Advance Praise for The Inner Pulse:

“I immensely enjoyed reading The Inner Pulse, which explores the connection between the body, mind, and soul in the healing process. I literally couldn’t put this book down. Anyone reading this wonderful book, patient or caregiver, will be moved by the many examples of Dr. Siegel’s impressive medical knowledge, but perhaps even more by his compassion, both of which shine through from the preface to the very last page. If you’re worried that doctors are becoming technologists and losing the healing touch, this book will boost your spirits. Spellbinding!”
—Isadore Rosenfeld, M.D., author of
Doctor of the Heart and Symptoms, Rossi Distinguished Professor of Clinical Medicine, Weill Cornell Medical College

“Understanding that mind, body, and spirit are a unified entity is vital to our health and healing. When we help people experience love in their lives, the body gets the message and helps them to survive. The Inner Pulse contains many words of wisdom and the stories of many interesting experiences. The experience of disease is something doctors are not trained to understand; it is very different from a diagnosis. I give the author credit for becoming a healer who is willing to learn from his life and patients and not remain a mechanistic doctor.”
—Bernie Siegel, M.D., author of
Faith, Hope and Healing and 365 Prescriptions for the Soul

“A groundbreaking book from a great thinker and physician, The Inner Pulse is part poetry, part prose, part prescription—and all about heart-centered healing. This book will literally save lives.”
—Keith Ablow, M.D.,
New York Times bestselling coauthor of The 7: Seven Wonders That Will Change Your Life

“What makes Marc Siegel a truly great doctor is his uncanny ability to understand what ails a patient above and beyond the specific diagnosis: the profound importance a person’s own attitude has on health. If you go around thinking that the sky is falling, soon enough it will. If, on the other hand, as Dr. Siegel writes brilliantly in The Inner Pulse, you have a positive attitude about life and the future, you will fare far better than your gloomy counterpart. Rich in anecdotes and evidence, this terrifically well-written and important book is a road map to a walk on the sunny side of the street.”
—Geraldo Rivera, host of
Geraldo at Large

“Dr. Marc Siegel has discovered a truly revolutionary approach to health and life by revealing the secrets of our inner pulse. Dr. Siegel is a highly respected and gifted physician whose great gift to the world may well be helping us find our inner pulse. If we really understood the pulse, it might unlock secrets to a healthier body, a more balanced temper, or a more contented marriage.”
—Former Governor Mike Huckabee, host of
Huckabee

In BIRD FLU, Dr. Marc Siegel cuts through the hype, the facts, the fears, and the realities, to explain what has the experts so worried and why there's plenty of reason to be calm.

 

According to the Toronto Globe and Mail, "New York University professor and practising internist Marc Siegel is a dab hand at limning public hysteria.... Siegel, a reasonable man, discusses why some experts are worried, but also why panic is vastly premature, as well as a worse threat than the illness itself..."

 

Among the questions he answers are:

  • What is Bird Flu, and who has it?

  • What can I do to protect my family?

  • Should I stockpile Tamiflu?

  • Will this be like the deadly Spanish Flu of 1918?

  • Why is there no Bird Flu vaccine?

  • Will the annual flu shot protect me?

In his sensible and entertaining style, Siegel looks at the advances we've made in treatments, the research still to be done, and the challenges ahead for Asia to lay out a realistic plan for ending this global threat. While a Bird Flu outbreak in the U.S. seems unlikely, there's still a great deal of work to be done in readying America for outbreaks of any kind.
