Abstract
We live in a culture currently dominated by health and nutrition concerns. There’s a preference for organic foods—everything natural; a mistrust of anything “unnatural,” including vaccinations, antibiotics, medications of all sorts; and a preference for a range of non-medical “medicines,” like nutrients and vitamins. In addition, there’s a desire for “alternative treatments” such as health spas, yoga, acupuncture, and body detoxifications.

Because we as professionals often overlook crucial insights such as these and many others, when too rapidly assigning unproven emotional (and also incorrect neurological) causes to Jenny-like mental symptoms without carefully examining the soma. In fact, all of this book’s insights resulted from the unmasking and correction of these and related misassumptions.
