Cured is a rare glimpse into the mysteries of human health and
disease. Why do some people with incurable disease suddenly heal?
This phenomenon has been ignored by medicine rather than
investigated. Dr. Rediger finally asks what we can learn from these
cases of spontaneous remission and how can we activate the power of
the human body using the mind to harness our body's own healing
systems. --Mark Hyman, MD, Director of the Cleveland Clinic
for Functional Medicine, Author of the #1 New York Times
Bestseller The Blood Sugar Solution
I believe Dr. Rediger is the perfect person to write this
meaningful and timely book, which shows us a new paradigm of
healing from physical illness. His unique documentation of the
traits and strategies of individuals who have manifested their own
medical recoveries, against all odds, will offer not only hope but
also genuine insight to anyone facing a medical crisis. --Jill
Bolte-Taylor, PhD, Neuroanatomist, Spokesperson for the Harvard
Brain Bank, Author of the New York Times bestseller My
Stroke of Insight
Dr. Rediger's work adds enormously to the growing body of work
willing to take on the medical establishment and show that we may
have far more control over our health than most physicians,
researchers, and the lay public realize. --Ellen Langer,
PhD, Professor of Psychology at Harvard University, Author of

When the Body Says No: Exploring the Stress-Disease
Connection Have you ever wondered why some people
'miraculously' heal from disease, while others don't? This question
can seem so mysterious that we often think there's simply no way to
understand it. But there are answers, and Cured presents
them in a beautifully written and deeply personal way. Dr.
Rediger's brilliance and wisdom are profound and eminently
practical. But it's his humility and humanity that make this book
the masterpiece that it is. --John Robbins, Author, and
President, Food Revolution Network Cured is packed with
cutting-edge science and powerful, eye-opening real life case
studies. Dr. Jeff Rediger offers groundbreaking and
scientifically-backed evidence of how trauma can have long-lasting
effects on our bodies. This is a hopeful tale of how through
resilience and meaningful lifestyle adjustments even the most
serious of cases can be redeemed. Timely and beautifully
written...Everyone should read this book. --Bessel van der
Kolk, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling The
Body Keeps the Score Cured is one of the most important books
I've ever read. Dr. Rediger presents dozens of case studies of
people who defied the odds, many making complete recoveries even
after being told to go home and get their affairs in order. In this
book, he shows us why they recovered but he also gives us insights
into how we, too, can tap into this amazing curative and
regenerative power of the human body. This is a deeply inspiring
book. I could hardly put it down. --David R. Hamilton, PhD,
author of How Your Mind Can Heal Your Body Fascinating
bioscience on the phenomenon of spontaneous
healing...[Cured] doubles as a pragmatic guide to improving
general health...[and the author's] expert analysis drives much of
this intriguing volume...Arrestingly written and chockablock with
practical, empowering medical information, this thought-provoking
and convincing chronicle of disease avoidance and 'remarkable
recovery' will give even skeptics something to ponder. --Kirkus
Reviews Rediger makes a compelling argument... [He] adds to
spontaneous healing research by presenting case studies of terminal
patients, and includes engaging lessons about pathophysiology and
the history of medicine... As a leading voice challenging current
healthcare systems and treatment models, Rediger makes a convincing
case to study spontaneous remissions. By doing so, we may become
closer to learning why some survive, despite their odds.
--Library Journal
An experienced physician who is also a skilled, driven and
compassionate writer is a winning combination. This pioneering book
by psychiatrist Jeffrey Rediger analyses unexplained spontaneous
recoveries from potentially fatal medical conditions... Rediger
concludes that each recovery was 'unique' and only partially
explicable, but that all provide evidence of 'a powerful link'
between our identities and our immune systems. --Nature
