Spontaneous Healing - How to Discover and Enhance Your Body's Natural Ability to Maintain and Heal Itself

Spontaneous healing is not a miracle or a lucky exception, but a fact of biology, the result of the natural healing system that each one of us is born with. This simple, but profoundly revolutionary, concept is the basis for this brilliant book by Dr. Andrew Weil, one of the most skilled, articulate, and important leaders in the field of health and healing. 

As Dr. Weil explains, mechanisms of self-diagnosis and self-regeneration are embedded in every level of our biological organization, ready to become active when the need arises. Drawing on fascinating case histories from his own practice as well as medical techniques he has observed in his travels around the world, Dr. Weil shows how spontaneous healing has worked to resolve life-threatening diseases, severe trauma, and chronic pain. But it is also the essential element in the maintenance of our basic daily health. To this end, the book outlines an eight-week program that each one of us can use to alter our diet, avoid environmental toxins, and reduce stress in order to enhance our innate healing powers. 

The best medicine does not merely combat germs or suppress symptoms, but rather works hand in hand with the body's natural defenses to manage illness. Building on this fundamental truth and tapping into the intricate interaction of mind and body, Dr. Weil arrives at a major new synthesis of conventional and alternative medical treatments. At once practical and inspiring, Spontaneous Healing gives each one of us the power and the wisdom to draw on the sources of health we hold within.
