Dr. Gladys is internationally known for her pioneering work in alternative medicine. A much honored physician with a gentle approach to disease, “it is not killing off a disease, it is seeing the patient as a whole person.”

Dr. McGarey believes that the practice of medicine has become a war against disease, a killing machine and rather than building life we destroy it. The premise of this book is that we must change our focus from killing to living. As we support the living process in a person, life itself brings about the healing that person needs. It is not that the therapeutic modalities are wrong it is what out intention is in using them. Our job is to work and support the physician within each of us. Then living medicine becomes our dwelling place.

For more than 60 years Dr. Gladys has practice and taught a medicine of healing. Here in one book is her profound wisdom about how we get sick and how we get well. Living Medicine is a book for anyone who suffers needlessly because they do not recognize the innate power of the body to heal itself and have not yet learned ways collaborates with it.

Living Medicine embraces the essential need to trust, intimacy, and friendship in the doctor/patience relationship and sacredness of caring for the individual as well as the presenting symptoms. In searching for the underlying causes and contributing factors of any imbalance, whether physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual, Dr. McGarey urges the medical professions to rely on the ability of the body to heal itself and to support the natural homeostatic mechanisms at all levels of the imbalance before resulting to synthetic palliative and symptomatic medicine.
