Mind Over Medicine: Scientific Proof That You Can Heal Yourself by Lissa Rankin Md
We've 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 with the power of the mind. In an attempt 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. 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. In the final section of the book, you'll be introduced to a radical new wellness model based on Dr. Rankin's scientific findings. Her unique six-step program will help you uncover where things might be out of whack in your life - spiritually, creatively, environmentally, nutritionally, and in your professional and personal relationships - so that you can create a customized treatment plan aimed at bolstering these health-promoting pieces of your life. You'll learn how to listen to your body's 'whispers' before they turntolife-threatening 'screams' that can be prevented with proper self-care, and you'll learn how to trust your inner guidance when making decisions about your health and your life. By the time you finish Mind Over Medicine, you'll have made your own Diagnosis, written your own Prescription, and created a clear action plan designed to help you make your body ripe for miracles.
Author Bio: Lissa Rankin, M.D., is a physician, the New York Times best-selling author of six books, a researcher of the phenomenon of spontaneous remission, an expert in the intersection of science and the sacred, and the founder of the Whole Health Medicine Institute, a transformational training program focusing on consciousness and healing for health-care providers and healers. The last seven years, she adventured around the globe researching Sacred Medicine, the follow-up to Mind Over Medicine. This journey down the rabbit hole led her to study with shamans in Peru, Qigong masters from China, Balinese healers, Native American medicine men and women, Hawaiian kahunas, mind-body medicine doctors, and energy healers, trauma therapists, and biofield scientists in her home country. Dr. Rankin's passion for self-healing led to two national public television specials, four TEDx talks that have been viewed over 5 million times, and an online community of people practicing the Six Steps To Healing Yourself at HealingSoulTribe.com. She leads workshops, both online and at retreat centers like Esalen, 1440, Omega, and Kripalu. Her latest philanthropic social justice project, Heal At Last, is committed to eliminating the public health epidemic of loneliness while bringing cutting-edge healing modalities to anyone who feels ready to do this deep inner work, regardless of socioeconomic status, race, or gender identity.
