Summary:
"In this revelatory memoir,
Doctor
Cynthia Li shares the truth about her disabling
autoimmune
illness
, the limitations of Western
medicine
, and her hard-won lessons on
healing
-- mind, body, and spirit. Li had it all: a successful career in
medicine
, a loving marriage, children on the horizon. But it all came crashing down when, after developing an
autoimmune
thyroid condition, mysterious symptoms began consuming her body. Test after test came back 'within normal limits,' baffling her doctors -- and baffling herself. Housebound with two young children, Li began a solo odyssey from her living room couch to find a way to heal.
Brave
New
Medicine
details the physical and existential crisis that forces a young
doctor
to question her own medical training. She dives into the root causes of her
illness
, learning to unlock her body'
s
innate intelligence and wholeness. Li relates her story with the insight of a scientist, and the humility and candor of a patient, exploring the emotional and spiritual shifts beyond the physical body. Millions of people worldwide are affected by
autoimmune
disease. While complex conditions like chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) are gaining attention, patients struggling with these mysterious ailments remain largely dismissed by their doctors, families, and friends. This is the harsh reality that doctor-turned-'difficult patient' Li faced firsthand. Drawing on cutting-edge science, ancient
healing
arts, and the power of intuition, this memoir offers support, validation, and a
new
perspective for doctors and patients alike. Through her story, you can find the wisdom and heart to start your own
healing
journey, too."--Publisher.
