו התאזנה במידה מסוימת, אינדיקציה נוספת לכך שהוא אכן הפך אופטימי יותר.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
כשביצע שוב את תרגיל הפרצופים, זיהה מוסלי את הפנים המחייכות במהירות רבה יותר, מה שמעיד על כך שהוא מחפש פחות את הצד השלילי בחיים ככלל.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;h3 class=&quot;pHeader&quot; style=&quot;color: #192862; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 3px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
אופטימיות ב-8 צעדים&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
התחילו בעשר דקות ביום, והעלו בהדרגה עד שתגיעו לתרגול מדיטציה יומיומי של 20 דקות:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;1. קודם כל, נשמו.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;לפני שאתם מקדישים תשומת לב לחרדה או למחשבות השליליות שטורדות אתכם, התמקדו בנשימה שלכם, בתחושת האוויר הנכנס באיטיות אל הנחיריים ויורד בגרון אל הריאות.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;2.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;הקשיבו ללב.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;הרגישו את פעימות הלב שלכם ודמיינו אותו שואב את הדם ומזרים אותו חזרה אל כל חלקי הגוף. המשיכו כך עד שאתם מוכנים להתחיל במדיטציה.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;3.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;מיינו את המחשבות.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;מקדו את תשומת הלב שלכם במחשבות שמקשות עליכם. אילו מחשבות נוכחות כרגע במוחכם? האם יש רבות כאלה המתרוצצות בראשכם או שמדובר באחת המעיקה עליכם בכל פעם? נסו לחשוב על הבעיות האלה בצורה רציונלית במקום להגיב אליהן רגשית.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;4. אל תנסו לעצור את המחשבות.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;בניגוד לתפיסה השגויה הרווחת, בעת מדיטציה לא &quot;מרוקנים&quot; את המוח ממחשבות. מחשבות אינן האויב ואם תנסו להיאבק בהן - רק תחזקו את כוחן.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;6. אל תשפטו את המחשבות.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;הן אינן &quot;טובות&quot; או &quot;רעות&quot;, כיוון שכל מה שעובר במוחכם שווה ערך באותה מידה. אם תתייחסו אליהן בסקרנות ובסלחנות, יהיה קל יותר להתמודד עמן.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;7. החזירו את המחשבות למסלול.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;בכל פעם שהמחשבות שלכם נודדות למחוזות שליליים, הכירו בכך ומקדו שוב את תשומת הלב בהתבוננות.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: Arial, &#39;Arial (Hebrew)&#39;, &#39;David (Hebrew)&#39;, &#39;Courier New (Hebrew)&#39;; font-size: 12px; text-align: -webkit-right;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;dbIframeDiv&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;he&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;8. תרגלו זאת במשך כמה דקות.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;כאמור, התחילו בעשר דקות והעלו את משך הזמן בהדרגה. ייתכן שתחושו מסוחררים בתחילה, משום שמוחכם יפסיק להתרוצץ במעגלים, אך זה יעבור. ייתכן אף שתזהו יותר מחשבות מהרגיל בזמן תרגול המדיטציה, אך למעשה רק אתם אלה שהפכו מודעים יותר. ככל שתתאמנו, כך תוכלו להתמודד בקלות רבה יותר עם דאגות ופחות להיתפס לפאניקה.&lt;/div&gt;

הסקר, אשר כיסה 250 אלף חברות מסביב לעולם, דירג את גוגל במקום הראשון: 86% מהעובדים ציינו כי הם חושבים כי מצב החברה עומד להשתפר, ו-0% אמרו כי מצב החברה עומד להיות רע יותר. עובדי גוגל כזכור גם הביעו לאחרונה שביעות רצון גבוהה במיוחד מתנאי העבודה בחברה, ומ&lt;a class=&quot;bluelink&quot; href=&quot;http://www.calcalist.co.il/internet/articles/0,7340,L-3598069,00.html&quot; style=&quot;color: #043d89; font-family: Arial, &amp;quot;Arial (Hebrew)&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;David (Hebrew)&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Courier New (Hebrew)&amp;quot;;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;לארי פייג&#39;&lt;/a&gt;, מנכ&quot;ל החברה.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: yellow;&quot;&gt;כל חמש החברות המובילות בסקר אופטימיות העובדים הן כולן חברות טכנולוגיה.&lt;/span&gt; במקום השני נמצאת קוואלקום עם 76% מהעובדים החושבים שמצב החברה עומד להשתפר, ובמקום הרביעי והחמישי ניתן למצוא את SAP ואמזון, בהתאמה, עם 73% ו-69%.&lt;/div&gt;

