Soul Medicine

Norman Shealy, MD, PH. D. & Dawson Church, PH. D & Forward by Caroline Myss

The cutting edge of medicine today is not to be found in invasive therapies like drugs and surgery. It is in the disciplines that used to be regarded as "soft" medicine: prayer, therapeutic tough, energy healing, acupressure, and alternative therapies. Overwhelming evidence from hundreds of scientifics studies is showing that these safe, non-invasive approaches are oftem more effective than conventional medicine. While yielding dramatically better cure and longevity rates, they are also a fraction of the cost.

Two of the pioneers in the field, Dr. Norman Shealy, founder of the American Holistic Medical Association and world-famous neurosurgeon, and Dr. Dawson Church one of the foremost writers and researchers on alternative health, and the editor or author of many books on the subject, present a compelling review of the scientific underpinnings of energy healing. They show how consciousness and intention are fundamental to an understanding of human energy systems, and tie the many therapies that affect that energy system into a coherent set of principles they call "soul medicine." They also present the case for accreditation of a new class of energy healers, and confidently predict that consciousness-based healing will become a major characteristic of medicine in the coming century.
