Book Reviews of Spontaneous Healing : How to Discover and Embrace Your Body's Natural Ability to Maintain and Heal Itself
Book Review: Quackery and Pseudoscientific Shennanigans
Summary: 1 Stars
Like Weil's other books, this one is filled with pseudomedical flapdoodle, unprovable claims, unsupported conclusions, and a complete dearth of scientific method. This book is for the desperate, the uneducated, the gullible, and the pollyana population who require no scientific proof of something that sounds good to them. Weil promises health and spontaneous healing to those who already believe outrageous claims without the rigor of proof (also known collectively as "the stupid"). This book has no basis in scientific medical reality, none of it has been proven clinically (where is Andrew Weil's cirriculum vitae?), and it is all designed to milk cash from the soft-minded, newage (rhymes with sewage) followers that depend on a corpulent quack for advice on eating.Book Review: Spontaneous Healing
Summary: 5 Stars
Dr Weil pulls together the medical knowledge from around the world to explain the human healing system. He offers suggestions for diet, natural herbs, vitamins, and much much more. I practice medicine as a Physician Assistant in Boise, Idaho. I have a web page "At Ease Medicine" that deals with natural healing, I recommend this book to all of my patients. I think it should be required reading in high school. Buy it, read it, let Dr. Weil change your life for the better.Book Review: The Famed Dr. Weil Offers His Ideas on Spontaneous Healing
Summary: 4 Stars
In these 352 pages, the renowned Andrew Weil, M.D. offers you his theories on spontaneous healing. He helps you examine the body's ability to heal itself naturally, and clearly explains how the body performs self-diagnosis, self-repair, and self-regeneration. He walks you through the natural ways to cure disease, covering areas from acupuncture to biofeedback, herbal medicine and more. You'll learn how to help your body maintain its healthiest state. There is data on your diet, the outside environment, exercise, reducing stress, and vitamins and food supplements. He tells you how to build-up your body through the use of the proper diet, vitamins and supplements, excercise, mind and body techniques. He discusses actual case histories and methods from throughout the world. Included is an eight-week program to help your body heal itself and ward off disease. All of the information is presented in easy to understand language. He discusses how the mechanisms of self-diagnosis and self-regeneration have worked in practice (not just theory) to resolve live-threatening diseases, trauma, and chronic pain. Dr. Weil notes that the best medicine works with the body's natural defenses to overcome illness, and not just to reduce symptoms or cure infection. A very useful book, one that can really improve our health and well being.Book Review: The Famed Dr. Weil Offers His Ideas on Spontaneous Healing

Summary: 4 Stars
Sometimes it just takes a little nudge to get you started in a better direction and that is what this book had done for me. I don't expect miracles, but the guidelines are better than most. If I am able to just adopt 25% of the good ideas, I'm way ahead of where I was before I read it.
