📘 Love, Medicine and Miracles

Unconditional love is the most powerful stimulant of the immune system. The truth is: love heals. Miracles happen to exceptional patients every day - patients ho have the courage to love, those who have the courage to love, those who have the courage to work with their doctors to participate in and influence their own recovery. Bernie Slegal, M.D, practices surgery in New Haven and teaches at Yale University. In 1978, Siegal started ECap (Exceptional Cancer Patients), a specialized form of individual and group therapy based on "carefontation," a loving, safe, therapeutic confrontation that facilitates personal change and healing. This experience led to his desire to make everyone aware of his or her own healing potential. In 1988, he became president of the American Holistic Medical Association.

A book of miracles by 6687273|Bernie S. Siegel book cover

📘 A book of miracles

"Bernie, as he prefers to be called, first wrote about miracles when he was a practicing surgeon and pioneered Exceptional Cancer Patients, a groundbreaking synthesis of group, individual, dream, and art therapy that provided patients with a "carefrontation." His safe and loving approach facilitated patients' awareness of their own physical, spiritual, and psychological healing potential. Compiled during his more than thirty years of practice, speaking, and teaching, the stories here are riveting, warm, and belief-expanding. Their subjects include a girl whose baby brother helped her overcome anorexia, a woman whose cancer helped her heal by teaching her to stand up for herself, and even a family who were saved from a burning house by bats. Without diminishing the reality of pain and hardship, they show real people turning crisis into blessing by responding to adversity in ways that empower and heal. Their stories offer readers the same opportunity"--
