- Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2024A book like this sample must now be part of the curriculum for our medical students and practicing physicians as well. The insights make are riveting!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2013Richard Gerber has attempted to link science to the spiritual subject of energy healing which at best is a difficult task. Being a Reiki Healing Channel myself for the last 16 years, my experience with healing people matches greatly with what he has presented in this book. I have used many of his mentioned healing arts such as flower essences, crystals, magnets, yoga techniques over the years & have found them to be useful as well as beneficial. His Einstein dominant approach vs the present Newtonian thinking convinces through his explanations, the mindset we should be following as science matures to catch up with understanding the universe (or rather multiverse) we live in. The book explains the theoretical basis of many energy based healing modalities which can sound miraculous but which are based on natural laws as yet not fully understood or acknowledged by the majority. There is a saying among the Hindus: A poet reaches (by expression) where the Sun cannot & experience teaches (goes beyond expression in words) what a poet cannot. Science may try to prove many things right or wrong but it is limited due to following the defined route of the scientific method which presupposes many givens & constants. Nature is far more complex & has many more variables which cannot be correctly deduced in an experimental environment. Thus, the need for experience which can only be authenticated by a practitioner. The greater the number of practitioners who conclude the same results upon testing such methods, the more truth such methods prove. Richard Gerber has exposed us to such practitioners & their experiences.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2024Love that this book was written years ago. It just goes to show the mindset of the creatives years ago. Today, the doctors, me being one of them, are so busy with the basics. I love the depth of this book and ordered the second one he wrote to see where he went.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2020This book is written by an MD and helps one understand deeper relationships in the body and how energy informs our body and soul. Some of it is pretty grounded and accessible, some gets cosmic, but it all is tied together with science underpinnings and some good studies.
I am an energy practitioner (the masterful type with a science background, not the fringe type) and this book allows me to come out from being judged as "woo" (which I hate, these are principles of the universe and physics folks) and helps people see a larger framework.
Science and medicine is fine but a very small box. And guess what - as soon as pharma/science can monetize energy healing (which they are doing as we speak) it will be a lot more validated. Truth is true energy healing requires no meds or supplements or cost to effect change, but I'll be happy to split it down the middle at least.... mainstream energy work will likely never get rid of migraines and fix guts with the complete holistic healing I've learned through bioenergetics.... but this book is a huge start to understanding a larger framework to the human condition.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2024Just what you need by your side! Very easy to understand. I am really enjoying mine.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2004Dr. Gerber comes across as an enthusiastic, articulate, knowledgeable, perceptive, open-minded, and well-intentioned guide to a host of subtle-energy therapies ranging from flower essences to radionics. This reviewer found of special value his discussions of Electroacupuncture According to Voll, experiments with healing hands and magnets, and the neurophysiology of kundalini. His characterization of homeopathy as an energy therapy certainly seems on target. He also sprinkles intriguing insights into the psychology of healing throughout his general exposition of the commonly argued theoretical framework of energy medicine.
So this book offers very readable, rich fare to scientists, medical practitioners, and ordinary people who want to learn about the entire field of energy medicine, including the underlying scientific and psychological theory and the interconnections among the various modalities.
However, four deviations from perfection must be noted. First, this is a monoglot and provincial book. Even though the author refers to healing practices around the world, he exhibits a strong tendency to favor the North American versions. The narrative shortchanges the major contributions of the Russians, although ironically Kirlian is termed a Russian instead of an Armenian.
Second, the science of biophotonics (chemiluminescence) and the well-documented practice of Biophotonic Therapy (Photoluminescence), the treatment of the blood by light, are central to an understanding of energy medicine. Yet the book simply doesn't discuss the findings in the extensive biophotonics and BT literatures.
Third, aside from an inadequate concluding chapter, the book is rather dated. Most of the references are to the literature of the 1970s and early 1980s, but plenty of interesting research has been done since then.
Fourth, the reader will want to take with an appropriately sized grain of salt Dr. Gerber's assertions regarding the proclivities of the healer caste of Atlantis, the validity of "channeled information" from psychics (a key source), reincarnation as a source of physical ailments, and the reality of various astral and higher spiritual life forms. Nonetheless, he deserves great credit for the effort and intelligence with which he has assembled and explained the therapies and theories of this fascinating and vitally important field.

- Horia PopanReviewed in Canada on January 21, 2023
5.0 out of 5 stars This book is simply amazing if you ask me.
There are lots of books about healing, energy healing and more general about spiritual topics but only few are actually worth reading. In this day it is really hard to make a difference because thousands of books seem to be rated over 4 stars and some of them literally are cut and paste jobs with no original content. It seems that anyone can assemble a book of around 180 pages without breaking a sweat and saying anything new.
But this book is different. It is a book with rich content that requires attention and dedication to fully understand it. This is by far one of the best books I've ever purchased on this topic. I put it up there with the book Hands of Light from Barbara Ann Brennman. The author literally covers every healing discipline from traditional, to homeopathy and to energy healing. Energy healing is also split in multiple methods from electromagnetic healing to consciousness or mind healing. The human body and its subtitle bodies are scientifically presented author integrating all the various ancient schools of healing and showing how all are covering the same physical/metaphysical concepts. If your mind works as the one of a scientific researcher this is the book for you. If you work more on feeling without concerning yourself with all those details this book could give you too much information.
The author cites multiple sources that can lead you towards a certain direction of study if you feel the calling. Every section give multiple fragments from other books which were considered worthy to further detail a certain healing method, by the author. And if you trust the author of this book than you'll find more authors having books worth reading in those references.

5.0 out of 5 stars Información muy completa sobre la energía
Me ha gustado mucho la muy basta y buena información en relación a diversas técnicas del uso de la energía y su impacto en el cuerpo humano y la salud. Abrió mi comprensión hacia muchas técnicas relacionadas con el manejo de la energía dando un soporte científico a sus exposiciones.
- Glwyn SavageReviewed in Australia on November 24, 2021
5.0 out of 5 stars This is a textbook not a story.
This book is well written & very clear, a wonderful textbook but definitely not one that would be read in an evening.
Vibrational & energy medicine has interested me for a long time & I find this to be a fantastic learning experience but probably not one that would be read from cover to cover. Rather I find myself dipping into it looking for various different bits of information.
Well worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars su "Vibrational Medicine" di Richard Gerber
Conoscevo gia' questo libro nella sua prima edizione. E' un libro affascinante, un viaggio alla scoperta di nuove e antiche terapie connesse alla nostra energia personale. La nuova edizione ha uno spazio in piu' dedicato all'energia in contesti piu' ampi che quelli puramente medici.
Un libro per tutti i curiosi dell'argomento, scritto in maniera discorsiva ma che copre esaustivamente tutti gli aspetti dell'argomento.
