Description
"Wounds are universal. We all experience them to our bodies, our psyches, and our spirits. According to David Knighton, M.D., a visionary medical researcher who has worked with C. Everett Koop, Judah Folkman, Thomas Hunt, and other giants in the field of wound healing, wounding is nothing to fear. In fact, wounding is as essential to life as healing the two working together in an intricate biological dance that permeates all of nature. In The Wisdom of the Healing Wound, Dr. Knighton empowers and comforts those who are suffering from serious, chronic, mysterious, and non-healing wounds whether physical, psychological, or spiritual. The Wisdom of the Healing Wound offers a new view on why we hurt, how we heal, and how we wound ourselves for our own benefit, such as when we exercise and tear down our muscles to build more. Wounds are also a form of memory; they enable our bodies to store information about where danger lies and when to be careful. Wounds are our greatest teachers, our most important survival tools, and our best instruments of growth and change. Paradoxically, wounding is probably our greatest stimulus for health. Armed with this new, positive outlook on wounding, readers can enjoy profound healing even in wounds that have been diagnosed as chronic or incurable. Whether those wounds are physical, psychological, or spiritual, readers of The Wisdom of the Healing Wound will find many new and effective healing strategies and renewed hope"--
