Super Healing Book Review

Super Healing
by Julie K. Silver, MD

Super Healing by Julie K. Silver, MD, is one of the most incredible books I've read on rehabilitation and the Healing Zone. It is a book of hope for those that want to reach a higher level of health status.

About the Author

Dr. Silver is a well-known authority in physiatry (physical medicine and rehabilitation). She is an assistant professor at Harvard Medical School. She is also on the medical staff at Brigham and Women's, Massachusetts General, and Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospitals.

You may have read her book, After Cancer Treatment: Heal Faster, Better, Stronger. It was recognized by the Library Journal as one of the top health books in 2006.

Dr. Silver is a breast cancer survivor. Although she has been a physiatrist (rehabilitation doctor) for some time, I truly believe when you have treaded the water in the footsteps of others, it makes you more of an expert in your field. She has tread the water and survived.

Super Healing - The Book

What is different about this book than any other one?

This book takes you beyond the normal rehabilitation you would go through if you were injured or ill. Dr. Silver takes you through the Healing Zone, the time after the critical phase of your injury or illness is over.

The Healing Zone is the period of time that you are capable of further physical recovery. This is by no means a set time because each person and their illness or injury is different. This time frame is dependent on each individual and what they want to accomplish.

You will learn to strengthen your natural healing, use your body and mind to master the recovery process speeding your return to optimal health.

You will find a complete plan for your rehabilitation inclusive of:

  • Therapeutic Exercise
  • A Healing Diet
  • Rest and Sleep
  • Alleviating Pain
  • Attitude and Mood
  • Love and Relationships
  • Spiritual Energy
  • Using Your Mind to Heal

Some of these may not sound like something you would expect from a rehabilitation plan or doctor, however they play a major role in your life no matter what your physical condition is.

The principles you will find in this book are backed by research, and even more so because Dr. Silver walked this very path herself. They are defined in easy to understand terms with everything you'll need to start rehabilitation and working with your own doctor.

You'll also read the stories of others that have been through the Healing Zone and recovered from their injury or illness.

I personally believe it is a book of hop. It is a plan that you can use to start your own recovery as you begin to discover many other things about yourself. Start your journey today.

Thank you, Dr. Silver, for sharing your own personal life story and your expertise in the Healing Zone.
