| cold therapy for ms: Multiple Sclerosis Institute of Medicine, Board on Neuroscience and Behavioral Health, Committee on Multiple Sclerosis: Current Status and Strategies for the Future, 2001-08-10 Multiple sclerosis is a chronic and often disabling disease of the nervous system, affecting about 1 million people worldwide. Even though it has been known for over a hundred years, no cause or cure has yet been discovered-but now there is hope. New therapies have been shown to slow the disease progress in some patients, and the pace of discoveries about the cellular machinery of the brain and spinal cord has accelerated. This book presents a comprehensive overview of multiple sclerosis today, as researchers seek to understand its processes, develop therapies that will slow or halt the disease and perhaps repair damage, offer relief for specific symptoms, and improve the abilities of MS patients to function in their daily lives. The panel reviews existing knowledge and identifies key research questions, focusing on: Research strategies that have the greatest potential to understand the biological mechanisms of recovery and to translate findings into specific strategies for therapy. How people adapt to MS and the research needed to improve the lives of people with MS. Management of disease symptoms (cognitive impairment, depression, spasticity, vision problems, and others). The committee also discusses ways to build and financially support the MS research enterprise, including a look at challenges inherent in designing clinical trials. This book will be important to MS researchers, research funders, health care advocates for MS research and treatment, and interested patients and their families. |

| cold therapy for ms: Cold Intimacies Eva Illouz, 2013-04-23 It is commonly assumed that capitalism has created an a-emotional world dominated by bureaucratic rationality; that economic behavior conflicts with intimate, authentic relationships; that the public and private spheres are irremediably opposed to each other; and that true love is opposed to calculation and self-interest. Eva Illouz rejects these conventional ideas and argues that the culture of capitalism has fostered an intensely emotional culture in the workplace, in the family, and in our own relationship to ourselves. She argues that economic relations have become deeply emotional, while close, intimate relationships have become increasingly defined by economic and political models of bargaining, exchange, and equity. This dual process by which emotional and economic relationships come to define and shape each other is called emotional capitalism. Illouz finds evidence of this process of emotional capitalism in various social sites: self-help literature, women's magazines, talk shows, support groups, and the Internet dating sites. How did this happen? What are the social consequences of the current preoccupation with emotions? How did the public sphere become saturated with the exposure of private life? Why does suffering occupy a central place in contemporary identity? How has emotional capitalism transformed our romantic choices and experiences? Building on and revising the intellectual legacy of critical theory, this book addresses these questions and offers a new interpretation of the reasons why the public and the private, the economic and the emotional spheres have become inextricably intertwined. |

