One of today's preeminent practitioners of holistic medicine heralds a new era of healing and provides a breakthrough in the understanding of the vital connections between self-healing and self-transformation.
The terms transformative medicine and holistic Medicine are something that needs more profound discussion. Rudolph Ballentine discusses many interesting therapeutic methods in this book that will gather the attention of many readers.
Even though I have studied Modern Medicine (allopathic Medicine), I love to read more about Medicine's traditional and holistic aspects. I have found a few interesting concepts in this book. The problem is that more research should be done on these aspects to get broad appreciation by the people to practically incorporate them into daily life. Still, it will be an interesting book to read, especially if you are working or studying in the field of Medicine.
I'm still sceptical about some of the ideas in this book, but it's by far the best that I've read on holistic health, and a very exhaustive survey of different approaches to health, disease and healing across the world and in different eras, and how they might be incorporated with each other.
Wow, this book was a total gift. I really appreciate Ballentine's integrative and comprehensive approach to the broad topics of health and wellness. This book is like a bible to me.
Absolutely fantastic! Gives the reader a holistic overview of the many brnaches of medicine that take different approaches, but aim for one goal - healing.
This book helped me find my path to health. It is both scientific and spiritual. I found it very inspiring to believe in healing again. Disease is not something to live in fear of, dis-ease is an opportunity to listen to my body and work out completely through perseverance discipline and love. If you want greater self awareness then read this book!
I had to buy this book as part of a course I was taking and blew it off for a long while thinking it was irrelevant to what I was doing. The book is long and detailed but worth the read. Totally changed my life!
This book demonstrates how holistic healing therapies can be used in conjunction to heal, physical, mental, and emotional states of the individual. Ballentine cites many examples from years of clinical practice to demonstrate how the body and the subtle energies are all interconnected.
I loved this book! One should read it if they want to learn how to take better care of themselves without having to always rely on going to the doctor. It has a great self help index.
