This is an exciting time in health-care, where both paradigms of health and well-being are beginning to demonstrate efficacy in arenas where traditional disease-based models have been more limited. Dr. Rediger presents a summary of 16 years of investigation into patients with indisputable evidence for improbable recovery or remarkable achievement involving illnesses traditionally considered incurable, and discusses the most salient factors associated with their recoveries.

The relevance of this is shown for the major killers of western culture, namely, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, autoimmune illness and lung disease. Dr. Rediger illustrates the power of a bio-psycho-social model using traditional biomedical markers for helping us see both health and illness from a different perspective, and concludes by discussing the power of grounded, ethical hope in the context of a science of health and well-being.
