Together, For Better Health Care!

“This book introduces a principle that can be applied to our health care system, of course, but more importantly, one that we can use ourselves first and foremost: the more we bring together our different components (physical, emotional, psychological and energy), the more it is possible to find balance within ourselves and preserve the autonomy of our own health, thus promoting less dependence on medications.” Several therapeutic approaches are presented in this book, including psychology, acupuncture, osteopathy, naturopathy, physiotherapy, chiropractic, massage therapy, kinesiology, yoga, Qi Gong and integrative medicine. A total of 39 studies are listed to document these approaches. Moreover, the author shows that Quebec is falling behind English Canada, the United States and Europe with regards to the integration of therapeutic approaches in the healthcare system. He explains some of the political, legal and cultural reasons for this lag, which is causing considerable harm to the population.
