Det selvhelbredende menneske
I mange år har den vestlige verdens definition på sundhed været fraværet af symptomer. Men at vi ikke er syge, er ikke ensbetydende med, at vi lever med den fulde livskraft, vi kunne. For alle mennesker har et enormt, ubrugt potentiale for selvhelbredelse i sig - et potentiale, der på mange måder synes at være gået tabt i den moderne levevis.
For at denne selvhelbredende proces kan fungere optimalt, må vi have tilstrækkelig med energi til at styrke kroppens processer. Energi som vi får i form af næringsrigtig mad, vitaminer, mineraler, afgiftning af kroppen, motion, glæde, spiritualitet og kærlighed - alle lige vigtige ingredienser.
Det selvhelbredende menneske fører os ind i en radikal anderledes måde at betragte sundhed på. Bogen giver et unikt helhedssyn på, hvordan energi, krop og psyke hænger uadskilleligt sammen, og viser, hvorfor det er så vigtigt, at vi ikke lader os nøje med symptombehandling, men bliver bevidste om alle de bagvedliggende grunde til svækkelse og sygdomme.
Baseret på et væld af forskningsresultater, suppleret med et suverænt overblik og formidling af, hvorfor det er så afgørende at tænke i helhed, er Det selvhelbredende menneske en yderst tankevækkende, indsigtsfuld svensk bestseller. Bogen er blevet genstand for stor opmærksomhed, hvor den er udkommet - blandt andet i USA. Den indeholder mængder af konkrete råd og vigtige informationer til, hvad man selv kan gøre for at opnå optimal sundhed på alle områder.

Denna bok är fylld med fakta om allt från biologi och mikrobiologi till vitaminer och kostråd. Om det hade varit allt så hade detta kunnat vara en riktigt bra bok för den som vill veta mer om hur kroppen fungerar och hur man skall ta hand om den.
Tyvärr är det inte allt som Sanna Ehdin tar upp, utan hon sprider även pseudovetenskapligt nonsens i form av chakran, currylinjer, healing och mycket mer. Ofta hänvisar hon även till studier som stödjer hennes påståenden. Dock lämnar hon ute den uppsjö av studier som visar att t.ex. healing och bön inte fungerar - dvs hon "cherry-pickar" data som stödjer hennes förutfattade meningar om hur världen fungerar och utelämnar sådan som inte stödjer hennes uppfattning.
Jag kan dock rekommendera denna bok för någon som är intresserad av att få bättre koll på vad det är för typ av påståenden som florerar inom "new-age" och "healthy-eating" sfärerna.

