"Conventional medicine conveniently dismisses stories as 'anecdotes'-but I recall a wonderful tale about Steven Hawking,the theoretical physicist...Evidently one of his graduate students had just penetrated the notion that all these little subatomical particles didn't have a material presence in the Newtonian billiard-ball sense at all, but were rather transient arrangements of energy...Lost in his disorientation...[he] asked Hawking what held the universe together. Hawking leaned back in his wheelchair and said, 'Stories.'"
-Will Taylor, MD,1997
BTW, Lansky's son made a complete recovery from autism, under the care of an experienced homeopath. Her book tells their story and explains homeopathy in detail.

I LOVE Stephen Hawkings, and homeopathy.
BTW;I posted a dream interpretation to your Riley, horse dream in my comments section. So cool!
sorry I spelled Steven Hawking incorrectly, really
Stephen Hawkings.... I can't even comprehend how intelligent he is, plus his strength with the illness he has, he truly lives his life with courage.
Great quote about the "stories".
Amy Lansky's book ought to be a required read for med students....
There is a great story of Stephen Hawking in Eckhart Tolle's book, Awakening to a New Earth.
Thanks for this bright spot in my day, Michelle!
Steven Hawking is an amazing man, love the quote about stories. So very true. I did not know about Amy Lansky's book, but will be checking it out, thanks for the information.
Terrific story! Love it!
Wonderful anecdote. Thanks for sharing!
I love what was said about story. Check out Dr. Lewis Mehl-Madrona's book "Narrative Medicine." Thanks, Michelle. I've ordered Amy's book.
No, Thank you Ms. Kathi for the recommendation!
