Why does Western medicine fail to cure chronic physical and mental illness? Why do so many treatments and drugs work only for a limited time before eventually losing effectiveness or producing harmful side effects? Dr. Steven Goldsmith's answer is at once counterintuitive and commonsensical: the root of the problem is our combative approach. Instead of resisting and fighting our ailments, we should cooperate with and even embrace them. We should look for and apply treatments that are integrated with the causes of illness, not regard illness as an enemy to conquer. This "hair of the dog" principle is already widely evident in practice. Take, for example, vaccines and inoculations, which are small doses of the microbes that cause the diseases being prevented; the use of the stimulant Ritalin to calm and ground people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder; and radiation, which is both a well-known cause of cancer and a well-known method of treating it. These are just a few of Goldsmith's many examples, which he relays in clear, evocative, and thought-provoking language. Perhaps most compelling of all, he explores reasons why this clearly effective principle is ignored by Western medicine. Drawing on fascinating case studies and personal experiences from his forty-year career as a medical doctor and psychiatrist—as well as abundant clinical, experimental, and public health data that support his seemingly paradoxical assertion—Dr. Goldsmith presents an exciting, revolutionary approach that will change the way you think about medicine and psychotherapy.¶ From the Trade Paperback edition.

Chronic illness presents us with an insoluable paradox, and unless that paradox is confronted, no significant healing can take place. Illness should not be cured or eradicated as a foreign agent in the body, but rather transformed as part of one's being. From this premise, this book takes a journey beyond the physical manifestations of illness to its mental and spiritual roots. Using well-known myths as vehicles to understanding the struggles and decisions that underlie illness, the authors relate these stories to both case histories and their own personal experience.

Emotional pain is interconnected with disease and pain. Ten years in the making, Paradox of Conscious Healing explores the power of both the mind and spirituality, along with mind-body healing. By providing step-by-step tools to improve happiness and health, the book will appeal to a wide range of audiences and is intended to not only help individuals with illnesses but to educate medical healthcare providers to assist their patients’ healing. Walking away from his medical practice, Dr. Otani searched to find cures for the incurable. Conventional medicine turns primarily to greater drugs and technology—but at the cost of exponentially greater expense. Dr. Otani’s journey led to the study of consciousness, psychology, and the spiritual healing practices of different religions, including those of the Native American. How was it that avatars of great spiritual traditions were able to perform miraculous healing? Paradox of Conscious Healing has been clinically tested by actual patients to verify its efficacy. Taking the book’s concepts into real life, Dr. Otani instituted a holistic program for his patients based on the concepts in this book. The program was transformative—not only for those patients but for Dr. Otani, as well. The principles presented in this book not only helped patients with their pain but in all aspects of their illness. The lessons in this book also improved the committed participant’s relationships and wealth. It is Dr. Otani’s hope that this book will do the same for you, the reader.

Cancer. Organ failure. Accelerated aging. Can a single "survival molecule" fuel our most deadly and devastating health concerns? The truth is, the very biochemical mechanisms the body uses to survive are actually making us sick. This is the survival paradox. When our body's survival response is triggered, there is a cost: pain, inflammation, and life-threatening disease. But there is a way to overcome it. Drawing on inspirational healing stories and cutting-edge research, integrative medicine expert Dr. Isaac Eliaz presents a roadmap to master your biochemistry and overcome this paradox. The result? Healing and transformation on every level: physical, mental, and emotional. The Survival Paradox offers a groundbreaking new perspective in medicine-and the key to unlocking your infinite healing potential.

This book takes a look at the problem of chronic illness and chronic pain and offers new insight into their origins, their meaning in our lives and the very real opportunity they present for our profound and far-reaching healing. Chronic conditions are by definition those which do not respond to our treatment of them. And because we cannot cure them, these intractable problems can offer an opportunity to both doctors and patients to re-examine the whole approach to sickness, pain and disease commonly taken by our society.

Grounded in intimate moments of family life in and out of hospitals, this book explores the hope that inspires us to try to create lives worth living, even when no cure is in sight. The Paradox of Hope focuses on a group of African American families in a multicultural urban environment, many of them poor and all of them with children who have been diagnosed with serious chronic medical conditions. Cheryl Mattingly proposes a narrative phenomenology of practice as she explores case stories in this highly readable study. Depicting the multicultural urban hospital as a border zone where race, class, and chronic disease intersect, this theoretically innovative study illuminates communities of care that span both clinic and family and shows how hope is created as an everyday reality amid trying circumstances.

Open access edition: DOI 10.6069/9780295749013 At first glance, medicine and poison might seem to be opposites. But in China’s formative era of pharmacy (200–800 CE), poisons were strategically employed as healing agents to cure everything from abdominal pain to epidemic disease. Healing with Poisons explores the ways physicians, religious figures, court officials, and laypersons used toxic substances to both relieve acute illnesses and enhance life. It illustrates how the Chinese concept of du—a word carrying a core meaning of “potency”—led practitioners to devise a variety of methods to transform dangerous poisons into effective medicines. Recounting scandals and controversies involving poisons from the Era of Division to the Tang, historian Yan Liu considers how the concept of du was central to how the people of medieval China perceived both their bodies and the body politic. He also examines the wide range of toxic minerals, plants, and animal products used in classical Chinese pharmacy, including everything from the herb aconite to the popular recreational drug Five-Stone Powder. By recovering alternative modes of understanding wellness and the body’s interaction with foreign substances, this study cautions against arbitrary classifications and exemplifies the importance of paying attention to the technical, political, and cultural conditions in which substances become truly meaningful. Healing with Poisons is freely available in an open access edition thanks to TOME (Toward an Open Monograph Ecosystem) and the generous support of the University of Buffalo.

How might Chinese medicine help a person struggling with anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress syndrome?
