Here’s a preliminary installment:

UltraMind and Ultrametabolism by Mark Hyman, M.D.
Excellent books covering many (but by no means all) of the underlying causes of disease. A good overview of Functional Medicine – using mostly cutting edge lab work & nutrition. If this was taught in medical school, and practiced, the disease/death rate would drop dramatically.

I have a disappointment about UltraMind. He keeps referring to “your broken brain.” Most people feel broken enough as it is, and I believe that healing metaphors are most helpful when framed in a positive fashion.

Other than that, these are very helpful and important books, within the scope nutritional biochemistry.

Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton, PhD
Recent research in cell biology supports holistic approaches to health care, and demonstrates how our minds and emotions effect our bodies at the cellular level.

The Journey by Brandon Bays
Great book detailing her experience with disappearing a huge uterine tumor and creating a program of inner journeys to help people heal themselves and forgive themselves and others. Has the scripts in the back of the book for each Journey focus.

There are other books I’d like to share with you as well, so stay tuned . . .
