Doktor Sensin-Kendi Kendini İyileştirme Bilimi

Award-winning Oxford University researcher Dr. Jeremy Howick uses the latest peer-reviewed medical research to equip the reader with scientific evidence to make sound choices about what medications to take, what medications to give to their children, and when (or when not) to let the body do its thing.

Wealthy countries have become significantly dependent on medical advances: On average, one-fifth of all Americans, half of older Britons and two-thirds of older Canadians take at least five prescription drugs a day, their lives a never-ending ritual of swallowing pills and managing their side effects. One in ten people use antidepressants, and millions of boys who can't sit still at school are prescribed methamphetamine. Global healthcare costs are rising at lightning speed, causing this overuse of medications to become increasingly unaffordable.

In You Are the Doctor, Howick explains that the abundance of modern drugs and technologies has blinded us to the fact that the human body produces its own drugs that can treat pain, rid itself of many physical ailments as well as a surgeon, and even combat mild depression like any psychologist. Recent clinical research clearly shows that mental states affect our health: Relaxation, positive thinking, and a comfortable social environment all have measurable health benefits—sometimes as effective as over-the-counter medications.

With a methodical and approachable analysis of the scientific evidence regarding modern medicine's overuse of pharmaceutical interventions and your body's innate power to heal itself, You Are the Doctor will change the way you think about your health, your body, and your approach to medicine.
