Firsthand testimonies abound in healing triumphs outside of Western medicine. Although sometimes only allopathic, we need mainstream doctors when we do not have time to learn non-invasive cures. Doctors and veterinarians excel at healing skin, limbs, and some internal parts. Since colds take two weeks to remove whatever a body rejects, I gladly take pills and sniff vapours to ease stuffy symptoms! That is my pharmaceutical exception.
Where science runs out of answers and thinks we are stuck with dysfunction, I am heartened to know there are many other ways to heal. Of everything I have read, besides the incredible Donna Eden: Dr. Stephen Gascoigne’s 1997 primer is the best!
“The Chinese Way To Health: A Self-Help Guide To Traditional Chinese Medicine” is a clear, universal guide, that I encourage everybody interested in their health and loved-ones’, to read. He is a doctor who continuously observed alternative methods being more successful than medical ones. Therefore, he studied Chinese medicine professionally in China. It has a lot of parts. I learned meridian clearing and a little acupressure. We and our cats are trying the dry, wet, hot, cold categorization of food.
There are herb formulas, massages, meditation, and the powerful art of Qui-Gong. Our friend who practiced it, lived to age 96! This book introduces newcomers to most aspects, easily and memorably, perhaps by being brief. Dr. Gascoigne cheerfully relates eastern healing history and how it arose in the west. With respect for foreigners, Dr. Gascoigne refuses animal material: compassionate morals I echo and trust!
Helpful, 8x11 photographs, elegantly demonstrate everything these beautifully framed pages are teaching. It comprises a full beginner’s guide. It does not dangle information on-line, like resources of 2024 tend to do. I found a Qui-Gong DVD that I am eager to try, to supplement these photographs.
