Description
A collection of insightful case studies based on patient-faculty meetings during the 1980s with holistic health practitioners including Dr Anna Lups, where the focus was on finding a unique and integrated approach to each patient's health.
These studies show in detail the process followed, including observations of the whole human being -- body, soul, and spirit -- by faculty members, while meeting with the patient. This led to a multilayered assessment and recommended therapy and life changes for the patient.
The patients represented in this first volume of The Voice of the Patient have each been characterised according to one of four organ types -- heart, kidney, liver or lung. Each case is unique in terms of the individuals, the issues and illnesses assessed, and the recommended therapies.
This book will be of interest to medical professionals wishing to understand spiritual-scientific methods of diagnosis and treatment.
