Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In 1784 the son of a Korean envoy was baptized in Beijing and carried the books home. There were no missionaries in Korea. There would be none for eleven years. In the meantime a handful of scholars read their way into a faith, appointed their own clergy, and began baptizing one another. When the state finally understood what had grown up inside it, the killing went on, in waves, for a hundred years.This is the story of one family. Four brothers grew up in a house on the Han river above Seoul. The eldest never converted, and buried the others. The second was exiled to an island, where he wrote the first catalogue of Korean marine life. The third was beheaded, and the catechism he wrote in the vernacular kept the church alive for thirty-three years without a priest. The fourth recanted, survived, and became the most quoted thinker Korea has produced. Their children walked to Beijing and back for twenty years to ask for a priest, wrote to the Pope, and got one.Built from interrogation records, a survivor's private papers, and testimony collected from the last people who remembered, The House at Majae is the history of the only church in the world assembled by laypeople out of books, and of what it cost the family who read them.Tae Ho Guak, MD is a Catholic neurologist in Korea and the author of The God Neuroscience Found. He lives an hour downriver from Majae. Riche Books.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In January 2025, the guidelines reversed. Most patients have not been told.For twenty years, the first drug offered for restless legs syndrome was a dopamine agonist. In 2025 the American Academy of Sleep Medicine issued a clinical practice guideline that recommends against using them as standard first-line treatment - and recommends, instead, the alpha-2-delta ligands and intravenous iron.Millions of people are still taking the older drugs. Many of them are getting worse and have been told it is their condition progressing. Often it is not. It is augmentation: the medication itself driving the symptoms earlier into the day, into the arms, into the hours when they used to be free.This book is a neurologist's explanation of what changed, why it changed, and what to do about it - written for the person living with it, not for the clinic.Inside: - The five criteria that make the diagnosis, and the conditions that get mistaken for it- What augmentation looks like from the inside, and the questions that distinguish it from ordinary worsening- Why a ferritin result marked normal by the laboratory can still be too low for restless legs - and why the thresholds moved again in 2026- What the 2025 guideline actually recommends, and what it recommends against- The medications, supplements, and over-the-counter sleep aids that quietly make it worse- Peroneal nerve stimulation, compression, exercise, and the folklore - sorted by evidence, with the manufacturer-funding caveats stated plainly- Surgery, pregnancy, dialysis, long flights: the situations nobody prepares you for- For the partner who has not slept properly in years- Printable forms, a glossary, an index, and a page of questions to take to your appointmentThis book contains no doses and no tapering schedules. That is deliberate. Those decisions depend on your examination, your blood results, and everything else you take. What this book gives you is the ability to walk into an appointment knowing what to ask.Tae Ho Guak, MD is a neurologist with twenty-five years in practice and a member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.Educational only.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Essential tremor is the most common movement disorder in adults - and it is still routinely mistaken for early Parkinson's disease.For patients, and sometimes for their own doctors, a shaking hand and Parkinson's disease get run together. They are not the same condition, they do not behave the same way, and they are not treated the same way. This book starts by fixing that: how to tell the two apart, in the specific, plain language a neurologist actually uses in the exam room.For thirty to sixty percent of patients, the two oldest tremor medications - propranolol and primidone - still work well, and this book says so plainly rather than talking around it. For the rest, still shaking after doing everything right, it explains what has genuinely changed in recent years: an incisionless procedure now used safely into a patient's eighties, and a surgical option that has been substantially refined.Written by a practicing neurologist, this book is built to be read start to finish or used as a reference at each stage of the condition.Inside: - How to tell essential tremor from Parkinson's disease, in the exact details doctors use- A side-by-side comparison of every medication, including real trial dropout rates- Why the deep brain stimulation target for essential tremor is different from the one used for Parkinson's disease- Focused ultrasound and deep brain stimulation, compared honestly - what each can do, and for whom- Balance, falls, and the daily-life adaptations that make a real difference- What to tell your children about their own risk, and when genetic counseling actually helps- Head and voice tremor, a pattern most books on this topic barely mention- The emotional weight of a visible tremor, and when it's worth asking for help- What real research - not hype - suggests is coming nextThis book does not argue for having a procedure over medication. Its purpose is to show, honestly and side by side, that most patients do well on medication alone - and that the rest now have an option that didn't exist a decade ago.Tae Ho Guak, MD has practiced medicine for thirty years and neurology for twenty-five, and serves on the clinical faculty of the Catholic University of Korea College of Medicine.Educational only.