About the book
Eva M. Selhub, MD knows one unequivocal
truth about human health: Just because a disease enters the body does
not mean its symptoms will manifest.
Eva M. Selhub, MD
has sought out the differences between a body that can fight a pathogen
and one that cannot, between one prone to illness and one prone to
health. She found that the key factor in stopping and reversing
disease, maintaining health, and improving rather than deteriorating
with age is the giving and receiving of love and affection.
Dr.
Selhub terms her proprietary approach The Love Response TM (TLR) - the
chain of bio-chemical processes that occur in the body when a person
operates from love that ultimately results in health and well-being.
Over 30 years of research has pointed to the benefits of eliciting the
relaxation response, as coined by Dr. Herbert Benson. Now, Dr. Selhub
has taken this work to the next level by incorporating love into the
meditative experience. She has found that when love is infused into
the process of meditation, or eliciting the Relaxation Response, a
positive physiology takes over that allows the body to heal and allows
joy to dominate your existence. Love represents a fusion of varied
emotions, thoughts, positive neuropathways and reward mechanisms that
ultimately allow the body, mind and spirit to maintain equilibrium.
This is The Love Response TM.
Dr. Selhub’s
patients have triumphed over serious medical conditions and destructive
emotional patterns. Not only have her patients managed to achieve
better health, but also happier lives, finding successful relationships
and rewarding careers.
The Love Response is far more
than a concept, it is a revelation. What we all want most in life –
love in its all forms – is also what is best for us. All we need is
help staying on love’s course. Dr. Selhub has created a real guide for
healing, well-being and, ultimately, for life.
