No More Losers!

How many millions take the vow of food abstinence on January 1st? How many millions give up shortly after the first? There is little doubt that Americans have gotten fat and that obesity is a major health issue confronting today’s youth. The age of high calorie fast foods combined with the sedentary life style of the ‘joystick’ must be a boon to the clothing industry as people need ever increasingly larger sizes of clothes.

It is estimated that 95% of all diet plans fail. Those New Year resolutions sound great but most of the crash diet programs never work and many can actually make you ill. One of the key issues with dieting is that the fixation on weight loss actually results in frequent weight gain. The focus upon food creates a mental trap since that mindset keeps you thinking about wanting more food. It is the idea that form follows thought. Aside from the hundreds of fad diets that make will the covers of tabloids and talk shows, there are even more books that will offer some kind of miracle program for you to lose weight. What is the consumer to do?

There is a new book out by Linda Walker called, NO MORE LOSERS: A BOLD NEW APPROACH TO ACHIEVING THE BODY YOU’VE ALWAYS WANTED. Is this just another diet book that makes promises that cannot be kept? It would appear not. In fact, in the foreword it says, “This is not a diet book. You won’t find some new-fangled diet plan that promises magical results.” The author says, “I know what it’s like to go from one diet to the next. I’d lose and I’d gain. I’d lose more and then get that back and more. I was so good at this yo-yo dieting that it virtually became my lifestyle. It wasn’t until I’d finally begun to suffer from increasingly serious health complications due to my weight that I was alarmed enough to search for a real answer to my weight problem.”

Did the author find a new pill that would bring salvation? No. Did she find a new miracle food that would melt those extra pounds away in just two weeks? No. Did she discover come new vitamin that she will offer to you at a bargain price that will shed those unwanted pounds? No. What Linda Walker discovered is what she terms, “CLICK-ON” to weight REDUCTION. She says that you do not go into ‘lose weight mode’ but rather ‘reduction mode.’ In this method you ‘click-on’ a mental switch “that lets you break free from the bad habits of a lifetime and gives you total control over your mind and body.”

In NO MORE LOSERS, Linda takes you through her life’s journey and constant struggle with her weight. She recalls the upbringing that insisted that you eat everything on your plate, the system of sweets for rewards, and then the constant taunts and cruel remarks of her school mates. And now, after ‘reducing’ her weight by 100 pounds, she says that this was done without pills and without giving up any of her favorite foods. She says, “I haven’t counted one calorie or fat gram. And the best part of all is knowing that I will never get back any of that unwanted weight ever again!” What is the key to this “simple 10 step (minus one) approach? The key is understanding the difference of two simple words: “losing” and ‘reducing.”

With chapter headings such as, STOP LOSING AND START WINNING, STOP EXCUSING AND START REDUCING and STOP THE BAD AND START THE GOOD, you quickly see that this is not a new diet fad but rather a life approach that results in permanent weight reduction and not weight loss. Keep one thing in mind, when a person ‘loses’ something, the first thing they try to do is to find it. When you ‘reduce’ something, you create an entirely new way of thinking that will alter your life and your health.

NO MORE LOSERS is written by LINDA WALKER and published by ALL THINGS THAT MATTER PRESS. It is also available on Amazon.com in both print and Kindle Edition and as an E-Book from Mobipocket. 150 pages, $14.99.

Praying the Heart of David by Elmer Towns

Discover the Comfort, Peace, and Unfailing Love of God through David’s Prayers

“Praying the Heart of David,” conveys the sense of awesome wonder and the deep feeling of worship expressed in the reverent prayers of King David. This is another in the “Praying the Scriptures Series” by Golden Medallion winner, Elmer Towns.

The book is based on prayers taken from First and Second Samuel and First Chronicles. It is filled with a look into the significance of the life of Samuel on Israel’s history as judge, prophet, and as a recorder of an important season in that history. Dr. Towns unfolds spiritual lessons on listening to the voice of God through prayer and worship. He describes the patience of God as seen through Samuel’s life and in his writing.

