Synopsis

A collaboration between a traditionally trained physician and a medical intuitive, The Creation of Health illuminates the deep connection between emotional dysfunction and physical illness. It describes the role that emotional disturbances play in the most common diseases and ailments, from influenza, the common cold and arthritis to diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
After providing an introduction to intuitive medicine and its history, method of diagnosis, and relationship to traditional medicine, Myss and Shealy detail the deeper emotional and physical reasons why illness develops in the body. Dr Shealy offers a traditional account of a particular disease or ailment, while Dr Myss sheds light on the deeper emotional and psychic causes through her corresponding energy analysis.
Confirming the link between illness and emotion, The Creation of Health puts forth a groundbreaking vision of holistic healing.

About this title

Review:

In The Creation of Health two experts in very different fields combine their knowledge of the human body and spirit and together give an explosive and, ultimately, common- sense breakdown of the diagnosis and treatment of specific illnesses, each drawing on their own skills in order to encourage a balance between emotional and medical care.

Caroline Myss is an expert in the field of intuitive medicine and, although she herself finds it difficult to explain exactly how she works, the evidence given in case studies proves that she indeed has a knowledge of the human condition which can only be of benefit. Her introduction to intuitive medicine, its history, method of diagnosis and relationship to traditional medicine, is followed by C. Norman Shealy's medical accounts of particular diseases or ailments which are then combined with Myss' insights into the physiological causes through her corresponding energy analysis.

The Creation of Health addresses the link between healing and emotion and encourages a wider understanding of the emotional and physical needs of the human being, with each author supporting the other with evidence of successful diagnosis and treatment by a combination of traditional and intuitive medicine.

Anyone who has ever doubted the virtues of an holistic approach to medicine should read this important book, providing as it does a well-researched, in-depth study of the emotional, physiological and spiritual responses that promote health and healing without once dismissing more conventional approaches and thereby encouraging a closer relationship between medics, healers and, most importantly, the patient. --Susan Harrison
