Topic: Men in Black


  
 Medicine
Intensive care medicine is concerned with the therapy of patients with serious and life-threatening disease or injury.
The science of medicine is the body of knowledge about body systems and diseases, while the profession of medicine refers to the social structure of the group of people formally trained to apply that knowledge to treat disease.
Medicine is both an area of knowledge (a science), and the application of that knowledge (the medical profession).

 Medicine and Medicine men among Indians
In general they used much more common sense in their practice, were acquainted with the beneficial effects of sweating, poulticing, moxa, scarification, various manipulations, and numerous vegetal remedies, such as purgatives, emetics, etc. Some of these medicine-women were frequently summoned in cases of childbirth, and sometimes were of material assistance.
There were many variations of this method, according to the requirements of the case, and the medicine-man never failed to exercise as much mental influence as possible over his patient.
In every Indian tribe there were, and in some tribes still are, a number of men, and perhaps also a number of women, who were regarded as the possessors of supernatural powers that enabled them to recognise, antagonise, or cure disease; and there were others who were better acquainted with actual remedies than the average.

 Journal of American Indian Education-Arizona State University
A white Indian medicine man, who might wear buffalo horns and an animal skin among the Indians and a top hat and frock coat when he practiced in the settlements, was much in demand by white families on the frontier.
Men of the two tribes were surging back and forth after the ball, whacking at one another with their sticks, shouting with savage triumph at each score while the squaws sat on the sidelines and guarded their husbandsÂ’ weapons.
Indian medicine men made a poultice for wounds from dogwood, simmered the small paleblue flowers of the flax weed and gave the fluid for asthma and coughs.

 Woman Spirit - Medicine Women
Medicine Women were the local psychologists, therapists, physicians and marriage counselors.
In some tribes, the Medicine Women were given the responsibility of making the warriors' shields for it was believed that she had special powers that would give those war shields added protection for the owners.
This is another situation where there was no gender bias, and there were just as many Medicine Women as Medicine Men.

 The Dawn of Medicine
The author explores the superstitions and achievements of the medicine men, culminating with the beginnings of modern medicine in the time of Hippocrates.
Before the time of Hippocrates the ancient civilizations had their men of medicine.
Although magic, incantations, and other nonscientific practices dominated, there nevertheless were some remarkable achievements in the dawn of medicine.

 PAPER 90 - SHAMANISM--MEDICINE MEN AND PRIESTS
The medicine men eventually essayed actual surgery in connection with temple slumber; among the first operations was that of trephining the skull to allow a headache spirit to escape.
Since all diseases and death itself were originally regarded as spirit phenomena, it was inevitable that the shamans, while functioning as medicine men and priests, should also have labored as doctors and surgeons.
The medicine men put great trust in signs and omens, such as, "When you hear the sound of a rustling in the tops of the mulberry trees, then shall you bestir yourself." Very early in the history of the race the shamans turned their attention to the stars.

 Patent Medicine History
The medicine men’s methods were simple and effective.
The attack on the patent medicine industry was also taken up by the United States Post Office Department through the agency of the mail fraud order.
The American Medical Association picked up the cause and began a campaign against the patent medicine business and what they felt had been miscalled "medical freedom." This campaign was begun a few years before Adams’ articles in Collier’s appeared partly to disassociate themselves from the seemingly unethical practices of the patent medicine industry.

 Lewis Mehl-Madrona: Healing Intensives
Functional Medicine, a contemporary integrative approach founded by John Bland, is a science-based health care system that assesses and treats the underlying causes of illness through individually-tailored therapies.
These practices teach patients that their emotions don't have to rule their lives or seriously affect their health since they are fleeting experiences of the mind.
He is a graduate of Indiana University (Biophysical Chemistry, 1972), Stanford University School of Medicine (M.D., 1975), and the Psychological Studies Institute in Palo Alto, California (Ph.D., Clinical Psychology, 1980).

 Medicine Men$
And as far as their medicine is concerned, I wish we had all the knowledge that those old medicine men have.
It's in some of the books, shows all of the things that the medicine men had with their medicine man kit.
But going back to the medicine men, one time out there at Montezuma Creek, I know, this lady was dying, they said, and they had a big sing for her.

