Zander on Passive Aggression The world is filled with wordless communications. I’m not thinking here about broad smiles that boost confidence or winks that signal thumbs up -- I have in mind another type of message. Picture if you will -- rolled eyes, deep sighs, impatient facial expressions, raised eyebrows, tapping fingers and even tongue clucks. These are a mere sampling of the many ways we impart not-so-nice feelings and thoughts without saying a word. Daily Health News contributor and life coach Lauren Zander calls such communications "the unsaid." She explains that "many people have a commentary going on in their heads all the time that they try to keep hidden, yet it leaks out in a surprising variety of physical ways." The Up-front Agent and the Other Zander explains that the unsaid has to do with the two parts everyone has -- the external part that she calls the "agent" and the inner part that she calls the "double agent." The agent does the talking and generally wants to be perceived as nice and likable and definitely does not want to provoke or take part in confrontations. However, the "double agent" holds a strong place, too. This is the part of a person that mutters silently about his or her real thoughts and feelings and often describes things in terms that are nowhere near as kind as the ones verbalized to the world. Here’s an example that you may recognize from your own life. Say you ask your partner to do a common chore, maybe take the car in for an oil change, and he says fine... not a problem... will do it tomorrow. But let’s say you know from experience that "tomorrow’s" oil change is very unlikely to happen and that once again you will be stuck with the responsibility. Now you have two choices -- you can confront your partner about his previous lack of follow-through and the unhappiness it has caused... or you might say "Okay, sure" and then roll your eyes or shrug your shoulders a bit dramatically, or you might say nothing but just walk away. Your body signals have now negated the words that you said and revealed your true feelings of exasperation and resignation. Real communication has hit the wall and the result is you’ve made your partner a "bad guy." A Slippery Slope The first step off this slippery slope is to look not at the other person but at yourself, says Zander. What are you doing when you send out your unsaid thoughts and the feelings that lie behind them? Are you secretly feeling sheepish, angry, volatile or resigned? Chances are good that if you are like most people, you have no idea that you’re sending these signals. An excellent way to explore your physical expressions, she says, is simply to ask the people in your life to describe them for you. If you have kids, they can tell you immediately what you do -- remember how you knew instantly that your mom was mad by, perhaps, the way she stiffened her back or raised one eyebrow? Some things don’t change. So ask your kids or spouse about what funny body "tics" you have and what those tics mean to them. Note: You have to be sure not to take it personally when/if they give you a truthful answer. Just take it as the information you are seeking. Decoding the Other Of course, sometimes, like Freud’s cigars, a sigh really is just a sigh and it might convey nothing more than a bit of fatigue. As you work on your awareness about your own verbal tics, you will become more conscious of the ones you make that are silent criticism versus those that are meaningless in the greater context. This will help you increase sensitivity to the verbal tics of the other person as well. At some point, though, it is crucial to ask if he or she is willing to tackle the "unsaid" problem together. The idea is for you both to transform all those silent messages into spoken ones, thus turning them into honest and fruitful communication. The major leap that you will have to make to get this conversation going is to actually take your partner’s word over yours, since these tics tend to be blind spots, and the truth is that our own dynamics are hard to own. Basically, you have to ask someone to see something you can’t. It happens to us all. Once you’re ready, Zander has specific suggestions about how to make this conversation a success. Of course it will require tact and timing. Drawing heavily on both, here is how she says to go about it... - Wait for a peaceful time in your relationship when you are not fighting and there is no fight on the horizon. This will allow you to have a conversation that’s relatively anxiety-free.
- Let the other person know that this is a conversation that comes from love and a desire to add to both the other person’s happiness and the quality of your relationship together.
- Ask permission to point out the other person’s unsaid signals as he or she is making them and to ask on the spot what they mean. Be sure when doing this that you are neither accusatory nor judgmental -- your positive attitude will keep the conversation from turning into a fight that would include further hostile signals.
- Remember to ask what you do that may be irritating and at times even infuriating to the other person -- and be willing to discuss those things as well.
Reaching the Goal If you are able to help each other through this conversation, it can totally change the locked-in positions that work their way into relationships. "Working on this together is a brilliant way to stop a negative dynamic," says Zander. "Instead of getting mad about those silent signals, you can have fun catching yourself and each other as it’s happening. It is all about understanding the other person, and in no way is it about right or wrong. By taking that aspect out of it, it becomes a form of play between two people who are now on the same team." 
Drug-Free Treatment Reverses Even Bone-on-Bone Arthritis... "Bone-on-bone" is the term doctors use for the last agonizing stage of arthritis. Your cartilage is totally ground away. Steroids and supplements are pointless. Alice was told her only hope was total knee replacement. Yet thanks to a brilliant physician, she skipped the surgery and feels like new. That's right. Alice licked "bone-on-bone" arthritis without surgery or drugs. And she did so with astonishing speed. In fact, not long after seeing this doctor, she left on a three-week shopping vacation -- then returned to the doctor's office with gifts for the entire staff and pronounced herself pain-free!

