Why Love Heals
"Of course love is more powerful than fear.
Otherwise, we'd be singing 'All You Need Is Fear.'"
-- Swami Beyondananda
Can you imagine going to the doctor, and the doctor writes you a prescription to go fishing, or whatever else brings you great joy? That's what this week's guest Dean Shrock did with his cancer patients. And they loved it! Only to his great surprise, most of them found this too selfish. But, still, his patients were living much longer than those getting only conventional medical treatment. Why? Because they felt loved and cared for. Tune in to find out just how the "intangibles" of healing -- love, spirituality, happiness, joy -- become tangible factors in getting and staying well.
Dean Shrock is a licensed psychologist who served as Director of Mind-Body Medicine for a physician management group of cancer centers, where he developed and researched a program that extended survival with cancer. His first book was
Doctor's Orders: Go Fishing, and his newest book is called,
Why Love Heals. His work can be found online at
