Coyote Medicine - by Lewis Mehl-Madrona (Paperback)

About the Book

A doctor at the forefront of alternative medicine tells the enlightening story of his struggle to make doctors and their patients aware of the limitations of modern Western medicine.

Book Synopsis

Hailed by Dr. Andrew Weil as a book "that must be brought to all who seek true health," Coyote Medicine is an engaging and essential testament to the power of alternative healing and recovery methods that lie beyond the confines of Western medicine.

Inspired by his Cherokee grandmother's healing ceremonies, Lewis Mehl-Madrona enlightens readers to "alternative" paths to recovery and health. Coyote Medicine isn't about eschewing Western medicine when it's effective, but about finding other answers when medicine fails: for chronic sufferers, patients not responding to medication, or "terminal" cases that doctors have given up on. In the story of one doctor's remarkable initiation into alternative ways to spiritual and physical health, Coyote Medicine provides the key to untapped healing methods available today.
