Since writing Love, Medicine and Miracles, I ve received an outpouring of letters and calls from people thanking me for helping them find the path to healing. I hope what I ve learned in the intervening years will help you, too, to find that path. My emphasis in this new book and in Love, Medicine and Miracles is on self-healing, that ability given to us by our Crea- tor and too long neglected by medicine. That does not mean that I am advocating turning one s back on the medical profes- sion-but I also do not believe in relying on it alone. Modern medicine and self-healing need not and should not be mutually exclusive. I advise using all your options, which include your innate ability to heal, as well as what science can offer you. Drawing on my experience and that of the many exceptional people I have encountered, I explore the role of the self-heal- ing system, explain the science behind it, and show why love is physiologic. Woody Allen tells us that human beings are divided into mind and body: The mind embraces all the nobler aspirations, like poetry and philosophy, but the body has all the fun. I believe, however, that the body and mind are a unit, bound together via nerves and messenger molecules. Love, hope, joy and peace of mind have physiological consequences, just as depression and despair do. That s what the science of mind- body communication is all about.
