the Score When it comes to understanding the connection between our mental and physical
health we should be looking at the exceptions not the rules. Dr Jeff Rediger a

mind-body connection. In Cured he explains the vital role that nutrition plays in boosting
our immunity and fighting off disease and he also outlines how stress trauma and identity
affect our physical health. In analysing the remarkable science of recovery Dr Rediger
reveals the power of our mind to heal our body and shows us the keys to good health. 'In an
era of incurable chronic diseases causing 60% of all deaths worldwide this book provides one
