This includes such subjects as: the practices of Witch Doctors and the Native American medicine priests; the diagnosis of dreams as practiced in Greece by the followers of Asclepius, god of medicine; early clinics of Hippocrates; mystical healing by the early Christian church; esoteric physiology and anatomy; the pineal gland; magnetic healing; faith therapy; mental healing; and finally, case histories focusing on the psychological factors contributing to illness.
