Textbook on Evidence-Based Holistic Mind-Body Medicine: Basic Philosophy & Ethics of Traditional Hippocratic Medicine

Holistic medicine, or quality of life as medicine, as we often call it, is basically a strategy for improving the patients quality of life, through mobilising of inner resources. This can never harm and will almost always benefit the patient''''s well-being and often also help him or her to fight back the disease. The cure is very much the same for all patients: Help to know yourself better and to step into character and be more yourself, and more in tune with the universe. So it can be started right away, also without a specific diagnosis. Is modern, holistic medicine powerful? Oh yes, very much so. Holistic medicine is a truly powerful medicine, in spite of nobody really understanding the deepest structures of consciousness, the connection between mind and body, and the way holistic medicine works. But just because our scientific understanding admittedly still is limited we should not stop doing what we know works. In this book the authors cover the basic principles of philosophy and ethics of traditional Hippocratic medicine from a new and modern scientific approach. See more
