- so far he hadn't so much as made a pass at her, after the first night when he'd nearly raped her.

Psionic Medicine heralds the dawn of a new era in medical practice, with health-maintaining & curative potentials that are a significant addition to the repertory of treatment developed in biochemical medicine.

In Psionic Medicine the critical factor is not chemistry & surgical intervention
- though such methods remain indicated in some cases
- but subtle 'informational' inputs that affect the patient's biofield.

The book in the hands of the reader provides a remarkably clear & concise overview of what psionic medicine is, how it works, & why it deserves the kind of attention that presently only molecular & genetics-based breakthroughs are accorded. It merits serious & urgent attention by the general lay public & the medical professionals alike.