המקום השלישי מפתיע במיוחד - יאהו, עם 75%, שככל הנראה עובדיה אופטימיים מאוד לגבי סגנון הניהול של מאריסה מאייר. הסקר עצמו נערך באפריל האחרון, וככל הנראה אם היה נערך עכשיו, על רקע השמועות כי יאהו עומדת לקנות את&amp;nbsp;&lt;a class=&quot;bluelink&quot; href=&quot;http://www.calcalist.co.il/internet/articles/0,7340,L-3602641,00.html&quot; style=&quot;color: #043d89; font-family: Arial, &amp;quot;Arial (Hebrew)&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;David (Hebrew)&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Courier New (Hebrew)&amp;quot;;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;טאמבלר&lt;/a&gt;, הוא רק היה משתפר.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-size: 14px; text-align: right;&quot;&gt;
בסך הכל, נמצא יחס אופטימי מצד העובדים של רק שליש מכל החברות בעולם. אפל לא נכנסה לרשימת עשרת החברות המובילות, ורק 59% מעובדיה אופטימיים. יצרנית הטלקום הסיני האוואי עומדת על 55%, ופחות מחצי מהעובדים אופטימיים בחברות טכנולוג כגון אורקל, IBM, מיקרוסופט, ו-HP.&lt;/div&gt;

פעמים שבהן אנו שואלים את עצמנו למה אדם בוחר להישאר עם הורה נורא, או בן זוג
אנוכי, או ילד מתעלל, או מעביד נצלן. עם שאלה דומה התמודדו פרשני סיפור יציאת

הפוסט-מודרני הרחיב את מושג הטיפול לגישות רבות של טיפול רפואי, נפשי ואלטרנטיבי.

שהסיבה שכל הטיפולים קצת עובדים, היא כי בכולם נותנים לנו דבר שאנו זקוקים לו
נואשות, אבל אסור לנו להגיד: אנחנו רוצים לחזור להיות קטנים. גיבורי המקרא הכירו
בתלותם הגמורה בזה שמעליהם. הם היו מחוברים היטב לחלקיהם הינקותיים. הם האמינו
שאנו זקוקים לטיפול לפחות פעמיים ביום. בכל פעם שהחיים הקשו עליהם, הם פנו למטפל

that are interesting in specific areas where at the time had no information
available in Israel. I remember sending out land mail to the US and receiving
physical copies from individuals. I have said on many occasions that the
internet was invented for people like me that had an endless desire for
information and so little to be found with a click of a button.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;The
internet revolution was and is truly amazing and it comes today as no surprise
that the internet is the crucial technology of our time to distribute information.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;So what is
the next evolution of the internet? How will the internet look in the years to
come?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;This
article is one of several which will make an attempt to predict the evolvement
of the future internet technology and its impact on our lives in the future.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;The
internet is a textual system that allows indexing and later searches of text in
almost any content type. This led to the formation of search companies such as
Google which allow access to almost any type of material with a click of a
button.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;The amount
of information is growing at an ever increasing speed and companies that are
developing ways to cluster information have to constantly adapt to the huge
amounts of information that is out there.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;If we look
at the current way we are used to view information it comes down to the
keyboard and mouse, lately some new touch screens which allow us to type into
the console and later the data is retrieved. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;The aspect
I would like to touch in this article is the communication aspect. The internet
has generated Social Networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+ and many
others that allow surfers to connect together.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;Predictions:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 18.0pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;&quot;&gt;

change dramatically the way we communicate over the web. Each one of us will
have his own Avatar (Avatar – is the word which describes &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;&quot;&gt;your electronic image that represents and is
manipulated by a computer user as in a computer game)&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

and I would like to touch several aspects depicting the influence of having an
Avatar in a virtual world environment:&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 54.0pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;a.&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 7pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;span dir=&quot;LTR&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;Having an
Avatar at work – all the business meetings with non-local (and later local) representatives
will be done via your Avatar. This will create an identity between the
different business partners and allow generation of quick rapport.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 54.0pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;b.&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 7pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;span dir=&quot;LTR&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;An avatar at
work will also allow generation of completely new jobs and actual physical
location will not be a must in many types of occupations. Since the physical
location of an employee will not be of importance the employee market will
change dramatically and an open global employees market will emerge.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 54.0pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;c.&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 7pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;span dir=&quot;LTR&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;An avatar in
Social Networks will allow generation of greater rapport between individuals
and will also allow choosing different Avatar for different environments. For
example: in the Business aspects one could choose an Avatar that is always
dressed elegantly and in the Social domain the clothing, age, sex could be
altered. Since the physical properties can be modified in the virtual world
creation of new jobs in this domain which will assist people in maintaining
various Avatars will be provided.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 54.0pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;d.&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 7pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;span dir=&quot;LTR&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;Healthcare – Doctors
could also have Avatars and since basic monitoring of the body could be done
either at home and in central locations the actual meetings with physicians
could be done in professional domains and people could choose physicians
worldwide in light of the fact location will not be an issue.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 54.0pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;e.&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 7pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;span dir=&quot;LTR&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;Schools and
Universities – The first to be influenced by this new revolution will be the Universities.
Students could choose learning in any place in the world and having an Avatar
would be a must in order to join classes in the Virtual University space with
Avatar teachers. This will increase the communications between students located
worldwide and Universities as we know them will disappear. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 54.0pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;&quot;&gt;