| cold therapy for ms: Small Fry Lisa Brennan Jobs, 2019-12-09 “Dia menatapku dari majalah-majalah, koran-koran, dan layar-layar di kota mana pun aku berada. Itu ayahku dan tidak ada yang tahu, tapi itulah kenyataannya. Bagaimana sedihnya ditolak ayah sendiri? Getirnya harus merahasiakan fakta bahwa ayahmu salah satu orang paling terkenal di dunia? Seperti sinetron, tapi ini kisah nyata. Lisa Brennan-Jobs, putri sulung Steve Jobs, pencipta merek komputer dan gawai ternama, harus menanggung krisis identitas diri parah selama bertahun-tahun akibat hubungan keluarga yang rumit dan tidak stabil. Chrisann, ibu kandung Lisa, dan Steve Jobs tidak pernah berencana memiliki anak di usia muda. Gaya hidup Chrisann sebagai seorang seniman cenderung bebas, dan kondisi ekonominya terbatas. Ketika hubungan Chrisann dan Lisa memburuk, Lisa memutuskan untuk tinggal bersama sang ayah, yang kaya raya namun sering bersikap dingin kepadanya. Lisa berusaha keras untuk menjadi anak baik dan berprestasi, demi mencecap kasih sayang sang ayah. Tapi Steve Jobs tetap menjaga jarak dengan putrinya, membuat Lisa kecewa. Terkoyak antara benci dan cinta, Lisa berjuang untuk memahami dan menerima siapa dirinya. Tujuh tahun setelah Steve Jobs tiada akibat kanker pankreas, Lisa menghimpun keberanian untuk berbagi kisah hidupnya yang kontroversial. Inilah Small Fry, kisah Lisa Brennan-Jobs, yang menurut New York Times ditulis dengan “indah sekaligus memilukan”. NELAYAN KETIGA. Master, aku bertanya-tanya bagaimana ikan hidup di laut. NELAYAN PERTAMA. Yah, seperti manusia hidup di darat; yang besar-besar menyantap yang kecil-kecil. Tak ada perbandingan yang lebih tepat untuk orang kaya yang kikir daripada seekor paus; hilir mudik kian kemari, memancing ikan-ikan kecil yang malang ke depannya, lalu akhirnya melahap mereka semua dalam sekali telan. Paus-paus semacam itu kerap kudengar di darat, yang tak pernah berhenti menganga sampai mereka sudah menelan seluruh paroki, gereja, menara, lonceng-lonceng, dan semuanya. —Shakespeare, Pericles Sungguh pengalaman aneh, menjadi sosok anonim yang berdiri di tengah hujan salju, dan menjadi pusat perhatian publik. —Saul Bellow, Humboldt’s Gift Tiga bulan sebelum dia meninggal, aku mulai mencuri barang-barang dari rumah ayahku. Aku berkeliaran tanpa alas kaki dan menyelipkan benda-benda ke dalam sakuku. Aku mengambil perona pipi, pasta gigi, dua mangkuk warna biru tosca yang gompel, sebotol cat kuku, sepasang sandal balet usang, dan empat sarung bantal putih kusam. Setelah mencuri setiap benda, aku merasa puas. Aku berjanji pada diri sendiri bahwa ini akan menjadi yang terakhir. Namun, tak lama kemudian dorongan untuk mengambil benda lainnya kembali datang seperti dahaga. Aku berjingkat-jingkat memasuki kamar ayahku, berhati-hati agar tidak menginjak papan lantai yang berderit di ambang pintu. Kamar ini dulu ruang kerjanya, waktu dia masih kuat naik tangga, tapi dia tidur di sini sekarang. Kamar itu berantakan disesaki buku-buku, surat, dan botol-botol obat; apel-apel kaca, apel-apel kayu; berbagai penghargaan, majalah-majalah, dan bertumpuk-tumpuk kertas. Ada lukisan-lukisan berbingkai karya Hasui yang menggambarkan senja dan matahari terbenam di kuil-kuil. Sepetak cahaya merah muda terpentang di dinding di sampingnya. Dia berbaring bertopangkan bantal-bantal di tempat tidur, mengenakan celana pendek. Tungkainya telanjang dan sekurus lengan, menekuk seperti tungkai belalang. “Hai, Lis,” panggilnya. Segyu Rinpoche berdiri di sebelahnya. Akhir-akhir ini lelaki itu selalu ada saat aku datang berkunjung. Lelaki Brasil bertubuh pendek dengan mata cokelat berbinar, sang Rinpoche adalah biksu Buddha bersuara parau yang mengenakan jubah cokelat menutupi perut bulatnya. Kami memanggil lelaki itu dengan gelarnya. Zaman sekarang, orang-orang suci dari Tibet terkadang lahir di barat, di tempat-tempat seperti Brasil. Bagiku dia tidak “terlihat” suci—dia tidak tampak berjarak atau gaib. Di dekat kami, sebuah kantong kanvas hitam berisi zat gizi berdengung oleh mesin dan pompa, selangnya menghilang di suatu tempat di bawah seprai ayahku. “Menyentuh kakinya itu ide yang bagus,” Rinpoche berkata, meletakkan tangannya melingkari kaki ayahku di tempat tidur. “Seperti ini.” Aku tidak tahu apakah sentuhan kaki itu ide bagus untuk ayahku, atau untukku, atau untuk kami berdua. Oke,” kataku, lalu meraih satu kaki yang dibalut kaus kaki tebal, walaupun rasanya aneh ketika mengawasi wajah ayahku, karena saat dia mengernyit kesakitan atau marah