Reviews

“Radical Medicine is a thoughtful and comprehensive guide to everything I have learned and do daily. It really reminds us how difficult this work is, how subtle, how layered we are. Patients most often do not understand this and increasingly want the magic vitamin. I am going to post some things from the book on the office bulletin board, so that people can appreciate what is really involved in healing.”
*Robert Zieve, M.D., author of Beyond the Medical Meltdown, founder and director of the Center for He*

“As a patient, I found that the content of Radical Medicine directly reflected my own recognition of what my body/being needed for health and healing. I am now being treated at the Paracelsus Clinic in Switzerland, and their biological medical model mirrors some of the overall healthcare and wellness approaches explained in this revelatory and fascinating book. Radical Medicine contains a lifetime of wisdom.”
*Jeannine Walston, cofounder and executive director of EmbodiWorks, a nonprofit providing integrative*

“Radical Medicine is truly amazing--a wonderful work with such depth that I didn’t want to put it down. I thought I knew more than most doctors in certain areas but was surprised when I felt an eagerness to get back to working with holistic medicine while reading it. I didn’t think there was any resource out there that would elicit that reaction. I am blown away at its depth.”
*James Johnson, holistic health advocate*

“Its [Radical Medicine] assessment of holistic, natural therapies makes for a powerful body of knowledge key to any natural healing collection.”
*Midwest Book Review, October 2011*

“Williams is extremely thorough, providing well-rounded discussions of the issues, including their history and the approaches of both allopathic and complementary medicine...This is an ambitious book, and the author succeeds in her goal of almost exhaustively covering the issues of toxicity in relation to disease”
*Joan Parisi Wilcox, Quantum Health, December 2011*

“It is a very important book for both practitioners and patients because it points out in detail what is involved in a person’s journey toward wholeness, a journey that is often difficult but always worthwhile. This book is invaluable in my life now and will be for many years to come; I highly recommend it to anyone who is on his or her journey toward health and wholeness.”
*Dhara Lemos, Lotus Guide, January 2012*

“Louisa Williams ends Radical Medicine by thanking her readers for having completed reading the book and urging prospective practitioners of her ‘radical’ approach to lead by example and in every way possible. I can only respond by thanking her for writing such an inspiring book in the first place and hoping that enough people who read this prodigious work can collectively provide enough critical mass to translate her ideas into widespread practice. Get a copy, read it and be inspired!”
*Huw Griffiths, New Dawn*
