Overview
How Healing Works is a groundbreaking, evidence-based guide from physician and researcher Dr Wayne Jonas that reveals why so many chronic conditions resist conventional treatment alone. Drawing on nearly 40 years of clinical practice and scientific investigation, Jonas argues that only a fraction of true healing comes from medicine or surgery, with the rest driven by the body's own capacity to repair and restore itself when properly supported.
About the Book
Forty-five per cent of adults live with chronic health problems such as back pain, headaches, fatigue, obesity, diabetes, dementia, and depression, conditions that often progress despite conventional medical care. In How Healing Works, Dr Wayne Jonas draws on his extensive experience as a family physician, military doctor, and health researcher to explain why these illnesses so often resist standard treatment, and what can genuinely be done about it. He presents compelling evidence that as much as 80 per cent of healing comes not from medicine or surgery, but from the body's own internal healing systems, supported by lifestyle, environment, relationships, and mindset. Through real patient stories gathered over decades of practice, he demonstrates how small, targeted changes to diet, movement, sleep, stress management, and social connection can transform outcomes for people living with persistent illness. This is a book for anyone who has felt let down by treatments that address symptoms without resolving underlying problems, offering a genuinely new, actionable approach to lasting health. Written in accessible, engaging prose and grounded in rigorous science, it is an essential read for patients and healthcare professionals alike.
