Back To Our Roots -- For Good Health The good news for African Americans is that the secrets of getting healthy and staying healthy are rooted in time-honored traditions of our own heritage. Staying Strong: Reclaiming the Wisdom of African-American Healing explains how natural healing techniques, handed down through generations, can be used as a complement to modern medicine to help African Americans live fuller, happier, healthier lives -- to "live wholly." Discover how you can overcome the frustrations of chronic fatigue, depression, illness, or just not feeling well, by applying the principles of Whole Living -- Whole Living is natural -- using herbs, touch, foods, and the power of the mind to achieve good health. Whole Living is spiritual, helping you find the natural African-American spirit that means living life to its fullest. Whole Living combines modern medicine with the healing traditions of the past to provide the rich benefits of both methods. Whole Living looks at the complete person -- not just isolated parts to revitalize you in body, mind, and spirit. Staying Strong also addresses the specific health concerns of African-Americans, providing reliable alternative healing approaches to more than thirty diseases and health problems, as well as safe and effective natural remedies and advice on prevention.

HEALING LEGACY,
This review is from: HealthQuest Staying Strong: Staying Strong: Reclaiming The Wisdom Of African-American Healing (Healthquest : Total Wellness for Body, Mind & Spirit) (Paperback)
A number of books have focused on health care for African-Americans. Most of them give advice on what should be done, how it is to be done and what to avoid. Staying Strong moves away from such a formula. It reclaims the ancient wisdom of African-American healing and points one to alternative methods of health care for African-Americans.In a time where health care costs are sky rocketing, HMO's are calling the shots and the absence of a national health care insurance program for all, it is imperative for African Americans to be empowered in taking care of their own health. Staying Strongs takes a wholistic approach concerning health care for African Americans. It takes into consideration the spiritual, mental, and physical dimensions that work together in assuring that one is in good health. One is introduced to the conventional and non-coventional methods used to bring balance to one's life. Each alternative healthcare system is explained and the pros and cons are laid out for the individual to make a decision as to what is right for them. This is an excellent guide for those who want to take charge of their health and are looking for alternative methods.

This review is from: HealthQuest Staying Strong: Staying Strong: Reclaiming The Wisdom Of African-American Healing (Healthquest : Total Wellness for Body, Mind & Spirit) (Paperback)
Assumed this title would describe traditional folk remedies, but it merely repackages New Age therapies for an African-American audience.
