8
Weeks to Optimum Health
A
Proven Program for Taking Full Advantage of Your Body's Natural
Healing Power. A graduate of Harvard Medical School, Dr. Weil has spent a great deal of time observing the sources of healing from deep within the rain forests of South America. He has also studied healing practices from all over the world. Incorporating conventional medicine wisdom with his in-depth knowledge of natural healing, Dr. Weil has made remarkable discoveries that have influenced the course of integrative medicine all over North America. In his book, 8 Weeks to Optimum Health, Dr. Weil shares many of those discoveries made throughout his years of research. In each of the weeks throughout the book he gradually introduces step-by-step changes intended to promote healthy living based on the body's natural ability to heal. It's a practical plan of action, which will safeguard the healing system, improve resilience to disease, help manage stress, and bring more joy and happiness into your life. Week by week, Dr. Weil gradually introduces the reader to small lifestyle changing steps, making the program very easy to adapt to. Each week the focus is different. In week 1 the participant will learn the importance of breathing exercises, vitamin C and olive oil; week 2 is filtered water; week 3 organic food; week 4 is focused on bringing a spiritual perspective to your life (optional, but highly recommended says Dr. Weil); week 5 speaks about the benefits of using a steam bath or sauna; week 6 is on relationships and intimacy; week 7 is on the power of volunteering. In week 8 you will learn how to permanently implement these steps into your life. 8 Weeks to Optimum Health touches on the prevention and treatment of ailments such as back pain, the common cold and flu, and insomnia. The book also addresses preventative measures for cancer, heart disease, and cardiovascular disease. In the last section of the book Dr. Weil has developed customized get well plans for those over the age of 30, 40, and 50; as well as for men, women, parents of young children, those at risk of cancer, frequent travelers, and individuals who are over weight. 8 Weeks to Optimum Health is intended to be used as a program guide, but is equally as valuable as a reference manual for healthy living. This is truly another book that no home library should be without. A Review By Tara Favreau |
