Book Description
The hidden spiritual treasure of early Christianity represents a potential source of answers to the pressing questions of our time. This book is the first attempt to pursue the deep structural similarities of a religion and homeopathic medicine. The human body and the mystery of its energy-bodily instance, life energy, cannot be considered using exclusively intellectual thought. The doctrines passed down from the Orthodox Church Fathers regarding Christology and the Trinity provide the structural basis necessary to understand the metamorphoses of the human powers aimed at by homeopathy. It is not uncommon that these methods result in cases of healing bordering on the miraculous. The divine energies in the view of man held by early Christianity enable us to reach a new dimension in homeopathy. The loss of access to the divine energies also leads to functional activities without a frame of reference in homeopathy. Handling symptoms without taking into account the constitution as a whole or the use of too high potencies(mega potencies) are thus unsuitable for practising Christians. Pal Dragos leads a homeopathic out-patients clinic in Munich and works in the Wachstumstrend Forschungsinstitut und Verlags-GmbH in international and interdisciplinary structuration research. www.pal-dragos.de

Book Description
Explores the interplay of medicine and religion in Western societies. Medicine and Religion is the first book to comprehensively examine the relationship between medicine and religion in the Western tradition from ancient times to the modern era. Beginning with the earliest attempts to heal the body and account for the meaning of illness in the ancient Near East, historian Gary B. Ferngren describes how the polytheistic religions of ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome and the monotheistic faiths of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam have complemented medicine in the ancient, medieval, and modern periods. Ferngren paints a broad and detailed portrait of how humans throughout the ages have drawn on specific values of diverse religious traditions in caring for the body. Religious perspectives have informed both the treatment of disease and the provision of health care. And, while tensions have sometimes existed, relations between medicine and religion have often been cooperative and mutually beneficial. Religious beliefs provided a framework for explaining disease and suffering that was larger than medicine alone could offer. These beliefs furnished a theological basis for a compassionate care of the sick that led to the creation of the hospital and a long tradition of charitable medicine. Praise for Medicine and Health Care in Early Christianity, by Gary B. Ferngren "This fine work looks forward as well as backward; it invites fuller reflection of the many senses in which medicine and religion intersect and merits wide readership."—JAMA "An important book, for students of Christian theology who understand health and healing to be topics of theological interest, and for health care practitioners who seek a historical perspective on the development of the ethos of their vocation."—Journal of Religion and Health

Book Description
A contemporary critical theology has a double task: On one hand it should try to formulate the experience of faith in an appropriate language; on the other hand it must deal with the ideological misunderstandings of other disciplines concerning questions of faith. Pavel Vitalis takes up the challenge of mastering this double task. He uses Early Christianity as a source, which the West is gradually loosing. He makes the attempt at dealing with an essay written by the well-known television philosopher Peter Sloterdijk about the monotheistic religions. His central thesis is that Sloterdijk's unsuccessful and false assertions lead to a defamation of the Christian religion and seem like an intellectual caricature. Vitalis reasons that this is caused by the increasing intellectualism of the West. In addition to this argument, the book also offers an insight into the intellectual repertory of Early Christianity in an understandable language. www.w-publishing.com

Book Description
Digestive complaints have become increasingly common. Recent statistics show that gastrointestinal complaints account for nearly a third of all visits to primary care doctors and that nearly one in two Americans suffer from digestive disease. Millions more suffer from conditions such as migraine headaches, arthritis, mood disorders, chronic fatigue, asthma, allergies, and menstrual dysfunction, which are all related to a disorder in digestive health. Despite the evidence in support of integrative approaches to treatment and prevention of digestive symptoms, these approaches are largely overlooked in treating gastrointestinal disorders. Rather, treatment plans tend to be exclusively pharmacologically based and have appreciable toxicity. Integrative Gastroenterology, Second edition, is a comprehensive guide to helping health care practitioners understand and appreciate how to manage patients with gastrointestinal conditions integrating conventional and complimentary approaches. This text reviews the latest advances in science and research with regards to the gut microbiome, physiology, and interconnections between the gut and other organ systems. Coverage includes a diverse range of treatment methods, such as probiotics, meditation, massage, yoga, supplements, special diets, energy medicine, homeopathy, and acupuncture, as well as a special section devoted to mind-body medicine in digestive health and disease. In discussing unconventional treatments, the authors address many of the controversies that surround the remedies.

