This book is a story of rebirth: four addicts, three men and one woman, who learn how to live without drugs and alcohol, one day at a time.
In order to escape addiction, they chose an American therapeutic method, the Minnesota Model. A method based on mutual aid that has been used for decades around the world with great success.
However, the method has yet to gain acceptance and become widespread in France, where the medical world has been unable to solve the problem of addiction.
Today, these four former addicts have become therapists, specialising in the field of addiction. Their goal: care for those who are suffering through the same ordeal that they had. Who better than an addict to help another addict overcome the evils of alcohol, prescription and illicit drugs, an behavioural addictions (work, gambling, screens, sport, food, sex), and get back on the path of life.

It is a powerful message of hope about a journey too often littered with failure, relapse, doubts and sometimes even suicidal thoughts. A metamorphosis founded upon spirituality, like a rite of passage, during which we learn the strength and determination of these men and women who all had believed they were doomed forever but who managed to rebuilt their lives, one day at a time.

Este volumen está dedicado a todas las personas interesadas por esta enfermedad, a los enfermos, a su entorno y a los profesionales de la salud. Paralelamente a la versión oficial, existe una versión psicosomática que se ha ido imponiendo con el análisis de la historia de los individuos afectados. Todos los puntos importantes se encuentran aquí detallados así como la conclusión de este amplio estudio sobre esclerosis múltiple. Sí, la esclerosis múltiple es accesible a la Psicosomática Clínica como lo atestiguan muchas personas diagnosticadas que han mejorado claramente o se han curado. La piedra angular psicosomática está constituida por la demostración de una lógica general, desarrollada aquí punto por punto. Varios elementos concretos la definen:

1 - Las circunstancias ligadas al acontecimiento y sobre todo a las emociones que producen el primer brote y los siguientes -el desencadenamiento de los síntomas. Todas están estrechamente ligadas a unos resentires concretos: desplazamiento, verticalidad, desvalorización, separación, miedo frontal y tiroides.


2 - La noción fundamental de la programación de esta enfermedad basada en dos elementos: el Proyecto Sentido Gestacional en cierta medida y el Transgeneracional en la gran mayoría de los casos analizados. Así pues, la historia familiar a lo largo de varias generaciones constituiría por sí sola el punto central y es lo que permite explicar la dinámica de instauración de todos los síntomas específicos. Su característica principal es la existencia de un Síndrome del Yaciente, la reparación transgeneracional automática de un fallecimiento injustificado/injustificable.

Los ejemplos clínicos detallados así como los capítulos dedicados a la terapéutica-consejos, técnicas y bloqueos-permitirán a cada individuo iniciar su propio camino hacia la mejoría o la curación de su enfermedad. Dr Salomon Sellam Read more Close

Forests and forestry in temperate regions face what may appear to be contradictory goals: to increase atmospheric carbon capture through sequestration in biomass and soils, while providing a growing share of the resources needed to produce essential material goods and energy for human societies as well as gradually renewing forests to enable them to adapt to future climate conditions. INRAE and IGN, at the request of the French Ministries responsible for agriculture and forestry, have jointly undertaken a scientific assessment to shed light on the details of this debate.
