Dr. Mehmet Oz, celebrated heart surgeon and co-founder of the Complementary Care Center at New York's Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital, is spearheading the health-care revolution that is yielding powerful new healing tools that will forever change the way we think of medicine. In this ground-breaking book, he describes his pioneering work--combining cutting-edge Western medicine with such Eastern techniques as acupuncture and chi-gong, as well as such controversial therapies as hypnosis, music, massage, reflexology, aromatherapy, and energy healing. The inspiring and affecting stories of his patients are the heart of this book--from the extraordinary discipline of Frank Torre, who used his professional sports training to "psych" himself into healing after heart transplant surgery, to the "impossible" recovery of blues great Johnny Copeland, who was roused from a seemingly impenetrable coma through the force of his own music. In recounting his patients' experiences, Dr. Oz forges a blueprint for the radical new medicine of the next millennium--drawing on the best from Eastern and Western therapies and empowering patients to become partners with doctors in promoting their own recovery.

    About Ron Arias' most recent work, The Wetback and Other Stories, Paul Theroux writes: "I felt reading these wonderful stories that I was admitted to an adjacent neighborhood, a rich culture that is another world—call it Amexica—both mysterious and magical, that is persuasive through its tenderness. My hope is that Ron Arias continues to write short stories that tell us who we are." Arias' other books include The Road To Tamazunchale, a novel nominated for a National Book Award; Five Against the Sea, a true survival saga; Healing from the Heart, with Dr. Mehmet Oz; Moving Target: A Memoir of Pursuit, White’s Rules:Saving Our Youth, One Kid At A Time, with Paul D. White, and My Life As A Pencil, from Red Bird Chapbooks, a small, hand-crafted collection of non-fiction stories, beginning with a wine-drinking, sit-down chat in Pamplona, Spain, with Ernest Hemingway. Arias lives with his partner, artist Karen de la Peña, in Ventura, CA.

    I thought I had read it all, because my beloved husband has heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and weighs more than he should. I had seen Dr. Oz on TV a few times and read a few things he wrote but this book was straight from his heart - his Eastern and Western heart. He was not afraid to say that using BOTH forms of healing is the most appropriate because of what has been scientifically reported. What an eye-opening book for anyone trying to extend the life of a loved-one - including themselves.

    My parents are fans of Dr. Oz thanks to his being on Oprah frequently. My father had open heart surgery last year & while his heart is healthy now, his health has taken some dips. I bought him this book for support & education regarding his heart health. My dad is 80 years old & only reads the sports page & obits now, but he loves this book - likes the format, language, and explanations. It's given him some comfort & answered some concerns his cardiologist didn't address. Recommended.

    A delightfully written story and very easy to understand by the layman. This world famous heart surgeon shares insight into his life and profession. He relates so well with the average person, that you feel as though you know him on a personal level. A very brilliant man with a very humble approach to life and our human suffering. He definitely has learned to heal others, because of his own love for humanity with genuine compassion. An amazing teacher!

    Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2008
    Verified Purchase
    Gee an open-minded surgeon willing to consider alternative medicine for the benefit of his patients. What a novel idea...and a sad commentary on the current state of Western medicine. It's interesting that in some of the cases the patients were reluctant to try any Eastern techniques. But once they did, both the patient and Dr. Oz found them helpful and healing. This book should be required reading in medical school. If I ever need a heart surgeon, this is the guy.

    If you are looking for Dr. Oz before the Oprah hype and the drive to become a millionaire this is the book before Oz became a corporation and the family members began to have their own shows. Additionally, I think it is a good read for teenagers desiring to enter medicine.
