Love Your Disease - It's Keeping You Healthy: Dr. John Harrison

Harrison claims that disease is both self-created and self-cured. Rather than being the result of bad luck, chance or external influences, our illnesses are our choice. We choose, often subconsciously, to be ill because of the advantages it brings: attention, solitude, love, respite from work and many others - and so, by being ill, we care for ourselves. Harrison argues we can use our illness to learn more about ourselves and cites examples from his own experience to show that, once we understand why we have made ourselves ill, we can learn to become well, using the same power to remove our illness as we used to create it.
