Now, in this revolutionary book, he eloquently dissects how in Western countries that pride themselves  on  their  health  care  systems,  chronic illness and general ill health are on the rise. So what is really “normal” when it comes to health?\u003cbr\u003e    For  all  our  expertise  and  technological  sophistication, Western medicine often fails to treat the whole person, ignoring how today’s culture stresses the body, burdens the immune system, and undermines emotional balance. In \u003ci\u003eThe Myth of Normal\u003c\/i\u003e, co-written with his son Daniel, Maté brings his perspective to the great untangling of common myths about what makes us sick, connects the dots between the maladies of individuals and the declining soundness of society, and offers a compassionate guide for health and healing. The result is Maté’s most ambitious and urgent book yet.","brand":"Gabor Maté, MD \/ Daniel Maté","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover \/ Used - Very Good","offer_id":55352732909736,"sku":"U-03844-2","price":14.75,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0534\/4398\/5576\/files\/BNCImageAPI_c452a4f5-717f-4640-a593-87fee0132c91.jpg?v=1774145101","url":"https:\/\/lafabrands.ca\/products\/the-myth-of-normal","provider":"LAFA Brands","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
