Materia Medica: Vis Medicatrix Naturae - Paperback

by Glen Swartwout (Author)

Materia Medica is the classical term for an encyclopedia of medicines. The subtitle Vis Medicatrix Naturae means the healing power of nature. This extensive and well organized book is a foundational study guide for the student or practitioner of the healing arts, especially for those involved in or seeking to understand the multidimensional realm of natural medicine as applied to functional medicine, biocommunication and accelerated self healing. The context of this work is that the reason for healing the biological body is to free the conscious spirit vessel to experience, learn and grow in this life. The book begins to flesh out what may be the first explicit model that bridges the worlds of flesh and of spirit in an integral and coherent, scientifically based approach, leaving no stone unturned. Whether you are looking for a reference work on the breadth and depth of natural and holistic medicine, or a guide to developing yourself as a practitioner of the subtle and profound healing arts, this is one book you won't want to be without.

Author Biography

Rev. Dr. Glen discovered in the mid 1980's that he was at over 99% risk of dying before 1996, based on Bioelectronics of Vincent (BEV) known in European Biological Medicine as the Medicine of the Future because of its predictive power. BEV assesses biological age via blood, urine and saliva parameters of pH (protons), rH2 (electrons) and resistivity (ionization via photons), the three factors of biophysics which determine energy content of a biological fluid medium according to the Nernst Equation. Observations of the transformations between health, disease and back to health over more than half a century in this science of biophysics are the foundation of Dr. Glen's 5 Phases of Health model as a roadmap for accelerated self-healing and restoration of radiant health, function and longevity. Rev. Dr. Glen Swartwout graduated Magna Cum Laude with honors in Environmental Earth Sciences and Chemistry from Dartmouth College, and received his doctorate at the top of his class in Vision Science with honors in Optics as well as Leadership, being inducted into both Beta Sigma Kappa and the Gold Key Honor Societies at the State University of New York in Manhattan, where he trained at the largest outpatient vision clinic in the world. He served as Editor, Vice President and President of the American Optometric Student Association serving 4000 international student doctor members. He is the author of over 50 professional papers, books, and software programs. His first professional office was in Tokyo, Japan.
