'Dr. Chopra is a fine, evocative riter who maneuvers his way suavely through medicine, physics, and metaphysics. For anyone who has awaited a Tao of Medicine, this book is a most welvome arrival.'-The New England Journal of Medicine

'Deepak Chopra's book Quantum Healing is must reading for every advanced-or should I say evolved-health-care giver. It will widen our horizons, enlarge our comprehension, and help us grasp the path we are on into the new century, exciting, stimulating, and highly recommended.'-Elizebeth Kubler-Ross, M.D.

Here is an extraordinary new approach to healing by an extraordinary physician-writer-a book filled with the mystery, wonder, and hope of people who have experienced seemingly miraculous recoveries from cancer and other serious illnesses.

Dr. Deepak Chopra, a respected New England endocrinologist, began his search for answers when he saw patients in his own practice who completely recovered after being given only a few months to live. In the mid-1980s he returned to his native India to explore Ayurveda, humanity's most ancient healing tradition. Now he has brought together the current research of Western medicine, neuroscience, and phsyics with the insights of Ayurvedic theory to show that the human body is controlled by a 'network of intelligence' grounded in quantum reality. Not a superficial psychological state, this intelligence lies deep enough to change the basic patterns that design our physiology-with the potential to defeat cancer, heart disease, and evern aging itself. In this inspiring and pioneering work, Dr. Chopra offers us both a fascinating intellectual journey and a deeply moving chronicle of hope and healing.

'Dr. Chopra writes with almost magical simplicity...This is an improtant book for anyone nterested in maintaining or restoring health.'-Marilyn Ferguson, author of The Aquarian Conspiracy

'In a highly readable manner, Dr. Chopra shows the relevance and wisdom of a number of the concepts of Ayurveda to a modern systems/information theory of ehalth and illness as exelplified by the repidly developing field of psychoneuroimmunology.'-George Freeman Solomon, M.D., professor of psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences, University of California, Los Angeles
