WHERE MEDICINE FAILS tells the startling story of how seventeenth century philosopher Rene Descartes, set the agenda for modern medicine. It explains how deep seated underlying concepts of mind and body, dictate theory and practice for all aspects of illness and treatment.

A philosophy we’ve come to accept as ultimate truth says we are immaterial minds paired with mechanical bodies. This is dualism - a "mind-body problem" for philosophers:

a very real problem for us. Damaging consequences impact us every day:

- The philosophy makes us see ourselves as victims of illness we actually cause. This leaves us helpless in the face of an epidemic of psychosomatic ills.

- The philosophy makes us see illness a mechanical failure with no more meaning and purpose than a flat tire. This makes pain meaningless suffering.

- The philosophy tells us what can and can not exist. It denies self-healing. Our potentially strongest ally is ruled out of play, and the list goes on... 

The holistic movement opened many doors, yet the underlying problem remains.   Understand it yourself, however, and your eyes open to myriad possibilities.   

We have much to learn from WHERE MEDICINE FAILS.  The importance of its lesson is proven by its longevity.  First published in 1986, it holds bestseller status on Amazon.com's list in Philosophy of Medicine.  Used copies are in demand world wide.  Now in paperback: a new edition at an appealing price.
