From the Back Cover

“Intriguingly written in alternating voices of doctor and patient, The World Needs Old Ladies presents a fearlessly inspired growth map to a life of physical, emotional and social holistic health. The clear and comforting voice of Dr. Gladys resonates indelibly throughout this informative and optimistic volume, as we are led through over 90 years of the doctor's globe tested approaches towards wellness and the greater good. Under the overarching metaphor of the Tree of Life, Dr. Gladys draws vivid vignettes from her experiences in India and Afghanistan as well as her long medical agency in Arizona. A remarkable multigenerational medical family is revealed as we are enlightened with the compassionate wisdom and practical substance of “Living Medicine”, spanning issues as divergent as birth to death, motherhood to Mother Goose, and romance to remedies. While acknowledging technological advances, timeless recipes describing what works best are also disseminated with generosity, wit and humor. As the reader reflects upon the down-to-earth knowledge and healing power of both doctor Gladys and patient Eveline, a reciprocal healing takes place. The doctor and patient coalesce into the reader's “physician within”, who, by reading this book, gains trust, courage and confidence to search out and make decisions that may not be conventional but are effective.” … Gilah Yelin Hirsch - Artist, Professor of Art "Dr. Gladys McGarey is a shining light of wisdom, humor, and depth. Her latest book "The World Needs Old Ladies" points to a potent truth: old women hold wisdom, grounding, and strength for their families, communities, and the entire planet. And its high time that we all realized and celebrated this living resource among us." … Christiane Northup M.D.“Now that I have devoured this delicious book, I simply must pass it on Teatime, with two elegant, seasoned, wise old ladies, sharing wisdom on Life, & Health. What could possibly be more fun? And, oh, what you can learn”… Karilee H. Shames PhD, RN, A-HNC “Sturdy and strong, bearing witness to all life's seasons, rooted so deeply in the earth, generously branching out to encourage new growth and even providing sanctuary for a fragile robin's nest, the wonders of a tree is a perfect metaphor for the life of Dr. Gladys McGarey. Because of wisdom in her works like The World Needs Old Ladies I continue to find my own roots and grow.” …. Naomi Judd
