Look up the name "mechai" and you will learn plenty about the aggressive public health campaign that brought condom use and AIDS prevention to the forefront of Thai popular culture. Mechai is the name of a man who launched an essentially one-man campaign to encourage condom use in Thais. When his efforts took off, local health authorities came in to help him with HIV prevention efforts. As a result, skyrocketing HIV incidence actually leveled off within a few years.\n\nHave you taken the time to learn about health behavior thoery? You might want to read about the Health Belief Model, Trans-Theoretical Model and Social Cognitive Theory. When you learn about these health behavior theories, the matieral is generally accompanied by examples of past health promotional campaigns built around those frameworks.

Below website teaches you all about how foods affect your body making it easier to be thin. It teaches how to develop new, good habits so staying thin will not take hardly any any effort.\n\nIt has a whole different way of dealing with this since current teachings of our society on this has made obesity (according to Atlantic Monthly) the #1 health problem in the world replacing hunger and infectious disease. Isn't that terrible that while many cannot afford to buy enough food, our extra money is killing us and ruining our health?

I must admit that I am in no way familiar with "The Tao of Health, Sex, and Longevity", however, I am currently a Dietetic Intern and have a degree in Nutrition and Dietetics. \n\nWhen anyone tries to eliminate entire food groups or classes of foods it is very hard. I would recommend that when you get those urges to make your own desserts/cravings at home. If you are not a big cook try the Kraft Foods website or other recipe websites. Kraft has simple, easy recipes and you don't have to use Kraft products to actually make the recipes, they just recommend that you do. Making your own cravings at home is usually cheaper and healthier and may be an excepted part of the regime you speak of. \n\nTruly healthy eating is not the elimination of foods but smart thinking and moderation. Many times distractions come when we place ourselves in places/situations where the distractions are. These may include television commercials, friends/family who do not follow the same regimes, etc. You may have to turn the TV off or inform your friends/faily of your regime and ask that they respect you and not take offense if you decline. \n\nSome more tips for resisting the urge include\n-chewing gum\n-sweet candies like Jolly Ranchers (just a few)\n-snacking on fresh fruit/vegetables\n-water or flavored water\n-exercise\n\nGood luck. As I said before, I'm not familiar with your regime, but the more you deny yourself, the more you will want it, so do everything in moderation and when all else fails, make it at home yourself.

When was the last time any big moneymaking disease was cured?  In this advanced scientific age you would think quite often.  I don't have an exact answer, but I can't think of anything recent.  It would not be profitable for the pharmaceutical companies.  So instead, we just get better ways to control our disease and we live longer so that they can make even more money from us.  Will it ever happen?  Probably.  Will it happen in our lifetime?  Doubtful.

Was not successful, for me.\n\n"Mindfulness Meditation worked (still works) for me !!!\nAuthor  Jon Kabat-Zinn PhD."!!!\n\nAnd I ate a good size healthy breakfast daily (still do),  a  moderate lunch and dinner.  Never eat after 5:30 PM.\nAnd always drink a Full 8 oz. glass of Water (not tap water) right before you eat lunch and dinner.  Keeps food consumption at a moderation.\nAnd lastly,  exercise every other day.\n20 to 30 min. of  Cardio.\n\nBe  Very  Patient  with  Yourself.  Be Kind to yourself  and  forgiving toward yourself also.\n\nExcellent Question.\n\nR.N. -  with  Masters  Degree.\n\nP.S. =  Diet pills are Not recommended.  They give most people the feeling that they are on Speed, or other recreational drugs.  And  I  know many people that are presently in  drug \nrehab. clinics because of there addiction to Diet Pills.

Thi biggest killers of otherwise healthy people are heart attacks and stroke, followed by cancer, then any number of inflammatory diseases and diabetes. Looking at the major risk factors for these, and especially which factors put you at risk for more than one, is a good way to go about deciding what to focus on:\n\nSmoking\nObesity\nHigh blood pressure\nHigh LDL, low HDL (cholesterol)\nPoor diet\nLack of exercise.\n\nTake care of these, and you cut your risk of serious disease over 50%, increase your lifespan, and more importantly, increase the number of years of health.

