Multiple sclerosis (MS) can be a terrifying diagnosis for anyone to face.

It covers a wide variety of problems, everything from symptom management to sexual function to career opportunities to spirituality.

A team of doctors and psychologists from the Western Multiple Sclerosis Center, the largest MS rehabilitation center in the country, offer this groundbreaking workbook for helping people with MS manage every aspect of their lives, covering topics ranging from managing medical and psychological symptoms to improving their sex lives, from budgeting their finances to exploring employment opportunities.

Intuitive Wellness: Using Your Body's Inner Wisdom to Heal

Author: Laura Alden Kamm

Twenty years ago, Laura Alden Kamm recovered from a near-death experience with the amazing new ability to telepathically scan the structure of a person's body and see inner disturbances in intricate detail. Kamm also had the ability to see Kirlian fields -- the electromagnetic energies that pulse around all organic matter. She has since created educational programs to train others in the intuitive way to prevent or reverse disease.

Kamm shows us how to become our own healers by both preventing disease before it manifests physically and treating existing conditions. Clearly explaining both ancient and newly developing philosophies that guide her work, she offers quick, simple, and practical exercises that help readers learn about their unique energy systems, develop confidence in their intuition, and resolve emotional and physical pain.