materials – Since having an Avatar in the virtual world creates a more
realistic way to communicate the way we search the internet mainly via text
will change to speech. In addition technologies which will help in passing of movement
in more natural way to the virtual world will be developed and people will be
able to work full time in the virtual world.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 54.0pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;&quot;&gt;

on the phone will not take place and all communication will be via Avatars.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpLast&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 54.0pt; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level2 lfo1; text-indent: -18.0pt;&quot;&gt;
&lt;!--[if !supportLists]--&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;h.&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 7pt;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;!--[endif]--&gt;&lt;span dir=&quot;LTR&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;Transportation
and Cities – Since most of the professional life will take place in the virtual
domain the cost of travel will dramatically change and the whole concept of
cities will soon change. Living in cities which brought people together mainly
in order to find work will not be a must and people could live were they
desire.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span lang=&quot;EN-US&quot;&gt;I have
touch a lot of topics, each of which could be elaborated much more and my next
article on the subject will shed light on different aspects of this global
shift.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

שקשה מאוד לבן אנוש, הממוסך מהליבה המרכזית, להבין במלוא המשמעות. למעשה המושג
עצמו מתרחב גם כן ככל שאנחנו נחשפים יותר לאור ישיר.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

הסרט &quot;גברים בשחור 3&quot; שבה קיימת דמות המסוגלת לראות רוחב יריעה רחב
מאוד. קטע זה לדעתי שופך אור על המשמעות של המושג &quot;רוחב היריעה&quot; בצורה
שמאפשרת פרימה וויזואלית נוספת.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;By&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/author/Dacher_Keltner&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #339999; cursor: pointer; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Dacher Keltner&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;| February 7, 2007&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;&quot;&gt;
My work as a psychologist—and my life as a father—has led me to believe that a simple fraction can tell us whether or not we&#39;re truly happy. Put aside your justified suspicions for a moment and consider the following ratio–we&#39;ll call it the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=&quot;margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;jen&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;ratio, in honor of the Confucian concept&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=&quot;margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;jen&lt;/em&gt;, which refers to a multilayered mixture of humanity, benevolence, and kindness not well captured by any word or phrase in the English language. A person of&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=&quot;margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;jen&lt;/em&gt;, Confucius observes, &quot;wishing to establish his own character, also establishes the character of others,&quot; and &quot;brings the good things of others to completion and does not bring the bad things of others to completion.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: orange;&quot;&gt;In the denominator of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=&quot;margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;jen&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;ratio place recent actions in which someone has behaved in selfish&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;, malevolent fashion, bringing the bad in others to completion — the aggressive driver who flips you off as he roars in front of you, pealing away; the disdainful diner in a pricey restaurant who sneers at less well heeled passersby. Above this&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: orange;&quot;&gt;, in the numerator of the ratio, list recent benevolent acts of others, which brought the good in others to completion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt; – a kind hand on your back in a crowded subway car; the woman who laughs melodiously as a stranger accidentally steps on her foot.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: yellow;&quot;&gt; The greater the value of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=&quot;margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;jen&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;ratio, the more humane your world&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: lime;&quot;&gt; The smaller the number becomes, the clearer it is that you are living in a Hobbesian, dog-eat-dog world, bloody in tooth and claw.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;&quot;&gt;
Let&#39;s take the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=&quot;margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;jen&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;ratio for a test drive. An after school moment at my daughters&#39; playground yields the following: In the numerator, two boys laugh, giving each other noogies on the head; girls do handstands and cartwheels, giggling at their butt-thumping mistakes; on a grassy field, laughing kids dog pile on a young boy deliriously clasping the football to his chest. In the denominator, a boy calls a smaller boy baboon breath, in measured, low tones; two girls whisper, heads askance, about another girl who tries to enter into their game of unicorn. This minute of playground life yields a&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=&quot;margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;jen&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;ratio of 3/2, or 1.5. A pretty good scene.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;&quot;&gt;
Let&#39;s compare that with… in an interminable, eight minute line to buy stamps. I see 24 varieties of exasperation, from sighs to glares to threatening groans of the bureaucratically imprisoned, and one guy laugh 3 times. 3/24 = .125. Not such an uplifting time. And then how about two minutes of a video game? That&#39;s easy: 38 heads explode/0; it&#39;s infinitely malevolent.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: yellow;&quot;&gt;One can apply the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=&quot;margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;jen&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;ratio to any realm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt; — our interior life, the esprit of a family in a photograph, the face of a loved one at a poignant moment in time, the tenor of a dinner party or family reunion, the ebbs and flows of intimacy in the life long relations of two sisters, the rhetoric of presidents, the spirit of historical eras, the good will of a neighborhood, more satisfying and more trying periods of a marriage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;Of course, a high&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;jen&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;ratio does not define what is right or good. Sitcoms, cheerleaders, servers at fastfood restaurants, and beauty pageant contestants, on the surface, yield higher&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;jen&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;ratios than any page of Dostoevsky, most paintings of Van Gogh, and the films of Scorscese. Think of the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;jen&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;ratio as a snapshot, though, of the state of your life as you perceive it, and as it truly is.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

