TheMa Publishing
The art of medicine has been, and is, constantly evolving. New forms are emerging, established methods considered, some further developed and other discarded.
TheMa Publishing examines recent research and ancient traditions in pursuit of solutions that provide healing with a minimum of negative side effects.

Modern medicine's history contains a number of bad solutions, from bloodletting to lobotomy, which was later replaced by better ones. TheMa Publishing will contribute to today's poor solutions are followed by good ones - soon.
The first steps towards relieving suffering and lives saved is about communication - to spread the knowledge that is obtained through research and analysis, knowledge that is still known only to a few. It's about how and why:
How can minimally successful strategies within Healthcare be improved or discarded? Why does it take such an awful long time, especially within the biggest and the most heavy health sectors - cancer and depressive disorders?
