Positive Health Online

Positive Health PH Online May Issue 286 is published 27 April 2023. The increasing spiral of tension and conflict across the world, perhaps greater than in any time since the 1950s is utterly depressing. Conflicts encompass Ukraine, Sudan, Iran; tension points affect China/Taiwan. Industrial unrest and strikes in the UK have spread across virtually all sectors – Education, Travel, Health – Junior Doctors and Nurses and French workers are demonstrating against the rise of the pension age.

The Storyville Documentary Deborah James: Bowelbabe in Her Own Words was perhaps the most harrowing and graphic description of what it is like to live and die with Stage 4 bowel cancer. Positive Health PH Online readers are very familiar with integrative / alternative cancer treatment approaches; however we are also aware that such treatment options do not form part of standard cancer treatment.

“Filmed in the last months of her life, with access to her personal and family archive, she talks frankly about her diagnosis and treatment, and shares many personal moments. The film is told by Deborah herself whilst she dances and records what living with bowel cancer was really like for her and those closest to her.”

In the masterful series Simon Schama – History of Britain the final episode concluded with a evocative, perhaps provocative juxtaposition of the roles and attitudes of Winston Churchill and Winston Smith  (George Orwell’s 1984) during and following World War II.

Positive Health PH Online May Issue 286 publishes a comprehensive collection of authoritative editorial features covering many aspects of clinical and treatment approaches encompassing Mind / Body / Spirit including Editorial Features,  Letters to the Editor, Research Updates and Short Features and Brief Takes

Dave Markowitz in the cover story On the Precipice of Transformation describes aspects of our inner battles between will, judgments, stories and beliefs.

“Everyone has their personal edge. As we approach that edge, our mind will do everything in its power to convince you to retreat. At that point there is often an internal battle between will, judgments, stories and beliefs, and love and fear. The more Western-trained self-help gurus will say to push through anyway. FEAR they say, is an acronym for False Evidence Appearing Real. They’ll tell you to feel the fear and do it anyway.

“But what if that fear is trying to protect you? Should it then be ignored, repressed, or wished away? What if someone’s fear is a trauma response to particular events from their childhood and what happens if we try to override it with thought alone?”
