How to change the subconscious patterns underlying chronic conditions • Explains how to use prominent emotional and physical symptoms to determine the core existential stress underlying one’s chronic condition • Introduces five, seminal existential questions correlating with both the five miasms of homeopathy and the Five Phases of Chinese Medicine • Presents homeopathic remedies connected to specific existential quandaries and explains their indications through detailed examples from the author’s practice In addition to working well for purely physical ailments, homeopathy offers remedies for engaging directly with the subconscious mind and ameliorating embedded, existential causes of chronic illness—called “miasms” in classical homeopathy. Presenting diagnostic insight, specific homeopathic remedies, and successful case study examples about the profound connections between emotions and their physical manifestations in illness, Jerry M. Kantor correlates the five classical miasms and their core existential quandaries with the Five Elements and Phase Theory of Chinese Medicine. He likens inborn foundational emotions to tools, each one designed to solve a stress-related problem. Self-sabotaging imbalances—energetic and physical—can occur when an emotional tool is excessively used, such as when a once-familiar stress is no longer present, or underused, as when a stressful input is inadequately managed. He explains how identifying a default emotional response—such as anxiety or anger—along with its accompanying physical symptoms can determine the core existential stress or heredity pattern underlying a chronic condition. For each of the five classical miasms and their associated physical and emotional conditions, the author presents homeopathic remedies that mollify the impact of specific existential quandaries and explains their indications through detailed examples from his practice. Revealing that the subconscious mind is amenable to change, Kantor shows how to accurately select remedies to defuse the energetic charge of unresolved existential stress and thus quell the root causes of chronic illness.

"In exploring the parallel modalities of two great healing systems, Traditional Chinese Medicine and homeopathy, the author describes where they converge in regard to diagnosis, theory, and treatment outcome. He offers a map that brings together the lenses of biomedicine, TCM, and homeopathy to bear conjointly on the problem of chronic illness."--Publisher's website.

In our modern world, where science and technology have made remarkable strides in understanding and treating physical ailments, we often overlook a crucial aspect of health: the profound connection between our emotions and our physical well-being. This book delves into an area that has long been relegated to the fringes of mainstream medicine but is gaining increasing recognition: the intricate relationship between emotions and physical pain or disease. For over three decades, our work with individuals experiencing chronic physical pain has revealed a startling pattern: in nearly 90% of cases, emotions play a significant role. This realization is not merely an anecdotal observation but a reflection of a deeper truth that modern medicine is beginning to embrace. The body's physical suffering is not always a standalone issue; it is frequently intertwined with emotional experiences that shape and exacerbate the pain we feel. Our journey into this complex relationship starts with understanding that our bodies are not isolated entities but are deeply interconnected with our emotional and psychological states. Physical pain is often a manifestation of underlying emotional distress. Stress, anxiety, depression, and unresolved emotional conflicts can significantly impact our musculoskeletal system, leading to chronic pain and various physical ailments. One of the primary goals of this book is to shed light on how exploring and addressing our emotions can offer profound insights into the root causes of our physical discomfort. By acknowledging and understanding our feelings, we can unlock the potential for healing that goes beyond mere symptom management. Recent advancements in neuroscience and psychology have provided us with a deeper understanding of how emotions affect physical health. The brain and body are in constant communication through a complex network of neurotransmitters, hormones, and neural pathways. Emotional stress can trigger the release of cortisol and other stress hormones, which, when chronically elevated, can lead to inflammation and pain in the body. Research has shown that unresolved emotional issues can contribute to the development of chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, and chronic fatigue syndrome. The mind-body connection is not just a metaphor but a real physiological link that influences how we experience and manage pain. As we continue to unravel the complexities of the mind-body connection, let us move forward with a renewed appreciation for the intricate interplay between our emotions and our physical health. The path to healing is a journey of both discovery and empowerment, and this book is here to guide you every step of the way. I invite you to explore how our bodies react to the impact of our own thoughts. We need to take a moment to connect with our emotions and sensations. While perfection is elusive in our fast-paced world, many physical ailments can be prevented if we learn to listen to both our physical and emotional bodies.

With the onset of chronic illness, an individual and family's world, previously taken for granted, is often undone. The actual and potential losses from illness impact on family, friends, physicians, therapists, nurses, and others in profound and unexpected ways. Through his own honest, personal account and the testimony of others, Robert Shuman takes us inside the illness experience to help us better grasp the daily inner lives of the ailing person and his or her family. As our aging population lives longer, chronic illness touches more and more of us. Whether as patient or parent, nurse or spouse, colleague or therapist, we need to have greater knowledge and understanding of the intricacies of chronic illness.Robert Shuman maps out the many dimensions of illness and invites the reader to explore its challenging terrain in a way that provides opportunities for self-discovery and reflection. In lyrical prose, he opens up new ways of thinking about the psychology of illness and healing. He suggests, for example, that illness symptoms can have a generative effect on a person's imaginative and creative possibilities, and that the socially despised events of illness and disability offer new ways of being once sought through the work of religion. Drawing on the fields of behavioral and family medicine, medical anthropology and sociology, moral and bioethical philosophies, and family, existential, cognitive, Jungian, and archetypal psychotherapies, among others, The Psychology of Chronic Illness raises provocative questions for the professional caregiver as well as for those living with illness and disability.This book will help anyone touched by illness, personally or professionally, to support those living with chronic illnesses and disabilities; to cope with multiple impacts on work, relationships, social roles, individual dreams, and disappointments; to listen to and voice suffering and fears, grief and anger, questions of values and moral doubts; and to acknowledge loss and mourning as a “common ground” that we all share. This book offerrs specific resources to the caregiver and aids the professional in his or her ethical obligation to give. Moreover, Shuman's voice is one of compassion, reminding us how to hold on to or recover hope, meaning, and morale during times of affliction and distress.

If you think you’ve read all you need to know about healing, it’s time to take another look.

What if the answers to true healing and freedom have been in the Bible all along? Dr. Wright spent decades learning the spiritual roots of disease and blocks to healing. In his journey, he discovered that there is a spiritual root issue in about 80 percent of all diseases, which is a direct result of a breakdown in our relationship with God, ourselves, or others.

Chronic Disease in the Twentieth Century challenges the conventional wisdom that the concept of chronic disease emerged because medicine's ability to cure infectious disease led to changing patterns of disease. Instead, it suggests, the concept was constructed and has evolved to serve a variety of political and social purposes. How and why the concept developed differently in the United States, an United Kingdom, and France are central concerns of this work. While an international consensus now exists, the different paths taken by these three countries continue to exert profound influence. This book seeks to explain why, among the innumerable problems faced by societies, some problems in some places become viewed as critical public issues that shape health policy. -- from back cover.
