Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

When it comes to understanding the connection between our mental and physical health, we should be looking at the exceptions, not the rules.

Dr Jeff Rediger, a world-leading Harvard psychiatrist, has spent the last fifteen years studying thousands of individuals from around the world, examining the stories behind extraordinary cases of recovery from terminal illness.

Observing the common denominators of people who have beaten the odds, Dr Rediger reveals the immense power of our immune system and unlocks the secrets of the mind-body connection. In Cured, he explains the vital role that nutrition plays in boosting our immunity and fighting off disease, and he also outlines how stress, trauma and identity affect our physical health.

In analysing the remarkable science of recovery, Dr Rediger reveals the power of our mind to heal our body and shows us the keys to good health. 

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio on our Desktop Site.

Inspirational

Dr Rediger gives us hope. He describes moving examples of remission with scientific objectivity, avoiding any suggestion that any single action can result in a miracle cure.

Why is there 1 in a million?


Why do a tiny percentage of people survive terminal illness and the majority do not? That’s the question this books addresses and partially answers.

Research is badly needed in this area, unfortunately big pharma is not interested in providing money for research as there is nothing in it for them. Prolonging illness and suffering is a far better money spinner.
So unless money is put into this vital area, we are dooming people to that fate.

I understand why big Pharma is not interested in this area, but why can’t governments or other big institutions, fund research in this field.

If your emotional and mental health can affect your physical health which we know is true then this power needs to be harnessed for effective healing in a diagnosis of a terminal illness.

It was interesting to listen to the testimonials if those in remission who are actually engaged in their own mortality.
They alone know the clarity only death can bring.

This well researched book, highly recommend.

Absolute must for anyone interested in health

Wow, I am a RGN in the UK frustrated working in a failing system. For years we have focused on the physical aspect of patient illness. It seems we have reached a critical point, the rates of disease and illness are through the roof and patients are struggling. I spend most of my time on the wards in acute meidicne counselling my patients and listening to their storys. We have been going about our approach all wrong. Change is coming but we are slow to follow in the UK. I am setting up privately because I am so frustrated by the system. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I do, truly amazing understanding the power of the mind body spirit connection. This holistic approach is life 💜 thankyou Dr Rediger for your time, research and dedication to your work and book. I enjoyed the audio and will also order a hardcopy also so I can refer to it in my work

Journey into the hope, art and science of healing

This book is compelling from start to finish, and wonderfully narrated by the author. It offers a wake up call for all of us to think differently about our health, illness, and recovery. It offers a bold new vision for how patients can manage their health in partnership with their healthcare providers.
