In this text Dr McGarey, a pioneer in holistic medicine, offers readers a glimpse of what medicine may be like in the next millennium by sharing the case histories and philosophy of her 50-year medical practice. Real-life stories of her patients show readers the potential of Dr MacGarey's approach to medical care. By taking responsibility for their own health, by going into full partenership with their doctor, and by opening themselves to alternative modalities, McGarey's patients were healed back into life, or learnt to face with grace and dignity the certainty of their deaths.