kelihatannya sama seperti saat dia hendak tersenyum. “Rasanya enak,” kata ayahku sambil memejamkan mata. Aku melirik lemari laci di sampingnya dan rak-rak di sisi lain kamar itu, mencari benda-benda yang kuinginkan, walaupun aku tahu aku takkan berani mencuri di depan matanya. Selagi dia tidur, aku berkeliaran di sekeliling rumah, mencari-cari entah apa. Seorang perawat duduk di sofa di ruang tamu, kedua tangan di pangkuan, bersiaga mendengarkan panggilan dari ayahku. Rumah itu sepi, suara-suara teredam, dinding batu bata bercat putih berlekuk-lekuk seperti bantal. Lantai terakota terasa sejuk di kakiku kecuali di bagian-bagian tempat matahari telah menghangatkannya menyamai suhu kulit. Dalam lemari di kamar mandi kecil dekat dapur, tempat dulunya ada satu edisi Bhagavad Gita yang sudah koyak-koyak, aku menemukan sebotol penyegar wajah mawar yang mahal. Dengan pintu tertutup, lampu dimatikan, duduk di penutup toilet, aku menyemprotkannya ke udara dan memejamkan mata. Percikannya jatuh di sekelilingku, sejuk dan suci, bagaikan di dalam hutan atau gereja batu tua. Selain itu, ada tabung perak lip gloss dengan sikat di salah satu ujungnya dan mekanisme pemutar di ujung satunya yang mengalirkan cairan ke tengah-tengah sikat. Aku harus memilikinya. Aku menjejalkan lip gloss itu ke dalam saku untuk kubawa pulang ke apartemen satu kamar di Greenwich Village yang kutempati bersama pacarku. Aku tahu pasti bahwa tabung lip gloss ini akan melengkapi hidupku. Di antara menghindari pembantu rumah tangga, adik-adikku, dan ibu tiriku di sepenjuru rumah supaya tidak ketahuan mencuri barang-barang, atau terluka saat mereka tidak memedulikanku atau membalas sapaanku, dan menyemprot diri sendiri dalam kamar mandi gelap agar aku tidak merasa terlalu menghilang—sebab di tengah tetes-tetes air yang berjatuhan aku merasa seakan-akan kembali mewujud. Berupaya menemui ayahku yang sakit di kamarnya mulai terasa seperti beban bagiku. Sepanjang tahun lalu aku berkunjung pada akhir pekan kurang lebih setiap dua bulan sekali. Aku sudah menyerah mengharapkan rekonsiliasi agung, seperti di film-film, tapi aku tetap saja datang. Di antara waktu kunjungan, aku melihat ayahku di mana-mana di New York. Aku melihatnya duduk dalam bioskop, lekuk leher yang sama persis sampai ke rahang dan tulang pipi. Aku melihatnya saat aku berlari menyusuri Sungai Hudson pada musim dingin, duduk di bangku menatap kapal-kapal di galangan; dan dalam perjalananku menaiki subway ke tempat kerja, melangkah pergi di peron menembus kerumunan. Para lelaki-lelaki kurus dengan kulit sewarna zaitun, jemari lentik, pergelangan tangan ramping, wajah berhias pangkal janggut yang kutemui di jalan, dari sudut-sudut tertentu, terlihat mirip dengannya. Setiap kali aku harus mendekat untuk mengecek, dengan jantung berdebar, walaupun aku tahu itu tidak mungkin dia karena dia sedang terbaring sakit di California. Sebelum ini, selama tahun-tahun yang kami lalui nyaris tanpa bicara, aku melihat fotonya di mana-mana. Melihat foto-foto itu memberiku perasaan ganjil. Rasanya sama seperti menangkap kilasan diriku dalam cermin di seberang ruangan dan mengira itu orang lain, lalu menyadari itu wajahku sendiri: Dia ada di sana, menatapku dari majalah-majalah, koran-koran, dan layar-layar di kota mana pun aku berada. Itu ayahku dan tidak ada yang tahu, tapi itulah kenyataannya. Sebelum berpamitan, aku pergi ke kamar mandi untuk menyemprotkan penyegar sekali lagi. Semprotan itu alami, yang artinya setelah beberapa menit berlalu aromanya tidak lagi tajam seperti mawar, tapi berbau busuk dan lembap seperti rawa, walaupun saat itu aku tidak menyadarinya. Sewaktu aku masuk ke kamarnya, Ayah tengah bersiap untuk berdiri. Aku mengamatinya menyatukan kedua tungkai dalam satu lengan, memutar tubuhnya sembilan puluh derajat dengan menekan kepala tempat tidur menggunakan lengan satunya, kemudian mengerahkan kedua lengan untuk mengangkat tungkainya melewati pinggiran tempat tidur dan memijak lantai. Ketika kami berpelukan, aku bisa merasakan tulang belakangnya, tulang rusuknya. Dia berbau apak, seperti keringat obat. “Nanti aku kembali lagi,” kataku. Kami melepaskan pelukan, dan aku mulai berjalan pergi. “Lis?” “Ya?” “Baumu seperti toilet.” [Mizan, Mizan Publishing, Qanita, Fiksi, Kisah, Keluarga, Dewasa, Indonesia] |

