Coyote Healing: Miracles in Native Medicine Tapa blanda - 2003

Descripción de contraportada

NATIVE AMERICAN / HEALTH Native American healers expect miracles and prepare in all ways possible for them to occur. In modern medicine, miraculous recoveries are discarded from studies as anomalous cases that will taint the otherwise orderly results. Yet this small group of "miracle" patients has everything to teach us about healing and survival. Coyote Healing distills the common elements in miracle cures to help people start their own healing journey. Looking at a hundred cases of individuals who experienced miracle cures and examining the energies, attributes, and teachings implicit within the Four Directions and how they relate to body-mind healing, Dr. Mehl-Madrona reveals that survivors found purpose and meaning in their life-threatening illness; peaceful acceptance was key to their healing. Coyote Healing also tells of another kind of miracle--finding faith, hope, and serenity even when a cure seems impossible. LEWIS MEHL-MADRONA, M.D., is a board-certified family physician, psychiatrist, and geriatrician. He holds a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. He worked for over twenty-five years in emergency medicine in both rural and academic settings and is currently the Coordinator of Integrative Psychiatry and Systems Medicine for the University of Arizona's Program in Integrative Medicine. He is the author of the bestselling Coyote Medicine.
