First, what would you do if you lost the ability to speak? How would survive if one of your five senses did not function normally? For instance, if you lost all depth perception or the ability to recognize faces or shapes, would you enjoy a painting more? Without depth perception, acclaimed neurosurgeon, Dr. Oliver Sacks, actually enjoys viewing a painting even more.   

In his book, "The Mind's Eye", Dr. Sacks discusses how people are able to survive, communicate, and excel in life despite having lost what most of us consider indispensable perceptions and senses. For these people, whose senses function differently, there is a great challenge to adapt to a new way of being in the world.

She overcame many recovery challenges when her treatments caused her much pain and left her very weak. Learn the most effective and current methods for recovering from illness and injury. A unique self-care guide that include, self-assessments and strategy plans to help you evaluate your condition and progress your recovery in her book, "You Can Heal Yourself".