What Your Eyes Reveal We had such a strong reader response to our January 20, 2011 story Your Eyes and Your Health, that we decided to do a follow-up on the clues to your health that you can see in your own two eyes. This time, we went to ophthalmologist Thomas Steinemann, MD, with the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Cleveland’s MetroHealth Medical Center, for further insight about our eyesight... In fact, there are a good number of important health issues that the eyes can reveal either as overt symptoms or in changes detected in eye exams, says Dr. Steinemann. When I spoke with him, he said that some problems manifested in the eyes are relatively common, but there also are others that are alarming and possibly even dangerous. He told me the story of a woman who had always been in great health. She went to her ophthalmologist every year for a vision checkup. At her last exam, she was startled when her eye doctor said that she should see her regular physician to check for high blood pressure. The woman had had no idea there was a problem, but she followed through and discovered that yes, indeed, she had developed high blood pressure. What was it that tipped her eye doctor off? Simple -- as he examined her eyes, the doctor saw that blood vessels behind them had narrowed, nearly always a clear warning signal. Here are a number of other symptoms and what they mean... - A small blind spot in your vision with shimmering lights or wavy lines. Surprisingly, this frightening symptom is usually a form of migraine -- surprising because it often does not include a headache. Called ocular migraine or migraine aura, the blind spot with sparkling edges continues to expand for 20 to 30 minutes, after which it starts to resolve on its own at about the same pace. It can also manifest as flashes of light, zigzagging patterns, multiple blind spots or shimmering stars -- even temporary vision loss in one eye. People who have had this happen once will recognize their precise symptoms and know they will self-resolve. But Dr. Steinemann says that for anyone experiencing the above symptoms for the first time, it is important to let your doctor know both to calm your own anxiety -- and on the off chance it might be something else such as a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA or mini-stroke) or even a detached retina. If you have never had these symptoms before and they last more than a few minutes, you should contact your ophthalmologist or go to the ER.
- Yellowish, bumpy patches on the upper and lower lids. Called xanthelasma palpebra, these are small fatty deposits that likely indicate high cholesterol. They appear as multiple deposits lying within the skin of the lid, but unlike styes, they are not red or tender, do not erupt acutely and do not show up at the base of the lashes. Having these patches means it’s time to check out your cholesterol levels.
- Red eyes with swollen lids. Airborne allergens are highly recognizable with all their obvious symptoms -- sneezing and coughing and eyes that are red and itchy. But if your only symptoms are redness and swelling around the eyes, it’s a signal that you are probably allergic to something you are using in or near your eyes, such as a cosmetic or ointment. Review all suspicious products to isolate the offending product and, of course, get rid of it.
- A bump or pigmented spot on the lid. This could be skin cancer, and if the bump or spot has a brown color, it may be melanoma, a highly dangerous cancer. Those who need to be most wary include older adults and fair-skinned individuals who have blue or green eyes. Not wearing sunglasses or prescription eyeglasses with UV protection also raises one’s risk. Melanoma can also develop on the outer surface of the eyeball, the iris, inside the eye and even in the back of the eye under the retina. The good news: If detected early with a doctor’s scope called an ophthalmoloscope, prompt treatment and careful monitoring of the melanoma make it definitely survivable today.
- Blurred vision in people with diabetes. This can be a symptom of uncontrolled blood sugar or diabetic retinopathy, a slow but progressive disorder involving damage to blood vessels in the retina. If left unchecked, it eventually causes blindness. In the early stages, diabetic retinopathy usually does not have symptoms. As the disease progresses, blood leaking into the eye from damaged vessels can make the macula swell and cause blurred vision. Dr. Steinemann notes that when blood sugar spikes and drops, it poses a major threat to the circulation in the retina. Consequently the best way to protect your vision if you have diabetes is through careful control of your blood sugar.
These are just some of the conditions that your eyes can reveal, all the more reason to have regular eye checkups. Source(s): Thomas L.

Erase Tumors in 2 Months "Within two months, every tumor had shrunk, dried up and fallen off," said Tom to Dr. Gary Null about the miraculous disappearance of his rapidly spreading cancer. Tom had already gone through surgery once for skin cancer on his forehead. Unfortunately, his skin cancer was melanoma. Just 10 days after the operation, the cancer was back with a vengeance. It reappeared on his forehead, and quickly spread to his arm, upper body and chest. Four doctors all agreed: There was nothing they could do to cure this cancer. They all still wanted to operate. But Tom wanted to live -- not just get sliced up. Read on to learn what Tom did to save his life...
Be well,
