The Mind-Body Connection
We’ve always known that there’s a connection between the body and the mind, but for several centuries doctors in the West regarded it as relatively unimportant.

Spiritual Healing
Spiritual healing is, of course, ‘humbug’ to the mainstream medical fraternity.

The Molecules of Emotion
Anyone who has ever felt sick with worry or cried at the cinema knows that there is a close connection between our thoughts, emotions and bodily state, but only in the last couple of decades has the medical establishment acknowledged this connection and begun to take it seriously.

Take responsibility for your health
Health is a priceless asset that we tend to fully appreciate only when we lose it. But how many people really take care of their health in a holistic sense? We live in a land of plenty and medical knowledge has never been greater, yet ill health and obesity are rampant. How can this be?…

‘The only difference between most drugs and poisons is the dose’
‘If you push the understanding of the physiological basis of medicine far enough, you’ll come to a point where you can no longer defend it scientifically, that you must take it on faith.’ Dr Mehmet Oz Few people realise how new drugs are ‘invented’.
