Available at long last, the first, genuinely integrative medicine text.

Physicians,
nurses, alternative practitioners, or chiropractors investigating integrative
medicine will welcome Interpreting Chronic Illness for its clinical relevance: the
physician may look to broaden the concepts of health and healing; the homeopath
will appreciate its fresh materia medica; the practitioner of Traditional Chinese
Medicine will value how the book's updating of the Five Phases heightens the
ancient system's relevance. Psychologists and psychotherapists may delve into the
clinical possibilities raised by the book's self-diagnosis mandala and the
startling capability it offers of interpreting multifactorial symptoms. As a health
care practitioner unable to find a well-rounded book on integrative medicine, the
author's discovery of a unique analytical method, Sense Dimensional Analysis,
encouraged him to create Interpreting Chronic Illness as a systematically
integrated book. Readers may come to share the author's own excitement in exploring
the uses of this comprehensive, philosophically based, and powerful pragmatic tool.
Accolades for Interpreting Chronic Illness: "Jerry Kantor has successfully
integrated the disciplines of homeopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and
biomedicine into pragmatic healing approaches that busy practitioners can readily
and easily apply to common clinical presentations. Multimodal management and
integrative medicine techniques, while certainly the best approach to medical
conditions, can be deceptively complex. Jerry's explanations and guidelines are the
perfect balance of background information and recommendations allowing the
clinician to effectively supplement their treatment armamentarium." --Mark
Scheutzow MD, PhD, DHom, NMD, FAAIM, DABHM, DAAPM "A brilliant and groundbreaking
work by an integrative practitioner who 'speaks the language' of three very
different healing paradigms--biomedicine (modern Western medicine), Traditional
Chinese Medicine and homeopathy. By illumining each in the light of the others, he
brings the CAM modalities from a subservient role as 'alternative medicine' to full
participation as 'complementary.' Kantor simultaneously updates the Five Elements
model of acupuncture; provides fresh insights into the major homeopathic remedies
based on the Five Elements model; and shows how both can address the diagnostic
categories of biomedicine. This will be an essential book for practitioners and
students of all three modalities who want to expand their healing paradigm." --
Begabati Leninhan, RN, CCH, Former Director of the Teleosis School of Homeopathy "A
seminal work of probing, integrative intelligence, Jerry Kantor's Interpreting
Chronic Illness systematically lays out how Nature, personal temperament and life
experience constitute the crucible for chronic illness and, in turn, the laboratory
for self-understanding. It will consolidate and advance the thinking of
practitioners of acupuncture and homeopathy, and will challenge Western-trained
health care professionals to think of illness and disease as more than just
invading pathogens." --Eugene L. Pogany, PhD, Clinical Psychologist, author of In
My Brother's Image "Much of American medicine is based on the belief that disease
is an entity that flies through the air and lands on the unlucky, whereupon we 'do
battle' with it. Jerry Kantor persuades us otherwise. I won't let another physician
touch me until he/she has read this book." --William Martin Sloane, PhD, Vice
President, American Association of Integrative Medicine "I know of no other body of
work, in the science of homeopathic medicine which demystifies the core essence of
homeopathic materia medica as does Kantor's brilliant work." --Georgianna Donadio,
PhD, Florence Nightingale Scholar, Director of the National Institute of Whole
