From the author: Almost one half of male and female students participate in high school-sponsored athletics, and high school also is a time when classroom health promotion curricula are less effective. The Athletes Training and Learning to Avoid Steroids is a sport team-centered drug-use prevention program for male high school athletes, which has been shown to reduce alcohol and illicit drug use. Just as anabolic steroid use is associated with male athletes, female sport participants may be at a greater risk for disordered eating and body-shaping drug use. Extending sport team-centered programs to young women athletes required defining and ranking factors related to developing those harmful behaviors. Survey results from a cross-sectional cohort of female middle and high school student athletes were used to identify and prioritize potential curriculum components, including mood and self-esteem, norms of behavior, perceptions of healthy body weight, effects of media depictions of women, and societal pressures to be thin. The derived sport team-centered program was prospectively assessed among a second group of female student athletes from 18 high schools, randomized to receive the intervention or the usual care control condition. The Athletes Targeting Healthy Exercise and Nutrition Alternatives (ATHENA) intervention is a scripted, coach-facilitated, peer-led 8-session program, which was incorporated into a team’s usual training activities. The ATHENA program significantly altered the targeted risk factors and reduced ongoing and new use of diet pills and body-shaping substances (amphetamines, anabolic steroids, and sport supplements). These findings illustrate the utility of a structured process to define curriculum content, and the program’s positive results also confirm the sport team’s potential as a vehicle to effectively deter health-harming behaviors.

The looming maladaptive style predicts shared variance in anxiety disorder symptoms: further support for a cognitive model of vulnerability to anxiety [An article from: Journal of Anxiety Disorders]

This digital document is a journal article from Journal of Anxiety Disorders, published by Elsevier in 2005. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser.

Description:
Looming vulnerability pertains to a distinct cognitive phenomenology characterized by mental representations of dynamically intensifying danger and rapidly rising risk as one projects the self into an anticipated future [J. Pers. Soc. Psychol. 79 (2000) 837]. While looming appraisals can be experienced as state elicitation, some individuals are hypothesized to develop an enduring cognitive pattern of cross-situational looming appraisals, the looming maladaptive style (LMS), which functions as a cognitive vulnerability to anxiety. In the present study, we examined the extent to which the LMS predicts common variance in numerous anxiety disorder symptoms, independent of the potentially confounding effects of current depressive symptoms. Specifically, we hypothesized that controlling for depressive symptoms, LMS would predict shared variance in a latent factor comprised of indicators of five anxiety disorder symptoms: obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, social phobia, and specific phobic fears. Measures of these anxiety disorder symptoms, depressive symptoms, and looming vulnerability were administered to unselected college student population. Structural equations modeling analyses provided support for our hypothesis that LMS predicts shared variance in anxiety disorder symptoms and suggest that this cognitive style may be an overarching dimension of vulnerability to anxiety.

OxygenRemedy.org just released a new section on how people suffering from lupus can get rid of their symptoms naturally though the Oxygen Remedy breathing therapy. The Oxygen Remedy gets to the cause of many chronic diseases- a problem in the way we breathe- and its techniques are used to treat thousands of people suffering from chronic diseases.

Richard Geller, coach from OxygenRemedy.org, announced today, Millions suffer from the chronic disease lupus. Scientists havent found a definitive cure or cause for this disease. Sufferers are always in danger of another flare-up and all doctors can do is treat the symptoms. They need a therapy that will treat the cause of these symptoms and make permanent changes to their overall health. OxygenRemedy.org has decided to answer this need with its all-natural treatment for lupus symptoms.”

Geller explains, Our findings, which are backed by years of scientific research, show how people with chronic disease like lupus breathe more than healthy people. The cause for their ongoing illness is their chronic hyperventilation. By breathing too much oxygen, your body becomes unable to transport oxygen to the cells and tissues that need it. When you raise the level of CO2 in your body, you naturally breathe less and your arteries open themselves to get oxygen where it needs to go.

