Restitution: Rebalancing the Art and Science in Medicine

In this ground-breaking work, Dr Gabriella Day, considers how the medical system has moved into a realm of cold, hard science that has neglected ancient healing wisdom and the intuitive, compassionate aspect of medicine. True healing must involve both, in balance. The healthy human organism is a harmonious combination of material physicality and mental and spiritual intangibility, but when disease arises, it requires that both aspects are addressed. Healing that ignores the intangible element and concentrates solely on the physical produces a progressive imbalance that only increases as the intensity of the medicine is cranked up. Health can only be restored when this imbalance is corrected. The roadmap for this correction will not be found in a laboratory, but in corrective recalibration from the heart and the revival and intelligent re-incorporation of traditional wisdom.
