Love, Medicine and Miracles

Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com:
Siegel, a New Haven surgeon, believes that the power of healing stems from the
human mind and will, that his scalpel only buys time against cancer, and that
self-love and determination are more important than choice of therapy. His
philosophy has caused radical changes in his practice. Siegel recounts many
arresting anecdotes: joyous stories of patients who survived against all odds,
sad chronicles of those who seemingly gave up and assented to their own
deaths. The author's credentials make this one of the more plausible books on
the mind-body connection.

From Amazon.com:
"One person can not teach another person how to heal," says Metzger, "but we
can tell stories." In these meditations, she tells her heart. Stories of
initiation, healing, the interdependency of community. Stories about
storytelling. Stories about other September 11's--in Chile, in Africa.
Fairytales of the Goose Girl alongside a telling of the Los Angeles riots.
Tales of meeting an elephant, dreams of a soul emerging from a mouth,
chronicles of friendships--with Anaïs Nin, an African medicine man, a woman
dying of cancer.
This memoir sets stories next to each other,
without describing how we ought to feel, without explaining the links that
might be made. There is no dreaded compare and contrast rhetoric suffered in
schools; no need to see the truth as black and white. Or rather, there is no
requirement to see healing as dosage, individual, without reciprocity. Like
the work of the Zen master and peace activist Thich Nhat Han, the
construction of Metzger's book, its chosen language, alters the reader as
much as its content.
Metzger says, "To be a healer in this country
is an underground activity. The healer must act secretly and develop
subterfuges in order to extend her love to the world and do her work."

Judith Orloff's Guide to Intuitive Healing : 5 Steps to Physical, Emotional,
and Sexual Wellness
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: "We are the
keepers of an intuitive intelligence so powerful it can tell us how to heal,"
writes psychiatrist and practicing intuitive Judith Orloff, M.D. "We all
possess within us an intuitive healing code that contains the blueprints for
our health and happiness, and for the survival of everything that is good here
on earth." Her aim is to teach you how to tap into and train your own
intuitive powers and use them for your well-being. She divides the book into
three parts: "The Body," "Emotions and Relationships," and "Sexual Wellness."
She teaches five steps to intuitive healing, which she defines as "listening
to your body's signals--your inner voice and heart, your spiritual
connection--to find out how to become more physically, emotionally, and
sexually whole." According to Orloff, these steps apply to every health
challenge, as well as every emotional and sexual issue:
Notice your beliefs
Be in your body
Sense your body's subtle energy
Ask for inner guidance
Listen to your dreams
Orloff returns to these steps in every chapter,
offering more explanation, a different slant, practical exercises, and ways to
apply each step to different areas of your life. For example, in the helpful
"Sacred Healing Partnerships" chapter, she applies these steps to choosing the
right health practitioner. Orloff is articulate and warm, inviting you to make
her world your own with clear explanations, practical strategies, and numerous
detailed, personal anecdotes.

From Amazon.com: It
sounds like
Love Story, but with an intriguing twist.
23-year-old wife and mom Sarah Polley has spent her entire life sacrificing
for others and living on the economic fringe; when she discovers she has only
a few months to live, she resolves to keep the news secret. In her remaining
time, she plots a course for various unfinished plans and deferred dreams:
write a journal, leave future messages for her kids, make a stranger (Mark
Ruffalo) fall in love with her. Obviously, the danger of sentimentality lurks
in director Isabel Coixet's concept, and the film does have a few soggy
moments. Some critics lost patience with the main character's seeming
selfishness (a good post-movie conversation starter). Yet there is something
powerful in her insistence on claiming a small piece of existence exclusively
for herself. Polley (Guinevere) gives a typically honest performance, with
fine support by Scott Speedman and Deborah Harry.

The Doctor
(1991) ~ DVD
Avg. Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com:
William Hurt is perfectly cast as an arrogant surgeon who treats patients
like interchangeable cogs in the machinery of his medical practice. Then he is
diagnosed with throat cancer and, as the title of the memoir on which it is
based tells us, he gets a taste of his own medicine. The subplot involves the
solidarity between doctors, which is shattered when the newly conscious
physician discovers that one of his partners (Mandy Patinkin) is trying to
cover up a case of malpractice. Hurt is solid, as is Wendy Crewson as the
doctor who treats him and Elizabeth Perkins as a fellow cancer patient.
Interestingly, Hurt's fellow actors Patinkin, Adam Arkin, and Christine Lahti
all wound up playing doctors on TV's Chicago Hope.

From Amazon.com: Originally produced as a
three-part miniseries for New Zealand television, this extraordinary film is
based on the life of Janet Frame, an introverted, sensitive girl who was later
misdiagnosed as schizophrenic and spent eight years in a psychiatric hospital.
She would later become one of New Zealand's most celebrated poets and
novelists, publishing her first books while she was still confined to a mental
ward. She had endured over 200 electroshock treatments and had almost been
lobotomized by careless physicians who took no time to understand that she was
merely awkward and shy and suffered from little more than routine depression.
From a solid screenplay by Laura Jones, director Jane Campion (The
Piano) tells this story without soapy melodrama, but rather as
an exploration of a challenged creative spirit--a journey into a writer's
mind, exploring the power of imagination as a mechanism of survival and
self-defense. Three talented actors play Janet Frame at different ages
throughout the film, with Kerry Fox giving a powerful performance as the
young-adult Janet, whose own skill and creative tenacity would prove to be her
salvation. Frightening, harrowing, and ultimately a source of humanistic
enlightenment,
