Heal Yourself

This is an unusual book, combining approaches using the subconscious mind and natural medicine. Normally, books specialise on one or other of these modalities, but not both. The author is informed by New Thought thinking and draws in particular on William Walker Atkinson and his writings on cause-and-effect and vibration. This first part is far shorter than the second, but conveys some essential insights, including useful self-healing statements as well as guidance on visualisation and prayer. The second part on natural medicine is much more detailed, beginning with a chapter on detoxification and the importance of the psycho-neuro-endocrine-immune system. He then covers a variety of therapy treatments including herbalism, homoeopathy, micotherapy and nutrition, before setting out detailed general treatment protocols for a large variety of conditions. This section could be of use to practitioners as well as patients, who might find the sheer volume of information almost too much.
