Front Cover
Random House Publishing Group, Feb 2, 2011 - Health & Fitness - 384 pages

Dr. Leo Galland, along with Doctors Bernie Siegel and Andrew Weil, has been a pioneer in the emerging field of integrated medicine, which combines the best of alternative and conventional treatments. He is also a renowned medical detective, successfully curing patients whose illnesses have defied prior diagnosis and treatment. In Power Healing, Dr. Galland shares his breakthrough medical philosophy and program of healing, developed over the course of three decades of education and practice. He explains how you can apply four healing strategies that will help your body restore its own rightful balance and health: 1) build healthy relationships—community is the most powerful healing force; 2) create a customized prescription for diet, rest, and exercise; 3) purify your external environment; and 4) detoxify your internal environment to help your body protect and cleanse itself. Included for the first time in this edition is a dynamic new questionnaire Dr. Galland has created to help you hone in on your medical priorities.
 
Filled with practical advice on detecting unsuspected causes of our sickness, building resistance to disease, and harnessing our own bodies’ natural desire to heal, Dr. Galland’s innovative book represents mind/body medicine at its best. For those whose illnesses haven’t responded to treatment or resist diagnoses, or for anyone who craves a higher level of health, Power Healing is essential reading.
