I recommend this book. It's called A More Excellent Way by Henry Wright. It talks about how many of today's diseases are caused by spiritual roots. Like anger, bitterness, resentment, jealousy, etc. I feel it is well written and very informative. With doctors having trouble treating many diseases and illnesses today, I believe the answer lies within our spiritual lives with the Lord.
So you've read the book? I really, really enjoy his book. I found out about his book while reading books about my back pain. I was reading John E Sarno's books about the mindbody connection and knew that was the cause of my symptoms. I actually found out about Wright's book while reading a testimonials of Sarno's books on amazon.com. I see you are from Ireland and think that that is amazing that you were able to find out about Wright who is in Georgia. I am thinking of going to Wright's Be In Health conference here in Ohio in a couple of months. I agree 100% that these diseases, illnesses, and pain syndrome are caused by fear, worry, low-self-esteem, anxiety, guilt, unforgiveness, etc. America, is really pill and surgery crazy and doctors re doing a poor job of treating their patients. Not that they do not mean well, but they just do not have the knowledge to treat patients.
Just curious to why you bought the book. I bought it for chronic back pain, burning in low back, legs and feet, acid reflux, eczema. All which are mindbody symptoms.
The book covers, the spritual, emotional, and physical. He believes that most of the time that there is a spiritual and emotional aspect that causes the changes physically. I personally used it for my back pain. I had very bad back pain for 2 years, including neurological symptoms. I first started reading Healing Back Pain and The Mindbody Prescription by John E Sarno and got the first relief in the 2 year time period. After seeing a neurologist, orthopedic surgeon, p.t, chiropractor, pain management, supplements, bracing, etc. So I knew I was on to something. But the way Wright put it in his book, helped me make the connection very real. The Mind(Fear, worry,anxiety) directly affects changes in our bodies. Like the muscles, tendon, ligaments,nerves, immune system, etc. The cure, is knowledge. Not some pill, not surgery, but knowledge. Two years ago if you would have said that to me, I would have thought you were crazy. But it's very real. Some of the diagnosis mention in the book are chronic pain, back pain, heart diseases, cancer, skin diseases, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel, strokes, M.S, auto immune diseases, etc. Too many too list. What I like about Wright is that when conventional doctrs have problems treating the diseases, pains, illnesses, he has helped many people. He uses scripture to back everything up, he uses nothing but the King James Version.
