Was uns krank macht - Was uns heilt Aufbruch in einen Neue Medizin, Das Zusammenspiel von Körper, Geist und Seele besser verstehen

A radically new look at the connection between brain, psyche and health. Flu time, everyone sniffles and coughs. It is hoped to make ends meet safely. But who is spared and who ends up in bed with a fever? As the still young discipline of psychoneuroimmunology proves, the psyche, brain and immune system work together very closely. Our immune system is in constant interaction with our thoughts, our behavior, our feelings. Recent studies show that chronic stress, e.g. in relationships or at work, not only makes us more susceptible to infections, but can also significantly shorten our lives, and even lead to serious illnesses such as cancer and autoimmune diseases in the long term. Conversely - according to the good news - positive thoughts as well as mental balance and inner well-being mobilize our self-healing powers, which prevent illness. Christian Schubert argues for a new way of thinking in medicine and research that focuses on the whole person — and requires a radical change in our healthcare system. 'Medicine is focused entirely on the body. But that is not enough. Because just as muscles, tendons and vertebrae are connected to each other, body and soul are also to be regarded as one unit. I am interested in the person as a whole. ' Prof. Dr. med Dr. rer. nat. M. Sc. Christian Schubert
