Customer Reviews

Fascinating and compelling.

This book is absolutely fascinating. You will be amazed by the evidence Dr. Justice presents of the amazing effects of how the human mind can cause sickness or promote health. Not a "heavy" read, it is enjoyable and compelling, while delivery accurate, well researched scientific facts. Highly recommended.

THE primer on mind-body healing

Dr. Justice's book is an excellent summary in non-technical language of the interconnections between mind and body and their effects on health. Thoroughly researched, broad in scope and reader friendly, this is both a good solid introduction to the field of psychoneuroimunology, and an excellent reference source of information. I would find it difficult to believe that anyone with an honest interest in healing would not find something between the covers that was usefull and relevant.For a more technical and theoretical work, check out "The psychobiology of mind-body healing", by Rossi.

Who Gets Sick

This book tells it like is, no holds barred. Anyone who has Chronic Fatigue Immune Deregulation Syndrome (CFIDS), Fibromylagia, Gulf War Syndrome, MS, etc this is a must have for their bookshelf and reference library. Our thoughts become images thus resulting in chronic illnesses passed on to generations. One might think themselves sick and become sick. The scary part is that it is all true. What we think, we become.
