Richard Gerber - Vibrational medicine: the #1 handbook of subtle-energy therapies

This book is dedicated to the vast spiritual Hierarchy which silently works to uplift the human condition.

a medicine of the future ...
beyond mechanics to the domain of mind and spirit

"Dr. Richard Gerber has brought together an extensive compilation of information on human energy systems that serves to make clear the significant bioenergetic principles emerging in our time for the development of a new 'Einsteinian Medicine.' I would recommend it equally for the researcher's reference, the layperson in search for the meaningful, or for the student looking for hints to the changing paradigms of the near future."

Dolores Krieger R.N., Ph.D.
professor of nursing, New York University; author of Therapeutic Touch

"Anyone who is aware of the recent trends in medicine will realize that modern physicianslike the physicists before themhave begun to deal with finer and finer forms of energy both in the diagnosis and treatment of human illness.... Dr. Richard Gerber has provided a valuable step in thinking about the higher reaches of human beingsthat rarefied domain where consciousness and body come together, where mind and matter meld.... He takes us beyond mechanics to the domain of mind and spirit, and shows how these issues will become crucial factors in the medicine of the future."

Larry Dossey, M.D.
author of Space, Time and Medicine

"Twenty-first century health care will be based upon the subtle energy principles and interventions involving the mind, body, environmental, and spiritual dimensions which are so authoritatively documented in Vibrational Medicine. Clearly, this is a landmark book which is a challenging, controversial, and brilliant tour de force of major historical and clinical significance.

Kenneth R. Pelletier, Ph.D.
UCSF School of Medicine
author of Mind as Healer, Mind as Slayer

"Dr. Richard Gerber's well-researched text is a welcome addition to the growing interest in the alternative modalities which assist the thousands wanting non-toxic medical treatments.... Dr. Gerber's book with his outstanding medical credentials adds tremendous credible information to the holistic movement."

Abram Ber, M.D.
Arizona Homeopathic Medical Board

"[Dr. Gerber was] quite bold in writing about a broad range of healing arts and sciencesand equally bold in the esoteric depth in which [he] discussed them.... Bravo! This book which should be read by all people in the healing professions."

Robert Leichtman, M.D. author, Returns series

"What a masterpiece! For the first time we have a scientific review of energy healing with a powerful overview of the whole subject....I predict it will be the standard reference for all researchers and teachers.

Dael Walker director, Crystal Awareness Institute

"For thirty years now there has been a slow shift in paradigm of healing from the monotheism of scientific medicine toward a concept of holistic medicine and more recently one which has been called sometimes energy medicine. Dr. Gerber's use of the word vibrational falls into this category. This is a book for those at the interface ... individuals who are beginning to open their consciousness."

C Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D.
founding president, American Holistic Medical Association

"The human body is made up of electronic vibrations, with each atom and element of the body, each organ and organism, having its electronic unit of vibration necessary for the sustenance of, and equilibrium in, that particular organism. Each unit, then, being a cell or a unit of life in itself has the capacity of reproducing itself by the first law as is known of reproduction-division. When a force in any organ or element of the body becomes deficient in its ability to reproduce that equilibrium necessary for the sustenance of physical existence and its reproduction, that portion becomes deficient in electronic energy. This may come by injury or by disease, received by external forces. It may come from internal forces through lack of eliminations produced in the system or by other agencies to meet its requirements in the body."

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

This book is a culmination of more than twelve years of reading, study, research, and inner search. Although there are many scientists, psychics, and scholars who are mentioned throughout the book, there have been a few who have had a profound influence on my thinking. From these special individuals and their writings I have drawn much inspiration and insight, which has served to stimulate my own creative thinking and model building. They stretched my thinking to such a degree that they irreversably changed my perception of myself, of humanity as a whole, and of the universe. The vast physical realm is but a small part of an even greater and more wondrous multidimensional reality, of which we, as human beings, have infinitely more control than is immediately apparent. By helping myself and others to begin to appreciate the limitless boundaries of human potential (especially with regard to the realms of healing), these special individuals have helped to pave the way before me.

For their pioneering efforts and inspiring words, I wish to thank the following individuals: Marilyn Ferguson, Robert Monroe, Carl Simonton, Anne and Herbert Puryear, Judith Skutch-Whitson and William Whitson, Abram Ber, Robert Leichtman, Dolores Krieger, Brugh Joy, Bernard Grad, Alice Bailey, Jane Roberts and Seth, Hilarion, Itzhak Bentov, Russell Targ and Harold Puthoff, Stanley Krippner, Shafica KaraguIla, Viola Petit Neal, Pelletier, Meredith Lady Young, Albert Einstein, William Tiller, Nikola Tesla, Edgar Cayce, Edward Bach, Kevin Ryerson, Gurudas, Gabriel Cousens, Geoffrey Hodson, Charles Leadbeater, Rudolph Steiner, Thelma Moss, David Bohm, Dael Walker, Charles Tart, David Tansley, Harry Oldfield, Elmer and Alyce Green, Marcel Vogel, James Hurtak, Semyon and Valentina Kirlian, Ion Dumitrescu, Victor Inyushin, Lou Golden, and John Fetzer. Through their writings, actions, or creative assistance, these people are, in part, responsible for the writing of this book.

In a metaphorical sense, the writing and production of this book has been somewhat like a birth. My publishers at Bear and Company, Barbara and Gerry Clow, and their excellent editorial and artistic staffmanaging editor Gail Vivino and designer Angela Wernekehave been like spiritual midwives in helping to deliver this child through its long gestation and birth process. I would like to thank them for their assistance, creative insight, and their willingness to work with my own inner vision of how this book should be. I would especially like thank my wife, Lyn, for her many hours of editing and rewriting many portions of the book with me, without whose assistance and patience this book would not have manifested in such a readable and flowing format.

I would like to express special thanks to Dr. William Tiller and Dr. Gabriel Cousens for taking time out of their busy schedules write the foreword and introduction to this book. Their input in the final stages of writing was especially helpful.

I also wish to acknowledge Steven P. Jobs and his original Mac development team Apple Computer, Inc. for their creative vision in producing Macintosh computer. Without my Macintosh (with which this entire book was created) and its ability to synthesize ideas, pictures, and graphics so intuitively and easily, I would probably have never taken the time to put into writing a project of this scope and size.