We have come to a point in time where in the name of justice we will print out such articles without even taking the time to consider what are the implications.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

says Janice Kiecolt-Glaser, PhD, of The Ohio State University, who along with her husband Ronald Glaser, PhD, is one of the field&#39;s pioneers. &quot;There&#39;s much more acceptance among basic scientists and clinicians that the links between stress, the immune system and disease really do mean something.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial;

Today&#39;s investigators are increasingly sophisticated and specific in their work. They&#39;re examining how psychosocial factors such as optimism and social support moderate stress responses; they&#39;re mapping the biological and cellular mechanisms by which stress affects the immune system; and they&#39;re testing new theories, such as the idea that the immune system acts as a &quot;sixth sense&quot; that gives the brain valuable information about a person&#39;s health status.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;And the field is becoming truly interdisciplinary, as basic scientists join forces with more socially oriented researchers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&quot;PNI is no longer this little area off by itself,&quot; comments University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) researcher Shelley E. Taylor, PhD, who is widely known for her optimism research and a new theory of the female stress response. &quot;It&#39;s become a big area, and lots of people are working in the field who at one time in their careers might never have gone near it.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;While researchers still have further to go to show definitive links between PNI variables and disease and to devise targeted interventions based on these findings (see articles on the following pages), they have turned up promising discoveries on the mind-body connection and its potential to fight AIDS, cancer and the common cold.

These cytokines, research is finding, travel to the central nervous system and brain to communicate information about the body&#39;s distress. In turn, the brain releases its own cytokines that signal the central nervous system to initiate a cascade of responses such as fever and listlessness that, theorists believe, help the body adapt by reducing energy output. (PNI researchers are, in fact, increasingly interested in cytokine activity because it represents an immune response that can go awry.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;The work also raises intriguing questions about the origins of psychological and cognitive states such as depression and memory dysfunction. Researchers posit that these states may have arisen as part of the sickness response to conserve energy during times of infection.

The California team posits instead that there are two stress reactions: the classic &quot;fight-or-flight&quot; response and a withdrawing reaction where a person pulls back to conserve energy, says Kemeny, who directs UCSF&#39;s health psychology and behavioral neuroscience program. These reactions have been noted in animals and Kemeny&#39;s team is now extending them to humans.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;She and colleagues have been examining a cognitive angle to this theory as well. They&#39;re finding that people respond to the same stressful event in different physiological ways depending on how they appraise it. Take the example of a loved one&#39;s death. Depending on how they perceive the loss--as sad but normative or as a major threat--they will either withdraw or become agitated, explains Kemeny. &quot;The body is responding to what&#39;s going on in the brain, not to what&#39;s going on in the environment,&quot; she explains.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;The researchers also have been investigating which types of cognitive appraisals most affect people&#39;s health. In a study conducted on HIV-positive men before the advent of protease inhibitors, Geoffrey M. Reed, PhD, and colleagues including Kemeny and UCLA&#39;s Taylor found that asymptomatic &lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;background-color: yellow;&quot;&gt;HIV-positive men who held negative though realistic beliefs about their disease progression, and who had lost a close friend or partner to AIDS within the last year, developed AIDS symptoms more quickly than HIV-positive men with a more optimistic outlook on their prognosis or men who had not been bereaved&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;In addition, Kemeny is &lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;background-color: yellow;&quot;&gt;finding that negative self-appraisal--blaming one&#39;s self for negative events--is linked to poorer health outcomes,&lt;/span&gt; such as faster rates of CD4 T-cell decline in patients with HIV. These findings are discussed in a summary article by Taylor, Kemeny, Reed and colleagues in the&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;American Psychologist&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;(Vol. 55, No. 1).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;The findings are pioneering in two ways, notes Reed, now the APA Practice Directorate&#39;s assistant executive director for professional development. For one, they &lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;background-color: yellow;&quot;&gt;imply that cognition itself may play a role in health outcomes&lt;/span&gt;, challenging the traditional view that emotions mediate between psychological factors and immunity. &quot;We&#39;re suggesting that there may be something about cognitive processes that has a direct effect on the immune system,&quot; he says.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;They also call into question a view commonly touted by mental health practitioners: that a &lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;background-color: yellow;&quot;&gt;realistic acceptance of one&#39;s situation is synonymous with mental health&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&quot;Our data show that people who have a life-threatening illness can say these unrealistic, positive things about their future and still behaviorally do things to take care of their health,&quot; Reed says. &lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;background-color: lime;&quot;&gt;&quot;Being overly optimistic may actually be healthy.&quot;&lt;/span&gt; Future research could test some of these findings in interventions, he suggests.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 3px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Personality variables in HIV progression&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;UCLA&#39;s Steve Cole, PhD, is using the same data set as the UCSF and UCLA researchers to study personality factors in disease progression. In particular, he&#39;s examining why some gay men may hide their sexual orientation in the tolerant city of Los Angeles, and why those same men who have HIV might become ill more quickly than HIV-positive peers who are out of the closet.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Studies by Cole, Kemeny, Taylor and others show that the men who stay closeted share characteristics of the nervous system that render them especially sensitive to social rejection. And the physiological correlates of this introverted personality type--in particular a greater tendency to go into &quot;fight-or-flight&quot; mode when facing stress--may make them more vulnerable to attack by HIV, Cole contends.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Cole has supported his theories through studies on the men&#39;s stress hormones, immune-cell functioning and psychological characteristics. He&#39;s also thinking about interventions that might help reduce these men&#39;s automatic stress responses. Scientists know, for example, that enhancing brain levels of serotonin can mitigate people&#39;s tendencies toward shyness. So, one intervention, Cole speculates, is medications that increase serotonin activity; another is stress-reducing behavioral interventions like meditation or biofeedback.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 3px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Tend and befriend&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;In still another theory that challenges old views of stress, UCLA&#39;s Taylor has proposed a model of the female stress response that she calls &quot;tend and befriend,&quot; in contrast to the &quot;fight-or-flight&quot; model. Taylor has found that in response to stress, females tend to engage in nurturing activities that protect themselves and their offspring. She believes these patterns have hormonal underpinnings, and she&#39;s particularly interested in the role of a pituitary hormone, oxytocin. While the hormone is found both in males and females, it&#39;s strongly linked to maternal behavior in females, and may foster the tend-and-befriend pattern. For example, oxytocin&#39;s calming effects are enhanced by estrogen, but antagonized by androgen, she notes. Taylor first delineated her theory in&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Psychological Review&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;(Vol. 107, No. 3) that&#39;s since been updated in a book by Taylor released this March, &quot;The Tending Response&quot; (Holt).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Now she is exploring the links between estrogen and oxytocin by looking at postmenopausal women on estrogen-replacement therapy compared with those who are not.

