How Your Mind Can Heal Your Body: 10th-Anniversary Edition
£11.20£12.30 (-9%)
There is no longer any doubt that the way we think affects our bodies: countless scientific studies have shown this to be true. For former pharmaceutical scientist Dr David Hamilton, the testing of new drugs highlighted how profoundly the mind and body are connected. Time and time again, the control group of patients in drug trials improved at similar rates to those who actually received the medicines. Astounded, Dr Hamilton decided to change the direction of his work to explore the relationship between the mind and the body.
This bestselling acclaimed book was first published 10 years ago. In it, Dr Hamilton explores the effect of visualization, belief and positive thinking on the body, and shows how using our imagination and mental processes can stimulate our own defences and healing systems to combat disease, pain and illness.
In this new edition, Dr Hamilton has added four new chapters to discuss the latest cutting-edge information and extraordinary new techniques. These include using imagery to stimulate the immune system – a method that can benefit cancer patients undergoing conventional treatment – effectively using the mind to speed up rehabilitation from stroke, and powerful visualization strategies to help facilitate recovery from injury and illness.

I’m new to David’s works but been interested in mind body connection for a long time. This book strengthened my faith in my mind and body’s healing powers, the power of kindness, love, meditation….. Be yourself, be kind.

Brilliant book, have bought it for a few friends now. Really easy to read and a fascinating subject all backed up with the science. Highly recommend it and his other books. It’s the type of book you’ll find hard to put down when you start reading it.

Last July l had a major injury to my left leg. I went to A&E and the Doctor said it will take 6 to 8 weeks to recover. First few weeks inspite of taking pain killers my pain was quite acute. I started using some of Davids techniques and recovered in 4 weeks.

I love this book. It has helped me so much. Thanks to this book I’m now off my anti depressants and have not taken one pill for anything since December 2018 as I now have learnt to ‘trick’ my mind into believing I’m taking the pills. The placebo effect really does work BUT you HAVE to believe in it 100% because even if there is one percent doubting it won’t work – then it won’t – the brain loves to listen to negativity.
This is now my bible. Thank you Dr David Hamilton.