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - One patient in three feels their sight is affected. Three in five already have measurable loss.Idiopathic intracranial hypertension - also called pseudotumor cerebri - is a disease in which the loud symptom and the dangerous one are not the same thing.The headache is what brings almost everyone to a doctor. It is also the least informative thing about the illness: there is no characteristic headache here, which is why so many patients are treated for migraine for years while the real problem goes unexamined. Meanwhile the damage starts at the edges of vision, below the midline, in arcs - and central vision, the part that reads a page and recognises a face, is the last thing to go. People lose a third of their visual field without noticing anything at all.Written by a practising neurologist, this book is built around that gap: what a proper evaluation actually looks like, why a ninety-second examination of the optic discs keeps not being done, and how to tell a real diagnosis from the two-in-five referrals that turn out to be something else.What this book covers- Why it gets mistaken for migraine - and why a headache description cannot make or exclude the diagnosis- What a proper workup is, in order: fundus examination, formal visual fields, OCT, imaging including venography, and the lumbar puncture- How sight is lost without warning, and what the monitoring tests can see that you cannot- Acetazolamide and topiramate - what the trials actually showed, including the side effects patients are not warned about- The GLP-1 drugs: pressure fell within two and a half hours of a single injection, far too fast for weight loss to explain it - and why that trial had fifteen completers- The weight conversation, handled honestly rather than avoided- Fulminant disease: the two to three per cent who lose sight over days, and what to say to get seen today- Venous sinus stenting, shunts and their revision rate, and optic nerve sheath fenestration, compared side by side- The headache that outlasts the treatment - including the CGRP antibody evidence, and the safety warning that comes with it- Brain fog, pulsatile tinnitus, work, driving, pregnancy, and what happens if sight is lost anywayEvery figure is tied to a numbered reference - 174 of them, drawn from the published literature. Where two good studies disagree, both appear. Where the evidence does not exist - on flying, on lifting, on what this disease does to a career - the book says so plainly instead of inventing an answer.It includes a one-page suspect-confirm-treat chart written to be photographed and taken to an appointment.Tae Ho Guak, MD, is a neurologist with thirty years in medicine, twenty-five of them in headache.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - They were told it was BPPV. They had the repositioning done. It seemed to help, and then the dizziness came back. The tests found nothing much. A pill helped for a while. Months pass this way, sometimes years.A good share of these patients have the same disease. Vestibular migraine.In adult dizziness clinics it accounts for somewhere between 7 and 20 percent of patients, and in a large American pediatric series it was the most common diagnosis of all. Yet in a German population study, only one in five who met criteria had ever been given the diagnosis - and in an American survey, only one in ten had been told migraine was the cause. It is not a rare disease that hides. It is a common disease that goes unnamed.A neurologist who has seen headache and dizziness in the same office for thirty years wrote this book to shorten that road. It reads the international diagnostic criteria line by line without using them as a gatekeeper, marks every treatment recommendation with an evidence grade, and marks the places where the author goes beyond the evidence - so the reader always knows which is which. What finds this disease is not a new machine; it is a few minutes of questions: Did you get headaches when you were younger Did you get carsick as a child Did your mother have headaches This book spends more pages on how to ask those questions than on anything else.For clinicians who see dizzy patients - and for patients and families who have spent years moving from office to office without a name. Easier than a textbook, deeper than a health book.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Where does spirituality live inside the human brain?Drawing on twenty-five years as a neurologist, Dr. Tae Ho Guak takes the reader through what twenty-first-century neuroscience has actually measured: the praying brain on SPECT, the meditator's thickened cortex, the quieted intention circuit of those who speak in tongues, the telomeres of those who serve, the descending pain pathway that softens when meaning returns, the four extra years of life inside a faith community, the spiritual recovery from trauma and addiction.Then, with equal honesty, he turns to what neuroscience has not solved: the hard problem of consciousness, the fine-tuned universe, the depth of love that no evolutionary model can explain. From Galileo's misunderstanding to the Penrose-Hameroff hypothesis, from William James's radio analogy to Karl Rahner's openness to transcendence, this book traces the long conversation between brain and Being.And it arrives at one quiet conclusion: the human brain is shaped toward God, and we are, even now, being held from behind.Written for readers curious about the neuroscience of meditation, prayer, and mystical experience; believers wondering how faith and modern brain science fit together; atheists and the spiritually curious who want an honest, data-grounded conversation; clinicians and caregivers working with chronic pain, trauma, addiction, or end-of-life; and anyone who has ever stood under a starry sky and felt something larger than themselves."Even at the moment you are reading this page, someone is, behind your back, with two arms quietly holding you." - from the ConclusionPraise for The God Neuroscience Found"Dr. Tae Ho Guak writes beautifully. He distills into a single chapter what could easily fill an entire book, and his way of explaining theology through jazz is outstanding, as is his account of where neuroscience and spirituality meet." - Rev. Fr. Dong-ha Jang, Professor of Anthropology, Catholic University of Suwon"Dr. Tae Ho Guak's The God Neuroscience Found delivers relentlessly engaging storytelling grounded in solid scientific evidence. This book has all the makings of a bestseller, and then some." - Dr. Jinhee Kwak, PhD in Preventive MedicineTae Ho Guak, M.D. is a board-certified neurologist and headache specialist in Bundang, Korea, with twenty-five years as a neurologist.