Open your mind to new possibilities and maybe change the way you approach health treatments – both natural and conventional. That’s the main request of Benton Bramwell, ND and Ridgecrest Herbals’ CEO, W. Matthew Warnock, JD in their new book, Rethinking Medicine: Harmonizing Science and Herbal Tradition.
From the Beginning
The book begins with personal stories of the authors’ winding paths to natural medicine advocacy and commercialization and a shared belief that natural products can do more for our health than Big Pharma has led us to believe. The book is a collection of medical reviews, but when delivered in this bound (or digital) tome, you’re taken on a journey to explore the efficacy and safety of both herbal and conventional medicines.
As the chapters unfold, each section challenges you to ‘rethink’ what you know to be true. For example, should herbal medicines be held to the same rigorous standards of double-blind placebo-controlled trials as a mass pharmaceutical drug. We’ve seen this question play out in the news repeatedly. While consumers devoted to a more natural approach to health might argue that the answer is an easy ‘no,’ government regulators continue to believe otherwise.

Health is All You Have
With the plethora of pharmaceuticals on the market and the skyrocketing price of healthcare, health seems like an unattainable goal for many. But, according to the authors, it doesn’t have to be.
Instead of relying on an outdated “magic bullet” approach to pharmaceuticals or high-dose dietary supplements, Bramwell and Warnock advocate for an integrated system of healthcare that considers both conventional and natural methods. With rigorous analysis, the book argues for a balanced and open-minded approach that emphasizes minimal, yet effective, dosing and the integration of natural remedies.
