Growing human consumption demands are playing a primary role in the demise of the environment, suggesting a disconnect between human society and its life support systems [1,2]. In order to reverse the ecological devastation humans have imposed on the planet a need to create change in our ways is evident [1]. The fields of Mindfulness and Sustainability Education are thought to be instrumental in helping more humans realize the importance of caring for and protecting our natural world [3].","PeriodicalId":19661,"journal":{"name":"Online Journal of Complementary & Alternative Medicine","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75601669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to a variety of factors, the tolerance to ischemia differs based on collateral circulation pathways, genetic and epigenetic differences [4,5].

Most individuals presenting with HNSCC are men over the age of 65 with a history of tobacco and alcohol use [2]. The historical use of alcohol and tobacco, as well as abuse of other substances should raise concern and consideration for health care providers. Patients may enter the illness experience while using or abusing substances, may experience co-morbidities related to or exacerbated by substance use, or may deter or avoid health services in effort to avoid detection of substance use. Likewise, it should be noted that many patients with past or current addiction, may have experience with 12 step group programs that may impact treatment seeking and decision making.","PeriodicalId":19661,"journal":{"name":"Online Journal of Complementary & Alternative Medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78575760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
