In this book readers will not only learn the personal history of a remarkable healer, they will also discover many practical secrets of health and vitality, from the importance of proper breathing to the value of simple stretching as a superior tonic for nerves and muscles. Now in his nineties, Bob Fulford embodies and exemplifies his own wisdom about health and healing. He has led a remarkably vigorous life and had a remarkably productive old age, with little need for medical interventions. His emphasis on vital energy and the healing power of nature-concepts that animated medical inquiry from the tmie of Hippocrates through the last century-is completely missing from medical education today. If medicine is to come back into alignment with the great healing traditions and satisfy the needs and desires of those who are sick, it must rediscover the truths that Bob Fulford expresses in these pages.