The new study suggests that a well-rounded social life may bear a cost, too: &lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;background-color: yellow;&quot;&gt;Well-connected people who reported a lot of stress became sick more often than anyone else&lt;/span&gt;, the study finds. In keeping with Cohen&#39;s earlier results, however, nonstressed people with diverse networks got sick less often than their less-connected counterparts who didn&#39;t report stress. The findings support the hypothesis that people with more diverse social networks may be more vulnerable to illness than others when under stress because they&#39;re exposed to a wider range of pathogens.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial;

As compared with older women with moderate or minimal life stress, this finding suggests there may be a &quot;dose-response&quot; effect of life stress to immune decline among the elderly above and beyond that of normal aging.

She used a measure called &quot;sense of coherence,&quot; which assesses people&#39;s ability to find meaning in their lives and in stressful events.

For instance, a recent meta-analysis of 85 psychological interventions found that more successful interventions included classical conditioning procedures drawn from animal models, hypnosis and interventions such as those advocated by Pennebaker that encourage people to write about distressing experiences. The study, by Gregory Miller, PhD, of Washington University and Cohen of Carnegie Mellon, is reported in&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Health Psychology&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;(Vol. 20, No. 1).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;To the authors&#39; surprise, however, stress-management interventions--usually group-therapy sessions that teach patients about their illness and how to manage their stress--showed weaker effects than other interventions examined in the meta-analysis, Miller says. Two exceptions are a series of studies on HIV infection by Michael Antoni, PhD, and Neil Schneiderman, PhD, of the University of Miami, and a study of melanoma patients by Fawzy Fawzy, MD, and Kemeny, both of UCLA. Both trials showed positive changes in immune responses--and in Fawzy&#39;s study, longevity--following the interventions, perhaps because the authors designed them for specific stages in the patients&#39; illnesses, Miller speculates.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;APA&#39;s Reed emphasizes, however, that stress-management interventions can show health benefits besides immune changes. A recent study by Duke University psychologist James Blumenthal, PhD, underscores the point: &lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;background-color: lime;&quot;&gt;Male heart patients who participated in a stress-management intervention had fewer cardiac events over a five-year follow up than those in an exercise or a standard-care intervention&lt;/span&gt; (see the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.apa.org/monitor/mar02/stressmgt.aspx&quot; style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #3366cc; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;&quot; target=&quot;&quot;&gt;March&amp;nbsp;&lt;em style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Monitor&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&quot;While stress-management interventions may not be associated as strongly with immunological changes as other kinds of interventions, it doesn&#39;t mean those interventions wouldn&#39;t be effective in other ways for other populations,&quot; Reed says.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Miller notes that the main strength of his and Cohen&#39;s meta-analysis lies in suggesting specific intervention characteristics worthy of future examination.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; clear: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&quot;Naively, we all expected in the beginning that any intervention we threw at people would influence the immune system,&quot; he says. &quot;It&#39;s turning out to be more subtle than that, but we seem to be finding the way.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 17px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Some of the greatest hopes in the field of psychoneuroimmunology have been in breast cancer treatment. The recent replication of a key study dimmed some of those hopes when it found that a group therapy intervention made no difference in the survival rates of women with metastatic breast cancer compared to controls, as first found in 1989 by Stanford University&#39;s David Spiegel, MD.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;But the news isn&#39;t all discouraging: The replication study did find that women who engaged in group therapy experienced quality-of-life benefits, including reduced pain and improved psychological symptoms, especially among women who were distressed to begin with.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&quot;We were able to confirm clear evidence of psychological benefits in terms of mood and pain control, and those benefits were greatest in women who had psychological distress or poorly controlled pain at the time they entered the study,&quot; says Pamela Goodwin, MD, a medical oncologist at the University of Toronto&#39;s Mount Sinai Hospital who led the team that sought to replicate Spiegel&#39;s findings.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Goodwin&#39;s study is not, of course, the last word, say psychologists and others who are continuing to explore mind-body links in cancer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Psychologists also emphasize that the medical community should not assume from one study that group therapy doesn&#39;t help prolong life and, moreover, should look beyond length of life and consider therapy&#39;s contributions to quality of life.