Disease created by 'Blocking Yourself' and the cure: The Higher Order Energetic Flowers Of Dr Edward Bach | Stillness in the Storm Source - Aetherforce What would make a doctor at the pinnacle of his career as head of the emergency department at University College Hospital in London walk away from his job? Furthermore, why would this same doctor open a laboratory, private practice, and offer free treatments to the poor of London from 1920-1928? What was he studying?
