It includes such subjects as magnetic healing; faith therapy; mental healing; esoteric physiology and anatomy; the pineal gland; the practices of American Indian medicine priests; the diagnosis of dreams as practiced in Greece by the followers of Asclepius, the god of medicine; the early clinics of Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine; and the mystical healings by the early Christian church.
