Wie Hunger oder Durst ist Müdigkeit ein Mechanismus unseres Körpers, der uns am Leben hält und vor Überforderung bewahrt. Wenn der Schlaf jedoch keine Erholung mehr bringt, erfahren wir ein anderes Müdesein. Eines, das wir als krank machend empfinden und dessen Auslöser wir oft nicht identifizieren können. Dr. med. Anne Fleck hat die heimlichen Ursachen für andauernde Müdigkeit unter die Lupe genommen: Unentdeckte Infektionen, übersehene Stoffwechselstörungen, Nahrungsmittelintoleranzen, kranke Zellen oder Umwelttoxine können an unserer Leistungsfähigkeit zehren.

Untreated or misdiagnosed pain is an epidemic among children. Nearly one out of every five children in the United States suffers chronic pain, while 30 to 40 percent of children over age twelve report feeling some form of pain in any given week. Yet only a small fraction of children receive appropriate treatment, increasing the risk that they will struggle with pain later in life. But, as Rachel Rabkin Peachman and Anna Wilson show, if we give pain the attention it deserves early in life, we can minimize short-term distress and halt the development of long-term chronic pain problems.

Research over the last few decades shows that many of us – sufferers of chronic pain and health practitioners alike – are victims of a trick of the nervous system. Where we believe that pain has its root in a damaged body, it is the brain that prolongs the hurting after the body has healed. Paul Biegler, a science journalist and former doctor who has been on his own pain journey, investigates the true source of chronic pain – our brain’s so-called neuroplasticity – and emerging therapies that take advantage of that neuroplasticity to rewire the brain and end the suffering.
