Breaking Out of Environmental Illness: Essential Reading for People with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Allergies, and Chemical Sensitivities

by Robert Sampson, Patricia Hughes

This is a book written to accelerate the personal healing of anyone suffering from any form of environmental illness. It tells the story of how a physician and a nurse liberate themselves from a common debilitating condition. After exhaustive attempts to heal themselves through conventional methods, they moved beyond feeling victimized by physical symptoms. Instead, they learned how to interpret them as communications from their bodies about unexpressed emotions and various structures they had created in their lives which no longer supported them.

this book took many interesting turns. I liked that it left no stone unturned and although I found it perturbing that they found they were creating their own illness and cured it through spiritual means in the end I liked the nice jolt it gave me

At first it seeming like the usual fare. They described symptoms and tired traditional medicine and turned to alternative sources focusing on the fixing the outward world. Focusing on the illness that these two people suffered from just led them to more illness and more ridiculous means to cure it until they realized they had some control over their minds and bodies via their own inner wisdom or spirit.

I tend to be very skeptical about wisdom and spirit but as I get older I see the value in thinking about this paradigm. The mechanistic way of dealing with human suffering certainly does not work.
