About the Book

Why do some people recover from illnesses that should have killed them?

For over fifty years, Dr Dinesh Verma has lived with that question. As a physician trained in Western medicine, he knew what the textbooks said. But the patients in front of him told a different story—recoveries that defied prognosis, people who healed when they had no business healing. He refused to look away.

The Self-Cure Code maps the terrain where cutting-edge science meets ancient wisdom: epigenetics and consciousness, dreams and belief, the placebo effect and emerging evidence that our thoughts and emotions may literally rewrite our biology. Drawing on decades of clinical experience, landmark research, and extraordinary real-life cases, Dr Verma makes a rigorous and revelatory case that the body's capacity to heal itself is not a mystery to be marvelled at, but a mechanism to be understood.

Part memoir, part scientific inquiry, part practical guide, this book asks: What if the most powerful medicine available to you has been inside you all along?
