About the author
Jacques Martel is a Canadian author known for developing a systematic approach linking emotional and psychological states to physical illness, published through Findhorn Press. His best-known work, The Encyclopedia of Ailments and Diseases, catalogues the conflicted feelings and thoughts he associates with roughly nine hundred conditions and outlines what he calls an Integration and Acceptance Technique for addressing them. Words That Free You: What You Say Is What You Become extends the same underlying premise to language itself, arguing that word choice carries an energetic charge that shapes a person's reality, and it includes tables for reframing negative expressions in more positive terms. Martel's work belongs to the mind-body and metaphysical-causation tradition within alternative health writing, addressed to readers who already accept a link between unresolved emotion and physical symptoms rather than to a clinical or evidence-based audience.
