About this title

Synopsis

The ninety-one-year-old doctor known for his achievements in spontaneous healing explains the function of vital energy in human health, shares case studies of patients he has treated, and offers advice on natural healing methods.

Reviews

Readers of Andrew Weil's Spontaneous Healing (1995) will recognize Fulford, the osteopath whose remarkable success inspired Weil to seriously investigate "alternative" medicine. Now in his nineties, Fulford remains in (reduced) practice and here, with Stone's help, relays his advice for good health. That counsel arises from a conception of the body that is as holistic as many an Oriental medical system, as firmly based in love as Christianity. The body is composed of interdependent parts and functions; a problem manifested in one part or function may require ministering to others. Mental and emotional as well as physical traumas must be identified and treated, so Fulford seeks to know patients as persons. A good, individualized diet; easy, regular breathing; meditation; moderation in all things--especially, these days, in that other essential, exercise; and controlling desire are some of the things Fulford specifically enjoins. Given the sweetness of his voice and temperament as well as a large publicity effort by Pocket, his adviser just may match Weil's best-seller in popularity. Ray Olson

In the field of alternative medicine, names like Deepak Chopra and Andrew Weil are easily recognized. Yet they are newcomers compared with Fulford, the 91-year-old osteopath who inspired Weil to explore the world of natural healing. Writing in an easy, folksy style, Fulford explains his philosophy of healing, refined by more than 50 years of practice. His wide-ranging discussion covers spirituality, diet, exercise, relationships, and a belief in the interconnectedness of all life. At times he sounds like an American Obi-Wan Kenobi, but the mystical is balanced with a large dose of common sense and experience. Fulford also includes an illustrated chapter on exercises. It is easy to see why Weil was so affected by this wise old doctor. His book is sure to be in demand and is recommended for all public libraries.?Elizabeth Braaksma, Brodie Resource Lib., Thunder Bay, Ontario
