Natural or holistic forms of healthcare, such as alternative therapies have a very different approach and understanding of health and disease to conventional allopathic medicine.
This book highlights the differences between the two, without attempting to make either one better than the other.
It explores the holistic understanding of what health is and how disease occurs, and goes on to explore the germ theory of disease in detail, and how our current understanding and treatments of infectious disease could be based on a false premise.
