If you are sick - see a doctor. He wants to heal, and the doctor wants to heal. However, in the battle intoxication of working together and "overcoming" the disease, mostly none of them asks the question: what does the disease mean? What does the symptom indicate? This book looks for exactly these questions and gives its own peculiarly new answers. Every disease is a physical manifestation of some kind of spiritual conflict - the authors claim. We may be tormented by toothache or enteritis, asthma or rheumatism, itching or high blood pressure - all of these are caused by mental problems. Moreover, even road accidents do not happen by accident! The goal is therefore not only to "cure" the disease, not only to correct the "error" that occurred in our physical-physiological functioning, but to reveal the symbolism of the disease and to solve the patient's basic problem. The path to wholeness is for those who really want and dare to face themselves - with their illness and what this illness reveals. The symptoms of diseases without exception carry a deeper meaning, as a message from our soul, they encourage us to find ourselves on the path to wholeness. The book by the classic author couple, Thorwald Dethlefsen and Ruediger Dahlke, has not lost its truth and popularity since its first publication. Nothing proves this better than the fact that the book has sold more than a million copies worldwide.
