In this book, entitled The Missing Mind of Hippocrates, I have addressed spiritual, philosophical, mystical and scientific fact. To demonstrate that we are spending our time in vain in seeking ways to extend our survival in leading research on invisible molecules and showing invalid scenario. The problem is elsewhere. I would not like to address these issues. If generally we can consider ourselves as the sole body, the association of knowledge about the beliefs would help doctors to prevent and cure many diseases without great efforts. Some characters as spiritual,administrative, political, sociocultural and medical must be involved in this matter. Let us forget our religious, philosophical, cultural or ethnic affiliation. Learn the truth, compassion, meditate,transcend and we will influence our survival and our responsibility. Human beings have lost their viability to 1 and 12%? Here, you can see the average of our wellness through the connection of the seven dimensions of wellness (physical, emotional,intellectual, environmental, social, spiritual and transcendental) to transpersonal tips (awareness, pity, truth, motivation, wisdom, personal transformation). The world is working to reduce the mortality rate and increase survival and life expectancy,without taking this aspect into account. We are at risk of being all of us under the average age of maturity, from the ever life, eternity, 2000 years, 1000 years, 500 years, 250 years, 150years, and 100 years to 50 years of age as a life expectancy at this century. There was an original gene (GENE-U), mutated to molecular gene (master of life expectancy). Each century, molecular genes undergo multiple transformations in its mystical correlation to GENE-U. Life expectancy will fall to 30, 20, 10, 5 and 0 and human life of our race will disappear to leave life to new species of human-being, probably with a new GENE-U. At this point we can claim the end of the world, not gratuitously to prophesise through different phenomena. This is a paganism which put the world a complicated situation. Finally I conclude that the end of the world is when the expectancy life reaches the biological immature age, however humans become unable to reproduce and take care of others. A child can live only for determined times and pass on. What will remain? What about Homo erectus, Homo habilis, Homo sapiens? Why not HOMO XXXX? In this book, there is truth and controversies about transpersonal studies applied in clinical trials, these were conducted using statistical methodology. Meditation is a master our well-being.

Hippocrates is a towering figure in Greek medicine. Dubbed the 'father of medicine', he has inspired generations of physicians over millennia in both the East and West. Despite this, little is known about him, and scholars have long debated his relationship to the works attributed to him in the so-called 'Hippocratic Corpus', although it is undisputed that many of the works within it represent milestones in the development of Western medicine. In this Companion, an international team of authors introduces major themes in Hippocratic studies, ranging from textual criticism and the 'Hippocratic question' to problems such as aetiology, physiology and nosology. Emphasis is given to the afterlife of Hippocrates from Late Antiquity to the modern period. Hippocrates had as much relevance in the fifth-century BC Greek world as in the medieval Islamic world, and he remains with us today in both medical and non-medical contexts.

The reader is given a concept of the life and times when Hippocrates lived. The professions and trades during Hippocrates time are described as well as the early education of youth in ancient Greece. Medicines were not based on science but on driving evil spirits from the body. Hippocrates' scientific approach to the study and treatment of disease has deservedly earned for him the title 'Father of Medicine". He was born on the island of Cos in 460 B.C., and his works remained for centuries the foundation of medical and biographical knowledge. In addition, it was Hippocrates' daring approach to the problems of sickness and disease that drove the opening wedge into the wall of fear that surrounded human ills. Hippocrates' scrupulous attention to professional ethics is honored even to this day by the medical oath that bears his name-'The Hippocratic Oath". 'Desperate diseases need desperate remedies". 'One man's meat is another man's poison"-these well known sayings by Hippocrates were a direct attack on human suffering. Hippocrates also wrote books on epidemics and stressed the importance of diet in combating them.

This book is available as open access through the Knowledge Unlatched programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. We need to talk about Hippocrates. Current scholarship attributes none of the works of the 'Hippocratic corpus' to him, and the ancient biographical traditions of his life are not only late, but also written for their own promotional purposes. Yet Hippocrates features powerfully in our assumptions about ancient medicine, and our beliefs about what medicine – and the physician himself – should be. In both orthodox and alternative medicine, he continues to be a model to be emulated. This book will challenge widespread assumptions about Hippocrates (and, in the process, about the history of medicine in ancient Greece and beyond) and will also explore the creation of modern myths about the ancient world. Why do we continue to use Hippocrates, and how are new myths constructed around his name? How do news stories and the internet contribute to our picture of him? And what can this tell us about wider popular engagements with the classical world today, in memes, 'quotes' and online?

For many centuries in ancient history, people believed illnesses were handed down by the gods. In the fifth century BCE, a Greek physician named Hippocrates changed that attitude. He began looking for natural causes of illnesses. Many of his treatment methods seem primitive. For example, he performed brain surgery by drilling into a patient's skull with a sharp piece of wood. There were no anesthetics. It was a very painful procedure. In other ways his methods have held up surprisingly well. Like modern doctors, Hippocrates emphasized the value of a good diet and plenty of exercise. He also used maggots, leeches, and bees to treat his patients. All three of these creatures are still being used by doctors even in the United States. Because of his efforts, today Hippocrates is known as the Father of Medicine.
