Is it possible to become healthy again – after being diagnosed with an incurable disease? What abilities and traits are needed for people to recover from rheumatism, cancer and other diseases. Kurt Langbein looks into the new paths to recovery – and how to learn using them.

We all care about health but more and more people grow uncertain. In mainstream medicine, patients feel like they are being reduced to their bodily functions, alternative medicine is on the rise and health is as marketable as never before. Kurt Langbein has been investigating the health sector for over 35 years and is the author of bestsellers like "Bitter Pills" and "White Paper of Healing" and director of award-winning documentaries ("Wonder Healing"). Now he shows how well our self-healing powers work – what disrupts them, which claims are fiction and which are fact, who heals and who merely cashes in – and how other cultures approach the topic "health".
