This unique, comprehensive exploration of medicine offers a practical approach to healing that encompasses the wisdom of traditional societies, modern findings of biomedicine, and esoteric teachings of antiquity. The “fourfold path” incorporates nutrition based on nutrient-dense traditional foods; therapeutics based in a wide range of nontoxic remedies; movement that heals and strengthens the emotions, and meditation that develops the ability for objective thought. Each discussion includes metaphor, illustration, instructive exercise, or meditations, to augment the thematic development. Further chapters present an “Art of Medicine” approach to ailments ranging from infectious disease, cancer, heart disease, and hypertension to diabetes, chronic fatigue, depression, arthritis, and digestive disorders. Appendices provide helpful sections on cooking instructions, therapy instructions, and movement instructions.
