Summary of Gabor Mate's When the Body Says No
Please This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book
#1 Raynaud’s phenomenon is a condition in which the small arteries supplying the fingers are narrowed, depriving the tissues of oxygen. It can lead to gangrene, and in some cases, scleroderma.
#2 The idea that people’s emotional coping style can be a factor in scleroderma or other chronic conditions is anathema to some physicians.
#3 The more specialized doctors become, the less they understand the human being in whom that part or organ resides. The people I interviewed for this book reported that neither their specialists nor their family doctors had ever invited them to explore the personal, subjective content of their lives.
#4 Until the advent of modern medical technology and scientific pharmacology, physicians relied on placebo effects to treat their patients. Today, we have lost the ability to treat our patients based on their confidence in their inner ability to heal.
