Brain Waves Surge Moments Before Death A study of seven terminally ill patients found identical surges in brain activity moments before death, providing what may be physiological evidence of "out of body" experiences reported by people who survive near-death ordeals. Doctors at George Washington University Medical Faculty Associates recorded brain activity of people dying from critical illnesses, such as cancer or heart attacks. Moments before death, the patients experienced a burst in brain wave activity, with the spikes occurring at the same time before death and at comparable intensity and duration. Writing in the October issue of the Journal of Palliative Medicine, the doctors theorize that the brain surges may be tied to widely reported near-death experiences which typically involve spiritual or religious attributes. At first, doctors thought the electrical surges picked up by electroencephalographs were caused by other machines or cell phones in the rooms of dying patients, lead author Lakhmir Chawla told Discovery News.
La Fórmula de la Felicidad | Blog del Instituto de Ciencias de la Felicidad Todos queremos ser felices, pero pocos coincidimos en la manera en la que pensamos lograrlo. Ponemos condiciones a la felicidad, por ejemplo: podré ser feliz cuando tenga dinero, si mi salud mejora, si encuentro novio, si me gano una beca, si mi padre me pide perdón… Actuamos como si las causas de la felicidad estuvieran fuera, no dentro de nosotros mismos. La mayor parte del tiempo actuamos como si nuestra felicidad dependiera de otros. Si pensamos en causas internas de la felicidad, a veces la atribuimos a algo heredado, como una suerte de lotería genética, donde así como hay rubios y morenos, altos y bajos, hay personas felices o infelices. Otras veces pensamos que la felicidad es algo que obtendremos en el futuro, no algo que podemos construir en el presente. ¿Qué hace feliz al ser humano? Desde la antigüedad muchos pensadores, como Aristóteles, han reflexionado acerca de lo que hace feliz al ser humano. La psicología positiva estudia científicamente la felicidad y el bienestar.

:: Authentic Happiness :: Using the new Positive Psychology Le jeûne thérapeutique, « intuition prometteuse » ou pratique à risque? Inscrivez-vous gratuitement à laNewsletter BFMTV Midi La "détox" et le jeûne sur plusieurs jours ont le vent en poupe, même chez les personnes atteintes d'un cancer souhaitant alléger les effets de la chimiothérapie. Pourtant, la recherche reste très balbutiante sur le sujet et les professionnels de santé rappellent les risques. "Médicalement, le jeûne aujourd'hui, c'est 'Circulez, il n'y a rien à voir'" constate auprès de BFMTV.com Bruno Falissard, directeur du Centre de recherche en épidémiologie et santé des populations à l'Inserm. Au regard du nombre de personnes qui le pratiquent chaque année (4000-5000 selon l'Institut national du cancer), les conclusions scientifiques manquent cruellement sur les effets de cette privation de nourriture. Du jeûne sec sans eau aux stages "jeûne et randonnée" à boire bouillons clairs et tisanes, en passant par le saut de repas ou la consommation d'aliments uniquement crus, les diètes ont le vent en poupe.

Seeing in the Dark Credit: cliff1066tm. Patient TN was, by his own account, completely blind. Two consecutive strokes had destroyed the visual cortex of his brain, and consequently, his ability to see. It is not uncommon for stroke patients to suffer brain damage, but the case of TN — referenced by his initials, the general practice in such studies — was peculiar. His first stroke had injured only one hemisphere of his visual cortex. About five weeks later, a second stroke damaged the other hemisphere. Known as selective bilateral occipital damage, TN’s unusual injury made him the subject of much interest while recovering at a hospital in Geneva. To further test the extent of TN’s abilities, researchers from Tilburg University in the Netherlands devised a simple yet decisive experiment: an obstacle course. TN’s rare condition is known as blindsight. The researchers explained that TN’s success indicates that “humans can sustain sophisticated visuo-spacial skills in the absence of perceptual awareness.”
Fasting for Health and Longevity: Nobel Prize Winning Research on Cell Aging By Lisa Monroe Since starting on her Blue Zones journey, Barbara Saxton has lost 25-plus pounds, three dress sizes, and significantly lowered her cholesterol. Saxton and her husband began incorporating the Power 9 principles (lifestyle habits shared by the world’s longest-lived people) one at the time after first learning about Blue Zones in 2015. “Then we started thinking about how we could live longer, healthier lives. “…we’ve definitely made a huge change in the past five years…” Today, she and her husband love sharing videos, recipes, and information about Blue Zones and are recognized by others in Southwest Florida as unofficial Blue Zones ambassadors. Barbara’s Transformation & Diet Right around 2015, Barbara’s doctor recommended that she take statins for high cholesterol, which was around 240. When looking at photos, Barbara said, “You can clearly see the difference in my face and just my overall look. “You can clearly see the difference in my face and just my overall look.”
