Dr. Steve Bierman
About this listen
In Healing: Beyond Pills & Potions, Dr. Steve Bierman draws on 40 years of clinical experience to restore Mind to medicine and Humanism to healing. Citing case histories from his own remarkable emergency medicine and medical hypnosis practices, Dr. Bierman compels us to acknowledge what material science refuses to see - namely, that Mind Matters. Then, in easy digestible steps, he teaches us how simple refinements of everyday communication (speech and gestures) can enable us to achieve stunningly positive outcomes and lasting cures.
Working as an emergency physician, Dr. Bierman became renowned for performing painless procedures - from simple injections and laceration repairs to childbirth to electrical cardioversion. But his other less-celebrated outcomes were equally astonishing: perilous heart rhythms converted to normal with a few well-chosen words, hemorrhages arrested, airways opened, bad habits (smoking) broken - all with a few choice phrases and easy delivery techniques.
In his private practice, Dr. Bierman used the same skills to forestall auto-immune diseases, shrink deadly tumors, relieve depression, ameliorate cardiac disease and ensure bloodless, painless surgeries - in essence, to help patients recover their desired wellness. Many of his cures seem like miracles. But, as Dr. Bierman explains, they are the inevitable consequence of an expanded understanding of disease causality and the focused power of ideas.
Healing: Beyond Pills & Potions unravels the mysteries of ritual, hypnosis and Placebo, and places the curative power of those phenomena in the hands of patients and caregivers. Here, health is redefined, and the true nature of symptom formation is explored and clarified. With these new conceptual tools, Dr. Bierman teaches both patients and caregivers how to avoid inadvertent “curses,” while instead promoting healing and restoring health.
Artful caregivers, as Dr. Bierman calls them, will learn from Healing what their professional education failed to teach them - namely, how to deliver information correctly, by avoiding harm while promoting health. They will also learn how to achieve “deep cures,” by uprooting the persisting causes of illness. As a consequence, clinicians will experience a deeper sense of fulfillment and gratification than ever before, as they open themselves to the wonders of painless procedures, bloodless surgeries, unexpectedly positive outcomes and enduring cures.
Patients who listen to Healing will learn two lessons. First, that if ideas can harm, then other ideas can help. Through this knowledge, patients will learn to gain agency over their own health and healing in a way conventional medicine routinely ignores. Second, patients will learn what they can and should expect of their caregivers, and how to assist those caregivers who have not yet learned the exquisite art of caregiving.
This is the book every patient should read at least once, and every caregiver should read at least once a year. A book about mastery of the healing arts, written by a master clinician. As one noted academic has written: Healing: Beyond Pills & Potions is one of the most significant works on health and healing in modern times. It will survive the ages.

Ivermectin is a dirty word in the media. The drug has been derided and declared useless. Doctors have earnestly recorded pleas asking those afflicted with COVID-19 not to take the drug. But why? The War on Ivermectin is the personal and professional narrative of Dr. Pierre Kory, the co-founder of an expert group of physicians, and his plight to alert the world of his group's identification of ivermectin as a highly effective, life-saving, widely available generic medicine with an obvious ability to end the global pandemic.

Story
In the popular imagination, hypnosis is misconstrued as something done to people, as if the hypnotist hypnotizes them. And hypnotherapy is similarly misconceived as something done to clients' problems, as if the therapist could unilaterally counter or cure them. In a refreshing departure from conception-as-usual, Douglas Flemons offers another view. He explains and illustrates how hypnosis, like meditation, is invited, not induced, and how hypnotherapy entails the altering and unraveling of knotted strands of experience, not the controlling and abolishing of labeled afflictions.

Nearly 70 percent of Americans are on at least one prescription drug; more than half take two. In Canada, every fifth person has high blood pressure. In Europe, hypertension is diagnosed in more than 30 percent of the population. And everywhere, adolescent mental illness is on the rise. So what is really “normal” when it comes to health?

In Cured, Dr. Rediger digs down to the root causes of illness, showing how to create an environment that sets the stage for healing. He reveals the patterns behind healing and lays out the physical and mental principles associated with recovery: first, we need to physically heal our diet and our immune systems. Next, we need to mentally heal our stress response and our identities. Through rigorous research, Dr. Rediger shows that much of our physical reality is created in our minds. Our perception changes our experience, even to the point of changing our physical bodies.

19 years later, I’m working with others, and I enjoy the hopeless cases, because I believe in fantastic turnarounds for those who continue to seek relief and re-constitution.
I’ve had 3 clients with massive physical symptoms have spontaneous remission of there symptoms but I had no training for this, nor sought it.
I simply helped them in their seeking and with zero promises. 2 had acute symptoms.
This book helped me to see why I got results with these clients I had, one of which had a spine pop back into place within the next breath after letting go of all resentment, bias, injustice, victimization ect...
I urged them back to their doctors both medical and Chiropractic to get re-diagnosed, which they loathed to do as all pain left and good spinal movement returned.
One called me and asked what I did... how I touched them... ect... it was certified / documented, and now no need for surgery, rods, fusing and life long debility.
I did nothing but help them feel good about letting go of pain. And so they did let go, and the breath then nudged the skewed vertebrae back into its original place.
I was led by a inner vision, but you likely won’t need that, as this long and effective book will support you in know about these profound possibilities.
Such a remarkable author and lover of life, fore who cannot love life when one has done such good things as this wise doctor and compassionate professional?
Wow! Super rad ;-) haha

This week I listened to just such a book:
HEALING – Beyond Pills & Potions, by emergency physician and hypnotherapist Steve Bierman, offers paradigm-shifting insights into how we as clinicians and healers communicate with our patients
It is about hypnotherapy, and so much more. It is about using our words and our role as carers to best benefit those who trust in us to provide care
As a psychiatric nurse practitioner I appreciate the insights into the human mind
As an emergency nurse practitioner for many years I absolutely resonate with Dr. Bierman’s to-the-point approach to care (he is an experienced emergency physician)
Given all the books that I read, I don’t say this often: I cannot recommend this book strongly enough for any healthcare provider and anyone in healthcare period.
Check out his website, and buy this book! I purchased the Audible version, the kindle version, and the hardback.
I’ve been interested in and reading about hypnotherapy for many, many years, and this is the impetus for me to jump back into the subject.
Must-read for healers and clinicians
