I am in strict agreement with Charles Collins' ideas and especially his book, ABC's of Life. He stresses the point that people should know themselves and understand how and why they get sick or well. You may wonder why a person gets well spontaneously. This it is due to an enthusiastic desire to get well, coupled with the forces you will understand after reading the ABC's of Life. The reader who practices the lessons in this book can put everything together and arrive at a successful conclusion.

In my opinion, Charles Collins is trying to establish positive thought patterns in the reader's mind, so that lie may comprehend the effects of his thoughts and desires. I am sure the reader will be a better person for acquainting himself with the knowledge and understanding that is put forward for his benefit.

My knowledge, accumulated after delivering over 6,000 babies and treating thousands of patients over the past half-century, has led me to a profound desire to convey this idea to my patients. Now, finally, here is a book that conveys my ideas so simply.
