Surgeon Bernie S. Siegel gives an inspirational, first-hand account of how patients can participate in their own recovery. Drawing on his clinical practice as a pediatric and general surgeon, Siegel explores how the mind and the immune system communicate through the central nervous system. Unconditional love is the most powerful stimulant of the immune system. The truth is: love heals. Miracles happen to exceptional patients every day—patients who have the courage to love, those who have the courage to work with their doctors to participate in and influence their own recovery. The book documents his work with Exceptional Cancer Patients, the therapy group he founded in 1978 to help individuals confront illness through guided imagery, dream study, and emotional expression. Siegel demonstrates an enduring reality: peace of mind creates the biological climate for self-healing. The author reveals a vital principle: authentic self-expression transforms physical resilience. Doctor-Patient Relationship: Dr. Siegel advocates for a partnership of equals, urging patients to ask hard questions, demand honest communication, and actively participate in treatment decisions rather than accepting passive compliance. Focusing the Mind for Healing: Practical guidance shows how relaxation, meditation, and guided visualization can alter stress hormones, lower blood pressure, and help mobilize white blood cells against disease. Case Studies: Real-world accounts from Dr. Siegel’s surgical practice and ECaP groups illustrate how patients facing bleak prognoses used emotional honesty, personal autonomy, and unconditional love to defy statistical expectations.
