“In the polarized, nonintegrative era twenty-five years ago—the earliest days of introducing natural health and integrative practices into regular care—the arrival on the scene of a healer advocate for a more balanced medicine, who happened to be both army officer and medical doctor, was a great gift. What some of us did not yet know was that Wayne Jonas, then an emerging leader at the National Institutes of Health and in federal policy, incorporated healing practices and traditions from across the globe into his work to understand, bridge, and transform.”
—John Weeks Editor in Chief, The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine; Publisher, The Integrator Blog

This is required reading for everyone interested in understanding and unleashing our untapped healing potential.”

“Wayne Jonas is a scientist, physician, teacher, storyteller, and, ultimately, a healer.

"Written by experienced military medical doctor and evidence-based expert Dr. Wayne Jonas, How Healing Works entertains us with fascinating stories from his vast and varied experience while providing a science-based way to improve our health without overusing expensive interventions that are bankrupting our healthcare systems. The integrative system he proposes transcends all traditions so is open to all. He doesn't argue that you can 'think yourself better', but provides a common sense, evidence-based roadmap for improved healing and wellness. Dr. Jonas shows that the evidence for common sense self-healing has reached a tipping point, and we need to take it more seriously of our healthcare systems are to survive. How Healing Works is a must read for doctors and patients-for all of us."
—Dr. Jeremy Howick, author of Doctor You, Director of the Oxford Empathy Programme, senior researcher at the University of Oxford
