"For many years, science has incorporated into medical practice the idea that psychology has a powerful impact on health. This is a remarkable idea! Dr. Dean Ornish , after years of working with heart patients , realized that above all else, a patient’s loving relationship s with others is the most important factor in aiding their recovery . Other medical professionals, such as Dr. Herbert Benson, author of the Relaxation Response, have discovered that there is a real relationship between cultivating a peaceful mind and physical health.   Our intention is to show you how to shift your focus from a concern with the body ’ s health to the cultivation of a truly happy state of mind. We believe that you can become healthy by letting a true sense of well-being permeate your life. As a result of this process, you will also learn how to communicate more lovingly, and increase your ability to become a good friend." ~from "The Caduceus Solution,
