Improved Theory and Practice of Medicine by Alexander H. Davis Pdf

Excerpt from Improved Theory and Practice of Medicine: Deduced From Forty Years Successful Practice In the state Of health the various functions are executed in a regular and harmonious manner, and are intimately connected by consent or sympathy; but, if a morbific cause impresses the Organism, this harmonious condition is disturbed; a fresh series of actions results; and disorder supervenes. Physiolo gists have noticed in every living body an instinctive action an action Of the living principle, manifestly directing its Opera tions to the health, preservation, or reproduction Of a living frame, or of any part of it. This applies to the plant as well as to the animal. It is the mic mea'z'catrz'x naturw for and against which so much has been said; but which, if restricted to the Operation we have mentioned, can no more be denied than the existence which we know nothing except by its results. It is strikingly witnessed in the reparatory power exerted by living bodies after the receipt of an injury. If we tear a branch from a tree, we find that the injury done to the parent trunk is repaired by an action analogous to that set up by the animal whenever a wound is inflicted upon it.

The Human Effect in Medicine by Michael Dixon,Keiran Sweeney Pdf

How is modern medicine failing? Why is a more human approach required? This book challenges the dogma of modern technological medicine that ignores both the therapeutic effect of the doctors and the self-healing powers of the patient. It reviews the vast weight of evidence on the effectiveness of this ‘human effect’, and uses the evidence to describe how to use the human effect in everyday practice. This book is about a vision. A vision that practitioners and patients will recognise and regain their therapeutic potential. It provides a shift in perspective on what doctors can achieve. Thoroughly referenced, it is vital for general practitioners, and also very relevant to all doctors, nurses, health managers, policy makers and indeed patients. ‘Pendulums swing in most fields of life, and medicine and general practice are no exceptions. At the mid-point of the twentieth century the human side of medicine was well understood and implicitly accepted by most working practitioners. As the century progressed, the personal aspects came second (but now) the pendulum of thought has started to swing back again towards the personal.
