Reviewer: Ayhan Gezer

Im really much enjoyin reading the book.Covering various topics of vibration and energy flow throughout our body.Explains how vital the flow of energy through our body.I realise now how important it is that flow of CHI energy is for our organs to function properly.It is an intersting book indeed worth reading highly for those who wish to learn about vibrational medicine as an alternative way to help heal your body naturaly and maintain the balance of energy flow .Since the western medicine cannot go near what this book covers.

Highly Recommended! 2009-03-26

I have owned this book for many years and refer back to it often. When Dr. Gerber calls this a complete guide, he's not kidding! It covers everything from homeopathy to acupuncture, flower essences to healing with color. And there is an excellent section on various types of hands-on healing. It is not written in a mystical manner, but backs up its claims by including experiments that have been done on each subject. I don't know that non-believers will be convinced, but I'm not sure that any book has that capability. For those with an open mind, I highly recommend delving into this book a topic at a time...chances are you'll end up reading the entire thing, and being fascinated as I was.

A practical, succinct description of tomorrow's medicine

At the dawn of the twenty-first century, the old paradigms underlying the sciences are beginning to fall apart. This is nowhere so clearly seen as in medicine and in the physical sciences. Physicists seeming to be less resistant to innovation than physicians, quantum theory has effectively replaced the mechanistic theories of Newton and even the relativistic teachings of Einstein as orthodoxy.

Vibrational healing now occupies a space in relation to conventional biomedicine precisely analogous to that held by what was called the 'New Physics' in the 1940's and 50's.

Dr. Gerber informs us that vibrational medicine philosophically rests on the recognition that the human being is more than a physical body, but also incorporates a "body" of life energy, a "body" of sensitivity and feelings, and a spiritual essence or Self. Vibrational modalities interact with these subtle bodies of the human being, evoking specific qualities in response. We can say that they work in a similar way to inspirational music or art, which carry meaning through the vehicle of sound or light, while the modalities of vibrational medicine work through the medium of the patterns of energy that suffuse, enfold and interpenetrate our physical selves.

Modern physics has known for decades that matter and consciousness are intertwined so finely as to seem to present the two as but aspects of a single phenomenon. Medical science nonetheless continues to utilize a nineteenth century model of the human being as a mechanism, but another machine (albeit an especially complicated one) in a world of machines. Given present trends, we can reasonably expect that in the coming century medical science will develop ways of assessing the impact of consciousness on health, and we will learn more about ourselves and the ways in which vibrational healing modalities work.

Dr. Richard Gerber's work is destined to become a classic: a practical, succinct description of tomorrow's medicine - so clearly written that one might read it and without further ado utilize some of the more straightforward therapeutic modalities described therein which run the gamut from homeopathy to color therapy, from radiesthesia to Reiki.

I unhesitatingly recommend Dr. Richard Gerber's valuable and delightfully-written volume to every healer, professional or lay, with an interest in alternative or complementary medicine or energetic healing.

How Many Ways Can You Spell QUACK? 2006-08-06

Reviewer: BookMan

Vibrational Medicine is allegedly written by someone with an M.D. With that being so, it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect that the author had a fair amount of education and was capable of writing a book that while potentially controversial (nothing wrong with that per se) but was supported by real research which, of course, would also be listed in a well-written bibliography. Don't expect anything like this; however, from Richard Gerber - the guy is a real QUACK!

I originally had high hopes for this book - with the topic being "vibrational medicine" there is an incredible wealth of information on all kinds of related topics - including the complete sound spectrum and the electromagnetic continuum. Obviously an enormous amount of time could be spent on examining such readily (and empirically) identifiable uses of such waveforms but that seems to be expecting far too much from Gerber.

Instead of science, Gerber decides to spew forth endless pages of New Age quackery beginning with a seemingly never-ending discourse on chakra's and other such garbage. He refers to "research" conducted by clairvoyants, psychics, faith healers, "medical intuitives", and a whole plethora of other euphemisms as the basis for his drivel. This appears to be designed to legitimize the fact that he can't support the bizarre ideas he presents.

While one can't help but wonder if Gerber must have missed his thorazine when he wrote this nonsense, he covers many of the most ridiculous modalities of "healing" but ignores many, many valid ones. For example, Gerber doesn't even mention the use of sound - a treatment modality that has found uses in essentially every culture and yet he goes into such bizarre topics as long distance "color therapy" where the healer merely "thinks" of a color while projecting his/her healing thought upon a patient who happens to be miles away.

In fact, this book contains so much meaningless tripe that it might be best to sum it up by hypothesizing a visit to Gerber's "medical" practice. For example: suppose you are in the midst of a massive heart attack. After reading this book, it is easy to imagine that Gerber would tell you that his on-staff "medical intuitive" took the day off in order to find some more snake oil. As a result, he needs to call the psychic hotline first (because he can't read your aura) and will need the so-called clairvoyant at the other end of the line bathe you in "indigo" in order to unblock your chakras. Let's not forget that you will need to be facing west, during your heart attack, and have magnets placed upon your chest as you sniff the essence of dandelions that have been fermented in a green room (shaped like a pyramid, of course).

While there are so many promising approaches to healing that use legitmate techniques for overcoming sickness, books like this do nothing but harm those who are doing real research into alternative medicine modalities. If you have any sense, at all, avoid this unscientific pile of excrement behind ... after all, you wouldn't want to block your chakras!

Very Informative 2006-05-21

Reviewer: Carrie L. Stoafer

This book is so intense. It gets into information that some people aren't ready for. One of the concepts was: everything has an energy force, for instance, if you want love in your life, put rubies in a pitcher of filtered water in the early AM sun. Drink that water with infused ruby energy. The ruby energy will fill your prana, chi or vital force. It is not hocus-pocus. The author gets into scientific fact of how and why this happens. It actually lightened my mood. The placebo affect? Perhaps. There is so much information covered in this book. It takes time to absorb the information. Then read some more. But it is fascinating. I think I'll take mine out and read it again.
