This blog has been set up by some of the doctors and a variety of healthcare practitioners associated with Universal Medicine. It will be used to discuss articles pertaining to health along with practitioner and client experiences with respect to the understandings of esoteric healing and whatever else we feel to discuss.
Articles in the news have made claims concerning Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine and esoteric healing that are simply false and misrepresentative. This is not about defending Serge and Universal Medicine but about letting the truth be known. We all work at some level in healthcare and we all care deeply about the health of humanity. Despite all the advances in the understanding of the human body, physiology, illness, disease, nutrition, pharmacology etc and the amazing technology available to us today, we are aware that there remain unanswered questions regarding the health status of humanity that Western Medicine at this time does not appear to have full answers for. The rising levels of obesity and diabetes (diabesity), mental ill health and a cancer rate of 1 in 3 are just a few examples that concern us greatly. Thus, we have been prepared to look outside mainstream medicine, to explore areas that we recognise might be considered unconventional, or a bit weird by some but which we have come to know and experience for ourselves as resulting in health benefits in our own lives. So no, we don’t have ‘evidence-based’ research to support the esoteric healing modalities but we do have the evidence of our own lives and countless others. We know that will not wash in the scientific community but for those who need it we feel confident that the scientific support will come, the evidence will come and in many ways some of it is here already. The fields of psychoneuroimmunology, psychosomatic medicine, epigenetics, neuroscience and neurocardiology are some areas that do have ongoing research that lend support to the esoteric understandings and these may be explored in more detail through this and other blogs The Soulful Doctor. However, that is for a later date.
We endeavour to work and live with a deep level of integrity and we take a stand for what is true and truth. In that vein, some of us contacted the journalists involved in writing these stories, Byron Kaye for the Medical Observer and Heath Aston for the SunHerald with details of our experience of Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine and esoteric healing but the information we provided has not been utilised in articles to date. We would like therefore to state clearly the following regarding the allegations with respect to Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine and esoteric healing based on many years experience of all three:
- Universal Medicine clinics and practitioners do not make nor claim to make medical diagnoses.
- Serge Benhayon is definitely pro-medicine.
- Serge Benhayon is supportive of Doctors and Nurses and other healthcare practitioners.
- The esoteric healing modalities/Universal Medicine Therapies are not claimed to cure cancer or necessarily prevent it, be that breast, ovarian or other cancer, as there is a much bigger picture to consider. The emphasis in esoteric healing is about the quality of our daily living, not just having sessions and there is much more to consider. Esoteric students are aware that having sessions contributes to and forms part of the overall healing (that includes Western medicine) but they are by no means the whole picture.
- Esoteric Breast Massage is ONLY performed by women for women. Serge and his sons Michael and Curtis have NEVER performed Esoteric Breast Massage.
- Serge Benhayon supports the medical approach to the management of breast cancer that includes surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. A number of his clients are patients who have received standard medical and surgical treatment for such conditions including chemotherapy.
- Craniosacral pulse readings are not a test for cancer and are not used to diagnose cancer.
We will endeavour to dispel the myths, lies and mistruths that have been or will be written about esoteric healing and to further expand the understanding of what esoteric healing is in-truth through this and other blogs. We do so in the awareness of the words of Arthur Schopenhauer:
“All truth passes through three stages.
First it is ridiculed.
Second it is violently opposed.
Third it is accepted as being self-evident.”
For us, the truth of the esoteric teachings has become self-evident, although we appreciate that for many people including the medical profession it is at the first stage. However, it is worth noting that this is only if the esoteric aspect is looked at in a cursory or sensationalist way as has recently been witnessed in the one-sided headline grabbing ‘cult’ press of late.
As healthcare workers the most useful insight we have introduced since attending Universal Medicine courses is greater self-responsibility for our lifestyle choices which in turn has resulted in greater health and well-being for us. These are simple changes that most people know make sense but which we often struggle to implement – like eating a healthy diet, going to bed early, not drinking alcohol, in fact taking care of the body in every way. The esoteric understandings helped us to realise why we previously struggled with making these common-sense changes and helped us to implement them in our lives.
We understand that some of these choices may seem extreme, like cutting out dairy, gluten, caffeine and excess sugar, but we do so based not on a belief, or an instruction by Serge, but on how these substances affect and feel in our bodies, as something that can be felt and known. The medical profession and people at large could now say it is self-evident that smoking is bad for you … yet it wasn’t that long ago that doctors were being used in advertisements promoting cigarettes – something that today would be unthinkable. So perhaps it is worth pondering what in 50-100 years will be self-evidently harming to the body, supported by medical research, which today is considered ‘normal’, ‘ok’ or even healthy? Could it be alcohol? Gluten? Dairy? Excess sugar?
