“I chose the healthy”
Sanna tells in Sanna’s Lent Book“At 31, I decided to leave my research career to study a whole new field: self-healing. I was tired of the sick, toxins and laboratory animals; I was researching new immunotherapies for cancer and early T-cell maturation in the thymus. Despite being offered a top position in 1992 in cutting-edge psychoneuroimmunology at UCSD (University of California San Diego), I chose to move on.
I switched sides and went over to the healthy side – a decision I have never regretted. Over the next few years, I studied research on self-healing, gathered experience, gave lectures and wrote articles – and waited for several years for health consciousness to awaken in Sweden.”
Just as a plant begins to grow from sunlight and nourishment
, a person will grow and change when
they are put in a loving environment, fed nutritious food
or put in touch with life energy..
Dr. Sanna Ehdins statement:

“My aim is to focus on the healthy, on our strengths and what gives us joy in life. Not get stuck in the sick or the problems. You can’t rest when you’re healthy, it’s an active and positive act. It’s the same with life. Do what makes you feel good and happy and you will create a completely different life!
What motivates and drives me? What has always interested me is the Human Being – who are we, how do we function and what are our driving forces. The love for Life, Nature and Man is my guiding light.I have always believed in something higher, and I started meditating at the age of 15 to cope with insomnia (caused by ptsd I realized 15 years later). In my teens I decided to live so that I did not have to take pharmaceutical industry pills, and then you have to put a healthy lifestyle in focus!
In my books and lectures, I want to build a bridge between conventional orthodox medicine and alternative or complementary medicine. I want to stimulate people to think in new ways and find new ways to feel as good as they can in their lives. This applies to both those who treat and those who need treatment.
It’s about a new way of looking at people – the holistic approach of integrated medicine and functional medicine. It is the medicine of the future. We are not just physical machines, but our minds and souls interact with our bodies in a sophisticated way. Everything is done to create a balanced whole.
Move from fighting the sick to promoting and stimulating the healthy!
The new approach to health means that we are moving away from the approach of fighting the sick to promoting and stimulating the healthy. It empowers people to influence their own health to a much greater extent than we have traditionally been taught
I have long searched for the Holy Grail of healing. Early on, I saw people succumb to or heal from serious illnesses, accidents and challenges – and that sparked my interest in why? A desire to understand what and what forces make us heal, and how we can promote it. In the new Sannas Fasting Book, I summarize the essentials, because with simple VASS water fasting stimulates our self-healing powers, rejuvenation, autophagy, and production of growth hormones and stem cells. Groundbreaking new research proves this and demonstrates the mechanisms involved. Read more in Sannas Fastebok and New Self-Healing Man.
