Title: The original "hippie" health book
Product review: Even if the health information in this book was not valuable, the historic nature of what the authors accomplished is valuable and noteworthy. It is too much to say that The Well Body Book founded the alternative medicine movement but it blasted the awe in which the general public beheld the medical profession up until that time. It also was a necessary resource for a generation that rejected the wisdom of its parents and grandparents, in the process throwing away the accumulated folk knowledge of medicines and health practices that had worked for centuries. Iconoclastic, The Well Body Book did lay the foundation for the health self-help movement that today exists as physican/patient partnerships for health and well-being in which the "health partners" are equal participants in staying healthy and recovering from illness. This 31-year old book is not out-of-date.
