Doctor You, Jeremy Howick
Self- Healing

Skyrocketing global health care costs render overmedication increasingly unaffordable. The wonders of modern medicine have also obscured the body's ability to heal itself. Your body produces its own drugs that can treat pain as well as a prescription. We've all heard of endorphins, but did you know "endorphin" literally means "morphine made by your body"?

Besides the body self healing abilities, recent clinical trials clearly sow that states of mind affect our health. Relaxation, positive thinking and comfortable social environments all provide measurable health benefits - sometimes as much as drugs.

Written using the latest high-quality clinical studes, Doctor You gives you knowledge that can empower you to make the right choices for your health. Written by Jermey Howlick an Oxford University resercher and author of over 60 publications and a classic textbook. He is an expert in the study of the placebo effect in large-scale medical studies.
