Sorry, our power went out for 4 hours. I was going to tell you the name of that book is "Anatomy of an Illness" by Norman Cousins. It was in the 60's(approx) he got soooo sick with AS, and his Dr's had honestly told him to give up, that he would soon die. He ditched the gloomy hospital for a lush hotel room (cheaper than the hospital). He had a Dr./Friend that he trusted set him up with the IV therapy, and he watched funny movies. He got better and better, eventually went into remission. Several years later he saw the Dr. that told him to lay down and die and needless to say, Cousins was healthy and the Dr. was chagrined. There, now you don't have to buy the book like I did. It is an interesting read though.