Whilst we support the use of medical research and evidence based medicine, we are also aware that for us personally, these understandings do not require research to know the harm they cause in our bodies, for example, bloating with gluten or sinus issues with dairy. One of the core esoteric teachings is that ‘the body is the marker of truth’, in other words, it is through listening to the body and its responses to what we eat or other choices that we can be guided to a more self-caring way of living and we have found through lived experience that this is so.
Medicine and Serge Benhayon 
Everything shared here needs to be researched. This ‘self-evident’ is something that is often ignored. Every body responds differently to say, antibiotics, so in other words, one thing does not work for all.
Everything isn’t just about conventional ‘evidence based’, we need to be open to what is evident for the self and the body.
“we do have the evidence of our own lives” We do not need a PhD or an enormous research budget to know that if we live recklessly, our body will suffer and that if we choose to live with gentleness and self-care our body is better able to support us in all that we ask of it.
Whilst I deeply, deeply appreciate what is on offer in this blog as every article is just a priceless gift to entire humanity, it is worth noting that it came out in response to media’s misrepresentation of Universal Medicine and its teachings. It’s a bit like – did we need liars for us to start telling truth, to counter the lies? I wonder if the whole purpose of there being a lie was about for us to claim truth, to move into the alignment that was designed for us. If so, maybe feeling the part I have been playing in holding back and being on my backfoot so to speak, is a process that is worth appreciating.
“The body is the marker of truth” is a teaching that could transform the way we approach life, we can love doughnuts, we can love coffee, we can love the thrill of our extreme sports – or whatever – but if you feel bloated after the doughnuts, or restless after the coffee or incredibly sick or out of sorts after the extreme sports, then the body has spoken its truth about what is ok for you and what is not. We think we have to make all these decisions day to day but here we actually have the ultimate guide to life.
Surely we can all understand the simplicity of what you have shared as it is very clear that as children we had many foods and ways of being gentle that have been over-ridden by what we have been told to us as being healthy or good for us!
It’s great to have this blog to dispel the lies, myths and mistruths perpetrated by a sensationalist hungry media. If I was a journalist I would be sitting up and taking notice of doctors and other health professionals who are saying there is something to this esoteric way of life, especially as they are living the esoteric way and getting great results for themselves and seeing it in others. The esoteric way of life is a sensible approach too – respect and honour the body, it being the marker of all truth.
I agree Melinda, some journalist out there must be contemplating the sensational news that, the esoteric can’t be a lie. How long can it be a headline?
And another double agreement, ‘taking notice’ of how doctors and other health professionals, are getting results. Why not investigate that?
There is a sensible way of living, and what is it for you?…
This is awesome because it is so simple. Every person has a body and therefore is an expert on how to live, therefore we all have the potential for true and great health when the body is included in your life choices.
Any health care professional who deeply and genuinely cares for humanity and the health and well-being of people would be open to considering all options to add to, support and expand on the marvellous medicine we already have.
The truth will come out in the end, however for myself I know that through making self loving changes to the way I live, what I eat and how I sleep, is already making a huge difference to how I feel and my quality of life.
Thank you for providing this awesome platform for sharing how caring for ourselves in seemingly small ways can have such a dramatic effect on our overall health and wellbeing and yet so many remain vehemently opposed to what Serge Benhayon presents. Interesting that truth is eventually accepted as being self-evident and yet so many are currently obsessed with a narrow based evidence based form of medicine which excludes so much that will eventually become self evident and could be now if only there was more openness to listening to our bodies which are always communicating with us whether we choose to listen or not.
If we simply listen to our bodies we will be well ahead of the game when it comes to our health and certainly well ahead of the scientific research and so called evidence based approach which are well known to be affected by vested interests and other agendas.
I am not medically/scientifically trained and just simply do not understand why it is said there is no evidence when there are so many people through their own experience who testify that Universal Medicine therapies have supported them. It just seems like a play of words and a waste of time trying to negate their benefits on the ground that they are not evidence-based.
Evidence based science is a bit like having ownership over what is truth and what is not, and then dictating that to others. I’m sure some evidence based science has been supportive to humanity and some researchers have had integrity, however there are also corrupt and unscrupulous practices now going on in science that push for ‘evidence’ or results that support profit based agendas. Human beings do not need to be placed into test tubes to tell them how something feels, their body is already communicating that clearly everyday.
This is how bad it gets and why the work of Universal Medicine is fundamentally needed in our times. In a twenty minute conversation someone shared the following; that she’s supporting a family member with ill-mental health; a friend’s son, aged 50 found dead in his bedroom, with suspected stroke or cardiac arrest; his twin brother a couple of years earlier now disabled, following a stroke; another nephew just had a heart attack and someone else diagnosed with cancer for the second time. How many of these individuals had any awareness of their bodies and the responsibility they had to adapt their life style to create health not ill-health?
