The ability of the mind to control the body is the subject of this fascinating documentary.
It's said that Indian yogis can stop their hearts at will or remain in an airtight box for hours with no negative health effects. Some believe that proper biofeedback training can improve the mental and physical health of individuals with various illnesses.
Dr. Elmer Green, wife Judy, and daughter Alyce, along with colleagues from the Menninger Foundation, take an in-depth look at the notion that perhaps "if we can make ourselves sick, we can make ourselves well."
