Description:

"Heart, hands, and head. Lisa Rohleder's new book, The Remedy: Integrating Acupuncture into American Health Care, offers the perfect blend of passion, practicality, and cogent argument. This book is essential for anyone who wants to see a better, simpler, and more powerful way of practicing and receiving this ancient 'peasant medicine.' In a few simple pages, Rohleder offers a commanding vision that can transform, not only American health care, but our broader society as well. Her book threatens the status quo, our stubborn classist notions, and unchallenged assumptions about what is important to the practice of health care. Read this book if you wish to see how it can all be made to work, for a change!"--Michael R. McCoy, Ph.D., Former Executive Director, Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Alliance
