As we enter the 21st century, the nature of healthcare is shifting dramatically. Many scientists and leading-edge thinkers now believe that human beings are more than biological machines with parts that age and wear down, only to be treated by drug therapy and surgery. A number of pioneering researchers embrace a new view of healing called vibrational medicine that combines the best of ancient healing love with a modern view of the body as an energy machine affected by many alternative techniques and treatments.Dr. Richard Gerber is a traditionally trained western physician who is also one of the leading researchers and practitioners of vibrational medicine. In his new book, designed for lay readers, he takes us on a comprehensive journey to the new frontier of medicine where he presents the body as a complex, integrated life-energy system that houses our soul and all its creative expressions explores the role of consciousness and "thought-forms" in health and illnessdescribes the benefits of the main vibrational healing modalities, including homeopathy, acupuncture, Chinese medicine, flower essences, color and light healing, magnetobiology, radionics and distant healing, and varieties of hands-on healing.Dr. Gerber combines the latest scientific evidence with case studies of real patients who have benefited in specific ways from vibrational remedies, and where vibrational approaches exceed the results of traditional western techniques. He rounds out his book with a resource section of recommended reading, providing additional names and addresses of associations and individuals working on the vibrational frontier.In this ground-breaking self-help work, Dr. Gerber writes, "In the world of vibrational medicine, illness is thought to be caused not only by germs, chemical toxins and physical trauma but also by chronic dysfunctional emotional-energy patterns and unhealthy ways of relating to ourselves and other people. Rather than relying on drugs and scalpels to treat illnesses, the vibrational approach employs different forms of energy to bring about healing changes in the mind, body, and spirit of the sick."