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&quot;It would be really unfortunate if the survival test is the only one people use when judging the value of these groups,&quot; says Geoffrey M. Reed, PhD, the APA Practice Directorate&#39;s assistant executive director for professional development. &quot;While Goodwin very clearly articulates that psychotherapy groups have benefits other than survival, we do have some concern that her findings will be interpreted by health systems or hospitals as suggesting that psychotherapy is of negligible value for breast cancer patients.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The Spiegel and Goodwin studies&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The study by Spiegel and colleagues was published in the Oct. 14, 1989, issue of The Lancet (Vol. 2, No. 8668). It found that women with metastatic breast cancer who received a year of intensive supportive-expressive group therapy lived 18 months longer on average from study entry than controls. The findings raised the hopes of many that mind-body interventions could make a significant difference in the health outcomes of very ill patients.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;But the results also have been criticized for being potentially misleading and building false hope among patients. Goodwin&#39;s study, published in the Dec. 13, 2001, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine (Vol. 345, No. 12), studied 158 women with metastatic breast cancer who received the type of therapy Spiegel administered in his study, compared with 77 controls who didn&#39;t get the treatment. Although the Goodwin study found quality-of-life benefits, &quot;to our disappointment, we were not able to confirm a survival benefit; there wasn&#39;t even a trend toward it,&quot; she says.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Spiegel notes that Goodwin&#39;s findings shouldn&#39;t stop people from using empirically validated treatments with obvious benefits for participants. &quot;It&#39;s clear by now that this kind of psychotherapy helps cancer patients,&quot; Spiegel says. &quot;How it helps them is a matter of legitimate disagreement. That it helps them is not.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;And, says cancer-intervention researcher Barbara Andersen, PhD, of The Ohio State University, the Goodwin study &quot;is just one study, just as Spiegel&#39;s was. One of two discrepant findings can&#39;t invalidate the other. What Goodwin&#39;s finding suggests is the need for additional tests.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Indeed, psychologists emphasize that replication efforts such as Goodwin&#39;s are crucial because aspects of the 1989 study had methodological problems. For one, Spiegel&#39;s original sample may have been unintentionally biased, notes James L. Spira, PhD, who heads the division of health psychology at the Naval Medical Center in San Diego. Psychologist Bernard Fox, PhD, for example, argued in Psycho-oncology (Vol. 7, No. 5) that Spiegel&#39;s control group died at a faster rate than the normal population of recurrent breast cancer patients, while the treatment group lived as long as would be expected in a general population of these patients. In addition, notes Spira, Goodwin&#39;s study has a large sample size of 235 women, compared with Spiegel&#39;s of 86.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Medical advances in breast cancer treatment may also help explain the discrepancy between Spiegel&#39;s and Goodwin&#39;s findings, speculates Gregory Miller, PhD, of Washington University. &quot;Many breast cancer patients will survive because of these outstanding medical advances, so there isn&#39;t as much room for a psychological intervention to make a difference,&quot; Miller points out.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;And, he adds, the culture of social support has changed dramatically since Spiegel&#39;s original study. &quot;Breast cancer was much more stigmatized when David conducted his seminal study,&quot; Miller says. &quot;His intervention provided an incredible outlet for women who didn&#39;t have anywhere else to go to discuss this very stigmatized condition. Today, however, people are finding their own sources of support and they don&#39;t necessarily need to go to a group to get it.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Psychologists and Spiegel himself concede that he took on a tall order by trying to show survival effects in such an ill population. &quot;Obviously, metastatic cancer is a very powerful biological process,&quot; says APA&#39;s Reed. &quot;In some ways, it was the 1989 finding by Spiegel and his colleagues that was surprising: that a psychological intervention could affect survival outcomes in this patient group.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Like other earlier studies in this area, Spiegel set out to look only at psychosocial variables. Only later did he conduct analyses of disease outcomes, notes Andersen. &quot;It&#39;s only in the last five years that studies have been designed to look directly at survival outcomes,&quot; she says.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;New intervention trends&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Although research shows that group therapy can enhance patients&#39; quality of life, the psychological community is concerned about how the new data will be used. Indeed, psychologists have seen the medical establishment ignore quality-of-life findings before.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&quot;Twenty years of research documents that psychosocial interventions impact a wide range of quality-of-life variables, including ability to sleep, fatigue reduction, improved mood, increased vitality, pain reduction and more general functional capacities like one&#39;s ability to exercise,&quot; says Spira. &quot;Unfortunately, this news has been known for a while and it won&#39;t make the front pages unless there&#39;s a physical-health outcome benefit.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Meanwhile, a trend emerging in cancer-intervention research is replacing the focus on survival rates: testing which interventions work best with what populations.