自愈的概率 – Cured by Jeffrey Rediger MD

面临严重健康问题甚至绝症的人，在没有明确医学干预的情况下，症状自然消失，这种现象在医学上被称为“自发缓解”。

有过自发缓解经历的病人，都做对了哪些事情?

为了回答这个问题，执教于哈佛大学医学院，也是执业内科医生与精神科医生的杰弗里·雷迪杰博士，用十六年时间记录了大量患者对抗疾病的故事。这些案例都经过了严格筛选，是有明确医疗记录证明的自发缓解案例。本书选取其中最有代表性的十数个案例，既是一份严谨、详实、好读的医学报告，也向读者们传递了一个临床医生在治疗疾病过程中学到的、对于保持健康极为有用的经验。

When it comes to spontaneous healing, skepticism abounds. Doctors are taught that “miraculous” recoveries are flukes, and as a result, they don’t study those cases or take them into account when treating patients.

Enter Dr. Jeff Rediger, who has spent over 15 years studying spontaneous healing, pioneering the use of scientific tools to investigate recoveries from incurable illnesses. Dr. Rediger’s research has taken him from America’s top hospitals to healing centers around the world – and along the way he’s uncovered insights into why some people beat the odds.

In Cured, Dr. Rediger digs down to the root causes of illness, showing how to create an environment that sets the stage for healing. He reveals the patterns behind healing and lays out the physical and mental principles associated with recovery: first, we need to physically heal our diet and our immune systems. Next, we need to mentally heal our stress response and our identities.

Through rigorous research, Dr. Rediger shows that much of our physical reality is created in our minds. Our perception changes our experience, even to the point of changing our physical bodies – and thus the healing of our identity may be our greatest tool to recovery.

Ultimately, miracles only contradict what we know of nature at this point in time. Cured leads the way in explaining the science behind these miracles, and provides a first-of-its-kind guidebook to both healing and preventing disease.
