Mother-Daughter Memoir Depicts Teen Rage, Holistic Medicine, Skilled Nursing Care
(PRWEB) January 9, 2008 -- Throughout the country, the neglect and abuse Wolf's mother endured afflicts countless numbers of other hospitalized seniors as well as myriad people who require long-term health care due to illness or accident. In addition, the tens of millions of the "baby boomers" who currently care for elderly parents themselves constitute the next generation to face nursing care hospitals.
Michael Connors, of California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform (CANHR), calls Wolf's book "very moving." He adds, "Unfortunately ... (on) a daily basis we hear heartbreaking tales of neglect and abuse ..."
An especially ironic twist to Wolf's story is that her had mother combined holistic and conventional medicine to cure herself of terminal cancer only to fall prey, a quarter of a century later -- all tumors long since dissolved -- to the terminal conditions of the health care system.

Treating Fibromyalgia with Tao Holistic Healing Program
The Tao Holistic Healing Program (http://www.taoholistichealing.com) is a 10-day intensive training helping people to take control of their health and lives. It has been successful in guiding individuals to relieve symptoms of fibromyalgia, sometimes leading to complete recovery. In the program, unrecognized emotional pain, rooted in the past, are viewed as often being a major contributor to physical pain in the present. The treatment is to feel the physical pain, and then the emotional pain, recognizing the connection between the two. Through this process, participants commonly experience dramatic release of pain from the body.
