Mind Over Medicine - REVISED EDITION

We have been led to believe that when we get sick it’s our genetics. Or it’s just bad luck - and doctors alone hold the keys to optimal health. For years Lissa Rankin M.D. believed the same. But when her own health started to suffer and she turned to Western medical treatments she found that they not only failed to help - they made her worse. So she decided to take matters into her own hands. Through her research Dr. Rankin discovered that the health care she had been taught to practice was missing something crucial: a recognition of the body’s innate ability to self-repair and an appreciation for how we can control these self-healing mechanisms using the power of the mind. In an attempt to better understand this phenomenon she explored peer-reviewed medical literature and found evidence that for the past 50 years the medical establishment had been proving that the body can heal itself. Using extraordinary cases of spontaneous healing Dr. Rankin shows how thoughts feelings and beliefs can alter the body’s physiology. 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. By the time you finish listening to Mind Over Medicine you’ll have made your own diagnosis written your own prescription and created a clear action plan designed to help make your body ripe for miracles.
