Review “An original and insightful look at health, illness and the healing process by a dedicated complementary practitioner from whose work I have benefitted personally.” (Gabor Maté M.D. Testimonial) “One of the things that Dr. Bolliger is most passionate about is transforming the world through healing. One of the greatest acts of love is giving the gift of personal power. Therefore, Dr. Bolliger has written a book that will transform the way you view your health and healing process - ‘What Patients Don’t Say if Doctors Don’t Ask... the Mindful Patient-Doctor Relationship’. By reading this book, you will come to realize that we truly have full control over our own bodies.” (Janet Bray Attwood - NY Times Author - The Passion Test Testimonial) “Many books on health and wellness populate the shelves of bookstores, but Dr. Bolliger’s book carves a uniqe space of its own. I was struck by the interesting balance it provided for a variety of readers. I think it serves doctors and patients alike to investigate the insight she has developed over her years of clinical interactions with people challenged with a wide variety of health concerns in the current environment of North American health care. Dr. Bolliger has a way of integrating current scientific research with traditional lore in a manner that harmonizes the perceived chasm between them. She describes her journey to her philosophical stance in a way that entices and enlightens without preaching, and does so with a poetic flair. Above all, this is an engaging and interesting read.” (Dr. David Scotten ND, Med. Dean of Academics, Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine Testimonial) “Dr Bolliger’s message is clear. Unless we approach illness from a biopsychological spiritual perspective, we are unfortunately doomed to experience - in one form or another - a repeat of what ails us. Her book celebrates a new relationship - one that urges all to ‘step up’ and challenge the assumptions behind ‘band-aid approaches’ and the war against the body. It’s a compelling must read book for anyone motivated in the pursuit of true health.” (Suzanne LaCombe Ed. D. R. Psych Testimonial) This book examines the role scientific research and Big Pharma has played in remodeling medicine as we know it, empowering patients to take back control of their own health.