Book Description
Homeopathy is over 200 years old and is still experiencing an uninterrupted influx of new practitioners and patients. Many patients and therapists swear by this "alternative healing method", which in some countries is even financed by health insurances. This seems completely incomprehensible to critics: For them it is clearly evident that homeopathy is hopelessly unscientific and has at best a placebo effect. The positions of supporters and opponents seem to be just as immutable as they are incompatible. This book answers some essential and fascinating questions: What remains of the founding ideas of homeopathy in 21st century medicine? Does it really work and, if so, how? Which of the original theories can we still apply today with a clear conscience and use for the benefit of patients and the healthcare system? Where does homeopathy have its limits and does it indeed need to be critically reconsidered and evaluated? The author has dealt with the points of criticism for years, but at the same time also takes seriously the wishes and concerns of patients who often feel insufficiently cared for by conventional medical practice. Against the background of her own personal history, her book attempts to bridge the gap between these two traditionally opposing camps.

Book Description
Integrative Sexual Health explores beyond the standard topics in men's and women's health, drawing on a diverse research literature to provide an overview of sexual biology and sexual dysfunction, diverse lifespan, lifestyle and environmental impacts on sexual function, integrative medicine solutions to sexual problems, and traditional eastern and western treatment approaches to healing sexual difficulties. This comprehensive guide written by experts in the field provides clinical vignettes, detailed treatment strategies for mitigating the side effects of both medications and sexual dysfunction associated with medical illness and poor lifestyle habits, and extensive further reading resources. Integrative treatment modalities not typically consulted in mainstream medicine, such as traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, aromatherapy, and botanical medicine, are presented with the best evidence, in a clinically relevant manner. Part of the Weil Integrative Medicine Library, this volume is a must read for the specialist and non-specialist alike who wish to address sexual problems using an integrative medicine approach, and acquire tools to maintain lifetime optimal health and vitality that supports healthy sexuality. Integrative medicine is defined as healing-oriented medicine that takes account of the whole person (body, mind, and spirit) as well as all aspects of lifestyle; it emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and makes use of appropriate therapies, both conventional and alternative. Series editor Andrew Weil, MD, is Professor and Director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona. Dr. Weil's program was the first such academic program in the U.S., and its stated goal is "to combine the best ideas and practices of conventional and alternative medicine into cost effective treatments without embracing alternative practices uncritically."

Book Description
Self-determination (autonomy) in contrast to lack of self-determination (heteronomy) is today already an urgent necessity with regards to the powers of self-healing. This is especially true for those who do not exclusively wish to submit themselves passively to collective, conventional (allopathic) medical care. Homeopathic treatment, as a configuration of forces, requires a distinct way of thinking, both on the part of the homeopaths as well as the patients, which can be learned by anyone. With regards to health, however, this way of thinking differs considerably from the one-sided materialistic views in the media. This book also serves as an introduction to the general view of the human being which is the basis for homeopathy and is necessary in order to lead a full and prosperous lifestyle. With the themed concept "pseudo-homeopathy," the author issues the warning that many homeopathic methods of treatment used today can sooner harm than help. In order to help you better familiarise yourself with homeopathic thinking, you will find a list of press releases on the topic of homeopathy in the appendix of the book, all of which were published by the Growth-trend Research Institute.

Book Description
Images and artistic representations were of significant value to the early Christian communities. In Christ the Miracle Worker in Early Christian Art, Lee Jefferson argues, in fact, that images provided visual representations of vital religious and theological truths crucial to the faithful, by which art possessed the power to project concepts and claims beyond the limitations of the written and spoken word. Images of Christ performing miracles or healings, as demonstrated in this volume, functioned as advertisements for Christianity and illustrated explications of the nature of Christ. These images of Christ as worker of miracles and healing form the nucleus of an extensive examination of this power of art, its role in fostering devotion, and the deep connection between art and its underwriting and elucidation of pivotal theological claims and developments.