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;It&#39;s an important line of inquiry because research shows that shotgun approaches are spotty at best, observes Margaret Kemeny, PhD, director of the health psychology and behavioral neuroscience program at the University of California at San Francisco.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&quot;What we tend to do now is to take these psychological techniques used in psychotherapy--like the supportive-expressive technique that David Spiegel uses, or cognitive-behavioral techniques--and use them in all contexts with all patients,&quot; Kemeny says. &quot;What might be more valuable is to characterize the people we&#39;re putting in interventions, select people with a particular psychological state or vulnerability that might warrant some kind of intervention, then target the intervention to them.&quot;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Research is pointing to who some of these patients might be, adds Andersen, who is conducting a long-term psychological intervention study of 240 women with Stage-II and Stage-III breast cancer. Research in the area, she explains, is confounded by the fact that many people&#39;s stress levels plummet from time of diagnosis on, regardless of whether they&#39;ve entered an intervention or not. &quot;You have these big, whopping time effects, and oftentimes they wipe out the intervention effects,&quot; she notes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Yet studies consistently find that if you split the sample of treated patients into groups that initially experienced high versus low distress, &quot;lo and behold, there are all of these [positive] changes in the high-distressed groups,&quot; says Andersen, whose review of research on outcomes in cancer patients following psychological treatment will appear in this month&#39;s issue of the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology (see sidebar, on previous page). Hence, she notes, clinical researchers may want to start thinking about targeting interventions toward these more distressed women.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;A group-therapy treatment manual to be published this fall by APA, &quot;Group Psychotherapy for Women with Breast Cancer: A Treatment Manual,&quot; by Spira and Reed, addresses some of these distinctions. For instance, the manual provides different protocols for working with first-occurrence and recurrent breast cancer patients, since research shows that these two groups benefit from different types of interventions.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;A companion volume to the manual, &quot;The Breast Cancer Notebook: The Healing Power of Reflection,&quot; likewise taps into recent research findings, in particular that writing about trauma can be good for your health. Written by Ava Stanton, a licensed clinical social worker in Santa Monica, Calif., and Reed, the book is designed to help women with breast cancer understand and take charge of their own experience.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Other promising avenues for intervention include studying the psychoneuroimmunology of cancer and testing interventions based on those findings (see A bright future for PNI) and examining the benefits of other forms of psychosocial and alternative therapies in addition to group therapy. Few studies, for example, look at the potential benefits of individual therapy for cancer patients or at alternative techniques such as acupuncture, meditation or yoga, says Spira.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;As researchers examine which interventions are most helpful to breast cancer patients, there&#39;s a group of people they should keep in mind: the patients themselves, emphasizes Reed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;background-color: yellow;&quot;&gt;&quot;We have to be careful about concluding a lack of benefit from any intervention without asking participants what the intervention meant to them,&quot; he says. &quot;Typically, participants in these groups describe them as being terribly important in terms of finding meaning, connecting with others and expressing their deepest fears in a way that helps them feel they can control these feelings. These are important experiences, even if they&#39;re not well-reflected in standardized outcomes scales.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Tori DeAngelis is a writer in Syracuse, N.Y.&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consciousness-development.blogspot.com/feeds/5381463169391553805/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://consciousness-development.blogspot.com/2010/03/how-do-mind-body-interventions-affect.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2851839991762798303/posts/default/5381463169391553805'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2851839991762798303/posts/default/5381463169391553805'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consciousness-development.blogspot.com/2010/03/how-do-mind-body-interventions-affect.html' title='How do mind-body interventions affect breast cancer?'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05538722235481979828</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851839991762798303.post-4704463520964988668</id><published>2010-03-03T21:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-03T21:26:17.014-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Quote"/><title type='text'>The World</title><content type='html'>“In times of change learners inherit the earth, while&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div dir=&quot;rtl&quot; style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: &#39;Trebuchet MS&#39;, &#39;Lucida Grande&#39;, verdana, georgia, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 28px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Hypnosis is the only known cure for the congenital problem of fishskin disease. There is no medical solution for this disease. So if hypnosis can lead to even a partial healing it must be a very powerful process. Many practitioners of hypnosis now believe that hypnosis allows a special access to bodily change processes that is not normally possible.