Prepare for Surgery, Heal Faster: A Guide of Mind-Body Techniques
Author: Peggy Huddleston
Recommended in three best-sellers: Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom by Christiane Northrup, M.D., The Wisdom of Menopause by Christiane Northrup, M.D., and Life Makeovers by Cheryl Richardson.
The mind-body techniques in this book help you to feel calmer before surgery, use 23-50% less pain medication and heal faster. Huddleston's five-step program is recommended in leading hospitals across the U.S. including N.Y.U. Medical Center in New York and several Kaiser Permenante Medical Centers in California.
You'll learn to use relaxation to calm preoperative jitters and create the biochemistry that enhances healing. Next you are gently guided to use visualization to turn worries into healing imagery. Add to that the healing power of organizing a support group of family and friends who surround you in love for the half-hour before surgery.
Finally,Healing Statements, words spoken by the anesthesiologist during surgery are one of the five keys to the success of Huddleston's program. Medical research documents that positive statements reduced the use of pain medication following surgery.
The book includes sections on lessening the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, vitamins that speed healing, preparing children for surgery, plus extensive resources and references.
