I
watched and listened intently to an Internet Documentary Series titled Broken Brain 2. Why was that important? It explains how this book by Dr. Dispenza
came to be in my possession. There was a
physician featured on the presentation and unfortunately I did not write her
name down to give her credit, who said, “I
will not see a new patient until the patient reads You Are the Placebo.” Think about that for just a moment. Doctors earn a living by seeing a patient and
then being paid by the patient and/or the patient’s health insurance
company. What better motivation to read
a book for me who will probably never be a patient of the doctor making the
recommendation, especially since I can’t remember her name.
I
purchased the book with some reservations.
Whenever I have read a book written by a medical doctor I am usually
overwhelmed with all the medical terms used and then followed by an in depth
discussion as to what the terms mean, etc.
I bought the book anyway as should you.
It
would be my estimate that about 5% of the book contains medical terms I cannot
pronounce nor that I will ever remember; nor do I have need to. But for the remaining 95% of the book, all I
can say is WOW!
First
a disclaimer. To some the contents of
this book will be beyond what they have come to believe and frankly that is what
part of the book describes. For others
like me, I have always felt that the brain was more than capable of
self-healing the body but until now, I do not know if anyone was sure as to how
to tap into the ability. I was
fascinated by Dr. Dispenza’s personal story about his bike and SUV accident and
how he recovered. To put it into
perspective and hopefully without getting too personal, I am experiencing
severe pain in my left hip and thigh and the pain suddenly and magically
appeared immediately following major back surgery; the pain is not near where
the actual back repair was performed.
The surgeon performing the surgery doesn’t seem to know what to do to
relieve the pain. So I began researching
pain that involved taking A Great Course (company name) course on Pain
Management as well as reading several books and articles on pain and pain
management. I felt I need to “manage”
the pain because a cure didn’t seem like it was going to appear in my
life. Would the contents of this book
apply to me and relieve me of the pain I was experiencing? Still even more important to me, would this
book validate my belief that the brain could actually heal the body if someone
were to show me how to tap into that ability?
Only
time will tell if my personal physical pain is relieved because I happened to
read this book. If it does I will
certainly revised my comments regarding the book.
As
you read Dispenza’s book you quickly learn of stories of people who have used
the power described in the book both consciously and subconsciously to change
what the brain and the body has heretofore been trained to believe. Once you believe something to be true, it
takes a great will power and attitude change to redefine that belief or like in
my case it takes the need to find relief for my personal pain to find an
alternative to what doctors have been unsuccessfully doing to relieve my
pain. In my judgment I felt, “heck what
have I got to lose by trying it?” I do
feel, however, that I would have a “leg up” on others that read the book
because of this review, but who do not as yet believe as I do that the brain
can heal the body. Being able to open
the brain to a new thought is critical as Dr. Dispenza points out before
someone can actually believe in something new to the old ways of thinking. By “old ways of thinking” I mean yours and my
old ways of thinking, not old ways meaning something old because of passing
time.
There
would be no point in telling you what is in the book because I could never do
it justice. What I can tell you is that
I truly believe that everyone could benefit from reading it and I do mean
everyone. Why do I say this? Because as I read it, I envisioned real
estate agents who were stuck in a place and who didn’t seem capable of making
the changes they need to make to make a difference. So just about everyone could benefit whether
they have a chronic illness or not. Still, if you are extremely skeptical, I
doubt the book would be of much value even in the face of facts, logic and
common sense.
After I was about half way through the book, I purchased a downloadable
MP3 file created by Dr. Dispenza. Again,
WOW!
Not sure I have ever paid such close attention to any MP3 or CD like his
Breaking
The Habit of Being Yourself Book Meditations. Best
$6.00 I have spent in some time if ever!
Who should read the
book? Everyone!
Would I read it again? Sections of the book, absolutely!
Would I refer the books
to my friends and family?
Absolutely, already have
Would I buy the book as
a gift? Probably but
not if I thought the receiver of the book had a closed mind to such knowledge
as it would then serve no purpose.
