Review:
"Richard Grossinger has written a classic. He is that rarest of writers, one who combines spiritual sensitivity with enormous intellectual understanding and a style of great clarity and elegance."- Andrew Harvey"Planet Medicine is a must read for all who are interested in health care, what it is, what is was, and what it must do in order to survive. Grossinger has done a masterful job of covering an immense field of information."- John E. Upledger"The author places the individual and the disease in the broadest possible context, and introduces a fresh or forgotten notion of illness as a crucible in which the individual must reassess his or her own life and its social contexts."- Publishers Weekly
Synopsis:
This work is an attempt at a synthesis of all medical systems on Earth and a consideration of how radical new and non-allopathic medicine might contribute toward healing the planet on environmental and social levels. It describes and compares the following major medical systems and modalities: Alexander Technique, Chi Gung, faith healing, homeopathy, meditation, osteopathy, Reiki and rebirthing.