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Let&#39;s look at the fishskin study. In a 1952 issue of the Lancet , the British medical journal, Dr. Mason described his treatment of a young patient who seemed at first to be a very bad case of warts (Mason, A. A. (August 23rd, 1952). About 90% of the patient&#39;s body (except his chest, neck and face) was covered with an unsightly, lumpy, raised growth. The skin felt as tough as a fingernail and tended to crack with normal movement, leading to the constant presence of oozing blood stained serum. As a result, there was very unpleasant smell around the young man. You can imagine how uncomfortable his life was, since normal movement was severely limited because of the inflexibility of his tough skin. He didn&#39;t look very good either.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Mason was introduced to the patient when he was helping out with a skin graft operation that was not going very well. He thought he was looking at a case of warts and he knew that hypnosis could often be an effective treatment for warts. So he commented to the surgeon that hypnosis might be the thing to try. The surgeon gave him a funny look but said o.k., why don&#39;t you try it. At the first treatment session in the hospital ward, Mason asked the boy to relax, and then suggested that the left arm would clear and return to normal in a few days time. He touched the parts of young man&#39;s shoulder to show where this would happen. When he returned to see the patient again 5 days later, the thick horny skin had just flaked off. The pink flesh now visible looked normal.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;With further treatment, eventually most of the skin became soft and normal again. The treatment effect was about what Mason had expected. However, when he showed the initial result to the surgeon, his jaw dropped and he told Mason to go off to the library to read up on the disease called Icthyosiform Erythrodermia of Brocq. This is a congenital disease. Patients with this problem lack oil-producing glands in the skin, so that instead of sloughing off from time to time, layers of skin build up one on top of the other, creating the symptoms that Mason had treated. The surgeon was so impressed with the hypnotic treatment he arranged for himself and Mason to give a talk about the case at the highly respected Royal Society.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Mason later pointed out that had he realised exactly what he had been dealing with, a congenital skin disease, he would never have tried hypnosis, because it seems so unlikely that the mind could cure a genetic physical problem for which medicine had no solution. In a later interview he said it was as likely that hypnosis could do anything for this condition as that it could cure a club foot.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;There have been several other cases described in the Lancet since Mason&#39;s original study. Not all have had the same degree of success, but where healing was more limited there was often evidence of a psychological barrier to explain the lack of effect. Even so, since there is no medical treatment for the condition, all of these studies stand as strong testimony to the potential power of psychological factors in bodily healing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;One of the really fascinating aspects of these cases is that the patients did not have to understand how the healing effect could be achieved for healing to occur. Mason&#39;s case was a young man of 16 years, who had never heard of fishskin disease. Even more fascinating, Mason didn&#39;t know what the disease was either at the beginning. He thought he was treating the young man for a terrible case of warts.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;In my opinion the most likely factor leading to improvement in such cases is the use of the imagination. The patient&#39;s imagining of body healing. But whatever the explanation, it is pretty clear that if healing change is possible in cases of congenital health problems, there would seem to be almost no limit on what might be achieved.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;While treatment for fishskin disease is one of the most spectacular successes reported for hypnosis, there seem to be many other possibilities for self healing and change opened up through the use of hypnosis. For instance, reducing the damage from serious burns, removal of warts, modification or elimination of allergy responses, breast enlargement, or the elimination of profound levels of acute and chronic pain.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://consciousness-development.blogspot.com/feeds/8695695882625597904/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://consciousness-development.blogspot.com/2010/03/curing-incurable.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2851839991762798303/posts/default/8695695882625597904'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2851839991762798303/posts/default/8695695882625597904'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://consciousness-development.blogspot.com/2010/03/curing-incurable.html' title='Curing the Incurable'/><author><name>Anonymous</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05538722235481979828</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2851839991762798303.post-5600437024965198294</id><published>2010-02-28T04:46:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-28T04:49:48.765-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Story"/><title type='text'>YouTube  - An Inspirational Story About Teddy Stoddard (Told by Dr Wayne Dyer)</title><content type='html'>&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;
