Nature, Mind, and Medicine: A Model for Mind –Body Healing
The human mind-body possesses a remarkable innate ability to heal. Grounded in the evolutionarily conserved systems of the brain and body, nature appears to function as the fundamental source of wellness along the two vectors of attention and relaxation. Yet, our species is moving away from nature at a time when humanity is just beginning to rediscover its benefits. (Source: Explore)

The human mind-body possesses a remarkable innate ability to heal. Grounded in the evolutionarily conserved systems of the brain and body, nature appears to function as the fundamental source of wellness along the two vectors of attention and relaxation. Yet, our species is moving away from nature at a time when humanity is just beginning to rediscover its benefits. Exposure to natural environments may provide a “window” of healing that can be extended through a continuum of intervention through the use of guided meditation and ultimately hypnotic suggestion.

Intuitive assessment of mortality based on facial characteristics: Behavioral, electrocortical, and machine learning analyses
Studies of various characteristics of the human face indicate that it contains a wealth of information about health status. Most studies involve objective measurement of facial features as correlated with historical health information. But some individuals also claim to be adept at intuitively gauging mortality based solely upon a quick glance at a person's photograph. To test this claim, we invited 12 such individuals to see if they could tell if a person was alive or dead based solely on a brief examination of his or her photograph. (Source: Explore)

D éjà Vécu and Déjà Visité: Similarities and Differences: Further Results From an Online Questionnaire
Over an 8-year period, an online questionnaire, devised as a pilot project, collected exploratory data in order to compare the particularities of d éjà vécu (i.e., event related) experiences with those of déjà visité (i.e., location related). In a previous article it was shown that there are sufficient differences in the results for these two experiences to warrant considering them as being separate entities. Here, additional analyses hav e established a number of relationships that differ across the two phenomena. (Source: Explore)

Potential efficacy of allergen removed rhus verniciflua stokes extract to maintain progression-free survival of patients with advanced hepatobiliary cancer
Hepatobiliary cancers are among the leading causes of cancer related deaths worldwide. Most of the early-stage, surgically resectable cases show recurrence, and when they do, the prognosis is dismal with limited available treatment options.Here, we report three patients with relapsed hepatobiliary cancers who presented relatively long progression-free survival with the administration of a natural product, allergen removed Rhus verniciflua Stokes (RVS) extract. After commencement of RVS extract, they were progression-free for over 56 months in one case of recurred cholangiocarcinoma, and for over 16 and 114 months respectiv...

Influence of time of yoga practice and gender differences on blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus and normal healthy adults
Prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing worldwide. Many studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of yoga in improving glycaemic control, whereas no studies are available showing the impact of time of practice on glucose levels. The current study explores the effect of time of yoga practice on glucose levels in community-dwelling adults with and without T2DM. (Source: Explore)
