A sample from the book:

Unlearning Conventional Medicine

First of all, conventional or Western medicine is never drug-free. It is based on the medical model in which a doctor identifies a set of symptoms of a patient and then makes a diagnosis to confirm the doctor’s examination. An approved treatment for that diagnosis is then applied to the patient. Commonly, the treatment may be a chemical one in the form of a pharmaceutical drug to interfere with the natural healing mechanism in the patient’s own body with the express purpose of removing those undesirable symptoms. The patient, understandably too eager to be relieved of the symptoms, often readily concurs to the application of those unsafe pharmaceutical drugs.

Sadly, such intellectual process of cure does not take into account the patient’s own physical, mental, and spiritual problems, which may be the fundamental causes of that disease in the first place.

In addition, conventional medicine does not take into consideration the basic health concept that your body is designed to regulate and repair itself, and accordingly it does not address natural healing, which is always made in deference to the more invasive procedures, such as administering a drug, that only infuse your body with more toxins. 

Relearning Unconventional Medicines

 Relearn many other unconventional medicines that may provide you with many other alternative healings that are not only natural but also less invasive.

The Ayurvedic Medicine

Ayurvedic medicine is based on 5,000 thousand years of the expertise and knowledge of sages with respect to health and self-healing. It is the oldest self-healing system in existence; as a matter of fact, it is the first world medicine. Originally, there were two schools of Ayurveda: the school of physicians and the school of surgeons. Through centuries of transformation, they have evolved into a scientifically veritable and classifiable medical system, a widely used system of self-healing in India.

The essence of Ayurveda wisdom is self-discovery and self-growth; they make you realize that many answers to health and wellness are all within yourself.

     The Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy, another ancient self-healing art, uses essential oils to promote health and wellness of the skin, the body, the mind, and the soul for complete self-healing. The aroma, from the essential oils of certain plants through the bursting of their tiny glands, has therapeutic self-healing effects. These plants, having accumulated the radiant energy from the sun, produce essential oils that have anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory self-healing properties. 

Ancient healers were holistic: to them, self-healing was a transcendent art. They believed in the self-healing power of plant energy; accordingly, if plants could heal the body with their energies, they could also heal the mind too, given that the body and the mind were but one. Based on this belief, ointments, oils, incenses, infusions, and poultices were widely used in ancient healing in China, India, Greece, Babylon, and Egypt.

    The Naturopathy

Naturopathy, or naturopathic medicine, is an integrated system of primary healthcare based on the use of herbs and foods for medicine, exposure to fresh air and sunlight, and hydrotherapy (water cure using hot and cold water, such as steam or sauna) to enhance wellness for the purpose of self-healing.

Naturopathy is based on the philosophy that all living things have an innate ability to heal themselves due to an innate vital force that promotes self-cleansing, self-repair, and therefore self-healing. The key to self-healing is to address the depressed immune system, the disruptive hormonal changes, the disorderly nervous and the dysfunctional elimination systems. Once balance is restored, then the body will begin its self-healing, although it may be a long and slow process. Naturopathy focuses on the causes of diseases, rather than on the treatments of their symptoms.

    The Chinese Medicine

Self-healing begins with the mind, which can generate energy to accomplish the task of healing. Self-healing is energy healing.

According to the laws of physics, there is energy in everything, and everything gives out invisible energy, including the sun, the moon, and the human body. As a matter of fact, everything is some form of energy, which is either positive or negative. For example, your thinking, too, involves energy, without which the mind cannot function. If you "think" you can heal yourself, your mind then sends out positive energy to your body for self-healing.

According to the Chinese medicine, your body is composed of energy, and, therefore, your body will respond positively or negatively to other energies within and also around you in the living world. In other words, everything within you and around you is all interconnected through energy.

Energy healing began in China more than 5,000 years ago. At that time, some soldiers who received minor wounds inflicted on their bodies soon discovered that their physical pains and ailments had miraculously disappeared, and that led to the discovery of energy healing. The ancient Chinese physicians began to believe that there was an energy system in the human body, within which there was energy communication between different cells and organs. For centuries, the Chinese have believed that "qi" (the internal life energy) is responsible for transmitting energy information within the body. Accordingly, the smooth flow or stagnation of "qi" accounts for health or sickness.
