Dr. Gabor Maté: When the Body Says No: Understanding the Stress-Disease Connection 1 of 2

The Vancouver-based Dr. Gabor Maté argues that too many doctors seem to have forgotten what was once a commonplace assumptionthat emotions are deeply implicated in both the development of illness and in the restoration of health. Based on medical studies and his own experience with chronically ill patients at the Palliative Care Unit at Vancouver Hospital, where he was the Medical Coordinator for seven years, Dr. Gabor Mate makes the case that there are important links between the mind and the immune system. He found that stress and individual emotional makeup play critical roles in an array of diseases.

I really love this guy. 

[Gmorroth]

Read his books! Spread the word!

[Travis Blackney]

I suggest people read his books before they go making irrational statements that are based on their own opinions (which I'm sorry to tell you don't deserve respect without real knowledge). Dr. Mate grew up in a very stressful environment as a baby and has suffered from his own addictions, this is what has given him such amazing insight. Judging him is a pathetic attempt to devalue his findings

[Sandra T.]
