A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2021 • From New York Times bestselling author Eleanor Henderson comes a turbulent love story meets harrowing medical mystery: the true story of the author’s twenty-year marriage defined by her husband’s chronic illness—and a testament to the endurance of love Eleanor met Aaron when she was just a teenager and he was working at a local record stored—older, experienced, and irresistibly charming. Escaping the clichés of fleeting young love, their summer romance bloomed into a relationship that survived college and culminated in a marriage and two children. From the outside looking in, their life had all the trappings of what most would consider a success story. But, as in any marriage, things weren’t always as they seemed. On top of the typical stresses of parenting, money, and work, there were the untended wounds of depression, addiction, and childhood trauma. And then one day, out of nowhere: a rash appeared on Aaron’s arms. Soon, it had morphed into painful lesions covering his body. Eleanor was as baffled as the doctors. There was no obvious diagnosis, let alone a cure. And as years passed and the lesions gave way to Aaron’s increasingly disturbed concerns about the source of his sickness, the husband she loved seemed to unravel before her eyes. A new fissure ruptured in their marriage, and new questions piled onto old ones: Where does physical illness end and mental illness begin? Where does one person end and another begin? And how do we exist alongside someone else’s suffering? Emotional, intimate, and at times agonizing, Everything I Have Is Yours tells the story of a marriage tested by powerful forces outside both partners’ control. It’s not only a memoir of a wife’s tireless quest to heal her husband, but also one that asks just what it means to accept someone as they are.

MORGELLONS, THE FIBER DISEASE...DOCTORS ARE QUICK TO SAY THAT THOSE WHO SUFFER FROM THIS BIZARRE DISEASE ARE DELUSIONAL, BUT ITS VICTIMS KNOW IT IS HORRIFYINGLY REAL! The victims say "It feels like bugs are crawling under their skin!" It has struck all across the globe with horrifying symptoms that seem to be ripped straight from the pages of a horror novel. The disease is called Morgellons, and it seems to have appeared out of nowhere and is rapidly spreading with a speed and ferocity that has left its victims shocked and helpless. Those who have contracted Morgellons complain of the same symptoms, yet doctors insist that the disease is actually the product of a mentally unbalanced mind. Sufferers first notice a strange feeling as if bugs are crawling and biting just under their skin. More terrifying are the weird sores that sprout thread-like fibers that almost seem to be alive. Tests reveal that the mysterious fibers infects every part of the body, skin, muscle, bone, even the brain. Those unlucky enough to have caught Morgellons are left helpless, ignored, and worse yet, labeled with the stigma of mental illness to explain away their sickness. Even the famous Mayo Clinic has announced that Morgellons is not real and those who suffer from its symptoms should be ignored because it is ALL IN THEIR HEADS! Nevertheless, the authors of this book know that Morgellons is all too real, only the true causes and origins of this disease remain shrouded in mystery. RIGHT NOW WE ONLY HAVE THEORIES ON WHAT MORGELLONS ACTUALLY IS: * Is it a natural disease that has been with us all along? * Is it a man-made disease that has somehow escaped from a lab? * Is it biological warfare, nanotechnology, or a terrorist attack? * Is it an extraterrestrial pathogen that has managed to root itself upon planet Earth after traveling inconceivable distances from outer space? The authors of this book are not afraid to ask the tough questions about Morgellons, as they examine all theories and facts that are currently available about this mysterious ailment. Updated in 2011, no stone is left unturned in the attempt to find out what is really going on with those who suffer from Morgellons. Even though most doctors have turned their backs on Morgellons victims, there is hope that the facts about this mystifying disease will soon be discovered and effective, permanent treatments will become available to stop the rampage of the Morgellons horror.

Over the past forty years, the health humanities, previously called the medical humanities, has emerged as one of the most exciting fields for interdisciplinary scholarship, advancing humanistic inquiry into bioethics, human rights, health care, and the uses of technology. It has also helped inspire medical practitioners to engage in deeper reflection about the human elements of their practice. In Health Humanities Reader, editors Therese Jones, Delese Wear, and Lester D. Friedman have assembled fifty-four leading scholars, educators, artists, and clinicians to survey the rich body of work that has already emerged from the field—and to imagine fresh approaches to the health humanities in these original essays. The collection’s contributors reflect the extraordinary diversity of the field, including scholars from the disciplines of disability studies, history, literature, nursing, religion, narrative medicine, philosophy, bioethics, medicine, and the social sciences. With warmth and humor, critical acumen and ethical insight, Health Humanities Reader truly humanizes the field of medicine. Its accessible language and broad scope offers something for everyone from the experienced medical professional to a reader interested in health and illness.

