Spontaneous Healing
How to Discover and Enhance Your Body's Natural Ability to Maintain and Heal Itself
Andrew Weil M.D.It is clear that all organisms have highly developed mechanisms for self-repair and healing -- but according to Dr. Weil, Western medicine often interferes instead of working with these systems. In the course of his argument, he describes several extraordinary case studies of drastic spontaneous healing. Perhaps the most valuable feature of the book is his more gradual eight-week program of strengthening the ability of your immune, endocrine, circulatory, and nervous systems to provide such spontaneous healing.
Paperback Published 1996
8 Weeks to Optimum Health
Andrew Dr. WeilIn Eight Weeks to Optimum Health, Dr. Andrew Weil translates the brilliant insights and discoveries he outlined in his acclaimed bestseller, Spontaneous Healing, into a practical plan of action: a week-by-week, step-by-step program for enhancing and protecting present and lifelong health. The Eight-Week Program sets up a foundation for healthy living that will keep your body's natural healing system in peak working order. With clearly defined and authoritatively informed recommendations, Dr. Weil explains how to
¸ Build a lifestyle that protects you from premature illness and disability
¸ Fine-tune your current eating habits so that your diet is more nutritious
¸ Walk and stretch in regimens that satisfy weekly exercise requirements
¸ Safeguard your healing system by adding four antioxidant supplements--vitamin C and E, selenium, and mixed carotenes--to your diet
¸ Incorporate five basic breathing exercises for greater relaxation and energy
¸ Benefit from visualization, overcome sleeping problems, and test and filter your water supply
¸ Make art, music, and the natural world more important parts of your life
PLUS--a dozen tailored programs that address the specific needs of pregnant women, senior citizens, overweight people, and those at risk for cancer.

Sound Body, Sound Mind: Music for Healing
Andrew WeilSound has the power to aid in healing. This simple truth is the concept behind Sound Body, Sound Mind. The first disc, Sound Body, contains a single, 45-minute piece of music designed to "walk" the body through an experience of healing. By combining classical and world music with specially designed (though barely audible) frequencies, Sound Body is meant to "entrain" your brain waves into the pattern most conducive to deep relaxation. Just put it on and let the sound do its work. Disc two, Sound Mind, features Dr. Weil, frequency expert Anna Wise and producer Joshua Leeds discussing the principles of sound healing. Packaged in a beautifully designed, jewel-box sized book, Sound Body, Sound Mind contains 64 pages of new material from Dr. Weil.
