Drawing on fascinating case histories from his own practice, as well as medical techniques he has observed in his travels around the world, Dr. Andrew Weil shows how the mechanisms of self-diagnosis and self-regeneration have worked to resolve life-threatening diseases, severe trauma, and chronic pain. But spontaneous healing is also the essential element in the maintenance of our basic daily health. The book outlines an eight-week program that each of us can use to alter our diet, avoid environmental toxins, and reduce stress in order to enhance our innate healing powers. The best medicine does not merely combat germs or suppress symptoms, but rather works hand-in-hand with the body's natural defenses to manage illness. Building on this fundamental truth and tapping into the intricate interaction of mind and body, Dr. Weil arrives at a major new synthesis of conventional and alternative medical treatments. Destined to be a classic.</p> </div> </div><div class="flexinode-number-27"><div class="form-item"> <label>Depth:</label><br /> 1 </div> </div><div class="flexinode-number-33"><div class="form-item"> <label>Tone:</label><br /> 2 </div> </div><div class="flexinode-number-34"><div class="form-item"> <label>Openness:</label><br /> 3 </div> </div></div><p class="awTags_TagLinks">Tags: <a href="tags/47">mindbody</a> <a href="tags/55">cancer</a> </p> mindbody cancer Andrew Weil Books Core Bookshelf Natural Healing Fri, 24 Feb 2006 15:09:28 -0500
