Summary

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.

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.

Mind over medicine

Would you listen to Mind Over Medicine again? Why?

Dr Lissa Rankin Has a beautiful speaking voice
I had cancer ten years ago,with little chance of survival
I refused all medical treatment ,At 82 I am fit and active
My surgeon,said I survived because of my attitude,
This is my belief ,Lissa supports,it ,,
We make ourselves ill ,
I noticed if I think negatively,I feel ill and get pain
Positive thinking makes me feel well again ,
I love listening to her voice ,over and over, again and again,

What did you like best about this story?

Its truth

What does Lissa Rankin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Conformation of what I have believed for ten years now
I had rheumatoid arthritis,that I cured with my mind ,at aged 50,
Where my wife has been crippled by her doctors treatment
And so was another relative too,

You must purchase this book, NOW!

Would you listen to Mind Over Medicine again? Why?

I am going to listen to it again and again. It is packed full of good advice, positive attitude and hope. Lissa does not interfere with your spiritual beliefs so it doesn't matter what your religion or beliefs are, so many times I have returned books because they go into Buddhism or Hypnosis which is contrary to some of our beliefs, but this book is honest, open and a definite must have.

What other book might you compare Mind Over Medicine to, and why?

Nothing yet because it is the only one so far that has met my expectations without advocating that you believe in anything but your self.

What does Lissa Rankin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

You can lie back, relax while listening to her calm, friendly and articulate reading. It is as though she is sitting next to you talking to you like a friend.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

There are a couple of sad experiences that touch your heart, there are some witty annotations too.

Any additional comments?

Yes, thank you Lissa, I have been waiting for this and searching so far without much success and now, I have found you.

One of the best books I’ve ever read

I don’t often use this word, but this is an “epic” book. This is the sort of book that every person when growing up should read - it’s that good! Lisa’s research, knowledge and delivery is immaculate. I’m a Mind and body coach here in the UK and I can say with certainty this book will contribute to the people I will help. It’s so nice to hear the medical profession waking up to this area of knowledge. If you are looking to make a substantial difference to the quality and health of your life, then you should definitely read/listen to this book. Thank you Lisa for producing this book.

Everyone should read this, at least twice!

Such important information on how to live in health. Am about to re listen and make notes.
Our thinking makes such a big difference. Also on a course with Marisa Peer, all about talking positively and encouraging yourself, good companion learning to this book.

This is real and true !!!

Your mind has power!!! Believe and survive!!! The mind/body connection is a relatively new science, but thank you for this book and the evidence that our minds aid our healing.

A profoundly presented, honest, 'knowing' book

The narrator (author) has a calming voice and has clearly done a LOT of thinking and research for this book. It's what led her to question so very much about the conventional medical establishment, and to take things to a whole new depth, by not taking things on face value, and to look beneath the veneer of life, and what actually drives things. This meant going against the establishment a little, rubbing a few noses in the dirt, but with deference and respect for conventional doctors nevertheless.

It wasn't until the second hearing that it REALLY took on new meaning, and following another excellent book, titled 'How Your Mind Can Heal Your Body', by David Hamilton. They both compliment each other well, with crossover too of course - which actually serve to compound and drive the message home, as well as serving to back each other up.

But all through the book Lissa makes an effort to show respect to her conventional peers, as well as adding significantly to their knowledge and teachings.

A very worthy book indeed with some incredible stories that make you question conventional wisdom!

trippy

What disappointed you about Mind Over Medicine?

the style of talk was way to chilled for me. it was somewhere between condensing and all spliffed out. Definitely not the tone I like to listen too unfortunately.

How could the performance have been better?

a different narrator

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

utterly disappointed
