Description
Inspired by his Cherokee grandmother’s healing ceremonies, Lewis Mehl-Madrona enlightens readers to “alternative” paths to recovery and health. Coyote Medicine isn’t about eschewing Western medicine when it’s effective, but about finding other answers when medicine fails: for chronic sufferers, patients not responding to medication, or “terminal” cases that doctors have given up on. In the story of one doctor’s remarkable initiation into alternative ways to spiritual and physical health, Coyote Medicine provides the key to untapped healing methods available today.
