"We are in the midst of a health revolution," says Simon.  "There is a perplexing disparity between the amazing medical miracles we have available to us  and the growing dissatisfaction with our modern health care system.  We have paid an emotional price for the high technology medicine of our time, sacrificing humane caring for efficiency.  And we are paying an ever increasing financial price as well." The Wisdom of Healing is divided into three sections,  each one designed to integrate the healing sciences of the east and west.  Dr.  Simon begins by exploring the importance of mental well being on physical health and continues with his insight into the world of the ancient Indian tradition of mind body medicine known as Ayurveda, which includes such treatments as food, herbs, breathing, purification and rejuvenation.  He concludes by recommending simple mind body prescriptions that can be incorporated to daily life. Never before has there been such an in-depth look into the study of applying ayurvedic medicine to some of  the most fatal diseases of this century.  InThe Wisdom of Healing, Dr. Simon breaks new ground in the affirmation that our mental state influences our physical well being.
