Summary of Lissa Rankin's Mind Over Medicine

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Many doctors do not want to believe that the mind can heal the body, as it goes against everything they have learned about how the body works. But when you witness things happening on your watch that science cannot explain, you start to wonder if there is something more mystical at play. #2 There are many stories of people who have changed their diets, started exercise, and changed their lifestyles, and have seen positive results. #3 I began to wonder if there was anything I could do to help facilitate the process of spontaneous remission. I couldn’t help but feel that by not at least considering the possibility that patients might have some control over their healing, I was being an irresponsible doctor. #4 I was initially resistant to the idea that the body is capable of healing itself, but as I continued to research, I was shocked at how many patients had experienced unexplained healings. I was fascinated, and wanted to understand what was going on.