The evidence is stark and cannot be ignored, Universal Medicine is in the vanguard supporting and inspiring people to have tremendous love and regard for themselves, treat their bodies respectfully and make lifestyle changes. If not now, one day the world will recognise the extra-ordinary work of Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
“As healthcare workers the most useful insight we have introduced since attending Universal Medicine courses is greater self-responsibility for our lifestyle choices which in turn has resulted in greater health and well-being for us. We hear often of the dire financial straits of our National Health service and the solution is always to plough more money into the already ailing system rather than looking at health holistically and include patients’ responsibility for their own health. To do so, would significantly reduce the number of people falling ill in the first place. Greater self-responsibility, equals preventative health.
Anyone who speaks out and goes against the grain is vilified and ridiculed. And yet when we speak to and witness the lives and health of hundreds of people treated by Serge and other esoteric medicine practioners, we hear phenomenal accounts of lives transformed. Many, inspired by Serge Benhayon’s presentations, supported by esoteric medicine modalities now experience first hand the truth of Serge’s words that ‘ Life is Medicine.”
The deep respect and regard I have for my body came from attending Universal Medicine workshops presented by Serge Benhayon. It did not come from visiting my GP or other healthcare practitioners conventional or complementary. My way of life today reflects the new level of responsibility I have for health and well-being, not just for myself, but everyone..
If choices in how we live lead to a greater level of care for ourselves and those around us, this is something to be lauded, and something often missing in our approach to life and medicine; we live life, and when we get ill, we expect medicine to fix us and often do not want to consider that how we live has an impact; if we begin to live in a way that considers this truly then if we get ill we become a more active participant in our own well being, this is what we can learn from Esoteric Medicine, and how it can accompany us in life and in any interactions we may have with Western Medicine.
I agree that there is a significant lag between what our bodies are loudly telling us and what the scientific medical research is ready to admit, so in the meantime the health and wellbeing of humanity continues to decline. Do we wait for medical research to come up with the answers or do we start listening to our own bodies right now? Esoteric medicine simply presents be a master observer of your own body.
Research is beginning to understand that our lifestyle does have an effect on our health, with everything you have beautifully written in this blog it means that evidence of how and what we choose to do does affect our life and health, yet there are plenty of people who don’t want to understand that they have a responsibility for their choices and therefore a responsibility for themselves.
If ‘’the body is the marker of truth’, we already do have in ourselves the most direct and verified research we could need to know what is supportive or harming for us.
I love how so many of the blogs show the necessity for Esoteric and conventional medicine and how both support the body equally when we take responsibilty for our issues.
“As healthcare workers the most useful insight we have introduced since attending Universal Medicine courses is greater self-responsibility for our lifestyle choices which in turn has resulted in greater health and well-being for us.”
This is the case for many. Before becoming a student of Universal Medicine I was putting on weight, feeling uncomfortable in my body and suffering from Asthma. I knew that I needed to change how I was living, but the world around us in no way supports this. There is a constant barrage of advertising, peer pressure and our own emotions that hold us in the downward spiral of ill health. Universal Medicine shows us another way and brings a fresh honest understanding to our physical and mental health. Life becomes not about becoming better, but instead about understanding, honoring and loving the body we live in.
As healthcare workers the most useful insight we have introduced since attending Universal Medicine courses is greater self-responsibility for our lifestyle choices which in turn has resulted in greater health and well-being for us.’ Yes and a great inspiration for those that seek support to know that lifestyle choices can make a big difference.
I love that with the deep care you have for humanity coupled with the desire for truth to be told, you have developed this website to offer both. There are few places that have the best interests of people as their foundation and do not work from an agenda based on recognition or money. I humbly look forward to learning from the wisdom of both conventional and complementary medicine combined within this blog site for it is already walking the steps of the future of medicine ahead of the research of the day.
Thanks to Universal Medicine, I am learning about the energetic side of all things in life and responsibilities/power we have over our own choices – this has helped me in a big way to reconsider conventional medicine as integral part of taking care of myself, as well as seeing doctors as my equal, and not someone up on a pedestal, and start trusting them again.
What a blessing this blog site has been since 2012, and continues to be – in furthering our understanding and appreciation of all that true medicine is, and offering all the opportunity to accept what so many today do accept to be ‘self-evident’, i.e. that for all the sheer amazingness and capability of Allopathic Medicine today, without Esoteric Medicine, we are missing an essential part of the equation in regards to all that true healing is and means for us all.
Thank-you.
I understand that esoteric medicine as presented by Serge Benhayon will not be everyone’s cup of tea when it comes to medicine and healing, however the public does have a right to the accurate facts and the truth so that they are free to make up their minds without being lied to or bias.
“Thus, we have been prepared to look outside mainstream medicine, to explore areas that we recognise might be considered unconventional, or a bit weird by some but which we have come to know and experience for ourselves as resulting in true and lasting health benefits in our own lives.”
