Quantum Healing: Exploring the Frontiers of Mind/Body Medicine

By Deepak Chopra

Book Overview

THE LANDMARK BESTSELLER--NOW COMPLETELY REVISED AND UPDATED More than twenty-five years ago, Quantum Healing helped transform Deepak Chopra into a cultural phenomenon. Now Dr. Chopra, hailed by Time as "the poet-prophet of alternative medicine," returns to this groundbreaking exploration of consciousness and the power of mindfulness, adding the latest scientific research as well as expanded thoughts on the connection between body and mind. Inspired by the unexplained recovery of patients in his own practice who had been given just a few months to live, Dr. Chopra began his search for answers. After returning to his native India to explore humanity's most ancient healing tradition, Ayurveda, he combined those insights with Western medicine, neuroscience, and physics. What he discovered--a "network of intelligence" in the human body with the potential to defeat cancer, heart disease, even aging itself--forms the basis of Quantum Healing . In this new edition, Dr. Chopra once again offers a fascinating intellectual journey and a deeply moving chronicle of hope and healing. Praise for Quantum Healing " Quantum Healing didn't set out to cure cancer or Alzheimer's or any other intractable disease. It set out to see the human body, and human existence in general, through wiser eyes. As a scientist I'm passionate about genes and the brain; as a person I'm totally fascinated by the origins of consciousness. Quantum Healing galvanized my intuition that these areas do not have to be separated." --Dr. Rudolph Tanzi, from the new foreword "Deepak Chopra illuminates our true innate capacity for healing, growth, and evolution. With the wisdom of an experienced doctor, girded by science, he guides us to reclaim our natural power towards thriving. Chopra's work is paradigm-changing for medicine and helpful beyond measure for every human being seeking to evolve, flourish, and know our true nature." --Lisa Miller, Ph.D., author of The Spiritual Child and director of clinical psychology, Teachers College, Columbia University

Thought affects the neuro peptide levels

Healing starts with the persons mind. Bliss, DNA, Mind, and body combine to strength the neuropetides levels and allow the immune system to kill the cancer. India and Chinese approaches to healing share some come duality. The reason the author calls his approach quantum healing is because the person thinks the thought, something happens (a jump in results) (entanglement), and the body responds. Correct thinking can help the body heal, if it is not to damaged. The book is about stories of people, who heal themselves with their minds. It is a book about the potential for the mind to affect the DNA. The book illustrates indian healing power feats by the Rishi that seem dream like and surreal. The author tells numerous stories of people, who have cured themselves of cancer with their minds. However, the author did not reveal the number of people, who failed and died. The book will not teach how to heal your cancer. The book will not describe visualization techniques for activiting a state of bliss. The book will not demonstrate how entangle could happen. The mind has powerful process for control pain which far exceed modern pain medicine. Negative thoughts can strength disease and cancer. Positive thought or Bliss can strengthen the immune system which can kill the cancer like an infection.

Never Sick anymore

Dr. Chopra is personally responsible for my complete change in beliefs on being sick. In his book, he states clearly and simply that the natural state of the body is health, not illness. And after reading that, something in my mind locked onto it, believed it and for the last 10 years my body has been living it! I no longer think I need to be sick to build antibodies to various diseases, I simply allow my body to be healthy- even in the midst of coughing and wheezing people. It is a mindset for which I am extremely grateful! A highly valuable read.

A must-read for all doctors

Dr. Chopra's 'Quantum Healing' is a must-read for all medical professionals because being a doctor I know that over the years our minds get programmed to learn from text-books without developing any new insights and eventually we treat patients very mechanically, ignoring the human aspect of a doctor-patient relationship and also the part human consciousness can play in recovery from an illness. Dr. Chopra has done a wonderful job of highlighting some of the medical concepts which point towards an active role of human consciousness in health promotion.This book may be a difficult one for people who do not have a medical background because of frequent use of medical terminology.