From personal loss to phantom diseases, The Empathy Exams is a bold and brilliant collection, winner of the Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize A Publishers Weekly Top Ten Essay Collection of Spring 2014 Beginning with her experience as a medical actor who was paid to act out symptoms for medical students to diagnose, Leslie Jamison's visceral and revealing essays ask essential questions about our basic understanding of others: How should we care about each other? How can we feel another's pain, especially when pain can be assumed, distorted, or performed? Is empathy a tool by which to test or even grade each other? By confronting pain—real and imagined, her own and others'—Jamison uncovers a personal and cultural urgency to feel. She draws from her own experiences of illness and bodily injury to engage in an exploration that extends far beyond her life, spanning wide-ranging territory—from poverty tourism to phantom diseases, street violence to reality television, illness to incarceration—in its search for a kind of sight shaped by humility and grace.

IS GLOBAL GENOCIDE NEAR? A MAJOR PORTION OF THE WORLD'S POPULATION COULD BE RAPIDLY EXTERMINATED BY AN INTERNATIONAL CABAL DETERMINED TO PUT A NAIL IN THE COFFIN OF HUMANKIND! THE LETHAL "MORGELLONS DISEASE" OR A NUCLEAR ATTACK USING THE UNSTABLE SUBSTANCE "RED MERCURY" COULD PLACE YOU SIX FEET UNDER! Everyday life was already fraught with danger and uncertainty, but there are several new threats to your survival that you probably know nothing about. A disease called Morgellons exists that the medical community refuses to even acknowledge is real. If you experience the terrifying symptoms - the sensation of bugs crawling beneath your skin, painful wounds that open up for no apparent reason and start to expel strange, cotton-like fibers - don't expect your family physician to help you! Even the rich and famous get turned away with a diagnosis of mental, not physical illness. When folksinger, Joni Mitchell, was hospitalized for what was, at the time, an undisclosed reason, not even Joni was spared the stigma of having complained of Morgellons symptoms for which no cure was offered By medical professionals. The former intelligence operative known only as Commander X has studied Morgellons keeping abreast of all the latest developments. Where did the disease originate? Commander X covers every angle, including the possibility that it entered the Earth zone by piggy backing on a meteorite. He also considers the notion that it is a man made disease being spread by the New World Order or some unidentified international cabal that is aided by a conspiracy of silence among the medical community. A MYSTERIOUS SUBSTANCE COULD WASTE HUMANITY IN A SINGLE BLOW! The CIA says it doesn't exist. Terrorists and rogue nations have offered to pay millions of dollars to procure it. Scientists fear its lethal potential. Red Mercury when exploded creates tremendous heat and pressure sufficient to trigger a fusion device such a mini-neutron bomb. Red Mercury could be concealed in something as small as a lunch box yet have unimaginable lethal force when detonated. The late physicist Sam Cohen, the father of the neutron bomb, publicly stated his belief that Red Mercury is a real-world substance and one we should logically fear. Now you can read the results of years of investigation into the Red Mercury mystery. The truth will chill you to the bone and cast a shadow over whatever vestiges of trust for the government might lurk in your conspiracy-wearied brain. We offer you two books one one, as well as the possibility that being forewarned really will help you to be forearmed! "Those interested in the latest conspiracies will find this a real treat. These are conspiracies that are verifiable and have credibility, " states the Conspiracy Journal, a weekly on line newsletter.

The highly contagious Morgellons disease is caused by a fungus. It can be transmitted by air; contact with an infected area; and contact with infected person, pet, farm animal, wildlife, or insect. It has been undiagnosed or misdiagnose as shingle, Lyme disease, fibromyalgia, herpes, eczema, plaque psoriasis, AIDS, cold sores, Candida auris, and more. Its spread has been largely unimpeded due to the medical community's refusal to acknowledge what is right in front of them.
