The Complete Self-Care Guide to Holistic Medicine [antikvár]

To those who want to fully experience life, and who are willing to take the risk and responsibility of getting there.AcknowledgmentsThis book marks another stage in my evolution as a physician and healer. I've had the privilege of learning from a number of vifonderful mentors and teachers, all of whom are gifted healers. They have taught me not only about the practice of medicine, but what optimal health looks and feels Uke, and what it means to "heal your life." They are: my father Morris, Carl Flaxer, Bob Anderson, Myron McClellan, Apisai Lailai, Sylvia Flesner, Jaison Kayn, Taulere Appel, Meredith Vaughn, Jeff Durland, Todd Nelson, Steve Morris, Mark Hofgard, Doug Shapiro, Alan Gaby, Bill Manahan, Evarts Loomis, Norm Shealy, Brugh Joy, Bemie Siegel, Chris Northrup, Andy Weil, and Deepak Chopra. My greatest teachers, however, have been the women in my lifemy wife Harriet, my daughters Julie and Carin, and my mother Thelma. Thank you so much for the intensive course in unconditional love!I would also like to thank Joel Fotinos for asking me to vwite this book and for his vision as a publisher of transformational and paradigm-shifing books, to Mitch Horowitz for his incisive and masterful job of editing the manuscript, and to Steve Morris and especially Todd Nelson for their invaluable contributions to Part II. And finally, I am most grateful to my co-authors, with whom it has truly been a pleasure to work on this project. Thank you Bob and Larry for a job well done!Rob IvkerI express my gratitude to my fellow authors, to the thousands of patients who taught me much over the last four decades, and to my family for graciously ceding me the time to make my contributions to this book.Bob Anderson
