- "Increasingly, evidence shows the most effective addictions prevention and intervention programming for Aboriginal people is grounded in the wisdom of traditional Inuit, Metis, and First Nation teachings about a holistic approach to a healthy life. Aboriginal belief systems have much to teach about a broader approach to recovery because they emphasize: that all aspects of well-being are equally important and interconnected, including the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual; that balanced well-being is throughout the lifespan; and that individual health is an aspect of the health of families, communities, nations, and the environment. In the context of addictive behaviours, an Aboriginal approach begins with the premise that each of these three areas must be addressed in order to sustain improvements over the long term. 'Good Medicine' is what strengthens the mind, body, heart, and spirit. Stories of healing strengthen and inspire those who hear them; these stories are the 'Good Medicine' of the healing movement". -- Intro.

- "Readers of the 'Journal' will be interested in the article by Dr. Jennifer J. Connor of the Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology, University of Toronto entitled 'Thomsonian Medical Books and the Culture of Dissent in Upper Canada' in the 'Canadian Bulletin of Medical History' volume 12: 1995, pp. 289-311. An abstract of Dr. Connor's article states: Adherents to American lay healer Samuel Thomson's system of medicine have been viewed in Canada primarily as antagonists of traditional medicine. Their publishing activities, however, real a wide reform impulse. As this discussion illustrates by considering publishers, printers, editors, and compilers of Thomsonian books in Upper Canada, most had links -- real and temperamental -- to Reform politics and dissenting Protestant beliefs, especially Methodism, Their publication may be viewed as vehicles for social change in a British colony having a strong Tory alliance between church and state".
