KINSHIP MEDICINE (PB)

Our modern way of living is incompatible with our survival. Most of us intuitively know this truth, but almost everything in our society encourages us to ignore it. The antidotes to many of the causal factors of poor health -loneliness, industrial diets, systemic inequality, fear of death, profit-based healthcare - are relational. This book will give you a clear vision of what a new society might look like, methods to accomplish this transformation, and concrete examples of where it is being done successfully, showing that we must incorporate an “ecosystem” perspective into modern medicine. Topics covered include; What you ingest and where you live can reinforce or upset your body’s delicate balance, Eliminating one organism in an ecosystem can affect all the others, Histories of trauma can be passed down for generations, Rekindling our relationships to non-human life is essential to our well-being, Being closer to death can release some of its power over us, Actions of communities will be stronger and more lasting than any individual efforts.
