Mind-body Health and Stress Tolerance is a groundbreaking work which presents an overall theory explaining how mental attitude and lifestyle can profoundly affect physical and mental health. Based on the latest research into areas such as the placebo effect and the circadian body clock, this book shows how the mind interacts with the immune system and the body's hormone rhythms to influence health, vitality and stress tolerance. This book presents the first-ever cohesive theory to explain burnout, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS, also known as ME), irritable bowel syndrome, post-viral fatigue syndrome and other misunderstood illnesses, explaining why these illnesses occur and how they can be treated. Aimed at both patients and researchers, this book brings together the results of over one hundred research papers and the experiences of many patients who have recovered from chronic illnesses such as CFS. Comments by Peter DeMauro, M.D., Hackensack University Medical Center: "All in all, I am very impressed with it and rather enjoyed reading it I think it is great tool for patient education."

DO NOT buy this book! Jameson is NOT qualified to deal w/ this topic,

This review is from: Mind-Body Health and Stress Tolerance (Paperback)
Do not waste your money buying this book. The title may sound rather serious but the contents of the book range from worthless to downright dangerous.
Jameson is an engineer - not a researcher or a physician. If you want a book on car repair, you buy one from a well known and respected mechanic or auto authority. The same holds true, actually far truer, for anything related to the body and brain. Read the books written by the real researchers with real degrees and vast experiences in dealing with the brain and body and stay away from someone who knows nothing about the mind-body-stress connection - nothing at all. Was this a self-published book because I can NOT believe any established publishing house would bother with this type of rubbish - and rather dangerous rubbish at that. Look elsewhere for far better insights into the mind-body connection and the effects of stress. Hit the Neurology, Immune System, Endocrine sections for real research and analysis.

What is this guy on?,
This review is from: Mind-Body Health and Stress Tolerance (Paperback)
I don't think I've ever read a "medical" book this bad before. Reading this guy's credentials makes me realise why it seems so poorly researched. I wouldn't bother if I were you.

This review is from: Mind-Body Health and Stress Tolerance (Paperback)
I haven't read such a load of trash for ages. It is not based as far as I can see on any scientific basis just his opinion. It appears to be just a desire to make money. Please don't bother.
