Four years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. The cancerous tumor could not be felt by me or my gynecologist or the surgeon who performed my mastectomy. My film mammogram and my ultra sound were inconclusive, but I had a radiologist that wouldn’t stop. The tumor finally showed up on a diagnostic mammogram. It was difficult to see and impossible to feel because the tumor was in the back of my breast close to the chest wall. I am one of those very fortunate women who have not become a statistic. Over 40,000 women die every year from breast cancer. Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths of women in the United States. (Lung cancer is first.) While there are no guarantees in life, there are measures to take to give you an edge.

There are two types of screening mammograms: digital and film. Get a yearly digital mammogram. They are more definitive than a film mammogram. A digital mammogram takes an electronic image of the breast and stores it on a computer. Images can be enhanced and brightened for a clearer reading by a radiologist. Digital mammograms use less radiation than a film mammogram. A film mammogram takes a picture of the breast on film, like a picture. It can’t be altered, magnified, or brightened.

Even though there are several structured forms of meditation today, the history of meditation goes back to thousands of years. It is believed that primitive man might have discovered the art of meditation, mesmerized by the blazing fires they built and going into a trance even as they watched the fire.

Archaeological findings reveal yogic figures in the Indus Valley Civilization, which proves that meditation existed thousands of years ago. The Indian scriptures dating back more than five thousand years talk about different methods of meditation! As times developed, this became more structured. Throughout its history, meditation has been perceived as religion-related, but now, its health benefits are being recognized and appreciated.

Subsequently the next big thing in the history of meditation is credited to Buddha in 500 BC. He initiated his students and followers into the principles of meditation and this reached out across Asia, becoming very widespread in China, Japan, Tibet, and other Asian countries. Different methods evolved as this happened. Slowly other parts of the world developed their own methods of meditation. Continue reading ‘History Of Meditation – The Age-Old Practice’ »

Those who suffer from panic attack anxiety disorder present somewhat of a challenge for their doctors. Because symptoms from these types of disorders rarely last longer than a few minutes they are pretty much impossible for a doctor to monitor and study. What a doctor will be able to see in a patient with anxiety issues will be their extreme concern about having future attacks and their intense desire to avoid situations they believe are causing their issues.

Generally, panic issues are classified as a disorder once a person suffers two or more panic attacks in a relatively short period of time and then goes at least a month or so with excessive fears that more attacks will occur. There is no magic formula for how often panic attacks will happen. Some will have attacks once a day or once a week for months at a time while others may have a short period of time where they will suffer many attacks and then not suffer another for weeks or even longer.
