Nemoc léčí - Nový přístup k nemoci, medicíně a lékařské profesi – Wilberg Peter (2018)

The author systematically and empathetically creates a concept for a new approach that is high time to adopt towards medicine, treatment, and disease prevention. He proposes the names "life medicine" and "life doctoring" and illustrates through examples what this new approach should entail. At the same time, he analyzes the differences between this new concept and traditional Western medicine, as well as so-called alternative medicine (or various healing methods). The main idea is that illness should be understood as a message trying to convey something important about how we live and where we currently are on our journey. We must learn to understand such messages so that they make sense to us and fulfill their purpose. In this sense, the role of the ordinary doctor or physician we visit in case of health problems is immensely important. The doctor can either help us understand this peculiar language or silence it with an incomplete, purely physical, mechanical approach and solution! This book is therefore very important for anyone working in the field of medicine; however, it is also crucial for the rest of us to learn to better and more independently understand what is really happening to us when we are ill.
