In his new book, Dr. Samuel Mann presents a pioneering understanding of the unrecognized role in the mind-body connection of emotions that we don’t feel and are completely unaware of. Vivid case histories and supportive evidence will strongly convey the powerful role of repression of painful emotion as a widely unrecognized key component of both our emotional resilience and of the mind-body connection. More importantly, he highlights how this understanding can empower readers to seek healing pathways or pharmacologic approaches that would not have been considered.

Hypertension and You

Old Drugs, New Drugs and the Right Drugs for Your High Blood Pressure

This book focuses on the drug treatment of hypertension with the message that even though we have many effective drugs millions are living with inadequate blood pressure control and/or avoidable side effects because they are not on the medication that is right for them.
