Dr. Mauro and Oprah Winfrey Gave The Same Prescription

The Thursday before last, I was sitting down with a patient who is going through a lot of trouble in her life. Not just health, but otherwise. I suggested she get a copy of a film that I've been recommending to my patients for a while.

Later that day she calls the office to let me know that same film was just featured on Oprah.

For those who missed it, Oprah interviewed the creator of the movie "The Secret" -- an Australian lady by the name of Rhonda Byrne. Larry King Live also interviewed Dr. Joe Vitale about his involvement with "The Secret" movie a couple months ago.

In short, it is a documentary-style film that reveals the great "secret of life." Simply put: What you think is what you attract. They back it up with real-life examples and interviews with successful authors, speakers, writers, doctors (!) who've all consciously applied this principle in their life.

Now Oprah focused on using the secret to get out of debt, find a more fulfilling job and attract your dream mate. All noble goals, but I'd like to talk about how "The Secret" applies to improving your health...

If you've already seen the film, you know that it briefly tells the story of Morris E. Goodman, AKA "The Miracle Man."

At 35, people called Mr. Goodman, Mr. Success -- up until the accident.

He was one of the leading life insurance businessman in the world and a member of The Million Dollar Round Table.

On March 10th, 1981, all that money became useless.

That afternoon, he took off in his private airplane for a pleasure flight. He left behind a loving wife and a beautiful home.

When trying to land a few hours later, the plane crashed. The paramedics had to use a hand pump keep him breathing after the rescue team removed him from the wreckage. He was rushed to the hospital...

His entire spine was crushed. The doctors said he'd never walk again.

His diaphragm was useless. The doctors said he'd never breathe again without a respirator.

His larynx was destroyed. The doctors said he'd never speak.

His swallowing reflexes were so damaged he'd never be able to eat again.

It was rare for anyone to even survive two severe breaks to the neck. The doctor confessed to his wife, "I don't think he'll survive the night."

Morris' eyes could still blink, however. His brain was undamaged. Using an alphabet chart held in front of him, he told the doctor that he'd walk out on his own two feet, without mechanical aid, by Christmas.

All he had was his mind and the ability to imagine. He heard Zig Ziglar say once that our nervous system cannot tell the difference between imagination and reality. Morris spent his days visualizing himself the way he wanted to be...

Then one night he started to breathe on his own. The respirator was removed by an astounded physician.

A month or so later, he could move his hands. He was assigned a physiotherapist.

Then he could "control" an electric wheelchair (to the terror of other patients).

Finally he started to stand with the aid of a walker.

Nine months after the crash he walked out of the hospital on his own two feet, with no supports.

This is how "The Great Secret of Life" can be used to overcome your current health problems. It doesn't mean you should abandon treatments and remedies. Morris had help for his nine month journey. It just means you need to believe in yourself more than any given cure.

If you'd like to have your own copy of film, I recommend clicking this link, as it costs less for Canadians.

The DVD also includes a moving story of a woman who cured herself of breast cancer without any chemotherapy or radiation. See what route she took instead...

Yours in health,

P.S. If you think you have mental blocks over getting well, we need to talk. I firmly believe that if the mind isn't working with us, no matter what treatments I offer you, they'll have little effect. If you'd like to sit down and discuss how you feel about your ability to get better, I'd encourage you book an appointment with me at (519) 739 2402.

We can set definite goals, definite dates and work together to achieve them. I strongly encourage you to put your goals in writing. It's one of the best ways to avoid the negative self-talk that creates a downward spiral, quickly. You need to write down and constantly visualize all the positive things that will come about by meeting your health goals. You also need to be aware of what will be the result if you do not meet your goals.

It's vital to get pumped up with enthusiasm if you want to make changes in your life. You can leverage your will power with motivation and support. If I can help, call (519) 739-2402 to book an appointment.

P.P.S. I'm heading off for an overdue vacation next week. Me, Natalia, Alek and Ella are flying south! More later...
