FOREWORD<br >CENTI RY ORTHOI)I)X Western medicine has made many<br >advances in the diagnosis and treatment of disease:<br >iotics, organ transplants, and ultrasound, to name<br >but a few. Yet this form of medicine, heavily reliant on powerful drugs,<br >intrusive investigative techniques, and surgery, has had a number of charges<br >leveled at it. One is that it treats symptoms without reference to the whole<br >person. Another is that it may create fresh illnesses in the patient. And yet<br >another is that it is imposed from without by clinicians with whom patients<br >may feel that they have no rapport, and for whom they may be just units on<br >a medical convevor belt.<br > It is for these reasons that an increasing number of people are exploring<br >alternative therapies. Acupuncture, aromatherapy, autosuggestion, Ayurveda,<br >Bach flower remedies, bioenergetics, color therapy, faith healing, herbalism,<br >homeopathy, hypnosis, meditation, naturopathy, polarity therapy, rebirthing,<br >reflexology, tai chi, transactional analysis, yoga - all these, and many others,<br >are described in this volume, together with a number of unusual diagnostic<br >techniques. While such therapies may not suffer from the same drawbacks<br >as conventional medicine, the claims made for many of them are open to<br >question. We do not recommend using any alternative therapy in place of<br >orthodox medical practices. Increasingly, however, doctors are coming to<br >view some of these therapies as effective complementary treatments, to be<br >used iU coujlmction with conventional medicine. Throughout this volume,<br >we have tried to present a balanced view, taking into account the pros and<br >cons of each technique.<br > What many cases in this book demonstrate is the remarkable self-healing<br >power of the human mind, body, and spirit. Conventional medicine is<br >increasingly recognizing the value of this idea and may yet undergo a<br >revolution as it borrows more and more techniques from the alternative<br >movement. The medical maxim of the 21st century mav well be<br >"heal thvself."<br >- The Editors<br >
