Coining the term \"relaxation response,\" Dr. Benson identified the body's physiologic reaction that is the exact opposite of the stress (fight-or-flight) response. In the four decades since that initial discovery, Benson and his colleagues have established the first effective therapy to counteract the harmful effects of stress. They have explored how the relaxation response, the power of expectation and belief, and other mind body phenomena can produce healing in your own body. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA new era has dawned. Genetic research now shows conclusively that the mind can influence the body \u003ci\u003edown to the genetic level\u003c\/i\u003e. Your mind has the ability to change the way your body and your genes function. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe now have scientific proof that the mind can heal the body.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eRelaxation Revolution, \u003c\/i\u003eDr. Herbert Benson and William Proctor present the latest scientific endings, revealing that we have the ability to self-heal diseases, prevent life-threatening conditions, and supplement established drug and surgical procedures with mind body techniques. In a special \"treatment\" section, Benson and Proctor describe how these mind body techniques can be applied--and are being applied--to treat a wide variety of conditions, including: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- High blood pressure \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Anxiety and depression \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Infertility \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Insomnia \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Menopausal hot flashes \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Many pains, including backaches and headaches \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- Phobias \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- And much more \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eRelaxation Revolution \u003c\/i\u003edetails Dr. Benson's recent work with colleagues in the field of genetics, which links mind body treatments to the healing of a steadily expanding number of medical conditions. Mind and body have become part of a scientific and medical whole; together they represent a complete approach to healing and maximal well-being. In clear, straightforward language, Benson and Proctor cite the experiences of real people to show how mind body techniques have the potential not only to enhance healing but also to reduce health costs to individuals and to society as a whole. \u003ci\u003eRelaxation Revolution \u003c\/i\u003eshines a light on the future of medicine.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHerbert Benson, MD, \u003c\/b\u003e is the Mind Body Medical Institute Associate Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School.
