Wellness

With each passing year the medical establishment is costing us more and delivering less. Degenerative diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease are on the upsurge. Iatrogenic disease (caused by drugs and the medical establishment) has become one of the nation's leading causes of death. Malpractrice suits are rampant. The public is becoming increasingly aware of these facts, increaseingly disturbed, and searching for alternatives. As dislllusionment with the old grows, a new medicine - holistic healing - is being born. Holistic healing looks at the entire body and personality and seeks wellness as a goal, not just relief of the symptoms of illness. Wellness is a guide to the whole range of holistic health and healing [circa 1977]. It covers a wide field, from disciplines that have become generally accepted such as natural childbirth and accupuncture to ones still considered far out such as herbology and radiesthesia. Each major section and subsection starts with a brief essay, explaining the subject and putting it in its proper setting. The bulk of the book consists of thoughtfully written critical reviews and descriptions of some 1500 books on all aspects of holistic medicine. It is thus both a complete guide in itself ands a source book for further reading. --- from book's back cover