| cold therapy for ms: The Wahls Protocol Terry Wahls M.D., Eve Adamson, 2014-03-13 An integrative approach to healing chronic autoimmune conditions by a doctor, researcher, and sufferer of progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) whose TEDx talk is already a web sensation Like many physicians, Dr. Terry Wahls focused on treating her patients’ ailments with drugs or surgical procedures—until she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in 2000. Within three years, her back and stomach muscles had weakened to the point where she needed a tilt-recline wheelchair. Conventional medical treatments were failing her, and she feared that she would be bedridden for the rest of her life. Dr. Wahls began studying the latest research on autoimmune disease and brain biology, and decided to get her vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids from the food she ate rather than pills and supplements. Dr. Wahl’s adopted the nutrient-rich paleo diet, gradually refining and integrating it into a regimen of neuromuscular stimulation. First, she walked slowly, then steadily, and then she biked eighteen miles in a single day. In November 2011, Dr. Wahls shared her remarkable recovery in a TEDx talk that immediately went viral. Now, in The Wahls Protocol, she shares the details of the protocol that allowed her to reverse many of her symptoms, get back to her life, and embark on a new mission: to share the Wahls Protocol with others suffering from the ravages of multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune conditions. |
| cold therapy for ms: Multiple Sclerosis T. Jock Murray, MD, 2004-12-01 Multiple Sclerosis: The History of a Disease won a 2005 ForeWord Book of the Year Silver Medal! The basic facts about multiple sclerosis are well known: it is the most common neurologic disease of young adults, usually beginning with episodic attacks of neurologic symptoms, then entering a progressive phase some years later. Its onset has an average age of 30, and occurs in about 1 in 500 individuals of European ancestry living primarily in temperate climates. There appears to be a complex interaction between a genetic predisposition and an environmental trigger that initiates the disease. But these facts do not convey the impact of the disease on the people whose lives it affects. In this elegantly written and comprehensive history, we meet individuals who suffered with MS in the centuries before the disease had a name, including blessed Lidwina of Holland, who took joy from her misery, believing that she was sent to accept suffering for the sins of others; Augustus d'Est, grandson of George III and cousin of Queen Victoria, whose case shows how someone with access to the best of medical care of the age was understood and managed; and Heinrich Heine, the great German poet, who also had access to all medical services that were available, but who progressed into his mattress grave in two decades, aware of the loss of physical ability while still able to compose great poetry to the end. From these early cases the author demonstrates how progress in diagnosing and managing multiple sclerosis has paralleled the development of medical science, from the early developments in modern studies of anatomy and pathology, to the framing of the disease in the nineteenth century, and eventually to modern diagnosis and treatment. From beginning to end, Dr. Murray takes us on a fascinating journey of discovery, in the process showing how the evolution of our understanding of multiple sclerosis has been part of the greater history of medical knowledge. |
