Spontaneous Healing, How to Discover and Embrace Your Body's Natural Ability to Maintain and Heal Itself
Andrew Weil, M.D. The Ballantine Publishing Group 1995

For anyone looking to validate the idea of optimizing your inner healing system this is a double must read. Although this book is a classic, I find that many people even if they have read it at some point, have not really utilized it to its fullest. In order to do that you will want to read and reread it for inspiration and as a source of ongoing guidance for the rest of your life. Through discussion of topics such as, "Protecting Yourself from Toxins, Seven Strategies of Successful Patients," and through case histories of his patients, Dr Weil gets us to appreciate the incredible self-healing mechanism within the human body.

Radical Healing, Integrating the World's Great Therapeutic Traditions to Create a New Transformative Medicine
Rudolph Ballentine, M.D. 1999

Trained at Duke University, Dr. Ballentine is a medical doctor, herbalist, Ayurvedic practitioner, homeopath. Drawing on 30 years of practice and medical studies this brilliant book is a cause for celebration for anyone interested in learning about different schools of Eastern and Western healing traditions. Radical Healing presents practical, well proven techniques for self-healing and transfomation, inspiring case histories, and specific tools , that help us go beyond labels (infertile) and give us a wide range of options. The notion that our personal healing is part of a global process of healing becomes quite clear as we journey toward our own Truth with this remarkable handbook.

Dr. Gaynor's Cancer Prevention Program
Mitchell L. Gaynor, M.D. and Jerry Hickey, R. Ph. Kensington Books 1999

I include this book here because many of the nutrients (phytoestrogens, antioxidants, etc.) that play a critical role in cancer prevention can help us reclaim our fertility. Dr Gaynor, M.D. is the Director of Medical Oncology and Integrative Medicine at the Strang Cancer Prevention Center, a New York Hospital/Cornell affiliate. His co-author Jerry Hickey, R. Ph. is the Chairman of the Advisory Board of the Society of Natural Pharmacy. This book is an impeccably researched resource with specific do's and don'ts that can change the way our body functions and feels. (The authors recommend many of the dietary changes I talk about in Inconceivable)

Natural Health, Natural Medicine, A Comprehensive Manual for Wellness and Self-Care
Andrew Weil M.D.

Healing Visualizations, Creating Health through Imagery
Gerald Epstein, M.D., 1989

Dr. Epstein's introduction, which I read many times, helped me understand why and how imagery creates physiological changes. The imagery exercises will help you learn the language of images and assist you in creating healing imagery for your particular problem.

Awakening Intuition: Using Your Mind- Body Network for Insight and Healing.
Mona Lisa Schulz M.D. Ph.D. 1999

If you need guidance for starting you inner pilgrimage and reading the messages your body-mind dispatches every moment of your life (in the form of dreams, emotional reactions, memories, etc.) this is it. Dr. Schulz guides us in a voice that is fun and easy to understand. Her excitement about learning and self-discovery emanates from every page.
