The Individual as the Foundation

The receipts behind Chapter 22

Public health has done more for the population than any physician, and I say so before I argue with it. In the last chapter of The Pained Brain I show why the best-proven lifestyle program in America reached 455,954 of 88 million, why a school bus driver’s recovery changed her husband and eleven people in a church parking lot, and why hopelessness is a prognostic factor I can change in a single visit.

The book makes the argument. This supplement shows the evidence, claim by claim: the study, who was in it, the number and where it sits in the paper, what it does not show — and the questions to bring to your own physician. It is written to be handed to your doctor.
