From back cover:
“George Ritchie’s gripping account of his near-death experience and subsequent spiritual transformation is the best such book in print. Dr. Ritchie is the finest man I’ve ever known, and I urge everyone who is interested in the extraordinary visions of the dying to read Ordered to Return.”

-Raymond A. Moody, Ph.D., M.D.
author of Life After Life, inspired by
Dr. George Ritchie’s own story

In December, 1943, 20-year-old Army private George Ritchie died of pneumonia. Nine minutes later, he came back profoundly changed. What happened to him while his dead body lay under a sheet would change his life, and that of his family, friends, and patients.

His first book, Return from Tomorrow, has sold over 200,000 copies and has been translated into nine languages. Now, in Ordered to Return, George Ritchie briefly retells the story of that strange experience and then tells what happened later, including the real miracles that he has seen in his years of practice as a physician and psychiatrist.

What’s more, using plain, everyday examples from life, he offers penetrating insights into what is wrong with American life today and how it can be set right.

ALERT: April Issue of Consumer Reports Ridicules Homeopathic Medicine

Dear Ms. Michelle Lynn Doetsch, NCTMB,

We are writing to alert you to an article published in April Consumer Reports that ridicules homeopathic medicine and, by implication, all vibrational remedies.

The Organic Consumers Association is organizing a letter-writing campaign protesting this article.

We urge you to join in this effort at http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/642/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=24667

You can read the original Consumer Reports article here: http://blogs.consumerreports.org/health/2008/03/homeopathic-rem.html

The article cites for its evidence a long discredited research study, described here: http://www.trusthomeopathy.org/csArticles/articles/000000/000060.htm

The Consumer Reports article is premised on the supposition that without a biochemical mechanism of action, it is impossible for any remedy to be effective. The author of this report looks only for  evidence to support this erroneous supposition, and dismisses important scientific evidence that shows otherwise.  The Consumer Reports article violates the very foundation of scientific research by ignoring the reality of the presenting phenomena; this logic is tantamount to declaring:  “If we don’t believe the sun can shine, then we will ignore any evidence premised upon the reality of the shining sun.”

The Flower Essence Society is strongly committed to scientific study of flower essence therapy, through clinical case research, plant study and well-designed comparative studies.  The same bias that rejects homeopathy also rejects flower essence therapy and it is important that members of the Flower Essence Society voice their concern.

The future of flower essence therapy depends on the vital participation of members like you who are willing to take action.  We thank you for your ongoing support.   

Richard Katz and Patricia Kaminski
