Before and After Cancer Treatment: Heal Faster, Better, Stronger (A Johns Hopkins Press Health Book)
by Julie K. SilverThe definitive guide for preparing for—and recovering from—cancer treatment.A twelve-year cancer survivor and oncology rehabilitation specialist, Dr. Julie K. Silver wrote After Cancer Treatment to help others recover from the exhaustion and physical devastation that often follow treatment. This new edition of the book, retitled Before and After Cancer Treatment, describes improved therapies, better delivery of care, holistic care options, and energetics. In covering the benefits of prehabilitation strategies, which improve physical and emotional strength before beginning therapy, the book adds another dimension to the experience of cancer treatment. Dr. Silver fills this survivor-oriented book with exercise and diet recommendations as well as step-by-step instructions for fighting fatigue, monitoring mood, and overcoming setbacks. Readers are encouraged to set balanced goals, take time to heal, and consult both conventional and alternative medicine. Most people will live for many years after their initial cancer diagnosis—often cured or in remission. Some will live with cancer as a chronic condition. The goal is always to live life to the fullest, which means feeling as strong as possible—physically and emotionally. Dr. Silver recommends daring to dream again and preparing for the future. Wherever they are in their own journey with cancer, readers will find here a personal, practical, and powerful guide to recovery.
Chronic Pain and the Family: A New Guide (The Harvard University Press Family Health Guides #1)
by Julie K. SilverChronic pain is the leading cause of disability in the United States, affecting as many as 48 million people in this country alone. It can demoralize and depress both patient and family, especially when there is no effective pain control and no hope for relief. Improperly managed, chronic pain can lead to substance abuse (usually painkillers) and to acute psychological and emotional distress. Pain begets stress and stress begets pain in a wretched downward spiral. Silver reviews the causes and characteristics of chronic pain and explores its impact on individual family relationships and on the extended family, covering such issues as employment, parenting, childbearing and inheritance, and emotional health. Silver treats aspects of chronic pain not covered in a typical office visit: how men and women differ in their experience of chronic pain, the effect of chronic pain on a toddler's behavior or an older child's performance in school, the risks of dependence on and addiction to pain medications, and practical ways for relatives beyond the immediate family circle to offer help and support to the person in pain.

Ábrete a lo inesperado (Outrageous Openness Spanish Edition): Deja que lo divino te guíe
by Tosha SilverNow available in Spanish. A collection of spiritual lessons, anecdotes, and thoughts on the Divine's intervention in our lives, Outrageous Openness teaches how to live purposefully and in line with what the Divine already has in store for each of us.We all have at our fingertips the touch of the Divine in our lives. Learning to trust in this Divine guidance brings peace as well as faith that everything happens for a reason. After twenty-five years spent giving nearly 30,000 consultations to people from all over the world, Tosha Silver realized that everyone had similar concerns: "How do I stop worrying? How can I know that things will work out? How can I feel safe?" and often, "Why do I feel so alone?" or "Who am I really?" Even individuals with years of spiritual practice often felt besieged by confusion, fear, or worry. Despite meditating, chanting, or practicing yoga, they didn't always have the practical tools for aligning with the Divine every day. Outrageous Openness provides just that: techniques to create a relaxed, trusting openness to answers as they spontaneously arise. Being open to the Divine's intervention has the power to change our lives, and Outrageous Openness teaches us how to trust in the Divine, a Force of Love that can help guide each of us in the most intimate and practical ways--if only we knew how to invite it in. At its heart, Outrageous Openness--a simple, delightful book of anecdotes, observations and fresh perspectives--opens the door to a profound truth. By allowing the Divine to lead the way, we can finally put down the heavy load of fervent hopes and fears and opinions about how things are supposed to be, just let them be, and delight in the spectacular show that is our life.

A Burst of Conscious Light: Near-Death Experiences, the Shroud of Turin, and the Limitless Potential of Humanity
by Dr. Andrew SilvermanProvides evidence that human consciousness can never be reproduced and exposes the perils of artificial intelligence • Explains how consciousness transcends the brain and body through quantum theory and accounts of consciousness in the clinically dead • Shares scientific evidence of how the image on the Shroud of Turin was produced and connects these findings to evidence concerning near-death experiences • Reveals how consciousness cannot be reproduced by a machine and how attempts to do so threaten what makes us human Stephen Hawking once said that the unanticipated consequences of artificial intelligence will be the greatest threat to humanity&’s survival. In this book, Dr. Andrew Silverman reveals why the powerful consciousness of the human mind could never be manufactured and so cannot be reproduced with technology. Integrating extensive scientific research from three seemingly unrelated fields of study--quantum mechanics, near-death experiences, and the Shroud of Turin--Silverman reveals the pitfalls and perils of artificial intelligence and addresses the fundamentally flawed thinking that underlies it. Drawing on his work as one of the leading experts on the Shroud of Turin as well as research by scientists from NASA and Los Alamos, he shows how the image on the Shroud could only have been produced by a flash of light as intense as a nuclear explosion--a burst of light that occurred after the body was in the tomb. Sharing medical evidence of consciousness in people declared clinically dead, the author shows how the light of consciousness evidenced by the Shroud is also a consistent feature of most near-death experiences. Exploring the non-local nature of consciousness--how it transcends the physical brain and body, Silverman explains why the human mind cannot be reduced to a computer and examines what separates sentient beings from machines. He shows how getting caught up in the push for artificial intelligence and the technological quest for immortality--through the attempt to &“download&” our minds onto computers--will only lead us to devalue and erase what makes us unique and irreplaceable in this cold, dark universe: our humanity.
