A Healer in Every Household

An original and insightful look at health, illness and the healing process by a dedicated complimentary practitioner from whose work I have benefit personally. Gabor Mate, M.D., Author, When the Body Says No: The cost of Hidden Stress Many books on health and wellness populate the shelves of bookstores, but Dr. Bolliger's book carves a unique space of its own. I was struck at the interesting balance it provided for a variety of readers. I think it serves doctors and patients alike to investigate the insight she has developed over her years of clinical interactions with people challenged with a wide variety of health concerns in the current environment of North American health care. Dr. Bolliger has a way of integrating current scientific research with traditional lore in a manner that harmonizes the perceived chasm between them. She describes her journey to her philosophical stance that entices and enlightens without preaching and does so with a poetic flare. Above all, this is an engaging and interesting read. Dr. David Scotten, ND, Med, Dean of Academics, Boucher Institute of Naturopathic Medicine Dr. Bolliger's message is clear. Unless we approach illness from a biopsychosocial spiritual perspective, we are unfortunately doomed to experience, in one form or another, a repeat of what ails us. Her book celebrates a new relationship, one that urges all to step up and challenge the assumptions behind band-aid approaches and the war against the body. It is a compelling must-read book for anyone motivated in the pursuit of true health. Suzanne LaCombe, Ed. D., R. Psych.
