Although most of Spezzano's books deal with partnership and partnership problems, he also co-authored a book with Janie Ticehurst (// Maiden Name: Janie E. Patrick) titled "Healing the Body Through Mind and Metaphor". The book is still available from Spezzano's website, while Janie Ticehurst is selling the e-book version through her site.<ref>http://www.healingkeys.com/index.htm accessed 28/09/2013</ref>.

:''Bonding, Choice, Family Role, Forgiveness, Gifts, Grace, Integration, Letting Go, Love and Bonding Exercise, Purpose, Trust, Truth, Understanding, Willingness.''<ref>http://www.healingkeys.com/KeyAtoZ.htm accessed 28/09/2013</ref>

However, some of the diseases the authors recommend to be treated with their set of keys are severe and patients suffering from such diseases should rather go to see an MD: e.g. ALS, AIDS, Appendicitis, Asthma, Cancer, Diabetes Mellitus, Epilepsy, Heart Attack, Hepatitis, Jaundice, Leukemia, Lymphoma Hodgkin's Disease, Meningitis.<ref name="healingkeys">http://www.healingkeys.com/MetaphorAtoZ.htm accessed 28/09/2013</ref> // The author Janie Ticehurst makes it clear that ANY disease or medical condition needs to be taken to a Doctor (or appropriate medical person). The Authors also emphasize that "Healing Keys" are an adjunct and NOT an alternative to medical treatemnt.

The authors claim:

:''We are trying to shelter our pain or disappointment and are attempting to hold back negative self-beliefs and evil self-concepts. These mistaken beliefs and self-concepts stem from unresolved emotional fractures and broken hearts.''<ref name="healingkeys" />

This approach clearly lays the blame // Misrepresentation - there is no blame with healing keys // for a disease on the diseased who is responsible for it. The same is true for handicaps, of which the authors e.g. list Birth Defects, Deafness, or Down's Syndrome. Birth defects are said to represent ''unfinished business from ancestral patterns and/or a past life metaphor. We are being called to heal this soul level issue.''<ref name="healingkeys" />

The authors constantly // lay the blame // Correction: The authors, in the name of healing, recommend full personal accountability //  for disease and handicap onto the individual who is held responsible, and promise healing to be possible with their "healing keys". Although the authors do not advise diseased persons to abstain from seeing a doctor, // Comment: why include this as a negative ? // they also do not recommend seeking medical advise or help. // Correction: The authors DO advise seeking professional medical opinion for any medical condition whatssover. This is clearly stated on the homepage and the page which lists the metaphors. It is a fundamental healing principle - see the Doctor (or appropriate medical person). Janie Ticehurst is a Registered Nurse and strongly emphasizes the high importance of seeking appropriate medical advice. //

// The authors state that "Healing Keys" work with the mind. Physical disease and medical conditions need to be treated on the physical level. However, in many medical conditions, the mind has a  major influence on physical symptoms although the interaction of mind and body are not fully understood in medical science. "Healing Keys" are helpful according to the mindset of the person who uses them. "Healing Keys" purport to be healing principles that people can use to improve their state of mind, understanding, their own relationship to illness and physical health. "Healing Keys" are clearly tools to be used in healing but never used as an alternative to medical treatment.