 Transsexual - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sex reassignment surgery consists of processes transsexual women and men take in order to match their anatomical sex to their gender identity; however, surgery to correct genitalia (SRS) is also very expensive and not covered by public or private health insurance everywhere.
A recent report shows that this does not harm the development of these children in any way.
A number of treatments were frequently attempted in the past that are now considered ineffective and in some cases barbaric, including aversion therapy, psychoactive medications, electroconvulsive therapy, hormone treatments consistent with the birth gender, and psychotherapy alone.

 Men II
Men are more likely to describe depression as feeling burnt out, for example, rather than excessive sadness.
Men are in a constant state of siege, contends Jed Diamond, caught in the deadly pincers of high-stakes (and typically male) social warfare on one front and changing (and often feminizing) social norms on the other.
Unfortunately, psychiatry ghettoizes men, all too often tagging the ones who seek help as antisocial or substance abusers, and shunting them off to treatment that may not be appropriate or at best only a partial answer.

 Postgraduate Medicine: Men's health
This symposium focuses on three men's health issues commonly encountered in the primary care office: erectile dysfunction, prostate cancer screening, and testosterone deficiency.
Thus, the major challenges to primary care physicians are getting men into the office and dealing with their healthcare needs effectively once they are there.
Any upturn in men's visits to their primary care physician in recent years is largely due to increasing concerns about erectile dysfunction and patient expectations for drugs to treat it.

 SHUAR: talking with Ecuadorian Amazon medicine men
An uwishin, who may be a man or a woman, has a great deal of knowledge of medicinal plants with very powerful cures, through learning from others, and through experiments from the plants themselves.
Women were killed in childbirth and the men nursed the babies, who were cut out of their mothers' bellies when it was time for them to be born.
When Shuar men return to their homes from work, they sit and drink chicha, a kind of fermented root beer.

 Kallawayas: The Nomadic Medicine Men of Bolivia
The innovative Medicinal Plants project is not only reviving interest in the value of traditional medical wisdom and techniques, but also extending the coverage of primary health care.
Young people in Bautista Saavedra have a privileged opportunity to grow up learning about medicinal plants and herbs, he explains, but what is really needed is a systematic teaching of their value and unique properties, one that preserves the elderly kallawayas' experiences.
Yet only during the past three decades has Western medicine gradually and reluctantly begun to grant validity to certain principles of traditional holistic medicine and allow greater tolerance for forms of health care other than those officially sanctioned by modern science and technology.

Transsexual men may appear feminine, androgynous or masculine.
I am one of a growing cadre of men who have chosen to make ourselves available to assist transsexual and non-transsexual people in understanding the experience of transsexual men.
And some of us have chosen to make ourselves visible as FTMs--men who were born with female bodies, not "women who became men"--because we have realized that the isolation individual men like ourselves experience can lead to poor self-esteem and ill-informed choices with respect to treatment in medical, legal, and social arenas.

 BSTc brain differences and transsexualism
Sexual orientation seemed irrelevant to the size of the BSTc because it was as large in homosexual men as in heterosexual men.
Since all the transsexuals had received long-term treatment with estrogen and all but one had been castrated, one concern is whether the brain differences simply reflect the hormone treatments rather than the psychological condition of these people.
A transsexual medical doctor (not a psychology researcher) has recently promoted one researcher's theory of transsexuality that explains transsexuality through sexual orientation.

 Definitions and Myths

Transsexuals can and do include themselves in the women’s community and the lesbian community without permission from nontranssexuals.
Transsexual women are no more likely to be disrespectful than non-transsexual women; and any woman who behaves badly should be excluded.

 The Rise of the Plastic Medicine Men
As to white people who think it's cute, or neat or groovy or keen to hook up with plastic medicine men, to subsidize and promote them, and claim you and they have some fundamental 'right' to desecrate our spiritual traditions, I've got a piece of news for you.
This is why there are very few real 'medicine men' among us; only a few are chosen.
