The Book That Started It All
The Healing
Divide
Why We Resist Natural and Alternative Healing Modalities
Foreword by Richard G. Michal, M.D. — Duke Medical School
What if the greatest obstacle to your patients' healing isn't their diagnosis — it's the story they've been told about their own body?
About the Book
Four years of research. One honest answer.
This is not an anti-medicine book. It is a pro-understanding book. Drawing on cutting-edge science, real patient stories, and conversations with practitioners across disciplines, The Healing Divide examines why people resist natural and alternative healing modalities — even when the information is accessible and the evidence is compelling.
Mike Beverly spent 3½ years researching the cultural, psychological, and institutional forces that shape trust in healing. What he found changed how he works with practitioners — and ultimately led to the 29-Day Healing Gap framework.
Whether you are a practitioner, a patient, or simply someone trying to make sense of a fragmented healthcare landscape, this book gives you a framework for understanding the divide — and crossing it.
