Wilhelm Reich – Putting the Body in Mind-Body Healing, Part 2

His name was Wilhelm Reich, and he was a man far ahead of his time, but unfortunately he is for the most part forgotten. Born in 1897 in … [Read more...]

A Look at Homeopathy, Part 2
In the previous article, A Look at Homeopathy, Part 1, I looked at how this very sophisticated form of medicine got its beginnings.

Hahnemann observed from his … [Read more...]
