Medical book

This is it! To understand human brain

Dr. Amen has written a very readable, almost-500 pages long, book explaining his research and methodologies for helping ordinary people with brain related health issues. By training he is an MD with a specialty in psychiatry. However, he makes it very clear that, in most cases, historically psychiatrists have been prescribing medication often based on pure guess-work up till now. He has developed a novel approach to scanning a patient's brain to determine which particular areas appear to be receiving either too much input, or too little. Currently he has five clinics across America (Costa Mesa, Ca, Brisbane, Ca, Bellevue, Was, Reston, Va and Atlanta, GA). With over twenty years of using his approach to guide teams of medical doctors, psychiatrists and nutritionists they have thousands of brain scans illustrating almost all types of challenging brain-related issues. Dr. Amen has also collaborated with Faith groups, Rick Warren's Saddleback Church, to create The Daniel Plan to use Faith, Food, Fitness and Friends to help the world get healthier, in collaboration with well-known health advocate, Dr. Mark Hyman (p. xv). His brain scan, SPECT, is a nuclear medicine study that looks at blood flow and activity of areas in the brain. It will also show whether a person has had injuries from accidents or sports. The methodology and the treatments that have evolved have helped an increasing number of people, among them parents with children who suffer from learning disorders related to ADD/ADHD, children who have had head injuries and subsequent notable changes in behavior, couples who have been brought to the brink of divorce due to behavior and perception struggles, and people with severe depression challenges (p. 23). Dr. Amen cautions that, as in all cutting edge research, not all scientists agree with his findings, but notes that their evolving treatments are based on more than two decades of clinical data and observations. He states that a follow-up study with patients suffering from a combination of ADD, depression, anxiety and addiction, 84% reported that they functioned better after the Amen treatment (p.43). From an Education Profession perspective of watching an increasing number of our students appearing with attention-deficits disorders and autism spectrum issues most educational professionals would probably agree that, for many such parents, a consult and a brain scan might be preferable to watching their child face a life with diminishing skills and joy. For an increasing number of elderly people who are facing diminishing lives due to escalating incidents of Alzheimer brain incapacity, a consult and a brain scan might be worth an ounce of prevention. For people with a life history of taking responsibility for their own health, a consult and a brain scan may also become as useful as an annual heart and blood pressure exam. Dr. Amen and his teams have developed a well balanced paradigm and treatment protocol that includes both traditional medication as well as health based remedies such as 5-HTP, inositol, green tea, rhodiola, L-tyrosine, DHEA, SAMe, vitamin D, GABA, B6, magnesium, huperzine A, acetyl-L-carnitine, vinpocentine, and ginko biloba for issues related to addiction, depression, cravings, impulsivity and learning disabilities (p.292). The book was made endearing to readers by the inclusion of many case-narratives; it's not an intimidating 500-page medical research paper. The book may become a comforting go-to encyclopedic reference tool that is further extended by back-up website materials for many struggling parents, individuals and couples who have failed to find practical medical help for themselves, their family or their children.

まず英文が読みやすい。簡潔明瞭で、難解な専門用語が最小限度に抑えられているので、辞書を引く回数が少なくてすらすら読み進めます。 患者の具体的治療例が問題部位とそれに対する使用薬剤とを紹介してくれている事で、現在問題を抱えて病院に行こうか迷ってる人、実際通院している人両者にとって、とても心強いアドバイスになると思います。 著者や、彼の実子の問題についても率直に書かれてあり、同じ問題を持つひとや親の立場からも励まされる情報が得られる嬉しさがあります。 薬剤を使用したくない人にとっても、薬剤を上手に使用するメリットの説明とともに、薬剤なしの自助的治療法も具体性があってとっても実行しやすいのが有難いです。

Quizás un poco enfocado a su imperio comercial.

Coruscating, insightful and indeed an inspirational book from Dr Daniel. I thoroughly recommend it to everyone,patients,parents,and doctors,alike. The missing link to a better,more productive and happier life is undoubtedly through greater understanding of our wonderful brain and it's multi modal functioning. Dr Amen's pioneering work on brain function and behaviour has come at an important time in our evolution.Now, more than ever, we have the tools and methods to look closer at human behaviour and see greater possibilities and solutions for healing and optimal working of our brains and ultimately our behaviour. No longer does the internal workings of our grey matter have to be shrouded in the cloak of obscurity and ignorance.The guessing games, the blind faith, the conjecture can now be pushed to one side.The doors of understanding and awareness have been well and truly opened. And,this book is just the beginning, tip of the iceberg, in brain research.But what a great start from Dr Amen and who better to lead the way and show us how to change our brains and ultimately change our lives, for the better.For all of us. Also,if you haven't see any of Daniels videos on YouTube,do so now. You will be inspired, moved and engaged in so many ways, he's a fantastic speaker!

One of the rare books I have read that actually helps me get healthy in all areas of life
