Synopsis
Discusses the connections between mind, body, and health, outlining the methods readers can employ to tap into their hidden healing powers.

From the Back Cover
Here is an extraordinary new approach to healing by an extraordinary physician-writer - a book filled with the mystery, wonder, and hope of people who have experienced seemingly miraculous recoveries from cancer and other serious illnesses.

Dr Deepak Chopra, a respected New England endocrinologist, began his search for answers when he saw patients in his own practice who completely recovered after being given only a few months to live. In the mid-1980s he returned to his native India to study Ayurveda, humanity's most ancient healing tradition. Now he has brought together the current research of Western medicine, neuroscience, and physics with the insights of Ayurvedic theory to show that the human body is controlled by a 'network of intelligence' grounded in quantum reality. Not a superficial psychological state, this intelligence lies deep enough to change the basic patterns that design our physiology - with the potential to defeat cancer, heart disease, and even aging itself. In this inspiring and pioneering work, Dr Chopra offers us both a fascinating intellectual journey and a deeply moving chronicle of hope and healing.

Customer Reviews

Informative...but sheesh...hope you're up on your physics!
As the caption here says, you need to have a good understanding of physics and the abstract to fully understand and appreciate this book. DC is an excellent writer, he 'talks' to the reader. Problem is - as with any discussion - if it's outside your realm of knowledge, you might feel a bit lost. Even with reading many paragraphs twice, sometimes three times, I struggled. On the other hand, if you are scientifically inclined, or even have a wish to know more - about practically everything, but in particular how the human body works - down to receptors on cell walls..then give it a go. The only thing which really annoyed me was the 'tease' factor here. By that I mean DC mentions three techniques to healing - meditation, bliss (a form of total awareness) and primordial tones. OK, meditation I can figure out, but how on earth does one actually practice bliss and primordial therapy? That's the one point in the book where the reader is let down. Unless of course it's intended to whet the appetite and interest further reading (ergo purchases). A worthwhile read, just be prepared to work!

Amazing
For anyone who wants to help heal themselves from any kind of ailment! An amazingly positive look on the healing processes of our bodies. I would recommend this to anyone who is ailing at the moment or those in the healing profession such as myself.

new age twaddle?
I read this book 4 years ago and found it fascinating. I bought it precisely because it was written by an MD and got a very pleasant surprise and lots more than I bargained for! No prior knowledge needed, I found Quantum Healing very accessible, discussing exactly what the back cover synopisis says it does. However, if you are not prepared to consider alternative ideas many of which have been around for thousands of years (dismissed by some people as 'new age twaddle') or if you feel you cannot consider your body to be a self contained miracle whose state is very much a product of its environment then yes I would say to you, 'don't waste your money'.
