Useful LinksThis is mostly a site for licensed clinicians, and its aim is to disseminate more evidence-based therapies amongst health professionals, in particular for psychological or emotion-based problems. There is an extensive array of articles and research pieces on this site, as well as resources for professionals and general public alike. This is the famous WeightChoice site, a comprehensive program and forum for weight loss that rejects dieting and instead looks at the unconscious processing that has led to poor lifestyle preferences, as well as providing relevant, quality information about nutrition and exercise. It works to identify and eliminate unhelpful preferences, systematically, easily and safely, so that the person may feel no different, but discovers themselves automatically making healthy choices relating to nutrition and physical movement. Attention is also given to the causes of lowered metabolic rate and program members are given 7 simple steps to increase their metabolism, leading not only to more energy burned, but to a greater sense of wellbeing and enjoyment of life. This is a self-help site for people suffering from diagnosed chronic pain. There is an ebook which gives a simplified explanation of a new treatment approach for chronic pain, as well as interesting articles and research pieces. There is an on-line treatment program also available. www.realhelpforchronicpain.com Many people would like to build more satisfying and enjoyable relationships, but recognise they need help to do so, especially if the problems relate to communication or sexual dysfunction/dissatisfaction. Whilst there are useful articles on this site, the most valuable aspect is the member-only on-line forum which allows not just creative problem solving of relationship challenges, but also offers a free couples workshop to plan and run for you and your partner, based on the book "Intimate Partners" by Christine Sutherland. www.realhelpforrelationships.com Depression is the most common of the psychological disorders and most researchers agree has a prevalence of around 20% of the general population. This site contains the very latest research on depression, offering some surprising findings and new insights into a scourge that the WHO says will by 2020 have grown so widespread that its cost will surpass that of all the cardio-vascular diseases combined, unless we can reverse that trend. On-line help will shortly be available via a program on the member-only forum, as well as privately. Criteria for acceptance onto the program includes ongoing supervision by your licensed medical practitioner for the duration of the program. This site offers a smoking cessation program aimed squarely at removing addictive or compulsive urges, without medication, substitutes or patches. Anxiety is a highly-common disorder affecting around 7% of the population and dramatically impacting on quality of life, especially when complicated by severe phobias or even panic attacks. This site offers a proven, step-by-step program to free yourself of anxiety, phobias and panic attacks. Cigarette smoking is a factor that
dramatically increases the likelihood of lung disease, including certain cancers,
especially (but not always) if asbestos has been used in the cigarette filter.
Two particularly devastating diseases that have been identified in this
regard are mesothelioma (a type of lung cancer) and asbestosis. The Mesothelioma
& Asbestos Awareness Center is a truly excellent resource site for people
who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or asbestosis, and also provides
support and information for friends and family members.
