Various Authors
Readers of Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell will be familiar with the concept of archetypes, symbolic figures that embody key aspects of our contradictory nature, from the hero to the fool. The highly innovative and gorgeously illustrated series, Archetypes of the Collective Unconscious considers variations on these ancient themes in volumes that combine provocative writings, Native American myths, and extraordinarily well chosen images, both handmade and photographic. Andrew Weil introduces The Healer by discussing 'the paradox of the healer archetype,' the fact that although people depend on a healer, whether physician or spiritual guide, to eradicate their ills, healing must come from within. And sure enough, the essays that follow depict the complexities and mysteries of the healer's role. William Carlos Williams portrays a doctor who becomes enraged by a stubborn child, and Oliver Sacks describes an 89-year-old patient who presents him with a surprisingly accurate self-diagnosis. Other eloquent contributors include Langston Hughes, Lewis Thomas, and medical intuitive Caroline Myss.

Larry Dossey
Larry Dossey has transformed both the practice and teaching of modern medicine by demanding that they encompass two subjects that many in the scientific establishment would rather ignore. The first is meaning, a concept many scientists flatly declare to be beyond the realm of science. The second is nonlocality, a term indicating the infinite reach of human consciousness, or, more prosaically, the ability of one being to affect another - through prayer, for example - at a distance and through no known medium. A third concept connects and embodies both meaning and nonlocality: mind. It's a subject that Dossey quickly persuades us we know far too little about. Dossey is one of the most influential spokespersons for the role of consciousness and spirituality in modern medicine, lecturing to hospitals, medical schools, and lay groups around the world. The wide-ranging essays gathered in Healing beyond the Body exemplify consciousness without boundaries. Time and again, Dossey explores research that demands that we expand our view of healing to include elements well outside the standard medical modalities. He examines alternatives such as prayer, love, laughter, creativity, dreams, hypnosis, and more. Some of the essays are lighthearted and whimsical, such as those dealing with the impact of humour or fishing on health. Others are more challenging - for example, the essay on the "evil eye" and his Maggie Award-winning "War: A Vietnam Memoir." Some are visionary, such as those dealing with the infinite reach of the mind, and some are genuinely inspirational, such as the concluding essay, "Immortality." Each essay in its own way will challenge and inspire readers to examine themselves and their health in new and different lights. Remainder mark.

Dr Irving Oyle
There is a power within the mind to heal the body. Doctors have long known that medical intervention is only valuable in initiating the healing process, yet patients continue to go to the doctor asking to be 'made well.' Medical people encourage their patients expectations by dispensing drugs that mask symptoms, or with surgical procedures that may do more harm than good. In The Healing Mind Dr Oyle presents the idea that whatever you put your faith in can be the precipitating agent for your cure. This inner belief is a vital factor in any healing process, regardless of the ritual employed by the doctor or healer.

Larry Dossey offers a compelling argument to support the efficacy of prayer in healing. Making an important distinction between cultivating prayerfulness and praying for specific outcomes, Dr. Dossey shows how some people, on receiving a serious diagnosis, have been shown to spontaneously recover when their faith deepens and they pursue what their heart desires, be it work or leisure. He considers the importance of the doctor's belief in healing, as well as the patient's, and he looks at distance healing and its effects on plants and animals as well as humans. Remainder mark.

This book tells the life story of Iranian-born Jean Vazirir, a spirited and gifted healer, who learned as a child that her destiny was to serve humanity.

Leigh Fortson & Bing Lee
Millions suffer from IBS. There is no cure and very few traditional treatments - in fact, the latest drug was recently recalled after several patients died from its dangerous side effects! The good news is that all-natural, ancient Chinese medicine can help. In fact, The Journal of the American Medical Association reported a study that proved that Chinese herbs can have a dramatic effect on IBS. But most sufferers don't know this, and their doctors don't tell them, because they can't prescribe Chinese herbs and don't know how to refer their patients to a qualified Chinese herbalist. This book comes to the rescue. Leigh Fortson, who herself suffered from IBS and has kept it under control with Chinese medicine, presents advice on using Chinese herbs and acupuncture to heal IBS. She also explains the roots of illness in Chinese medicine and how one's emotional state can lead to physical symptoms. This book also includes interviews with Chinese doctors on their experiences healing IBS with herbs.

The book's title derives from words spoken by Naomi, a four-year-old whose brain tumor would eventually take two surgeries to eradicate. Though the child seemed to inherently understand the gravity of her situation, she made plans: "If I get to five, I'm going to jump rope-backward!" Epstein, who established the Institute for Neurology and Neurosurgery at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York, tells story after story of children he came to know as he was trying to save their lives. But this is much more than an exercise in recollection. It is at bottom a recitation of what he has learned from dealing with these incredibly resilient children and how surroundings and attitudes can contribute to the healing process.

The first proven immune-boosting program for anyone who wants to stay well--or get well--safely and naturally. Do you feel like you're locked in a battle with every cold, flu, sinus infection, or stomach virus that comes your way? Does it take two or three antibiotics to treat an infection that used to be wiped out with ease? Do you have young children who are plagued with runny noses, chronic ear infections, or sore throats? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, then Immunotics is for you. Immunotics is the term Dr. Robert Rountree has coined to describe the powerful, heretofore unknown nutraceuticals that dramatically increase immune function and effectively battle bacteria and viruses. Immunotics is far more than just echinacea and vitamin C: It is the 21st-century answer to--not a replacement for--antibiotics. Immunotics doesn't just treat an existing infection, it prevents illness in the first place, without side effects or antibiotic resistance, by supercharging the immune system--nature's most potent weapon against disease. From the "general program" for everybody to advice for the aging immune system; from the stressed-out soul to the fellow who succumbs to every respiratory infection; from kiddie sniffles to those at risk for cancer, Immunotics has the prescription.
