Our current health care system is wonderful at treating acute medical crises, but fails miserably with chronic diseases and does not know how to keep people healthy. There is a new medical model emerging which combines the knowledge we have gained from science with the wisdom we have learned from ancient traditions. Come to a series of discussions hosted by Dr. Frank Lipman on this new medical paradigm, which incorporates modalities that have been part of most healing traditions for centuries.
