COURSE DESCRIPTIONIn the 21st century, the Western paradigm for healthcare is changing. Notwithstanding the great strengths of medical science,many people now have concerns about key features of our health-care system
—
among them, the widespread use of medicaldrugs and a relative deemphasis on preventive care. But traditional Western medicine is not the only healing system rooted inscience. Medical systems from other cultures, including those of India and China, have used natural treatments for centuries,some of which are now directly influencing our own health-care professions. These approaches not only emphasize healing withnatural substances, but devote considerable attention to illness prevention and healthful living by considering the whole personrather than just targeting a condition.What is the most effective way to nurture your own optimal health? Are there sound alternatives to the drugs so common inour health-care system, which can carry unwanted consequences and side effects? What about the range of natural methods,such as herbal medications, micronutrients, and the use of food itself as medicine? Are these approaches valid? And, if so, canwe integrate the best of Western medicine with the best natural treatments to enjoy prime health and longevity?In The Science of Natural Healing, board-certified cardiologist Dr. Mimi Guarneri, founder of the Scripps Center for IntegrativeMedicine, leads you in a compelling and practical exploration of holistic approaches to healthcare, introducing you to the manynature-based treatments and methods that are both clinically proven and readily available to you.

thegenome, discover the remarkable ways in which you can both prevent and treat numerous illnesses by what you eat.
