A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO HEALING, WELL-BEING & SELF-SUFFICIENCY
Great civilizations have come and gone, and each civilization has had its own unique methods of
achieving physical, emotional and mental health. Yet when one studies any of these ancient healing arts,
it becomes apparent that, like fine arts and culture, healing arts are always a reflection of the general
level of awareness present in that particular civilization. Apart from physical injury, the causes of the
types of diseases that were prevalent in any one civilization, upon careful study, are seen to have their
roots in the prevailing mindsets common to the people of that civilization. Most notably, many of the
ancient physicians, irrespective of the civilization to which they belonged, not only treated the disease,
but also instructed their patients on how to correct the mindset causing the disease. This is true healing;
namely,
hiasis , as opposed to merely treating the symptoms of the disease, and it is vitally important, for
the disease will continue to re-manifest whilst the cause remains intact.
The word hiasis comes from Greek, and it means that when an ailment occurs, and it has been fully
understood, this brings about new knowledge that the person suffering from the ailment did not have
previously. The implications within this are clear. We call forth disease, or more precisely,
dis–ease ,
when a lack of knowledge throws an area in our lives out of balance. The result of this imbalance first
manifests within us as a
dis–ease at a psychological level, but unless this is remedied, it will eventually
also manifest as a physical disease. Consequently, we can see how very important it is to address
not only the symptoms of the disease, but also its cause, for invariably it is this cause that reveals the
knowledge we have been lacking, and which was responsible for making us ill to start with.
No one can deny that the 20
th
century marked huge achievements in the fields of science and practical
medicine. This is primarily due to the vast improvements made in clinical, laboratory and instrumental
diagnostics, to perfecting surgical skill, and to the development of pharmacotherapy (medical drugs).
However, despite this huge advancement in modern-day healing, we cannot ignore the many disastrous
side-effects of allopathic medicine. For example, even though there is obvious therapeutic benefit when
disease is treated by pharmacotherapy, many medicinal and preventative drugs drastically interfere
with the natural functioning of the physical body. Pharmacotherapy has also been proven to damage
other areas in the body, including the nervous system, and all too often such damage is irremediable.
Moreover, despite having full knowledge of the negative side-effects of a great number of the drugs
in use today, many physicians continue to prescribe them. The most alarming fact of all is that the
often severe negative pathological effects of these drugs, that invariably only show up much later in a
patient’s medical history, are largely ignored, by which time the damage is often irreparable.
From the above it is clear that the approach to health and healing taken by prior civilizations was much
more holistic than our modern approach, where patients are merely cured of the physical symptoms of
a disease, whilst leaving the cause unaddressed. Apart from this, the most dire effect of our modern
approach is to encourage us to hand over our power to the physician, whereby we stop taking any
personal responsibility for our own health. The most debilitating consequence of this disempowerment
is that humanity today is completely subject to men and women who, far from having chosen medicine
because of their great love for healing, have entered medicine only because it is a financially lucrative
business. Today’s physicians are also backed and supported by pharmaceutical giants, for whom financial
dividends are likewise much more important than the genuine health of people the world over.
Consequently, allopathic medicine has become an extremely mercenary business, and like all
mercenary businesses today, modern forms of healing also have an inbuilt obsolescence factor.
