Curing the incurable : beyond the limits of medicine : what survivors of major illnesses can teach us

There is a steady stream of articles and books about miraculous cures from the chronic illnesses that face us in the 21st century: autoimmune conditions such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis; neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson s, MS and Alzheimer s; and many cancers. But if all these individual cases are brought together and reviewed systematically, something much more practical and less miraculous emerges a set of principles to guide us to better health and a greater chance of recovery. Dr Jerry Thompson draws on an immense range of case histories and research studies to show how what we eat, the toxic load we carry, the environmental electromagnetic fields we live in, and our beliefs and attitudes to health and illness can change the course of disease. The result is a practical guide to what we can learn from survivors about how to improve our chances of good health and recovery.
