Foreword

When faced with life-challenging illnesses, there are a number of responses open to us:

Dermots path to health recovery weaves together the proven, timeless healing wisdom of the East with the latest discoveries in health psychology and medical science to form a seamless holistic approach to reclaiming our health. The result is the Healing Code.

In the pages of this book, Dermot reveals many wonders, ranging from the miracles of optimum nutrition to the powerful healing arts of medical chi kung and cutting-edge mind-medicine technologies for self-healing. But the most wonderful thing about Dermots approach is this: it works! Focusing on the things that work this is the guiding principle that has led Dermot to unravel the secrets of the Healing Code. No prejudices, no preconceptions, no gimmicks just a relentless commitment to finding the truth about health and healing.

The reason for Dermots honest approach is disarmingly simple: confronted with a life-challenging illness, Dermot simply couldnt afford to get it wrong. He could depend only on facts tried and tested approaches, based on evidence and results. Dermots journey has been an inspiring one. And the best part of the journey is the triumphant return, laden with riches that he is eager to share.

Now established as one of Europes leading practitioners of Eastern medicine, including acupuncture and medical chi kung, Dermot has honed his unique sensitivity to therapeutic techniques that actually have health-giving value. Having dealt with therapists and holistic practitioners around the country, I recognise in the Healing Code an approach that is comprehensive, progressive and distinctly personal. Dermots emphasis on using the proven elements of Eastern and Western medicine side by side is refreshing and astute, and I hope it will inspire the average person to experience for themselves the profound health benefits to be found in holistic therapies.

The Healing Code system is an eminently sensible, logical and practical plan of action for people who want to reclaim their health in the face of serious and life-challenging illness. Dermot sets out, step by step, the right way to do the right things. If you want to get healthy against the odds and if you want to stay healthy the Healing Code will prepare you for success. Knowing that youre doing everything in your power to win that in itself is a potent sign of imminent healing. And that knowledge is only the first of the secrets of the Healing Code...

I commend this book to you, and I trust that your journey, too, will lead to healing, health and happiness.

Introduction

If theres one thing I say to those who use me as their example, its that if you ever get a second chance in life, youve got to go all the way.

T his book will reveal many secrets. I promise that these secrets will heal, transform and revitalise your life. The book brings together the five key elements consistently used by men and women throughout history to successfully recover from a spectrum of life-challenging illness from heart disease to MS, diabetes and cancer. These elements encompass the Healing Code, a complete system, which is supported by medical science and guaranteed to enhance the resurgence of well-being.

Let us have no illusions: being diagnosed with a life-threatening illness is a challenge that requires an Olympian reaction. Anyone who succeeds in the battle against such an illness is no less a hero than any gold medallist, and success requires dedication and commitment. Those who succeed in this challenge may not get a place on a podium, but their prize is far more valuable than any gold medal. The prize is life itself.
