BRAVE NEW MEDICINE: A DOCTOR’S UNCONVENTIONAL PATH TO HEALING HER AUTOIMMUNE ILLNESS
Book ID/图书代码： 09700019C00024
English Summary/英文概要： In this revelatory memoir, Doctor Cynthia Li shares the truth about her disabling autoimmune illness, the limitations of Western medicine, and her hard-won lessons on healing—mind, body, and spirit.
Li had it all: a successful career in medicine, a loving marriage, children on the horizon. But it all came crashing down when, after developing an autoimmune thyroid condition, mysterious symptoms began consuming her body. Test after test came back "within normal limits," baffling her doctors—and baffling herself. Housebound with two young children, Li began a solo odyssey from her living room couch to find a way to heal.
Brave New Medicine details the physical and existential crisis that forces a young doctor to question her own medical training. She dives into the root causes of her illness, learning to unlock her body’s innate intelligence and wholeness. Li relates her story with the insight of a scientist, and the humility and candor of a patient, exploring the emotional and spiritual shifts beyond the physical body.
Millions of people worldwide are affected by autoimmune disease. While complex conditions like chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) are gaining attention, patients struggling with these mysterious ailments remain largely dismissed by their doctors, families, and friends. This is the harsh reality that doctor-turned-"difficult patient" Li faced firsthand.
Drawing on cutting-edge science, ancient healing arts, and the power of intuition, this memoir offers support, validation, and a new perspective for doctors and patients alike. Through her story, you can find the wisdom and heart to start your own healing journey, too.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在这本启示性的回忆录中，Cynthia Li博士分享了她致残性自身免疫疾病的真实情况，描述了西医的局限性以及那些来之不易的锻炼身心健康的课程。
Li拥有了一切人们想要的：成功的医学事业，充满爱的婚姻，即将出生的孩子。但当她患上自身免疫性甲状腺疾病后，神秘的症状开始吞噬她的身体时，一切都崩溃了。一次又一次的检查结果显示她的症状“在正常范围内”，她的医生和她自己都感到困惑。Li带着两个年幼的孩子在家里客厅的沙发上开始了一段独行之旅，寻找治愈的方法。
《勇敢的新药》详细描述了身体和生存危机迫使年轻医生质疑她自己的医学经验。她潜心探究疾病的根源，学会释放身体天生的机能。Li将她的故事与如同科学家的洞察力、病人的谦卑和坦率联系起来，探索超越肉体的情感和精神转变。
全世界数百万人受到自身免疫疾病的影响。尽管慢性疲劳综合征（me/cfs）等复杂病症正在引起人们的关注，但与这些神秘疾病作斗争的患者仍被医生、家人和朋友所忽视。这正是人们在医生纷纷转战“困难病人”后要面对的残酷现实。
这本回忆录借鉴了尖端科学、传统治疗方式和直觉力量，为医生和病人提供了支持、信心和全新的视角。通过她的故事你也可以获得新的智慧，开始你自己的疗愈之旅。（YYW）
