Human Health and Homeostasis: Body Balance, Measuring and Mapping the Steady State Paperback – September 1, 1999

Since before the time of Hippocrates, there have always been people who understood that healing can occur naturally in the human body if it is given what it truly needs a proper diet, pure water, fresh air, sunlight, exercise, and rest. Over the years lay practitioners and doctors developed systems of natural healthcare based on these principles, and by the beginning of the 20th Century, Dr. Benedict Lust had formalized the practice he called naturopathy.

Some may be skeptical; they may find it difficult to embrace the naturopathic philosophy without hard scientific evidence to validate its effectiveness. To help substantiate this important area of study, Dr. Emanuel Cheraskin brought considerable talents, knowledge and expertise to the task of documenting the tangible benefits of holistic health. He initiated an ongoing peer-validated naturopathic research program to gather objective data on holistic health, with scientific follow-up and analysis. These findings, published in peer-reviewed journals, show the benefit of naturopathic teachings and a holistic lifestyle.

Dr. Cheraskin s 24th book, Human Health and Homeostasis, explores and documents the scientific basis behind one of the fundamental principles of naturopathy balance or homeostasis. Herein are the building blocks to robust physical and emotional health.

Editorial Reviews

Review

You recognize great humans through their humility, an essential quality for forward-moving steps in science which benefit humanity.

Cheraskin humbly dedicated his life to health education, that we may better understand our hormones' and body functions' role in the process of health or illness. --Finn Robert-Tissot, D.M.D.

Dr. Cheraskin makes a brilliant case, in a technically impressive manner. --Frank Rifkin

The current medical model diagnoses, labels, then attacks disease. Rather than follow this path, Dr. Cheraskin explored homeostasis to have good health, and he shows us how to achieve it. --Jerome S. Mittelman, D.S.D

3.0 out of 5 stars Too general to be meaningful

This book is a collection of articles from the International Journal of Biosocial and Medical Research. If you have access to an article database, you can read them there.
I was underwhelmed by this book. It is far too general an overview for the subject matter. I'll come up with an alternative recommendation and post it here at a later date.

This is not a novel. Good thinking, just very thick stuff. Don't buy for entertainment. It is a study book.
