Reviews
""Thomas Hardtmuth and Richard House agree that mainstream bio-pharmaceutical medicine is in need of urgent reform, if not a revolution. In this searching dialogue, they delve into the most fundamental assumptions and ontologies of illness, health and well-being, and offer pointers for how health systems need to change. Unmissable."" Dr Christian Buckland, Psychotherapist.....; ""With their publication, 'Beyond Mainstream Medicine', Thomas Hardtmuth and Richard House have presented a small masterpiece for which one can only be grateful... Particularly inspiring is the clear description of a necessary paradigm shift in medicine, in which each and every one of us can actively participate. For at the centre of this new paradigm for health is the individual human being with his or her special possibilities to strengthen his or her spiritual, soul and physical health and thus his or her complex immune system."" Michaela Gloeckler, M.D. -----; “I found your wonderful book 'Beyond Mainstream Medicine' to be both enlightening and profoundly moving. The dialogue seemed like a flicker of truth and warmth amid what sometimes feels like the never-ending cacophony of nonsense. I found it a miraculous reading. The most in-depth, sane science, with a dash of much-needed spirituality, that I've read in a long time. A joy to read.” Anna Dusseau
