In Native cultures, health is often expressed as a balance between body, mind, and spirit or soul. At a philosophical level, physical wellness is related to cultural, political, and economic well-being. This is a philosophy that is frequently ignored, however, in theoretical perspectives and applied programs that attempt to address Native American health problems. This collection of essays examines the ways people from many indigenous communities think about and practice health care within historical and sociocultural contexts. Chapters explore solutions to the prevalence of medically identified diseases, such as cancer and diabetes, as well as Native-identified problems, such as forced evacuation, assimilation, and poverty.

Today’s medicine is spiritually deflated and morally adrift; this book explains why and offers an ethical framework to renew and guide practitioners in fulfilling their profession to heal. What is medicine and what is it for? What does it mean to be a good doctor? Answers to these questions are essential both to the practice of medicine and to understanding the moral norms that shape that practice. The Way of Medicine articulates and defends an account of medicine and medical ethics meant to challenge the reigning provider of services model, in which clinicians eschew any claim to know what is good for a patient and instead offer an array of “health care services” for the sake of the patient’s subjective well-being. Against this trend, Farr Curlin and Christopher Tollefsen call for practitioners to recover what they call the Way of Medicine, which offers physicians both a path out of the provider of services model and also the moral resources necessary to resist the various political, institutional, and cultural forces that constantly push practitioners and patients into thinking of their relationship in terms of economic exchange. Curlin and Tollefsen offer an accessible account of the ancient ethical tradition from which contemporary medicine and bioethics has departed. Their investigation, drawing on the scholarship of Leon Kass, Alasdair MacIntyre, and John Finnis, leads them to explore the nature of medicine as a practice, health as the end of medicine, the doctor-patient relationship, the rule of double effect in medical practice, and a number of clinical ethical issues from the beginning of life to its end. In the final chapter, the authors take up debates about conscience in medicine, arguing that rather than pretending to not know what is good for patients, physicians should contend conscientiously for the patient’s health and, in so doing, contend conscientiously for good medicine. The Way of Medicine is an intellectually serious yet accessible exploration of medical practice written for medical students, health care professionals, and students and scholars of bioethics and medical ethics.

To the Native American, the word "medicine" means more than a substance to restore health. It refers to a vital energy force available to all who call upon it--and also means "knowledge". This practical handbook of shamanic self-mastery offers a distillation of the ancient shamanic truths of the Native American, blended with wisdom derived from the East and from Europe.

“Informative . . . I recommend it to practitioners and patients alike.” —Andrew Weil, MD, author of Eight Weeks to Optimum Health and Mind Over Meds International bestselling author Dr. Andreas Michalsen uncovers the natural cures that will transform your health and change your life Sunlight. Forest bathing. Fasting. Cold-water baths. Bloodletting. Leeches. Cupping. These ways of healing have been practiced in different cultures around the world for centuries. But as a cardiologist working with the most high-tech medical tools, Dr. Andreas Michalsen was taught that these practices were medieval and outdated, even dangerous. As he saw surprising results in his patients, however, Dr. Michalsen explored more deeply those seemingly "outdated" methods of healing. The more he researched, the more he was convinced by the power of natural medicine--naturopathy--to heal the human body. Over the past few decades, Dr. Michalsen has published the most cutting-edge scientific research on the efficacy of natural medicine. At the prestigious Charité University Hospital in Berlin, Dr. Michalsen has successfully treated thousands of patients using elements found in nature--sunlight, water, nourishing foods, medicinal plants and animals. The culmination of years of research and clinical knowledge, The Nature Cure explains how and why naturopathy works. Dr. Michalsen breaks down the science behind natural ways of healing and shows how we can incorporate these methods into our everyday lives to trigger our body's self-healing mechanism. Thoughtfully written and filled with science, history, case studies, and practical guidance, this illuminating book shares knowledge that has changed the lives of thousands of patients, teaching you what your body needs to heal--without medicine riddled with side effects or invasive procedures. Discover methods of healing that don't just cover up your symptoms, but actually address the root cause of illness.

Would you like to know how Prayer works? Would you like to be more successful in your relationships? Are you interested in Spirituality and the path of the Medicine person or Shamanism? Would you like to know about the special nature of Plants or Mineral Spirits? Would you like to be able to talk to your guides and the Creator in a Medicine Wheel? Have you wondered what the animals are trying to tell you or mean in your dreams? If you answered yes to any of those questions then this is the most comprehensive resource about such that exists on Mother Earth and a "Must Have" book that belongs on your shelf! This is A New Edited and Revised Edition of material that has been extensively used as support material for many classes and Workshops conducted by White Eagle for over two decades. Included in this New version is information about Tobacco and the Pipe Ceremony, the Smudging and Clearing of people, places, and objects and so much more like information about the Way of Ritual and Ceremony. There have been many books written about Medicine people and Shamanism in general but very few if any Real and Practical Guides so as to learn and experience the Way of it. Now one does and This is it! Over the years commonly referred to as "The Big Book" by White Eagle and those that have come to learn the Medicine Way from him, this is the first material written when Great Pop told White Eagle to: "Write This Book." The Medicine Way is actually seven books in one being that of: The Medicine of Prayer - The How To and Why of Prayer Earthwalk - The "How To" of being incarnate on Mother Earth Walking the Round Way - The How To of Relationships The Medicine Wheel - Not only the How To, but also the Why and What of it Mineral Spirit Medicine - Describes the Medicine and potential support from many of the different stones and minerals that White Eagle uses in his practice of the Medicine Way. Plant Spirit Medicine - Describes the Medicine and essential nature of most of the common trees and plants. Also described is the Medicine of the Spirit of common food plants as well the support one can receive from many of the herbs listed. Animal Spirit Medicine - Includes what different animals mean in vision or dreams as well as in one's daily encounters. After two decades this material has finally undergone formal editing and in the process its coverage has become expanded even further than before. Now it has finally become available in printed form in both color and black and white versions. This Book is for any and all that desire to know, and know more about Spirits, Spirituality, Medicine, and The Medicine Way.
