A Return to Healing: Radical Health Care Reform and the Future of Medicine

For several decades, a rapidly emerging person-centered medical paradigm has catalyzed a renaissance in the understanding of lifelong wellness, and this timely book presents the inspiring story of this new medicine, revealing how it can unlock the door to a health care system that works for all Americans. This resource explains how corporatized medicine only gets to work once disease occurs, while integrative medicine prioritizes prevention and noninvasive treatments as the first line of defense, blending the best-evidenced solutions from both mainstream and alternative healing modalities. It argues that single-payer national health insurance is a necessary but insufficient solution and suggests a genuine return to healing by combining regulatory reform with support for a transformed medical paradigm. Rich with the latest research in both biomedical science and health care policy, this is a superb guide to the future of medicine.
