Editorial Reviews: The new documentary THE KNOWLEDGE OF HEALING is an illuminating examination of Tibetan medicine, a practice which has developed over two millennia into a modern day successful method of healing that rivals western medical practices. Unlike Western medicine, based on biochemistry, Tibetan medical thinking (which is strongly rooted in Buddhist principles) views the human body as governed by an elaborately organized system of energies flowing through a network of channels. In the 12th century, the Gyüshi (Knowledge of Healing) was created, a text codifying this intricate system. The medications used comprise herbs, roots, minerals, etc. After flourishing for centuries, most Tibetan medical schools were destroyed by the Chinese in the 1950's and 1960's, and many physicians were executed. Speaking from exile, the Dalai Lama argues for the value of Tibetan medicine, while his personal physician Dr. Tenzin Choedrak describes the principles behind it. We follow physicians in India and Siberia treating patients for a variety of ailments from paralysis to heart disease, and meet researchers in Israel and Switzerland to see how western clinical studies are testing the effectiveness of Tibetan medicine. THE KNOWLEDGE OF HEALING is not propaganda for alternative medicine, but a thorough, objective examination of an ancient interpretation of human physiology, and a compelling investigation into an alternative approach to healing.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Cure for Cancer Comment: This film should have been subtitled "A cure for cancer?" - i only wish I had seen this film when my friend was dying from a tumor and from the AMA treatment of it. This is a really powerful film with great science and information in it. I'm buying one for my doctor today. Customer Rating: Summary: The difference between light and absence of light Comment: The amazing part of "The Knowledge of Healing" is when the scientist says that he saw waves of light from the tibetan herbs. This video should be given as a gift for everyone in the health fild, because it shows, scientifically, that the herbs are the way of healing. Jose Joacir dos Santo, O.M.D. Customer Rating: Summary: Empowering Comment: An unexpected, informative, and charming film. These are gifted and inspiring teachers and healers, from a long and profound tradition. And the film does them justice. More Reviews
