Product Description

Product Description
Have you ever wondered why we get ill? Can our thoughts and feelings worsen or even cause conditions like heart disease, cancer or asthma? And what – if anything – can we do about it? Why Do People Get Ill? explores the relationship between what’s going on in our heads and what happens in our bodies, combining the latest research with neglected findings from medical history. With remarkable case studies and startling new insights into why we fall ill, this intriguing book should be read by anyone who cares about their own health and that of other people.

(REAL NAME)   
Why Do People Get Ill?: Exploring the Mind-body Connection
If you have to be involved with the medical profession this is the book for you. It may help you to understand your feelings as you find yourself embroiled in an experienced that can be very confusing.
The exploration of the unconscious processes involved in what happens when you are ill and the unconscious of the medics involved brings some clarity to being the patient.
This book evokes many feelings in the reader, relief, frustration, anger and understanding. This book has to be read.
