Cured: The Power of Our Immune System and the Mind-Body Connection Paperback – 15 July 2021

An amazing book for anyone that's interested in health and healing - it's not just for cancer patients. Lots of information and inspiring experiences highlighting how to best support the body in overcoming serious illness, and how to keep healthy even if you haven't got a life-limiting disease. Highly recommended.

Well written, eye opening, informative. Loved it.

This book is must for everyone of those who are seekers of universal truth about. Mind Matter and Movement. How we are not bundle of cells logically arranged to breathe, live and die one day but there is more to us than that. We have our spirituality and natural senses which make me a me. Explore through this book to be who you can and want to be, thank you Dr Rédiger for writing this book.

A fascinating read that is a thorough examination of what often helps us heal, even when very sick. It doesn’t make any promises or guarantees, just a review from his scientific research spanning almost twenty years, of the circumstances of a number of people who get better.Lots to think about.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved the fact that the author started as a cynic; but couldn't deny the evidence in front of his eyes as he delved deeper into the subject. There are some great lines too, so its fun to read, like: modern medicine is like parking ambulances at the bottom of a cliff and waiting for customers, instead of putting a fence at the top of the cliff. Not only is it well written and amusing in places; its incredibly authoritative. This was written by and academic medic, who had set out to disprove the concept. He divides those who have cured themselves into five main groups, and starts with an example (real, tested and medically proven), then looks at what happened and how.How useful is it if you had a terminal disease? I think pretty good actually. It makes it clear that this isn't easy; and it required mind, body and soul to commit to what's needed. It sets out what others have done that worked; and makes it clear that it may well not work, with examples. Excellent book all round, I thought.

This is one of the most thought provoking books I have read in a long timeI bought this because a close family member has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer (due to failings of successive GP's and two consultants to take her symptoms seriously).It has been totally devastating for us but particularly her and even now she is only been offered limited conventional treatment due to other health issues.Being someone who has always believed the mind body and spirit should be treated as one and how important it is to treat the cause rather than just focusing on the symptoms (like Eastern Cultures).I am dismayed by how the minds of the NHS, medical profession and NICE are closed, even dismissive to anything other than drugs and not interested in providing or even considering a total holistic approach to illness.NICE will only ever provide treatments which pass its scientific measurement and not all treatments can be judged that way.And so doctors in this country are only trained to prescribe drugs and not trained even in things like vitamins, minerals or nutrition or anything else which may provide wellness and could even reverse disease.This book provides real life stories and discusses points in history when various discoveries were derided but could have been hugely beneficial in medical advancement and it demonstrate just how important other factors are in healing and reducing inflammation.I read this book in a week and found it to be enlightening, informative and hopeful.I really do think its a must read for anyone who is suffering from not just cancer but any sort of inflammatory illness

This is a fantastic summary of healing in all its myriad ways and recognises the complexity of human disease and does a great job of identifying the core big causes we all realise need to be addressed.The use of the stores and the personal reflections are able to elevate this book into a great level of readability. The challenge is how do we pivot or move the health systems to start changing and incorporating this into the main stream narrative and how long can that take and where do we start? With the cancers or the non cancerous incurable?As a pain physician, I have to agree with all the points that Dr Rediger makes and it is such an important book at a very relevant time.

This is an important work. As someone who was diagnosed with colorectal cancer two and half years ago and offered nothing but the usual radiotherapy - which I had and thoroughly regret - I refused further surgery. I'm 72. The medics were inflexible, the treatment they offered grim, hospitals in the UK appear to offer little alternative to the standard chop-'em-up, stick a stoma bag on and bung them solid with chemicals approach. I decided to go it alone. I have always eaten carefully but even tightened that up, and did pretty much what he describes in this book, so it has been a great delight to read it. I'm pretty fit, walk and exercise and get on with life and thank God I didn't allow myself to get carved up and go through all the misery that accompanies it. There are some real revelations in this book for those who are looking for another route, it's an enjoyable, informative and scholarly read. I like the way he tells us what spontaneous recoveries appear to share in common and the great hope it has brought those who have stepped aside from the deadweight on conventional medicine and looked for more enlightened paths. I sincerely hope he has thrown open door to a far wider comprehension of how the human body works rather than the blinkered way that so much of modern medicine slavishly and unimaginatively follows. Bravo Dr. Rediger, you're a great man! I have no hesitation in recommending this excellent book.
