Nadine Burke Harris . . . offers a new set of tools, based in science, that can help each of us heal ourselves, our children, and our world.—Paul Tough, author of How Children Succeed It was in the time of the Iron Curtain when the drilling was started,” says Uli Harms of the International Continental Scientific Drilling Program, who as a young scientist worked on the German rival to the Kola borehole. “And there was certainly competition between us. One of the main motivations was that the Russians were simply not really open with their data. In 1992, an international geophysical experiment obtained a reflection seismic crustal cross-section through the well. The Kola-92 working group consisted of researchers from the universities of Glasgow and Edinburgh in the United Kingdom, the University of Wyoming in the United States, and the University of Bergen in Norway, as well as several Russian earth science research institutions. [21] Additionally, she serves as an expert advisor on the Too Small to Fail initiative to improve the lives of children, and on the American Academy of Pediatrics National Advisory Board For Screening. And finally, I'd heard of the ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) test or scores but OMG I just had no idea that the premise is that ACEs can cause toxic stress and impact our biology--our neurological system, immune system, hormonal system, cardiovascular system, even how our body reads our DNA-- in ways that we are not fully in control of especially without a network of support. This in turn can impact life choices that we make as children, adolescents, adults and our ability to function in society.

Finally, despite the minor criticisms of the book outlined, I do believe The Deepest Well is a “must read” for clinicians (including physicians), as well as patients/laypersons unfamiliar with the terrible and predictable consequences of early childhood trauma/ACEs. The Deepest Well is an excellent introduction to anyone interested in understanding this “elephant” in our human “room,” and is a formidable effort to “persuade the world” to understand ACEs, and do something about them. For that, we should all be thankful because helpful interventions do exist. If one hundred people all drink from the same well and 98 of them develop diarrhea, I can write prescription after prescription for antibiotics, or I can stop and ask, ‘What the hell is in this well?’” We tried to utilise some of the Russian techniques in the early 90s or late 80s when Russia became more open and willing to cooperate with the West,” he adds. “Unfortunately, it was not possible to get the equipment in time.” One of the biggest challenges the German engineers faced was the need to drill a hole that is as vertical as possible. The solution they came up with is now a standard technology in the oil and gas fields of the world. The KTB superdeep borehole ( German Continental Deep Drilling Programme, 1987–1995) at Windischeschenbach in northern Bavaria was drilled to a depth of 9,101 metres (29,859ft), reaching temperatures of more than 260°C (500°F). Its ambitious measuring program used high-temperature logging tools that were upgraded specifically for KTB. [25]

Nadine Burke Harris, MD, discovered Felitti’s pioneering work later, yet immediately understood the potential power of its lessons if implemented in her pediatric practice. She describes well her newfound understanding of the pathogenesis of ACEs and the excitement of potential, effective therapeutic interventions. There is a strong connection between childhood abuse and household dysfunction and many leading causes of death in adults like heart disease and cancer. higher the ACE score, there is a higher risk in of developing autoimmune diseases such as arthritis, lupus or diabetes and an even greater risk of asthma, allergies, migraines, bronchitis, and ulcer (this is a long list). I thought it would be more clinical and less storytelling. I was hoping for a slightly more “public health” oriented book.The Woodingdean Water Well is the deepest hand-dug well in the world, at 390 metres (1,280ft) deep. It was dug to provide water for a workhouse. [1] [2] Work on the well started in 1858, and was finished four years later, on 16 March 1862. It is located just outside the Nuffield Hospital in Woodingdean, in Brighton and Hove, England, United Kingdom. [3] In popular culture [ edit ]

With Angola being Africa’s second-largest oil producer, currently pumping around 1.4 million barrels of oil per day (bpd) according to OPEC’s latest Monthly Oil Market Report, the country’s wealth is highly dependent on new explorations. As an educator, I have spent time with a lot of children, and one thing I am certain of is children are very resilient. Whatever they may experience they naturally adapt to them. What Dr. Harris has done here is examine Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) which include: The Soviets started to drill in the Arctic Circle in 1970. And finally, in 1990, the German Continental Deep Drilling Program (KTB) began in Bavaria – and eventually drilled down to 5.6 miles (9km).

During the drilling process, unexpectedly no basaltic layers were found at seven kilometers down or at any depth in the borehole. [11] Prior to that, geological information about the earth's crust was mostly based on analyzing seismic waves that indicated discontinuity. [11] Scientific models had previously suggested basalt should be seen. Instead, the actual geological evidence from the borehole revealed there were more granites, and at much greater depths than scientists had considered. [11] It was then thought by scientists that seismic discontinuity was caused by granite metamorphosis instead of basalts. [11] In addition to this, water was unexpectedly found at three to six kilometers deep. [11] Water was not naturally vaporizing at any depth in the borehole. [12] Instead, water was found at these greater depths. [13] Scientific models previously had not predicted water to be found at such great depths. [14] It was discovered that deep granites can be fractured and receive water this deep. [15] As a result of these findings, many scientists now theorize that aquifers of water can be found at much greater depths than older scientific models had previously thought possible. [16] [17] [11] Research [ edit ] Despite the importance of the project, the huge drilling ship the Chikyū was built almost 20 years ago with this project in mind. The Chikyū uses a GPS system and six adjustable computer-controlled jets that can alter the position of the huge ship by as little as 50cm (20in). As announced in January 2020, Total is preparing to drill a new record offshore well at water depth of 3,628m off the coast of Angola having appointed the Maersk Voyager rig for this campaign. Personally, I am not a big fan of the Western medical model and I deplore the mass drugging of the nations by big Pharma. I am wary of most interventions that require a daily dosage, and of people in authority that do not take my interests into consideration. Dr. Burke Harris , with her wise and compassionate approach, blows open the vacuum in the heart of the current system, with its focus on symptoms and diagnosis out of context of the patients circumstances.

CPP (child parent psychotherapy) is an excellent method for dealing with childhood trauma, especially with young children and babies (yes babies need treatment too even if they don’t remember the trauma). CPP takes into consideration all of the pressures that both child and parent have to deal with. This allows patients to make connections between traumas of their past and the stressors of their present, so they can better recognise their triggers and manage their symptoms. In essence, the quality of the relationship and health of the attachment between patient and child is fundamental to well-being. (Look up Dr. Lieberman for more). BUT we CAN help. I was worried that Dr. Harris's "prescription" would be out of bounds for me. I mean I'm not able to set up a clinic with the type of care the Center for Youth Wellness, but I finished the book feeling like I could contribute to the welfare of people in my community who struggle because of toxic stress.However, the expense of having pumped water supplied from the local waterworks, then on the corner of Lewes Road (now Saunders Park) was considered prohibitive, so the Guardians decided that they would construct a single well for both properties and augment the workforce with labour from the Dyke Road Workhouse. In their opinion, making relief for the more able pauper, young or old and regardless of gender, conditional on some of the destitute undertaking an aspect of the well’s construction would reduce labour costs and indirectly add a further deterrent to anyone considering applying to the workhouse for poor relief. Hello. I read a lot about that well, first time 6 years ago when I lived at home in Hungary. Now I’m live in Brighton. Today I went to finally see my favorite well and it was a disappointment. When I looked into the well, it was only 4 meters deep with 1 meter of water. The bottom under the water may be a concrete slab which covers the deepness, so the 120 meters deepness with the 6ft diameter is closed. Maybe when the hospital was built the builders closed the well with this concrete slab. There are some pictures about the well below, unfortunately that’s all I can show.If anybody knows anything, please post!
