A collaboration between a traditionally trained physician and a medical intuitive, The Creation of Health illuminates the deep connection between emotional dysfunction and physical illness. It describes the role that emotional disturbances play in the most common diseases and ailments, from influenza, the common cold and arthritis to diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
After providing an introduction to intuitive medicine and its history, method of diagnosis, and relationship to traditional medicine, Myss and Shealy detail the deeper emotional and physical reasons why illness develops in the body. Dr Shealy offers a traditional account of a particular disease or ailment, while Dr Myss sheds light on the deeper emotional and psychic causes through her corresponding energy analysis.
Confirming the link between illness and emotion, The Creation of Health puts forth a groundbreaking vision of holistic healing.

She specializes in assisting people in understanding the emotional, psychological and physical reasons why their bodies develop illness and is widely recognized for her groundbreaking work with Dr C Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D., Director of the Shealy Institute for Comprehensive Pain and Health Care in Springfield, Missouri and co-founder and past president of the American Holistic Medical Association, in teaching intuitive diagnosis.
