The Creation of Health

'Applying the principles . . . outlined in this book in your own life may be the most important thing you do for your health this decade.' Christiane Northrup, MD, author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom

A collaboration between a traditionally trained physician and a medical intuitive, The Creation of Health illuminates the deep connection between emotional dysfunction and physical illness. It describes the role that emotional disturbances play in the most common diseases and ailments, from influenza, the common cold and arthritis to diabetes, heart disease and cancer.

After an introduction to intuitive medicine and its relationship to conventional medicine, Dr Shealy offers a traditional account of a particular disease or ailment, while Dr Myss sheds light on the deeper emotional and psychic causes of the illness though her corresponding energy analysis.

Confirming the link between illness and emotion, The Creation of Health puts forward a groundbreaking vision of holistic healing.

C. Norman Shealy, MD, PhD, is the director of the Shealy Institute for Comprehensive Pain and Health Care in Springfield, Missouri, and founder of the American Holistic Medical Association.
