The Survival Paradox is a much-needed paradigm shift that offers life-changing inspiration and guidance for deep, transformative healing on all levels. A must-read!”
If you or a loved one are coping with a chronic illness, recovering from an injury, or facing physical or emotional stress—your body's healing ability can be overwhelmed.
When that happens, your own built-in natural defenses can get stuck in overdrive and wind up turning against you.
We call this state: survival mode.
Over time, as this silent battle rages on inside of you, it does long-term damage to your health and well-being-and puts you at risk for serious illness.
And that, in a nutshell, is what I call the Survival Paradox.
So how do you do it?
The key is transforming your survival response so it can work for you, not against you.
Once you do this, you can unlock your body’s infinite healing potential and open the door to truly vibrant physical, emotional, mental, and psycho-spiritual health.
For years I’ve helped my patients access their deepest healing abilities, and now I show you how to do it yourself in my new book. In it I teach you exactly how to break the survival paradox and unlock your body's infinite healing potential.
So you can enjoy the best health of your life.
For the last three decades, through my medical clinic, my two nonprofit organizations, and through collaboration with leading academic institutions across the globe, I’ve researched and treated cancer and complex diseases using integrative medicine—the synergistic combination of Western medical treatments and complementary therapies drawn from different systems.
The fundamental intention of this holistic approach is to open more doors for recovery, transformation, and healing so that patients emerge with greater strength, vitality, and a more profound and satisfying experience of life itself. While considering the whole picture in both disease and healing, my research kept bringing me back to the survival paradox, what drives it, and how we do or don’t recover from it.

For more than a quarter century, I have received the unique care of Dr. Isaac Eliaz. I have
learned that the treatment of any ailment is profoundly affected by the relationship we have with
our own healing. Thanks to Isaac, I now know it as a partnership rather than a struggle. This
book will help you understand these invaluable lessons it takes many a lifetime to accept. — Jason Rezaian, Global Opinions Writer for the Washington Post and author of Prisoner: My
544 Days in an Iranian Prison
I’ve been trained in diverse systems including Western allopathic medicine, traditionalChinese medicine, acupuncture, and others. I’ve extensively studied and practiced Buddhist meditation and mind-body healing methods, Western and Eastern herbal pharmacopeia, and served as the personal physician to renowned Buddhist masters all over the world.
Collaborating with academic institutions and co authoring peer-reviewed studies is asimportant in my training as the time I’ve spent with monks in remote mountains.The integration of these studies and experiences has allowed me to develop a truly holistic, multidimensional perspective on health, disease, and healing.
Above all, I have learned to let go of the expectations and dogmatic paradigms of our current medical systems, conventional and alternative. People often say I think “outside the box,” to which I respond that there was never a box to begin with. There was just the perception of one.
