The Story
Dr John Harrison claims that disease is both self-created and self-cured. Rather than being the result of bad luck, chance or external influences, our illnesses are our choice. We choose, often subconsciously, to be ill because of the advantages illness can bring us including attention, solitude, love and respite from work. The author argues that we can use illness to learn more about ourselves, and cites examples from his own experience to show that we can learn to become well, using the same power to remove our illness as we used to create it.
