This book brings together an extraordinary and inspiring collection of interviews and encounters with leading healers and therapists working in complementary, alternative and integrative medicine. Through intimate conversations with top scientists and physicians about their own personal experiences with alternative modalities - both as human beings and as healers - readers are exposed to the many different disciplines that comprise this field. Additionally, through viewing the collection of conversations as a whole, the underlying principles that make alternative and complementary medicine so workable are revealed. Excitingly, issues of spirituality - and is there a God, some greater power and how does this relate to health? - is discussed by many of the scientists, making this one of the first books to actually bring this issue to the forefront
