A tribute to Rudolph Ballentine - holistic market leader in healthcare
My first encounter with Rudolph Ballentine was during my naturopathic training at Clayton College of Natural Health in early 2000.

A tribute to Rudolph Ballentine - holistic market leader in healthcare
My first encounter with Rudolph Ballentine was during my naturopathic training at Clayton College of Natural Health in early 2000. The book was Radical Healing and it changed the way I thought about illness and healing. 600 pages of knowledge and experience opened my eyes to the promise of holistic thinking.
Rudolph Ballentine was trained in psychiatry at Duke University; He later founded and now directs the Center for Holistic Medicine in New York City. He is one of the great contemporary standard-bearers for healing traditions as old as humanity. Ballentine tells us that suppressing symptoms is folly, true healing brings about profound change, and deep healing reorganizes deep internal patterns in the mind and body.
Reading Ballentine, I am reminded that the history of the natural healing arts is filled with men and women of vision and courage, and that Ballentine's radical healing is not new, but centuries old. It's a difficult concept to wrap your head around because in this day and age the word "new" is just a way of saying what always was.
There is something about the use of natural medicine that tends to bring us back into harmony with the rest of nature. The idea of the exercise is to heal by bringing all the parts back into a cohesive package of mind, spirit and body
Ballentine is a true wonder in natural health practice, he has written a number of books, is a doctor, psychiatrist, herbalist, Ayruvedic practitioner, homeopath and teaches all of these techniques. Dr. Ballentine is a model for the alternative practitioner of the future.
Books: Radical Healing, Integrating the World's Great Therapeutic Traditions to Create a New Transformative Medicine (2000) Science of Breath, a Practical Guide (2007) Yoga and Psychotherapy, the Evolution of Consciousness (with Swami Rama) (2007) Rudolph Ballentine is a great modern natural health guru. I value his life and work.
