Mind Over Medicine: Scientific Proof That You Can Heal Yourself

Product Information

While it contained some good and useful information, it wasn't anything that we haven't heard before about mind over matter and how our thoughts can effect our health.

It features step-by-step techniques with easy-to-understand instructions and detailed illustrations, stunning examples of encaustic works of art (including sculpture), along with practical advice and thoughtful aesthetic observations from more than 60 professional artists working in the encaustic medium. This is apparently described as a quack medicine therapy by many, and yet worked, so I have no doubt that there are many things in this world, Doctors just do not understand. I am a Complementary Therapist practicing Reiki in Hospices and reading this book helps me to explain to my clients the benefits of relaxation in aiding them to better cope with their illnesses. Lamentablemente, también existe el opuesto: el efecto nocebo, donde las creencias negativas hacen de las suyas y terminamos enfermando. La mente como medicina no es una guía mágica, sino una lectura que nos permite ser conscientes de las actitudes negativas que infligimos en nuestro cuerpo y cómo ellas nos afectan tremendamente, sin embargo, hay maneras sencillas con las que podemos sanar y mejorar nuestra calidad de vida y por eso son presentadas acá, de una forma sencilla, directa y sin tapujos.I was particularly struck by two cases the author quotes of children – one recovered from an apparently incurable cancer and the other who died.

First, I must say that I did believe in the power of the mind over the body before starting reading this book. Many people do not accept that the mind can heal the body and conversely that the mind can make the body suffer physical illness. She lays out the scientific data proving that loneliness, pessimism, depression, fear, and anxiety damage the body, while intimate relationships, gratitude, meditation, sex, and authentic self-expression flip on the body's self-healing processes. I like the way she talks about complementary medicine as using the very best scientific medical advances to complement the body's natural healing systems. Lynne McTaggart international bestselling author of The Field, The Intention Experiment and The Bond In Mind Over Medicine: Scientific Proof That You Can Heal Yourself, Dr Lissa Rankin lays out many remarkable examples of how the mind can affect the body.Rankin's analysis and new thinking on how patients can help themselves is presented in robust, yet easily understood terms. To better understand this phenomenon, she explored peer-reviewed medical literature and found evidence that the medical establishment had been proving that the body can heal itself for over 50 years. Being truly healthy and well requires more than regular exercise, adequate sleep, and good nutrition.