Sanna Ehdin discusses health and food, drug-, alcohol- and sugar addiction, motion, stress, correct breathing and mindfulness. And how they interfere. Today, the focus is more often than not on sickness instead of health, and she claims that there are companies that benefit from it. According to her, medications, in the right doses, is the third biggest cause of death in the west. This is a book about those who want to read about something else than the traditional health care. Epigenetics means to affect one's own body with healthy food and the right environment for self healing. Did you know that b-vitamines deficiency can lead to depression? Or that persons with anorexia often has zinc deficiency? Many conditions are consequences of similar deficiencies and can be fixed without medications and antibiotics and prevented with the right food. Vitamines and minerals can cure and prevent many diseases. Stress affect the body more than you might think, and real breathing and mindfulness are important to keep the body in balance.
Ehdin means that many deficiencies depend on the diminishing nourishment in the earth. Humic acid, that blocks viruses and prevents it form binding to the cells, is found in the top strata of the earth, in peat and lignin, but have decreased due to synthetic fertilizers and toxic discharge. You can actually eat humid acid as a natural medication. I wonder what the traditional doctors that advocates conventional medicine would say about that.
Sweden, after Finland, has the world's highest frequenxy of child diabetes. Sugar and gluten is the worst substances, both when it comes to diseases, alcoholism and other addictions, and changes the hormon balance.
It has been known for more than a hundred years that hormons affetc the immune system, but it is unexplored because women's health has been a low priority in the 20th century, something that is very interesting because I would have thought that we had come further than that. Still, the Socialstyrelse, The National Board of Health and Welfare, Sveriges kommuner och landsting, SKL, Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions, and Folkhälsoinstitutet, Swedish National Institutet of Public Health claim that patients are not met and treated on the same terms. Men get more expensive medications, and women's symptoms have not been taken seriously. The research has often focused on men's immune system and animal experiments have been made on male animals. But men's and women's immune system are different. Women's is stronger, because they are responsible for the continuation of the family. That means that women have three times bigger chances to utveckla autoimmune diseases than men, something that should be taken into consideration when doing research and developing medicine.
The book contains much information and advice that might come in handy for many people. Women in menopause should take bioidentical hormones instead of synthetic ones. They are from the vegetable kingdom and are similar to our own hormones. Progesterone is important to take. Bioidentic hormons is increasing the risk for age related diseases, the cholesterol levels improve, and decreases the risk for heart diseases. Unfortunately, birth control pills often contains synthetic hormons. Why are we not informed about this? Ehdin goes so far as to claim that menopause might be something that could be postponed. She went through a detox in her fifties and got her period back. Adults uses 80 % of their energy to detox. This is very interesting.
She recommend meta medication, an overall perspective that integrates traditional, complementary, and alternative medicine. It gives a whole picture and helps the body to self cure. Energy medicin is a treatment that proceeded from the foundation of quantum physics, and states that everything exists both like particles and waves, at the same time. The waves makes a certain frequence. Different materials have different frequences. A healthy cell has another frequence than a sick one. The treatment consists of subtle energies and electromagnetic energy like sound waves and light waves. Frequency medication works on different frequences. Bioresonance is a quantum medical analysis- and treatment tecnique that has been developed in space medicine. During the analyze the system is sending information about energy waves and is looking for the body's resonans. If there is an inbalance, there are different frequences in organs and emotionally. The system is repairing them with stämma the body's energy fields.
Sanna Ehdin has some critical opinions about the society and means that in today's society there are few that are in touch with themselves and finds a meaning with their life, much due to the hard and emotionally cold patriarcial structure, where everything is about taking power, and doing everything to receive it, and find a place in the hierarchy. She believes that the world's longest war is between the sexes. But we don't need a patriarchy or matriarchy. We need to see the individual, be perceptive and accept each other.
Overall, the book is very fascinating. Even though Ehdin sometimes feel a little too convinced about some things and portrays the lack of knowledge and health treatment like a big conspiracy, it gives you much to think about. New thinking people are often met with criticism because they are controversial, but this book no doubt contains many things that people would benefit from knowing about.

Det här är en bok som får dig att må bra. Sanna Edhin Anandala tar upp det mesta inom hälsa. Efter att ha läst den här boken kommer du att ifrågasätta vad du stoppar i dig, hur du rör dig och hur mycket du sover. Det här är en angelägen bok, som många borde läsa för att må bättre. En bok jag varmt rekommenderar dig att läsa. Du kommer definitivt att må bättre efter att ha läst den.

Problematisk. Sanna Ehdin blandar fakta och åsikter och presenterar allt som sanningar.
Hon har doktorerat i immunologi och bör vara väl förtrogen med hur forskningsresultat ska tolkas och värderas. Ändå väljer hon ofta att hänvisa till forskning som stödjer hennes teser, men nämner inte att det finns forskning som motsäger dem. I vissa fall hänvisar hon till ifrågasatta forskningsrapporter och i andra väljer hon att bara presentera delar av resultaten, vilket ger en felaktig bild av slutsatserna.
Visst finns även sådant som är vedertaget och bekräftat, till exempel att vi bör äta mycket grönsaker och mindre processade livsmedel, att vi behöver röra på oss och mår bra av att stressa mindre. Men när fakta, snedvridna slutsatser och eget tyckande blandas blir det svårt för mig som läsare att bedöma de delar av innehållet som jag inte har kunskaper om. Vad stämmer och vad stämmer inte? Det går helt enkelt inte att avgöra.

amazing
Så fina tankar om medicin och hälsa, vad en människa är och vilken kunskap vi missat. Inte den mest "vetenskapligt korrekta" boken med djupgående källhänvisning, med det är väl lite poängen. Mycket innehåll, man läser den inte på en eftermiddag, men ändå värd att kolla igenom för de guldkornen som resonerar med en själv.

This book is useful and very complete, but if you are looking for practical advice you need to look into Ehdin's other books, e.g. the companion cookbook. It is more like a thesis cataloguing a lot of nutrients and explaining the effects of their depletion on our health. It provides good background reading or can be used as a reference manual.

This well researched book gives us knowledge and tools on how to keep ourselves healthy. I recommend ‘The Self-Healing Human’ to everyone who is looking to live a healthier life.