Geller continues, All there is out there today to treat lupus are drugs that target inflammation or suppress the immune system. These drugs have dangerous side effects and dont provide a lasting solution. What the Oxygen Remedy offers is a natural treatment that makes permanent, positive changes to the symptoms of lupus, based on breathing exercises that lead the patient to gradually raise the oxygen level of their cells and tissues. This counters inflammation and its resulting symptoms, like joint pain, fatigue, skin rashes, and the more serious symptoms that of advanced.

He says, The basis of health is healthy breathing. People with chronic illnesses like lupus breathe two to three times as much as healthy people, and this is why they have chronic inflammation and a lasting autoimmune disorder. The Oxygen Remedy can undo years of overbreathing and reset the body to its healthy breathing state. It has already helped people with grave health problems that nothing else could solve. People searching for long-term relief from their lupus symptoms will be amazed at how their symptoms disappear, without any medications.

Geller concludes, New sections are always added to the site on specific illnesses and health problems, such as cystic fibrosis, anxiety and panic disorders, and weight gain. The Oxygen Remedy therapy offers a permanent solution for people who suffer from serious, long-term diseases, or for those who would like to better their health to have more energy, lose weight, and perform better physically and mentally.

“OxygenRemedy.org is devoted to educating readers on how they can cure their illnesses without pills or huge changes to their lifestyle, simply by changing their breathing. Proven by a generation of Russian doctors, the therapy is steadily becoming mainstream in the U.S. and elsewhere and consistently more effective than traditional drug treatments. This remedy has already worked with patients with serious illnesses, including cystic fibrosis, asthma, panic disorders, sleep disorders, chronic fatigue, bipolar disorder, epilepsy, and many more. OxygenRemedy.org is proud to make this revolutionary natural cure available to the public.”

Disclaimer: OxygenRemedy.org does not diagnose or treat any disease nor suggest that you cease medical treatment. The ideas here may or may not work for specific individuals. Health can get better or worse with any treatment and decisions as to treatment are best made by the individual who can make those decisions, such as the patient, the health professionals, and/or parents. OxygenRemedy.org does not claim to cure any disease and in many cases lacks enough statistical evidence to make any such claims. Hopefully the ideas and experiences here will help you regain your health, but no assurances are made that this will happen.

The causal role of negative imagery in social anxiety: A test in confident public speakers [An article from: Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry]

This digital document is a journal article from Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental Psychiatry, published by Elsevier in 2006. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser.

Description:
This study tests the causal role of negative self-imagery in social anxiety. Low public-speaking anxious volunteers rehearsed a negative self-image, a positive self-image or a control image prior to giving a speech. As predicted, the negative image group felt more anxious, believed they performed less well and reported more negative thoughts than the positive image group. These findings do not appear to be due to changes in state anxiety, since they remained unchanged when anxiety was controlled in an analysis of covariance. The negative image group also reported more anxiety than the control group. Given that participants do not currently have anxiety problems, the findings are consistent with the idea that negative self-imagery has a causal role in the development and maintenance of social anxiety.

Discriminating between substance-induced and independent depressive episodes in alcohol dependent patients *.: An article from: Journal of Studies on Alcohol

From the author: Objective: The purpose of this study is to examine the accuracy with which the depressive episodes of alcoholics undergoing treatment are classified as substance-induced depression (SID) or independent major depressive disorder (MDD). Method: Participants were 95 patients (64 men) undergoing partial hospital treatment for alcohol dependence. Affective disorders were assessed at baseline and 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months later. Results: Over one quarter of the depressive episodes originally diagnosed as SID were reclassified as MDD during the I-year follow-up, due to a continuation of the depressive episode despite a period of prolonged abstinence from alcohol and drugs. Both history of MDD and lower levels of alcohol dependence were associated with diagnostic change from SID to MDD. Conclusions: These findings support the diagnostic complexity of these two types of depressive disorders and point to clinical features that may differentiate them. (J Stud. Alcohol 65: 672-676, 2004)
