“One of the most wonderful books I have ever read.”—Karl Menninger, M.D. This book really is terrific. Bernie Siegel practiced general and pediatric surgery in New Haven, Connecticut, until he retired in 1989. He founded Exceptional Cancer Patients, based on “carefrontation,” a loving, safe, therapeutic confrontation that facilitates personal change, empowerment, and healing. Love, Medicine & Miracles is filled with wisdom, love, and many case examples of the mind-body connection to healing. It is not about abandoning Western medicine, but empowering the mind and body to make the most of healing, whether it is from within the structure of traditional Western medicine or alternative healing practices. Love, Medicine & Miracles is such a classic book that there should be hundreds of used copies available if it goes out of print.
