Foreword
Hal is an important thinker in modern medicine because he is
one of the few people attempting to evaluate what we all can do to
help ourselves create health. His thought is not prejudiced by the
stereotypes and rigidities of long， formal medical training but re-
suits from a sincere effort to try to figure out what health and illness
are and what each of us can do about them. People in the medical
establishment have a way of accepting their view of reality as final
and correct; Hal is one of the few people who without rejecting
medicine broadens it to include other ways of seeing.
The cold and flu are perfect vehicles for Hal s philosophy of
medicine. First， the cold is rather simple compared to， let s say， a
rare disease; second， medicine can do little for the cold， although
doctors in family medicine spend probably half their time on it.
Like the cold and flu， this book is deceptively simple. The reader
will discover that it actually involves a different view of reality than
what most of us are accustomed to. It presents health as a relation-
ship with the world-- a relationship of balance and harmony with
the things we do and the world around us. This is truly the holistic
view of healing. It is also the essence of good self-help medicine.
Hal believes in helping people to see science s facts that relate to
health--so that everyone can use this knowledge to create har-
mony and well-being in their lives. In this he is one of the fathers of
holistic and self-help medicine.
Thanks Hal!
