I understood how germs aren't the only cause of disease, that health is much more than an absence of disease and how the quality of our relationships may have more to do with how often we get sick and how soon we get well than do genes, diet and other factors. Justice's current research includes serving as principal investigator for Support, Imagery and Immune Function in Breast Cancer for the National Institutes of Health Office of Alternative Medicine and co-investigator for the UT Center for Alternative Medicine Research in Cancer, which is based at the School of Public Health. We have it despite the storms that may occur in our bodies and lives. We may lose parts or functions of our bodies, but our essence as a person retains its integrity, its health, and is there for us to claim. It is then that we become aware of the power and presence of this deeper reality in ourselves.
Justice shows readers that there is a difference between being healed and being cured.
When we die healed, we have used our inner health to bring together what has been split in our lives, in our emotions, in our relationships with others and with God. Living or dying, being well inside ourselves is a matter of tapping the peace and order at the base of our being. The University of Texas Houston Health Science Center.
