Curing the Incurable: Beyond the Limits of Medicine

Dr Jerry Thompson has been working as a doctor for over four decades, mostly in general practice. He now works part-time in general practice at the Welby Practice, Bottesford, in the East Midlands. He has been a long-standing member of the British Society for Ecological Medicine (BSEM), is a member of the committee and has given regular talks for the society. In the last two decades he has been fascinated by people who have recovered from major illnesses, against the odds, often using methods poorly understood by conventional medicine but applying basic principles of good health. At the same time he became more and more aware of the fact that modern medicine is failing to provide answers for most chronic diseases and for many cancers and yet these diseases have increased at alarming rates. These understandings have led him to believe that a lot more could be done and it is his hope that this book can help people find new solutions for their illnesses based on the best medicine available. This knowledge exists but both doctors and patients are often unfamiliar with it or unaware of it. These insights led him to study nutrition (under BSEM) and the influence of the mind (he has also studied and practiced hypnotherapy, neurolinguistic programming and the emotional freedom technique). He has a special interest in toxicity and was the co-author of The Health Effects of Waste Incinerators published by BSEM. This was well-received and has been translated into two more languages. He has also written many patient leaflets on common conditions which are available on his website www.drjerrythompson.co.uk.
