Mind Over Medicine: Scientific Proof That You Can Heal Yourself

Product Information

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. She stepped away from her medical practice in San Diego and moved to a small town so she could reclaim her True Self. I felt the tone of the book shifted towards self-validation and promotion of the author's theory and to be honest I probably wouldn't have finished it if it weren't for the club. But it's a struggle, because I'm in and out of remission, which can be a lonely, frustrating, isolating, scary situation. The basic argument: the body has a strong natural healing mechanism, but that mechanism only works if it can maintain its “natural state of physiological rest.

Being in control of my own health is one of my most important needs, since I haven't seen a doctor in almost 2 decades! I really fed up with how the physicians are treating us as "a bunch of cells" or "Merely Flesh", not as whole-human being who has: Body, Mind, Heart, and Soul. Lissa talks about her own awakening, when she ignored the whispers of her body until the whispers became screams for help. 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. Ever since I began my spiritual journey, I have been instinctively aware of the links between the mind and the body and my reading has hinted at this link.I chose to read this book because I listened to Lissa speak at the I Can Do It Conference, and was awestruck at the stories of spontaneous remission that she shared with the audience.

She is not re-inventing the wheel and it’s more than theory and persuasive essay writing as she refers to documented scientific studies, then applies these findings to anecdotal examples.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.
