Does God Approve of Alternative Health Movement? New Book Discusses
Portland (PRWEB) February 29, 2016 -- Alternative health practices such as yoga, Eastern-style meditation, mindfulness, Reiki and acupuncture are wildly popular, touted as having many physical benefits. But what spiritual effects do they have on the people practicing them?
Retired physician and devout Christian Edwin Noyes ponders this question and outlines his extensive research in his book, "Alternative & Mystical Healing Therapies: Are They Medically Sound and Spiritually Safe?"
“The book exposes terrible spiritual dangers posed by the New Age holistic health movement, which combines valid healing remedies with various mystical healing arts,” Noyes said. “I provide valuable insight into the traps of the paranormal from a Christian perspective.”
Noyes’ interest in the topic began in the early 1970s when acupuncture gained popularity. As a physician, Noyes said, many patients asked him for more information about the process. Not knowing much about it at the time, Noyes said he found himself at ‘ground zero’ and began researching holistic health practices, filtering his findings through a strong Christian perspective.
“Today there are many who are more interested in ‘health at any cost’ than ‘God’s will at any price,’" Noyes said.
