From the Author

This was the book that somebody had to write: I reckoned it might as well be me! The most satisfying book to write is one you want to read yourself and I was spending a lot of time researching science references on energy healing. Nobody seemed to have got it all in one place. I was truly astonished how much scientific credibility there was for strange esoteric healing practices. As one of my sources said "alternative medicine is really just advanced physics"! I decided to collect the material and write a profound new book. It dawned on me that "virtual medicine" was a whole new paradigm. Hence the title. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Rational Rationale for the New Medicine, July 6, 2000

This review is from: Virtual Medicine: A New Dimension in Energy Healing: Discover Where Ancient Wisdom Meets Breakthrough Technology (Paperback)

You can read almost everywhere about Mind/Body medicine; it's almost a catchword. Yet here is a book,Virtual Medicine by Dr. Keith Scott-Mumby, which details, in a friendly, passionate way, the actual research and development of the science that supports the theory. His first three chapters, including a history of energy medicine and a well-reasoned explanation of how energetic information is communicated outside the body, are worth the price of the book. Perhaps for the first time you will be able to see that what seem to be esoteric energy theories are firmly based in Quantum Mechanics, based on theories that have been accepted in physics since the 1920's! Emphasizing the diagnostic devices that can read the body's energy and therefore help predict, determine and cure diseases, Scott-Mumby goes much further, examining different healing modalities (such as sound and light). Even though he examines the dangers in such modern phenomena as ELF's (extra low frequencies) and amalgam fillings, he maintains a positive, upbeat and inspiring tone. As a researcher and bodyworker I was totally excited after finishing this book. It's a must for anyone seeking to understand the science behind the New Medicine.

This review is from: Virtual Medicine: A New Dimension in Energy Healing: Discover Where Ancient Wisdom Meets Breakthrough Technology (Paperback)

This book does an excellent job of examining the history of ideas and technologies associated with the field of energetic medicine. How energy and information "create" our reality are key issues in this field, as well as how the energy and intentions of the healer are involved in the healing process. This author examines a variety of issues, from how information is communicated with homeopathic and chinese medicine therapies to how new technologies can electrically measure the body's reaction to numerous stimuli and prescribe remedies to help the body regain balance. The ideas of m-fields (Sheldrake) and the notion of a holographic "implicate order" or collective field of consciousness underlying creation are also considered. This book is a very timely contribution to the scientific examination of holistic and energetic healing approaches - I'm surprised that it is currently out of print (in the USA). Maybe it's still published in the UK - I got a used copy via an Amazon marketplace seller.

I bought this book firstly because I'd wanted to read up on problems with amalgam fillings in teeth, but I am now hooked and can't put it down! It's absolutely fascinating, and covering so many subjects and viewpoints backed up by scientific research and facts. It really makes you think twice about a lot of "stuff" you thought you knew!! and gets you thinking about things in a different way. A "MUST READ" book. I've ordered more for relatives!
