Cancer, etc: Looking Beyond Old Paradigms in Medicine

The latest findings of the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR), now being played up in the media, only manage to remind us of the known preventive strategy — “stay active” and “follow certain rules” for eating. Surprisingly, the five-year-long AICR study makes no mention of the visible increase in pioneering researchers embracing traditional methods from the East and West to unlock our potential for healing ourselves.

Old paradigms of medicine are being increasingly challenged. The new emerging therapies (relying on old wisdom) do not look at our bodies as mere machines with parts that wear down, only to be braced up by drugs or replaced through surgery. Instead, a growing number of pioneering researchers take a holistic view and have begun to practise therapies that heal the “mind, body and spirit”.

Some “new therapy” practitioners have publically claimed that there is a cure for cancer and other “incurable” diseases. Why is it that the powerful/strong/rich “medical/drugs lobby” refuses to investigate the claims of those who propogate the role of consciousness and “thought forms,” as well as therapies such as homoeopathy, acupuncture, colour and light healing, magnetobiology and yoga and put these into practical use?

You may ask me why I am saying all this. Isn’t alternative therapy some kind of vodoo magic or, worst, a form of quackery, as declared by the medical/drug fraternity? I, a former ‘certfied cynical’ journalist, used to think so until I read some years ago “Vibrational Medicine for the 21st century” by Richard Gerber. Gerber who?

Richard Gerber, M.D., received his medical degree from Wayne State University School of Medicine, and devoted his life to furthering research and clinical applications in the pioneering field of energy based medicine. He practiced internal medicine near his home in Livonia, Michigan, and lectured throughout America. Dr. Gerber’s book on Vibrational Medicine is regarded as the “definitive and most in-depth survey of energetic and alternative healing methods in print.”

Briefly, Dr Gerber is not against modern medicine. He is seeking to build bridges between different systems/traditions of medicine to get best healing results and alleviate human suffering. “The marriage of homeopathy and modern medicine signals the verge of a major paradigm shift in the sciences,” writes Dr. Gerber.

“Each therapeutic option offered by the different schools of thought might be used to complement and augment the effectiveness of the others, as opposed to relying on any single technique. This integrated model is one which may eventually be extended towards treating all forms of disease in a multidisciplinary fashion”.

As a reviewer puts it: “Vibrational Medicine for the 21st Century…illuminates the path to a new (though sometimes ancient) frontier of medicine. Dr. Gerber offers scientific evidence from case studies that prove the efficacy of combining modern medicine with alternative medical treatments. This book is a valuable tool to understanding a better and cutting edge means to achieve better health and wellness!”