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "So. that light I've seen my whole life - that was my brain?"A nun in her seventies, who had spent decades quietly interpreting her recurrent visual flashes as a spiritual experience, asked this in clinic. The diagnosis was migraine aura - without headache. She had lived her entire life never told what it actually was. She is not unusual.In a quarter-century of headache practice, I have learned one pattern more than any other: the patients who reach my clinic have usually been everywhere else first. The migraine was called Meniere's disease in ENT for ten years. The migraine sent a patient through five dental implants before reaching a neurologist. The migraine was treated as depression in a middle-schooler who hadn't been to school for months. The migraine was the relentless "vertigo" that emptied a young woman's calendar for a decade.Then the other gap. A woman in her fifties, after twenty-five years of chronic migraine and four failed traditional preventives, asks two months into a CGRP antibody: "Wait - is it normal for your head to feel this clear?"Migraine NOW: What Most Doctors Still Get Wrong is the book I wrote because too many of these patients arrive too late - the conversation I wish every patient could have in clinic, in plain language, grounded in 25 years of subspecialty practice and the science of the CGRP era.Two specific gapsMigraine that doesn't look like migraine. Vertigo. Tooth pain that survives five dental procedures. Episodic nausea blamed on the stomach. Visual aura without headache. Limb numbness mistaken for stroke. Migraine is not "a headache" - it is episodic activation of a sensitive brain.Migraine treatment that is no longer current. Many patients are still told what migraine was thought to be in 2010. In 2026, CGRP monoclonal antibodies (Ajovy, Emgality, Aimovig), gepants, ditans, and a clearer model of migraine have rebuilt the field. Yet many offices still repeat the old story.What you'll learnThe hidden faces of migraine - vertigo, facial pain, GI, aura without headache, sensory auraThe 4 phases of every attack, and why they change what you doRed flags that mean go to the ER - and the larger list of things that look scary but aren'tAcute treatment in 2026: triptans, gepants, ditans, NSAIDs - used correctlyPreventive medication, traditional and new - the CGRP era without the marketingNon-drug options with evidence (magnesium, riboflavin, CoQ10) and the popular ones withoutThe truth about triggers (most "triggers" are misread premonitory symptoms)A migraine diary you can actually useHow to have a productive conversation with your doctor in five minutesWho this is forAnyone whose headache, dizziness, or unexplained pain has been bounced between specialistsPatients whose medications "don't seem to work" - often a use problem, not a drug problemFamily of someone with chronic headacheClinicians and students wanting a current view of headache careAbout the authorDr. Tae Ho Guak is a board-certified neurologist, director of EOS Brain Science Institute and Riche Clinic, and a lifetime member of the World Headache Society.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. What remains, even after the explaining.A neurologist walks into the hardest question about consciousness in the company of the faces he has met over thirty years of clinic. From psychedelics and artificial intelligence to vanishing memory and the last breath, this book begins in the questions of today and sets side by side how an old faith and a new brain science each bear witness to the same reality. It does not set out to prove. It lays the two languages next to each other and shows, honestly, that they are not enemies.We do not look for God in the brain. What we photographed was not God, but a brain during the time it was turned toward God. A person is larger than what gets measured. Something the numbers on a chart and the shadows on a scan never quite hold was always left over in those faces. Science says how. Faith says what it is turned toward.The Brain Turned Toward God is the second volume of The God Neuroscience Found. Where the first book asked where spirituality lives inside the brain, this one goes into the deep: consciousness and its hard problem, the mirror neuron and empathy, near-death experience, memory and its loss, the psychedelic renaissance, artificial intelligence, addiction and recovery, and the moment of dying. Each chapter opens with a real question a patient or a reader has asked, follows the best current neuroscience as far as it goes, and then listens to what the Catholic contemplative tradition has long said about the same territory.Tae Ho Guak, M.D. is a neurologist who has cared for patients with neurological disease for more than thirty years, exploring the place where brain science and faith meet. He directs Riche Neurology Clinic in Bundang, Korea. He is the author of The God Neuroscience Found: A Neurotheology of the Embrace from Behind (Volume I). Riche Books. A neurologist takes consciousness, memory, psychedelics, AI, and dying as far as brain science goes, then listens to what faith has long said. Volume II of The God Neuroscience Found.
