Heilung von innen: Die neue Medizin der Selbstheilungskräfte by Jo Marchant

4.0

Informative and well researched with lots of anecdotal stories. The book discusses ways in which illness, wellness, and the physical body can be affected by the mind. It's a interesting mix of typical western medicine and alternative medicine. There are many studies and clinical trials referenced, which I appreciated. It's a nice starting out point for people to learn more about alternative types of medicine, in combination with standard western medical treatments. I think the author does a good job of balancing these. I appreciated that it was made clear that people shouldn't forego all typical medical treatments for curing disease with only their mind. These alternative treatments can possibly be used with the standard treatments. Also, the author made it clear that we have much more to learn about these non-traditional ways of treating people in medicine.
