Subtitled: A Step-by-Step Program to Reverse Chronic Symptoms and Create Lasting Wellness
"For the millions who are suffering from chronic and poorly understood symptoms, this book is the answer." -- Christiane Northrup, M.D.
If you are well and want to stay well--or if you have one of the hundreds of illnesses and chronic ailments, this books will give you hope.
Their three-step wellness program details the protocol for Relaxation, Diet and Exercise that has proven successful in reversing chronic illness OR helping you maintain good health and prevent illness.
If you want and need answers now, you can get the general idea by reading the chapter-end summaries. However, the authors encourage you to read every word to really understand this program.
Their quick-start guide to three aspects explain:
1. Skilled relaxation/mediation to be done 20 minutes one to two times a day.
2. Perfect whole foods diet (eliminate all refined foods from your diet and eat only whole food -- food that has had no parts removed).
3. Right exercise--choose something you like to do and enjoy it for 20 minutes three days a week.

Over the years, I've had several clients who were alternative healthcare givers, and still I was shocked that so many "diseases" as defined by traditional (allopathic) medicine can be helped by these three mind/body methods.
Most chronic illnesses or symptoms appear suddenly but have been building up over time. "Chronic" relates to the duration of the symptom, rather than the severity.
Armchair Interviews says: You will come away with a much better understanding of the mind/body affect on illness and your own health. Great resources for the well--or the "non well."
