A beacon for medicine in the twenty-first century!-- STANLEY KRUPPER, PROFESSOR OF PSYCHOLOGY, SAYBROOK INSTITUTE, AUTHOR OF THE REALMS OF HEALING A book filled with pertinent information.... Beautifully written and painfully honest... a fascinating life turned into a fascinating book. -- BETH CROME, SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS-NEWS Inspired by his Cherokee grandmother`s healing ceremonies, Lewis Mehl- Madrona enlightens readers to `alternative` paths to recovery and health. Coyote Medicine isn`t about eschewing Western medicine when it`s effective, but about finding other answers when medicine fails: for chronic sufferers, patients not responding to medication, or `terminal` cases that doctors have given up on. In the story of one doctor`s remarkable initiation into alternative ways to spiritual and physical health, Coyote Medicine provides the key to untapped healing methods available today. All readers, from those with a casual interest in Native American healing to health providers who want to learn more about alternative medicine, will enjoy and learn from this book. -- NATALIE KUPFERBERG, LIBRARY JOURNAL A worthy complement to the work of Larry Dossey and other forward-thinking physicians.-- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY LEWIS MEHL-MADRONA holds an M.D. from Stanford University and has been a practicing physician for over twenty years.
