Paradigm Shift in Health

Towards a Quantum Understanding of the Role of Consciousness in Health Promotion and Education

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The authors of this book show that the failure of public health arises, not from a failure of contemporary medicine, but from a failure of the philosophical assumptions upon which it rests. They suggest an alternative approach to health care that derives from a ecological and holistic philosophy of nature.
