    How to be healthy: Summary of Dr. Jeffey Rediger's "Cured"

    Jeffrey Rediger, MD. Cured: Strengthen Your Immune System and Heal Your Life. Flatiron, 2020. You might also find my "Mysteries of Healing: Dialogues with Doctors and Scientists" useful and interesting. Healing: *Top influence is to change identity—see self in a new way, figure-ground shift, change your default mode network (DMN). It's loosely connected regions of the brain that light up together to form the neurobiological basis of self—who you are. How to change it? Change your routine, travel, meditate, yoga, education, new experience. P. 293 (Rediger doesn't mention it but different alters have very different medical issues in people with Dissasociative Identity Disorder.) *Use your mind to reduce stress: Strengthen the immune system by reacting positively to stress, e.g., ask what's the lesson or challenge? Chronic stress can alter the genes of the immune cells, flood the body with cortisol and other stress hormones. This can lead to chronic inflammation (the immune system in overdrive) which harms the immune system and can lead to disease. P. 126, 128. Depression also weakens the immune system. Up to 80% of visits to primary care doctors are related to stress. (You can test C-reactive protein as a marker for inflammation.) Calm the vegus nerve as with Herbert Benson's relaxation technique (drawing from Transcendental Mediation, relax you muscles, breathe slowly, while focusing n a mantra for ten to 20 minutes daily) and social connection. Avoid the epidemic of loneliness and enjoy small moments of loving connection that activate oxytocin anti-stress tonic. P. 193. The higher you heart rate variability (HRV—see HeartMath) the more engaged the vagus nerve and the more active the parasympathetic system (which calms and heals). P. 196 The vagus nerve connects the three brains—head, heart, and gut. The goal is to lengthen telomeres on chromosomes, which are linked to longevity. The faster they wear down, the faster we age. P. 160 Placebo works even when we know it's a sugar pill because we feel cared for. P. 251 Quantum physics' double-slit experiment shows that just observing changes a particle to a wave. (Love and prayer are powerful according to healer Dr. Nemeh in Ohio.) Our bodies ae energy, “frozen light,” as physicist David Bohm said. *For those with ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences--childhood traumas, abuse, neglect), clear them because they can rewrite your DNA to be more susceptible to disease, which can be passed on to your children. P. 274. (The ACE test is on https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2015/03/02/387007941/take-the-ace-quiz-and-learn-what-it-does-and-doesnt-mean) 90% of chronic illness is environmental not genetic (psychoneuroimmunology and epigenetics). P. 38. * Eat nutrient-rich natural foods and avoid processed foods and sugar as its sharp-edged crystals tear the walls of arteries and capillaries where plaque is more likely to build up in the repair sites, narrowing the blood vessels. Sugar also increases inflammation, but it's addictive because it stimulates dopamine. Avoid a lot of meat and emulsifiers (as in ice cream and mayonnaise)—the later disrupt the microbiome and triggers chronic inflammation. The health of the microbiome is related to cancer and other diseases. A single round of antibiotics can impact the gut bacteria for up to a year. P. 56 For every human cell in our bodies we have 100 bacterial cells. Professor Michael Pollan recommends eating mostly plants. *People with spontaneous remission were highly involved in yoga, Rolfing, diet, journaling, mental imaging, meditation, relaxation, intentional gratitude, or what ever worked for them. P. 338 Rediger's Recommended books IONS Spontaneous Remission: An Annotated Bibliography. 1993. 3,500 references in 800 journals. Kelly Turner. Radical Remission (2014), Lissa Rankin.

    On her June 15 radio show, Donna Seebo interviews Gayle Kimball about her book “A Global Dialogue on Masculinity: 33 Men Speak Out.' https://delphiinternational.com/ Reviewed by Vernita Naylor for Readers' Favorite Have you ever wanted to know what men thought about the impact of absentee fathers, feminists, equality, masculinity, and other issues? Let's be a fly on the wall and get some insight into these questions and so much more by reading A Global Dialogue on Masculinity: 33 Men Speak Out by Gayle Kimball. This book offers personal discussions, interviews, and candid opinions from men of various countries. Normally women are the spokespersons for male-female relationships but now let's hear what the men have to say on the subject. The author interviewed thirty-three men representing different generations, ethnic groups, and sexual orientations from countries including Canada, the United States, China, India, Germany, and Africa. These men are part of several organizations including fathers' rights groups, men's studies, and support groups, which gives the reader a wide net perspective on how men see the world along with their input on some of the biases that they've been charged with collectively. Reading A Global Dialogue on Masculinity by Gayle Kimball displayed the importance of a father's role. Whether negative or positive, the relationship that a father has with his child or children impacts and influences their future. The negative encounter carries on for generations unless something or someone changes it. This book not only asks some tough questions but is instrumental in giving men a voice so that solutions can be found to give our boys a fighting chance to become better men and fathers. Gayle does some heavy lifting in providing detailed information and resources about how we got here. She talks about women wanting bad boys, marrying up, college graduates, the prison system, traditions, gender roles, sexuality, and self-expression. As these topics are explored, it clearly shows within these interviews some of the challenges that men encounter. This platform allows men the ability to open up and express how they're really feeling. It's time to give our boys and men the space and support they need to heal. If you're looking for a book with a lot of resources along your journey to self-expression, either for yourself or the men in your life, add this one to your collection.

    The 30 couples' featured in "Happy Marriage" emphasized being able to compromise, overcome selfishness, never give up, and structure in couple time. Those with previous marriages felt they learned from them how to have a more satisfying relationship, often with the help of a counselor. Couples learned to stick to their own feelings rather than blame their partner and many learned from a therapist how to communicate more effectively and felt closer and developed trust after working through disagreements. Dr. David Feinstein and his wife Donna Eden think of themselves as opposites in many ways, who conflicted until they developed a technique to resolve their differences, explained in a chapter in Happy Marriages: 30 Global Couples Tell Their Stories. Therapists Hal and Sidra Stone reported in Partnering that, “Many times in our early years together we both feared our love was dead. It returned even more powerful than before because we had mastered a new experience.” They realized that love alone is not enough to make a marriage work because of the power of our unconscious sub-personalities. They emphasize that “There is nothing more important than realizing we are a group of selves (like an actual person) that regulates our lives. We have to learn who in us is interacting with our partner.”

    Promundo-US is a global leader in advancing gender equality and preventing violence by engaging men and boys in partnership with women, girls, and individuals of all gender identities. We believe that working with men and boys to transform harmful gender norms and unequal power dynamics is a critical part of the solution to achieving gender equality. For transformative, sustainable change, men and boys must see themselves as partners in the process. Men and boys also benefit when harmful norms are challenged. Our research, programs, and advocacy efforts show that exploring positive models of “what it means to be a man” and promoting healthy, respectful masculinity leads to improvements in the lives of women and girls, as well as in men's own lives, and the lives of individuals of all gender identities. 1.
