A Discourse on the Plague

Richard Mead

Sinopse

Richard Mead's "A Discourse on the Plague" presents a meticulous examination of the bubonic plague, intertwining empirical observations with philosophical reflections on disease and health. Written in the early 18th century, Mead employs a blend of didactic prose and medical treatise, illustrating the socio-political and cultural ramifications of outbreaks. His work is positioned within the burgeoning field of public health and reflects the Enlightenment's emphasis on reason and observation, making it a critical contribution to the understanding of pandemics and their societal impacts. Richard Mead, a prominent physician of his time, was influenced by the scientific advancements of the early modern era and the palpable fear surrounding epidemic diseases. His practical experience in medicine, alongside his classical education, equipped him to address not merely the biological facets of the plague but also its broader societal implications. Mead's expert knowledge allowed him to build upon the existing medical literature while advocating for rational public health measures. This book is a compelling read for anyone interested in the historical context of epidemics and their enduring relevance. Mead's eloquent style and comprehensive insights make it an indispensable text for scholars of public health and history, as well as for general readers seeking a deeper understanding of humanity's enduring battle with infectious diseases.

Sleep better with hypnosis

Dr. Nidal Moughrabi, Bobby Cole,...

Who is this hypnosis for:- If you have difficulty falling asleep- or you wake up frequently over the night- or your sleep is simply not restful enough- or you can sleep only with medication and would like a more natural solution… this hypnosis will help.This hypnosis is an easy, gentle way to prepare for falling asleep. At the same time, it will help you experience a deep, restful, regenerating sleep.How it works:So many of us are affected these days by sleeping troubles.Unfortunately, this is bound to be: our world is fast, overloaded with information and constantly stimulated by screens. Thus, our brains are overly activated and less acquainted with the state of non-activity.This "monkey mind" is what keeps us away from a good sleep. Over the night, our brains keep on being busy solving problems. Moreover, our bodies cannot have a good, regenerative rest either – did you notice how an agitated mind matches and agitated body?Fortunately, methods based on hypnosis are very effective.While in themselves, they are very relaxing (4 time stronger than sleep), when specific suggestions for taking a break from thoughts and slipping into a profound, regenerative sleep are added, our mind and body finally gets the break it needs.This is what this 28 min hypnosis does.Play it after you have already laid down in bed and found a comfortable position so that you can easily fall asleep during it or after it ends.My recommendation is to use it for 3 days in a row and feel if it works for you. If it does, continue. The more you do it, the easier it will become for you to relax and fall asleep.Disclaimer:The products sold here do not replace medical or psychological therapy. Please take your time when listening to the audio downloads and stop doing anything else that might distract you, e.g., don't use them while working or driving a car.ENJOY!Yours Dr. Nidal MoughrabiLife-Coach, MDHypnotherapy, NLP and Meditation Training
