One aspect of wellness that has become clear is the interrelationship between the body, mind, and emotions, a concept that goes beyond the limited vision of allopathic medicine which views the body as functioning like a machine.
Studies have shown that a negative attitude can hinder the healing process. Often called the placebo effect, as any physician will acknowledge, it is impossible to determine whether the effect of an intervention, be it a prescription drug or a natural therapy, is due to the medicinal activity and/or its placebo response.
A positive outlook often enhances the efficacy of any treatment, including surgery. The wisest course of action in keeping well and healthy throughout life is prevention, keeping the internal environment inhospitable to disease by reinforcing the body’s instrinsic defense mechanisms and controlling the variable risk factors. Food is not only the best alternative medicine, but one of the most effective preventive measures. Scientific studies have proven that elements in food can affect health right down to the cellular level.
With this study, Vanderbilt professor Barsky follows up Noam Chomsky: A Life of Dissent, his first expositionary volume on the octogenarian MIT linguist-cum-political writer. It focuses on how Chomsky's political writings-often published in small venues and in reaction to developing events-get disseminated and used throughout the world. The result is an indirect approach to a compelling subject, namely: what are Chomsky's politics, and what broader lessons can be drawn from them? Barsky begins by defining what he calls "The Chomsky Effect," whereby Chomsky's ideas get distorted and argued about in degraded form, whether by bolsterers or naysayers, resulting not only in bad arguments, but in undeserved infamy for Chomsky.
