In this work, Dr Andrew Weil shows how the concept of spontaneous healing can change our lives for the better. He describes the operation of the body's own healing system, its interaction with the mind, its biological organization, and its systems of self-diagnosis, self-repair and regeneration. Case histories provide evidence of the success of spontaneous healing in dealing with serious medical conditions, ranging from arthritis to heart disease. Spontaneous healing isn't just for the seriously ill - it is just as important for everyone who wants to maintain a healthy life amid the stresses and strains of modern living. Andrew Weil provides specific and detailed information which can aid the body in maintaining its well being - and a simple eight-week programme assists the reader to make gradual permanent lifesyle changes to enhance the body's natural healing powers.
