Dr. Norm Shealy - Awakening the Healer Within

By the time he was 4 years old, Norm Shealy knew he wanted to be a physician. Just how far down the road that would take him, he could never have imagined at that time. Shortly after graduating from Duke Medical School, and beginning his career as an accomplished neurosurgeon, Dr. Shealy noted: ''The most common symptom in the world is pain, and yet nobody specializes in it.'' At this early phase of his medical life, he decided to look into pain, what causes it, what we can do about it, and how it affects us as human beings. His passion lead to the research and study of energy and alternative medicine and he later created Medical Intuition with Carolyn Myss, as well as numerous publications and programs that empower the self healing abilities at all levels. Consulting and researching with acupuncturists, mystics, faith healers, color therapists, folk healers, and other non-traditional therapists, and blending this new knowledge with his medical background, Dr. Shealy came to the conclusion that, while none of these methods was THE cure for chronic pain, almost all of them had developed a documented history of being able to successfully eliminate chronic pain in a good number of their attempts. It is at this juncture that he decided that ''It is the interaction of the four main fields of stress; the chemical, physical, electromagnetic, and emotional; that is the cause of all illness…not some, all.''
