Product Description

Review

... clear, compelling, and insightful. -- Larry Dossey, M.D., author of Reinventing Medicine

A brilliant book which will alter forever the way you look at illness and wellness, indeed life itself. -- David S. Alexander, author of Spiritual Abundance

This book is a brilliant and important guide to encourage us to accept full responsibility for our thoughts. -- Barbara Marx Hubbard, author of Conscious Evolution

Book Description

A radical, passionate argument for self-healing. Anyone can consciously trigger the power of The Placebo Effect to cure themselves of any illness. How does it work? Through direct faith in the inner source of all healing -- independent of any external agencies. This effect is well-known to medicine, but trivialized for the sake of profit. Using history, philosophy, folklore, mysticism, and religion the author posits further that the common denominator across all treatments -- shamanic rituals or modern pharmaceuticals -- is the innate self-healing capacity operating through the mind, and triggered by faith in a given remedy.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST BOOK I EVER READ, Nov 18 2003

Daniel Fenster (Florianopolis, Brazil) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Faith and the Placebo Effect: An Argument for Self-Healing (Hardcover)

This is truly a fascinating, life changing book. If you are willing to change your beliefs, this book will alter forever the way you view health and your innate capacity to heal yourself. Faith in the procedure,from shamanism to high-tech treatments, brings about healing. Bye bye dogmas and rivalries for the best methods for treating disease. Your health is in your mind.This is revolutionary.

5.0 out of 5 stars Revolutionary, Dec 14 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Faith and the Placebo Effect: An Argument for Self-Healing (Hardcover)

Author Kuby does an incredible research job, and writes with such clarity--this book will revolutionize the way people look at the medical industry, and prompt them to take more responsibility for their own health. It is very good to see these ideas put into print in a way that anyone can understand and benefit from.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunningly Powerful Read!, Nov 21 2001

Jennifer (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Faith and the Placebo Effect: An Argument for Self-Healing (Hardcover)

I read this book with a bit of skepticism about the topic but it didn't take me long to be convinced that you definitely have the power to heal yourself.

Dr. Kuby cured herself of breast cancer and lived with the lump for 8 years with absolutely no pain or problems.

Her book is an encouraging and well-written account of the power we all possess to heal ourselves.

It is one of the best books on the market for those interested in medicine and health.

I have yet to find a book to compare it to with regard to dispelling the myth of Doctor as G-D. The most enduring quote from the book, regarding the Hippocratic Oath, was "First, do no harm" which encapsulates the ideology behind this most wonderful book.
