NEW BOOK REVEALS EXPLAINS HOW TO PLAY A WINNING HAND WITH THE ‘DECK OF GENETIC CARDS’ YOU’RE DEALT Author and physician exposes the key to total health and happiness
In an age of technology, the field of medicine appears to be returning to a more natural approach. Approximately 38 percent of adults in the United States aged 18 years and over and nearly 12 percent of U.S. children aged 17 years and under use some form of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), according to a new nationwide government survey.
Dr. Richard Ferrara, author of The Deck of Life, often integrated a holistic approach to medicine while practicing dermatology for 44 years.
“Despite the rapid advances and benefits made by modern technology in recent decades,” says Dr. Ferrara, “many people have become increasingly dissatisfied with modern healthcare.”
Returning to the roots of medicine based on Hippocrates, Dr. Ferrara became increasingly aware of how a person’s genetic makeup often related to their body build, temperament, and disease predisposition.
As modern medicine begins to shift back to a focus on the person, instead of solely on technology, Dr. Ferrara wrote The Deck of Life to enlighten others on their temperament and how they can maximize their health mind, body, and soul.
Delving deeper into a person’s genetic code, The Deck of Life examines:
* Hippocrates and the history of the temperament theory
* The link between body build, temperament, and certain diseases
* How to discover your own temperament thus finding balance in every aspect of life
* Why balancing your temperament requires proper care of the mind, body, and
soul
* The future of medicine and holistic healing
While the technological advancements are vital to leading a physically healthy
life, the focus on the mind and soul must be incorporated in total health, as well. “Many people are favoring alternative methods of treatment which encompasses the relationship of the integral nature of mind, body, and spirit,” says Dr. Ferrara.
Dr. Richard J. Ferrara, Sr. M.D. was a Board Certified Dermatologist for 44 years while also teaching and lecturing at Wayne State University Medical School. He is active in writing, research, teaching, lecturing, and music. Dr. Ferrara currently resides in Grosse Point Woods, MI.
