Healing ADD

By Daniel G. Amen, M.D.

The Breakthrough Program That Allows You to See and Heal the 6 Types of ADD. Commonly perceived as a flavor-of-the-month diagnosis, ADD is, in fact, an enormous health problem that will only continue to grow. It affects six percent of the population, yet less than one-third of the afflicted are taking medication. Why? According to Dr. Daniel Amen, Attention Deficit Disorder is underdiagnosed, incorrectly treated, and poorly understood. Dr. Amen, board-certified in child, adolescent, and adult psychiatry has discovered that there are six types of ADD—not just the commonly known two. Moreover, the most frequently prescribed treatment —Ritalin—makes four of these types worse. Dr. Amen’s discovery results from an intensive, years-long study of brain imaging that identified the distinctive brain dysfunctions characterizing each type of ADD.

Dr. Amen’s arresting brain images found throughout these pages leave no doubt that ADD is a real, biological, and ultimately treatable disorder. These dramatic images help sufferers and their families to realize that this is a medical problem that can be helped with proper intervention.

Quantum Healing

By Deepak Chopra, M.D.

Dr. Chopra 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-80s he returned to his native India to explore 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. In this inspiring and pioneering work, Dr. Chopra offers us both a fascinating intellectual journey and a deeply moving chronicle of hope and healing. Trained in India and the United States, Dr. Deepak Chopra is a practicing endocrinologist and former Chief of Staff of New England Memorial Hospital in Stoneham, Massachusetts. His writing has been published in twenty-four foreign countries, and he lectures widely in the United States, Europe, India, Japan and Russia.

Why God Won’t Go Away

By Andrew Newberg, M.D, Eugene D’Aquili, M.D., Ph.D. and Vince Rause

Why have we humans always longed to connect with something larger than ourselves? Why does consciousness inevitably involve us in a spiritual quest? Why, in short, won’t God go away? Theologians, philosophers, and psychologists have debated this question through the ages, arriving at a range of contradictory and ultimately unprovable answers. But in this brilliant, ground breaking new book, researchers Andrew Newberg, M.D. and Eugene d’Aquili, M.D., Ph.D. offer an explanation that is at once profoundly simple and scientifically precise: The religious impulse is rooted in the biology of the brain. Andrew Newberg, M.D. is an assistant professor in the Department of Radiology in the Division of Nuclear Medicine and an instructor in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. He has spent more than six years studying brain physiology and function, with focus on the neurology of religious and mystical experiences.

How do thoughts and feelings influence health? How is healing related to the mind? We asked doctors in large public hospitals and small community clinics about healing and the mind in daily practice. We talked with people in stress reduction clinics and therapeutic support groups and learned about such techniques as meditation and self-regulation as well as about regimes of diet and exercise. We talked with scientists about mind/body research and abou the fascinating new field of psychoneuroimmunology to explore mind/body connections. Bill Moyers is an acclaimed television journalist and editor, widely respected for his work at PBS and CBS News.
