Mind Over Medicine : scientific proof you can heal yourself

October 18, 2013 by Peter Leave a Comment

mind over medicineThis book shows, in a clear scientific way, how the mind is a much bigger factor in our health that we are led to believe. Lissa starts the book off considering the placebo effect and wonders, if it can work so well some of the time, can we make it work more often?. What a good idea!

Lissa Rankin is a medical doctor so she carries with her the full training of the medical profession. In spite of this, she makes the following quote in the Introduction to this book;

What if you have the power to heal your body just by changing how your mind thinks and feels?

I read this book a few months ago and I’m flicking through it again now. I really feel the urge to read it again. It’s very good. And it’s well written and easy to read. Well worth it if you have time and want to find out about a more sensible way to find health.

Hi, I'm Peter Whiting. For my whole life I've been a scientist, but my life has taken a new track. Starting about 8 years ago, I began to realise that so much of our standard way of living just isn't right. We need to become more aware, press the reset button and try to live life in the right direction.
