Too often and for too long, people have sought ready-made recipes for their ailments, both in terms of diagnoses and cures. Yet this quest for the “miracle pill” is an illusion, especially for treating chronic diseases. Each person is unique, with his or her own experiences, feelings, environment – so it's more important to get to know the person who's suffering than to put a label on his or her illness. More and more, scientists are finding out just how much our emotional, mental and spiritual sides are actively responsible for our physical wellbeing.
Drawing from various bodies of knowledge, cultures and philosophies, this innovative book puts forward a new view of medicine, honouring the three aspects of every human being:
body, heart and spirit. Using surprising examples from his practice, Dr. Brouillard suggests we approach our health from a global perspective and proposes avenues for concrete
action so we can participate actively in our own wellbeing. At times unsettling, but always fascinating, this essay turns our certainties upside-down and revolutionizes the way we
understand our body and everything to do with it.
Strong points
An essay based on clinical cases and studies in the most current fields, such as epigenetics and quantum physics.
The cases and experiments cited are surprising and sometimes astonishing: the effect of our emotions on water; the effect of the jewelry we wear on our physical
health; the power of the will in healing; the power of prayer, etc.
Dr. Brouillard has a classical western medical education, but doesn't hesitate to incorporate spiritual and philosophical concepts and ideas from eastern medicine into his practice.
He doesn't shy away from taking a critical look at the pharmaceutical industry.
He offers practical low-cost solutions for staying healthy.
A personalized, participatory, predictive and preventive approach to health.
