Description

Indigenous naturopathic doctor Nicole Redvers pairs evidence-based research with traditional healing modalities, addressing modern health problems and medical processes.

Modern medical science has finally caught up to what traditional healing systems have known for centuries. Many traditional healing techniques and medicines are often assumed to be archaic, outdated, or unscientific compared to modern Western medicine. Nicole Redvers, a naturopathic physician and member of the Deninu K'ue First Nation, analyzes modern Western medical practices using evidence-informed Indigenous healing practices and traditions from around the world - from sweat lodges and fermented foods to Ayurvedic doshas and meditation.

Organized around various sciences, such as physics, genetics, and microbiology, the audiobook explains the connection between traditional medicine and current research around epigenetics and quantum physics, for example, and includes over 600 citations. Redvers, who has traveled and worked with Indigenous groups around the world, shares the knowledge and teachings of health and wellness that have been passed down through the generations, tying this knowledge with current scientific advances. Knowing that the science backs up the traditional practice allows us to have earlier and more specific interventions that integrate age-old techniques with the advances in modern medicine and technology.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Redvers illuminates the common ground that underlies both traditional and conventional healing practices. Each chapter identifies and analyzes the different cultural assumptions that can keep healing practices separate from one another, while the depth of the author’s knowledge allows us to see the ways in which these different practices can be rooted in the wisdom of the body. A call for the holistic healing that integrates multiple traditions for healing of mind, body, emotion, and spirit." (Robin Wall Kimmerer, PhD, author of Braiding Sweetgrass)

"Drawing on her own unique upbringing and total lived experience - melding wisdom received from her Dene elders of Northern Canada and lessons learned from witnessing illness, poverty, despair, and environmental degradation in various parts of the world - Redvers provides unique insight that only a First Nations person and practicing integrative medicine doctor can bring. The Science of the Sacred is a compass pointing toward a much-needed rebellion in healing. The revolution of the self begins!" (Alan C. Logan, coauthor of Your Brain on Nature)

"Nicole Redvers neatly ties together her cultural Dene roots and stories from other Indigenous cultures in an evidence-informed manner to look at medicine, the health of our planet, and the health of humans as individuals and societies. She poses questions and solutions that deserve exploration and will keep you thinking long after finishing this, her first work." (Paul Saunders, PhD, ND)

Excellent

Very excellent, excellent research. Reader has a soft voice and had to turn up volume significantly. Would still listen again and again, I hope there will be a follow-up in the future as Science improves and grows.

Outstanding

All my ancestors. This is an essential read!! So much healing in just reading this book. It offers rich guidance, time honoured wisdom and suggests a sense of humility as a gift offered to the reader if one respects it. Highly recommended

Pseudoscience where traditional knowledge could have been beautiful

I respect and value learning traditional knowledge and even understand adding spiritual and cultural points of view as they are so interconnected for some, but there are so many claims made or alluded to that are pseudoscience and dangerous to perpetuate. I’m so disappointed. I thought it would be like Braiding Sweetgrass but for medicine and health. So much potential.

Indigenous based review

This book was a required read for a university course. The course is on Indigenous Environmental Health perspectives at the post-secondary 4th year level.. I found some of the text to be problematic though that was just how the language was used compared to when the book was written and my reading it in 2023; still this book is incredibly insightful. Ground-breaking. The way towards decolonization in all respects. And not the opposite. I suggest other readers to mind my own biases and pick this book up because I found it difficult to put down. The very foundation of study of Indigenous growth, health, well-being is basically non-existent. Let’s all figure a way out of that narrative and step into an Indigenous, Inuit, and Metis lens.