Towns probes deeply into the person and motive of Saul. He shows how the power of sin and demonic influence changed Saul from a meek and humble young man to a selfish and mean despot. Saul’s disobedience parallels the way we often rebel against God’s Word today. Dr. Towns illustrates how Saul’s sinful offences are an example of the pattern, progression and cycle of remorse, confession, and repentance. This illustration is typical of the many personal applications included throughout the book.

David is described as complex, sometimes compassionate, tender, and generous, and “a man after God’s own heart.” David’s life communicates the care and gentleness of a shepherd as evidenced in the beloved 23rd Psalm.
He was also shown as being fierce in battle and scheming in his double sin with Uriah and Bathsheba.

The book details the life of David, the slaying of Goliath, his friendship with Jonathan, Saul’s jealousy, Samuel’s anointing, and of the death of Absalom. Interspersed within the narrative (Towns own paraphrase of these scriptures) are the prayers of David from the Psalms.

David’s anguish, desperation, and complete trust and love for God come to life as Towns brilliantly makes it possible for the reader to transcend time and place as they experience and share in David’s presence with God through prayer. David’s victory celebrations, family disappointments, his spiritual failure, sin and confession all become real to the reader. Bringing the reader to a sense of conviction of personal sin and to a recognition of the amazing grace of God’s forgiveness are an indication of God’s anointing on Dr. Town’s writing.

“Praying the Heart of David” provides evidence of the power of God given to David as a result of his persistence in prayer and worship. The reader is encouraged to use David’s prayers as a guide to move forward in their pursuit of becoming “a man after God’s own heart.”

Praying the Heart of David by Elmer Towns

"Multiple Personality Disorder is an Individually and Socially Created Artifact" by Paul R. McHugh

Debating against the existence of the controversial issue of multiple personalities in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychology, 1995, author Paul McHugh concludes that the DSM’s (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) current diagnosis of Multiple Personality Disorders (now referred to as Disassociative Identity Disorder) should not, and he predicts will not, survive long enough to make it into future editions.

McHugh’s major points of argument are that the DSM is flawed because Multiple Personality Disorder isn’t a legitimate disorder; rather it’s an “individually and socially created artifact”. He isn’t denying the existence of the patient’s emotional troubles, but he believes that they have been misdiagnosed and led down the wrong therapeutic path. McHugh urges us to learn from a past analogous historical example-Hysteria, and even goes as far as to challenge the contenders of Multiple Personality Disorder to test the null hypothesis, as did Babinski in the referenced historical example.

McHugh’s first major premise is the therapist’s responsibility regarding the power of labeling vulnerable and emotionally suggestible patients. The first subpremise is that patients such as these tend to live out the label; a phenomenon known as “The Pygmalion Effect”, in which people live out others expectations of them, especially expectations of them that are held by others in positions of authority. The second subpremise is that such an extreme diagnosis allows patients to assume and exploit the sick role for its potential benefits, such as special treatment, attention, and relief from responsibility. The third subpremise is that the mistaken diagnosis obscures the patient’s real problem and wastes the patient’s time and money.

McHugh’s second premise is that we shouldn’t waste the lesson that was learned nearly a century ago when Jean-Martin Charcot’s student, Joseph Babinski, brought the null hypothesis regarding Charcot’s misdiagnosis of Hysteria, asserting that the women in question instead had behavioral disorders. McHugh’s subpremise is the example of how Babinski found that once the women were removed from the conditions fostering the misdiagnosis, and treated with “isolation and countersuggestion”, their real problems could finally be addressed.

McHugh’s third premise, based on his own replication of Babinski’s “isolation and countersuggestion” technique at John Hopkins with Multiple Personality Disorder patients sent there as a last resort, is that we should apply what we learned from history and give up the psychological fad of multiple personalities. The first subpremise is to change the Multiple Personality Disorder label to “abnormal illness behavior”, remove the patients from therapy with prior Multiple Personality Disorder supportive therapists, and disregard attempts of communication by “alter” personalities. Only in this case can the patients genuine issues be treated. McHugh’s second subpremise is his challenge to Multiple Personality Disorder proponents to reject his null hypothesis.

McHugh makes valid and coherent observations in his argument that Multiple Personality Disorder, as a clinical diagnosis, is an individually and socially constructed phenomenon that is not helping the afflicted. The main premises interdependently relate to one and other, and the premises relate to and support the conclusion.
