NEW: Rethinking Medicine: Harmonizing Science and Herbal Tradition
Explore the efficacy and safety of both herbal and conventional medicines in a new medical review book by an accomplished naturopath and a recovering attorney turned herbalist.
Sometimes, your health is all you have. But with today's market of pharmaceuticals and the skyrocketing price of healthcare, health seems like an unattainable goal for many.
It's time to change the way we approach health treatments. Introducing Rethinking Medicine: Harmonizing Science and Herbal Tradition.
Instead of relying on an outdated "magic bullet" approach to pharmaceuticals or high-dose dietary supplements, Bramwell and Warnock advocate for an integrated system of healthcare that considers both conventional and natural methods. With rigorous analysis, the book argues for a balanced and open-minded approach that emphasizes minimal (yet effective) dosing and the integration of natural remedies.
Rethinking Medicine analyzes the assumptions that support (or don't) both fields, questions conventional drug dosing, favors herbal and low-dose therapies, and calls for more nuanced medical approaches. It's a hopeful call-to-action, backed by experience and research, that wants to see better health outcomes in the future.
Rethinking Medicine is a new type of medical discourse for a better, healthier tomorrow.
