Information from the cover or publisher

"Virus transformations as a consequence of pharmacological pollution in the human body/mind ecological system is a compelling hypothesis based on the data presented in George Vithoulkas' A New Model for Health and Disease. It strongly underscores the need to focus on an 'energy' medicine to correct the deficiencies of our present 'chemical' medicine." -William A. Tiller, Ph.D., Materials Science and Engineering, Stanford University In this long-awaited ground-breaking treatise, theorist and homeopathic teacher George Vithoulkas presents a new paradigm for modern medicine. Established medicine has failed in its mission to prevent or cure many diseases, Vithoulkas asserts, because of the excessive and often needless use of powerful drugs. Western medicine has a limited view of the total organism and the true sources of disease. Vithoulkas relates the increasing incidence of AIDS, cancer, asthma, epilepsy, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and other difficult-to-control illnesses to the weakening of the immune system from over-prescribing of drugs. Only when we fully integrate the role of the psyche, spirit and emotions into our explanations of illness, he says, will we be able to generate a fuller definition of health, and change our conception and methods of treatment. from A New Model for Health and Disease... "The quality of our health depends almost entirely on the quality of micro-organisms that exist normally within our body and thus form the basis of our life. If we disturb their equilibrium by pumping all this 'mold' into the organism, we are going to have a 'moldy' organism eventually." "The hypothesis in this treatise is that the HIV (Human Immunosuppressive Virus) would not have appeared and affected the human race in such an epidemic manner unless it had been preceded by widespread and frequent use of antibiotics which prepared the ground by breaking down the organism's immune system."

Commentary

"The book is written with a threefold objective in mind: 1. To show that established medicine has failed in its mission to prevent and cure disease... 2. To present a new model of health and disease as a new paradigm for the science of medicine... 3. To point out that such therapeutic systems exist and are available today..." Although the author apologizes for his "polemic or prejudiced manner" in asserting that all the modern diseases (AIDS, cancer, immune diseases) are caused by the use of modern drug therapies, the book tends to alienate all but the "true believer." I was reading the book on a plane, and in the seat next to me was a physician who was interested in the title. I let him look at the book, and he was both offended at the assertion of blame and mystified by it. No matter what its intent, the book is preaching to the converted and is not offered in a manner that would encourage those of the "medical establishment" to read further.
