This book investigates the science, history, and politics of Lyme disease through the lens of a journalist whose family has been deeply affected by the illness. It explores the significant rise of Lyme disease and the atypical presentations that complicate its diagnosis and treatment. The narrative delves into the intense controversy and uncertainty surrounding Lyme disease, revealing a major medical dispute. The author shares her personal journey after she, her husband, and their two sons fell seriously ill with Lyme starting in the 1990s. From the microbe responsible for the infection to treatment options and the types of practitioners involved, Lyme disease is a contentious issue. With over 200,000 new cases estimated annually by the CDC, it has become the fastest-spreading infectious disease in the U.S., surpassing AIDS and TB. Alarmingly, many cases go undiagnosed as the disease often evades blood tests, and not all patients show the classic symptoms. This leads to once-treatable infections becoming chronic, resulting in disabling conditions. The book discusses the reasons behind the Lyme epidemic's escalation, the dismissal of patients, and potential solutions to increase awareness and find a cure. It provides a comprehensive overview of Lyme disease's past, present, and future, highlighting the urgency of addressing this growing epidemic.

"What makes for a healthy and lasting union in which love prevails? Experts give advice on how to keep relationships strong from initial attraction to lasting love. Love Decoded provides everything you need to ensure your passion thrives, whether you're celebrating your first anniversary or your 50th! As recently as the 19th century, marriage was largely a practical affair--people married for financial security, to create family, to have a home. If love entered the picture, it was by chance. But starting in the 1900s through to today, marriage and long-term partnerships of all kinds have gone through rapid, radical, continuous change: Today, enduring unions enable love, creativity, and the chance for personal growth--in the wake of a divorce rate at 50%, researchers say, those relationships that allow us to flourish as individuals have the greatest chance of long success. This book describes the 21st century reinvention of enduring unions with input from researchers and therapists at the forefront of the field. Stephanie Coontz, the social historian known for her seminal work on the transformation of marriage, explains how love has conquered marriage. David Sncharch, who reinvented sex therapy for the 21st century in the wake of Master's and Johnson, describes his new model of interconnectedness--in which partners can be independent while pursuing a shared life. And Aaron Ben-Ze-ev, the preeminent philosopher of love and author of the upcoming Arc of Love, explains how long-term relationships can enable profound love and flourishing--not possible when one skips from one passionate fling to the next. Of course, this book covers the gamut of pragmatic issues too: How to get along with in-laws, how to collaborate on raising kids, and how to rebuild the nest when kids have gone"--Provided by publisher

Wrażenie, iż twój umysł oddziela się od ciała i egzystuje na odmiennej płaszczyźnie nazywa się doznaniem poza ciałem, lub w skrócie OBE. Czym dokładnie jest OBE, tego tak naprawdę nie wie nikt. Ludzie, którzy doświadczyli tego zjawiska twierdzą, że ich świadomość dosłownie wydostaje się z ciała. Może zawisnąć nieruchomo na pewnej wysokości i obserwować leżące poniżej ciało lub też unieść się poprzez sufit i dach w górę, i udać się w odwiedziny do krewnych czy w odległe zakątki naszego globu. Większość z tych, którzy doświadczyli OBE z całą stanowczością stwierdza, że doznania takie różnią się od zwykłych snów czy fantazji na jawie, a przeprowadzone w warunkach laboratoryjnych testy wydają się to potwierdzać.
