Beginning roughly in the middle of the 19th century, Western medicine began to adopt an approach based on concepts drawn from the classical, me. eliza said new research validates healing practices from long ago. This is a wonderful book for anyone- lay person or professional- who is interested in cutting edge research on the power of the mind and heart in healing.
