Curing the Incurable through Unconventional Means

Journalist Susannah Meadows tells the real-life stories of seven families who persisted when traditional medicine alone wasn’t enough — taking us to the outer frontiers of medical science and cutting-edge complementary therapies, as she explores research into the mind’s potential to heal the body, the possible role food may play in reversing disease, the power of agency, perseverance, and hope — and more.

In discussion with New York Times Personal Health columnist Jane Brody, Meadows brings us behind her research and discussions with scientists, researchers, psychologists, nutritionists and more, as she uncovers new information about traditional and nontraditional medicine.

“[Meadows] has compiled compelling stories about people who faced and ultimately surmounted daunting medical challenges. . . . Their stories left me in awe of their persistence against formidable odds.” — The New York Times
