The second opinion book. Give Wellness a chance.
The Sweet Smell of Success by James Tad Geiger MD
Books on wellness and aromatherapy have been written from many points of view. The Sweet Smell of Success takes a very unique approach to both of these topics. As an acute care anesthesiologist, I believe clinical aromatherapy should be integrated with conventional allopathic Western Medicine in the Wellness Revolution of the twenty-first century.
Aromatherapy with essential oils is one entity of the vast array of holistic specialties comprising nutriogenomic medicine and complementary alternative medicine. Although these specialties and aromatherapy are not appreciated by many physicians and are often misrepresented to the public, there are tremendous advantages to be gained from their diverse applications.
There is a widening health care information gap between health consumers and care providers. The material presented here bridges the gap between laypeople as health care consumers and medically oriented health care providers, with detailed natural healing information based on the art and medically scientific knowledge. It is my impression from working with my patients and their families that many people have an interest in using “natural” ways of healing but have doctors who are uninformed, disinterested, or not accepting of alternative medicine. This text contains current and compelling scientific explanations and references, offering food as medicines alternatives meant to be integrated with all forms of healthcare including traditional medical treatment. Patients can give this book to their doctor to provide another medical doctor’s viewpoint, a second opinion.
This process represents a tremendous shift in thought and action for most people. Awareness and concern for the health of the people of our country and all the nations of the world are increasingly shared by growing numbers of medical and health care workers, professionals, celebrities, and even some politicians. The maldistribution of food worldwide perpetuates starvation and obesity epidemics, affecting more adults and children with each passing day. A generation of premature deaths, whether from obesity or starvation, is a sad and unacceptable result. Awareness of these problems is the critical first step to circumvent the predictable progression of illness, disability, and death due to these malnourished states.
Another major concern for our society is aging. Aging increases the need for essential foods as medicines that function as antioxidants, which the body uses as critical building blocks for the formation of free radical scavengers and the energy required for effective metabolism. Read and get enthused to practice these revealing wellness secrets, acting on exciting healthy choices that are naturally good for you.
Aromatically Yours,