Saving lives is good.  \n\nBut why is your 'question' posted here, in Advertising and Marketing and not in Health?   Because it is an ad.\n\nThis this is not a forum for advertisements.

Have a look on the NHS.gov website.  They're very good at plucking targets and stuff out of thin air without consulting the medics at the coal face!!  When I snuff it, I'm coming back to sort out the NHS as my biggest strength I am told is bringing order out of chaos!!

We all have the power to take away (and prevent) sickness.  It's something that's not widely publicized thanks to the AMA, the US government and the pharmaceutical industry.\n\nIf you truly want to take responsibility for your health, here are a few websites to get you started:\n\nhttp://www.whfoods.com/eathealthy.php\nhttp://www.curezone.com\nhttp://www.therawfoodsite.com/mastercleanse.htm\nhttp://www.dadamo.com/

Well, grandmasue, what have you done to raise awareness of AIDS and safe sex as a means of prevention?  Sounds to me like another one of those self righteous diatribes.  Before you criticize others for trying to make the world a better place, get busy and do your part, then you won't have any time to make these observations.  Stop preaching and start practicing!

Omigosh...I am from Jamaica and I am shocked to even think you thought we are that backwards. Listen......Listen.....LISTEN, we are as advanced as the USA. Most of our doctors are trained In England and they bring the latest practices to Jamaica and I dare say to the entire Caribbean. We do not vist bush doctors nor tend to our sick, if we are not trained to!. We have well equipped hospitals that do that for a fee, in some cases it's free. We consider illness an un-fortunate experience but confident that the right medications can take care of anything. So yes, we still go to work even though we may have cancer or even the flu! All employers supply their employees with a health card so that also encourages a visit to the doctor. Omigosh, we have a modern thriving health sector with qualified practioners of all categories, so we do not have to rely on alternate medicines...okay boss??? Welcome to the future!!

Hi scared....Boy do I know how you feel!  I walked into the emergency room on June 23, 2003 holding my chest.  My Cholesterol was >500, triglycerides >1200, and I weight 230 pounds....about 70 pounds over for me.  For some reason I turned down an angiogram and anything invasive and started on a quest for health.  I’ve been a Chef for years but the idea that food (and exercise) could so dramatically affect health escaped me somewhere....as it does just about all Americans.  The fact is that we in America have created this nice little fantasy world that exists apart and separate from the environment that nourishes us; the earth.  My journey has led me to a greater understanding of my own body and how it fits into the earth system.  I took two drugs for a few days over 1 month, just until my Doctor indicated that the momentum had switched to blood lipid reduction and I through them away and realized way more than half of my blood lipid reduction through diet and exercise alone.  In under 6 months I had bounced off of 150 ponds and settled about 160...my cholesterol was <150, triglycerides <100, I’d put on 10 ponds of muscle mass....I felt and looked GREAT...the best I’ve looked or felt in 45 years!\n\nI’m presently studying to become a Registered Dietician so that I can help plain folk like you and I help themselves faster and easier.  Although I could....and WILL in the future....offer some very concrete advise, especially on how to get through this on a day to day basis, I’m going to defer to several well qualified sources below that will get you going...spend a few hours on the vegsource website....find a teacher-Doctor there that appeals to you....I’ve highlighted two below.....get their DVDs (as well as the vegsource lecture DVDs) and books......put what they teach into daily practice......turn off the TV and tune in to life......exercise DAILY and eat right....become apart of the earth environment!  \n\nGood luck.....you can do this...I KNOW because I did it MYSELF.....I and others are with you!!\n\nDr. John McDougall\nhttp://www.drmcdougall.com/index.html\n\nDr. Neal Barnard\nhttp://www.nealbarnard.org/index.htm\n\nJohn Robbins\nhttp://www.foodrevolution.org/\n\nVegSource....a great resource for tons of health oriented teachers...\nhttp://www.vegsource.com/
