Summary:
"Clinical trials show that up to 80 percent of patients given a placebo
heal
themselves with the power of the
mind
alone. But how? There is documented evidence that beliefs, thoughts, and feelings
can
cure the body. And this book not only reveals the data from mainstream medical journals; it tells you step-by-step how you
can
implement this knowledge to make your body ripe for spontaneous remission or disease prevention. For years, pioneers in the medical community have been extolling the virtues of the
mind
's power to
heal
the body. Yet their insights into the connection between our physiological states and our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions have long been dismissed by modern
medicine
as New-Age quackery and pseudoscience. Until now, few have made a definitive, scientifically-documented case that the
mind
indeed has the power to prevent illness and even cure the body. Intrigued but skeptical that the
mind
could
heal
the body, Western-trained physician Lissa Rankin, M.D. pored
over
hundreds of objectively evaluated, peer-reviewed studies from medical journals to find
proof
not just that thoughts and feelings originating in the
mind
can
heal
the body, but also that there are clear physiological mechanisms explaining how this happens. In short, the body is equipped with natural self-repair mechanisms that the
mind
has the power to flip on or off. In
Mind
Over
Medicine
, she explains how this process works, proves with extraordinary case studies from the medical literature that it does, and teaches practical techniques you
can
use to activate the body's natural self-healing mechanisms, while shutting off the processes that predispose to illness. She also guides you through the process of uncovering where you might be making unhealthy choices, not just in your diet, exercise program, and sleep habits, but in your relationships, your professional life, your creative life, your spiritual life, and more- so that you
can
create a customized treatment plan "The Prescription" aimed at bolstering all of these health-promoting aspects of your life. By expanding your definition of health and healing and implementing practices that turn off what Harvard researcher Walter Cannon termed "the stress response" and activating what Dr. Herbert Benson termed "the relaxation response," you
can
prevent or even reverse diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, chronic pain, even cancer."--Publisher.
