Dr. David Priede founder and Director of BioLife Health Center and Research Director at BioLife Neuroscience in Weston, FL., examines mental, physical, and spiritual well-being as a long-term goal that everyone hopes to achieve in their lives. Unfortunately, optimal health has its limitations, and the relationship people have to their wellness can suffer from various factors. Preserving one’s health has become more crucial than ever; to accomplish this, people need to know what illnesses they are susceptible to and how to manage them. Preserving one’s health has become more crucial than ever. To accomplish this, people need to know what illnesses they are susceptible to and how to manage them.
In a new book, The Conditions Afflicting the Mind, Body, and Soul of America, Dr. David Priede and the center’s healthcare research and writers Sophia Artamendi, Thinuri Fernando, Salma Kahn, Saksha Krishnan, and Camille Ylagan educate readers about critical information on the ten most severe conditions affecting the U.S. population.
Readers will acquire a strong knowledge base about complex conditions, including drug addiction and abuse, pain management and pharmaceuticals, heart disease, stroke, cancer, mental health, suicide, dementia, diabetes, and respiratory disease. ‘The research was conducted using various reputable sources, such as governmental organizations, peer-reviewed research articles and journals, as well as medical and healthcare research and statistics,’ Ylagan explained. It ranges from causes and symptoms to treatment and prevention, where the book offers an extensive exploration into each disorder’s intricate, systemic components. ‘The information presented has the potential to save lives by not only providing information on how to identify diseases but also how and where to seek help,’ Fernando affirmed. In addition, a pandemics chapter sheds light on viral illnesses and its effects on each condition and the U.S. healthcare system. ‘Great visuals with trends, current statistics, and resources.’ Cristina Grand, PsyD concluded. The last chapter about the future of health informs readers of advancements in healthcare and medicine and how health will focus on well-being and prevention rather than treatment.
Tiziana P. Bergamini, Ph.D. noted ‘The future is uncertain, but approaching it with rationality and strategically, as Dr. Priede and his team, do is clearly the way.’ Some of the ongoing advancements that will define the future of health services include virtual healthcare, artificial intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, nanomedicine, virtual and augmented reality, 3D printing, healthcare trackers, genome sequencing, new drug development and others. Victoria Sookoo, Senior Editor for the book explained ‘The future of health will also involve a destigmatization of health conditions, such that individuals feel empowered to pursue the help and support they desire.’
A key takeaway that readers will obtain is an increased sense of confidence toward their ability to contend against the U.S.’s top illnesses. ‘The number of deaths caused by these diseases is alarming and puts into perspective the magnitude of the health problems faced by the U.S. population,’ Fernando said, as ease of access to information and increased awareness of preventative measures can play a vital role in reducing high death rates. The book is both a guide for wellness and an invitation for continued contributions to health discourse by patients, practitioners, and caregivers to frame the nation’s medical future. Robert Nolan, BSCJ commented, ‘In thorough detail, the book outlines the major mental, behavioral and health related issues with studies and scientific data explaining the impact of the challenges now and in the future.’ For the healthcare industry, confidence from the medical and scientific communities can bring additional impact to health services at large. ‘Awareness about the complexities of these health conditions can garner increased motivation towards maximizing treatment and support options for those suffering and their loved ones,’ Ylagan noted.
Readers will also consider the evolving nature of healthcare. ‘There are techniques that are arising in the health field that are much more capable of identifying diseases with a higher sensitivity and specificity,’ said Akia Dawson, Medical Editor for the book. ‘Rather than focusing on one aspect of personal wellness, medical professionals now can combine different components of healthcare to create comprehensive treatment plans that can aid physical, mental, emotional, and social health,’ Krishnan added. In addition, Marcos Levi MD stated ‘The book is an open window to start a smart conversation about options to new health challenges.’
According to Danny Sullivan, MBA the book brings ‘…increased awareness about the complexities of the U.S health conundrum can garner increased motivation towards maximizing treatment and support options.’ The general public and health industry will find the means to increase dialogue and awareness about the U.S. healthcare system’s prospects, deal with prevalent conditions, promote solutions for upcoming health challenges, and come together as a unified country in sculpting a well-informed, healthy America.
The book is available now in the U.S., U.K., Denmark, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Japan, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and India with Amazon Publishing.
