Bought the like new option and it really does look brand new.

This is a wonderful book to read.

It is a book that helps to understand the body in a holistic/ whole view of the body.

It is for people who are searching for the approach of how the body was designed to heal itself when given the ingredients/ composites, the body is made of and needs to function; as well as the power of nature and its gift to humanity for healing.
Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2004
This is a beautifully written book that manages to be both a crystal clear health practitioner's guide and a fascinating philosophical discussion of the nature of disease and health.

The Fourfold Path to Healing offers a variety of very specific ways to restore balance to the human body, all of which are gentle, non-invasive, and sensible.

Four introductory chapters discuss the "paths" of the title -- nutrition, therapeutics (herbs and whole-food supplements), movement and meditation. Then Dr. Cowan applies these foundational principles to a variety of conditions, from arthritis to cancer to weight loss to heart disease.

He invites us to look at health conditions as more than collections of symptoms. He does so skillfully, drawing on the language of myth as well as botany, dreams, the work of Rudolf Steiner, and other insightful metaphors. Each discussion guides the reader into a broader understanding of the ways in which our health reflects our world view, our mental and emotional balance, and, of course how we care for our physical bodies.

The Fourfold Path to Healing invites deeper participation in our healing -- and in the maintenance and care of our good health, as well.

In a time when there is so much gaslighting by doctors, this book gives some excellent direction for finding health in tanigble, do-it-yourself ways. Such a wealth of information, you could read it 5 times and get something new every time.

This is one of the best books on healing I've ever read. The concepts explained are novel - the heart is not a pump - but the explanations are so thorough and well written that you will agree with them.

Even if you have not been diagnosed with any of the ailments covered by the book - cancer, heart disease, HBP, chronic fatigue, etc... - you can make lifestyle changes to prevent them. We are following his suggestions.

So many books just tell you what to do - this book tells you why! It's so much easier to make changes if you understand WHY they're necessary.

Book was listed well. Arrived in good time. Was glad it was wrapped in a flexible cardboard. It needed to fold a little bit to get into and out of the mail box.

Having met two of the authors of this book in person and heard them speak more than once I can say with confidence they know what they are talking about, they practice what they preach and have years and years of healed and whole clients to back them up. When I first encountered this book I was not ready mentally to delve into this side of the healing arts - literally poo-poohing it out loud to others in hearing range - but a few years later, after having taken the plunge and eliminated processed foods, learning to ferment and culture, seeking local farm sources for our food - I was finally ready to read the book. THankfully my family has only had need to practice the advice from the chapter on infectious diseases to help manage a touch of the flu or bad cold, but it works every time! The advice on movement and meditation are just as vital and important as the ones on medication and nutrition. Using this will help you opt out from the conventional medicine paradigm and take back your health in a Big Pharm-free way!

If you follow the teachings of Weston A. Price, you will want this book. It's medical information is inovative and different; it's also ancient and user friendly. We look for natural healing medical information, and this book fits the bill. The book covers many health conditions. I bought it for the chapter on the heart, which was worth the price of the book on its own. Dr. Cowan's writing on "The heart is not a pump" is thrilling to read!! Lots of helpful incites. I will keep studying this book.

I've been trying to use the cookbook, Nourishing Traditions and realized that this book is a companion to it. I don't agree
with all the info given but since I use Standard Process vitamins regularly, which he recommends , I wanted to know what he suggests for various aliments. Very interesting approach to different diseases, their cause and cures. I'd recommend it as another
source for one to use in figuring a natural approach to physical dis-ease.

Anyone interested in preparing food to get the most healthy benefits that our body can utilize, needs this source of information. This book also gives you alternative methods of healing.
