Medical heresy--The view of a heretic

Vuk Stambolovic

Social Science & Medicine, 1996, vol. 43, issue 5, 601-604

Abstract: The failures of Modernity and qualities of its heresy have opened space for heresy in medicine. One form of medical heresy is alternative medicine. The basic features of alternative medicine cannot fit into Cartesian norms of orthodox medicine. They can be explained by the principles of a holographic paradigm. Alternative medical narrative, like general heresy, offers hope in a world where hope is withering away.