This stands out to me tonight on re reading this article, as it exudes true dedication to the health of humanity. To look outside what is deemed normal and to have the willingness to explore and experience it for self, to then with the deep knowing of the healing you yourself have lived, bring this clearly to others. Not necessarily with words, but with the unmistakeable vitality and health that is simply shining from your body.
It is interesting that the medical profession is now aware that sugar is one of the most harmful and addictive substances to the human body. When conventional medicine and esoteric medicine work together in harmony it is universal medicine.
A commitment to true health that expresses the truth of the human psyche. We all know what is need to care for ourselves deeply, but do we honour and live by it? Why we don’t is the plague of humanity. Illness is a direct result of this plague.
“The body is the marker of all truth”… is the best foundation for establishing what it is we can and can’t eat, can and can’t do and the ways we can and can’t be. If our starting point is harmonious, loving and aware… our most expansive and natural state, then anything that strays or blocks us from it… is therefore not ‘good medicine’.
Making lifestyle choices is not so easy to be consistent with and hold from my experience. In the past before my esoteric lifestyle change I struggled and always fell back into my self-abusive ways. Having an understanding of the esoteric wisdom and knowing why we make certain choices that harm ourselves and therefore others is not in mainstream medicine. Self-responsibility is and was not taught to me by any doctor or healthcare practitioner I visited unless they were esoteric.
What I love about Esoteric Medicine is it goes to the root. Why wait for the evidence-based medical science and live in the past…? The future is how much we choose to be aware of and the body is the support to be in tune to this awareness. I’m in deep appreciation and awe what is available to us now through the vehicle of Universal Medicine. We have it all .. and like all before me, and all after me depending on how responsible you choose to be, will determine your own unfolding back to the truth we all cannot escape just delay.
Thank you for this website ‘dispelling the myths, lies and mistruths that have been or will be written about esoteric healing and to further expand the understanding of what esoteric healing is in-truth through this and other blogs.’ and for your dedication to truth for humanity. The esoteric understandings such as eating a healthy diet and taking care of what we eat, going to bed early, not having alcohol or any intoxicants are indeed common sense understanding that enable us to take a deeper level of love and care for ourselves and our body. It doesn’t take a ‘genius’ to know this just self love for the individual to live it and realise true health lies within our very own hands, it is just a matter of choice. And thank you for exposing the false allegations that have been made about Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine letting instead the truth be known. Media have a lot to answer for.
This is a brilliant platform through which to openly discuss the health of humanity. Our bodies are the petri dish and we are the scientists. We need only observe and discuss what it is we see and feel. From such discussion, the parameters of medicine can be redefined so that they begin to encompass the full picture of what is truly going on within us all.
Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine are pro-medicine. I worked in complementary therapies prior to studying with Universal Medicine an I have to say that there was always an undercurrent of not being pro medicine. In fact it was part of my ‘uniform’ to not go the doctors and not have regular preventative tests and scans. Now I know this is not the case for all complementary therapists. But I did know quite a number. This has changed markedly for me. I still see a naturopath, but I absolutely see my Dr every year for a check up and not only that I love seeing her. I also see Esoteric Practitioners too; from my perspective we all work beautifully together in harmony.
It is not rocket science or ‘weird’ to connect our lifestyle and listening and responding to how our body feels to improving our overall health and feeling of well-being. I find it interesting that since Universal Medicine has been presenting and esoteric students have been choosing to take greater responsibility for their own health and well-being that almost every newspaper article or news item on health talks about the benefits of lifestyle choices in relation to health.
The rise in illness and disease is telling us that there is something wrong with the way we are living. There are now hundreds if not thousands of students of Universal Medicine who by choice and inspiration have changed the way they are living and in so doing are going against this tide. What more evidence do we need than cause and effect. It’s very simple.
“All truth passes through three stages.
First it is ridiculed.
Second it is violently opposed.
Third it is accepted as being self-evident.”
This is exactly what happened to the British Professor who in the 1970’s presented his extensive research on the damaged sugar has on the body with his book “Pure, White and Deadly” He was ridiculed out of a career as he posed a threat to the giant corn syrup industry in the US. The ferociousness of the ridicule protects those who have the most to profit from peoples’ disregard. It seems that taking care of our selves poses a great threat to those in the big business of catering to our indulgences.
This is a great blog site to have as it is interesting to hear from both patients and doctors the impact that truly caring for and listening to our own bodies has.
When I was a child we had a family GP we all loved dearly who always chained smoked as he was consulting; often lighting the next one before the one in the ashtray was out. I recall having to be with my younger sibling while she was receiving stitches, as my mother didn’t have the stomach for such things, watching the ash building up on his cigarette perched in the corner of his mouth wondering if it was going to fall into the wound. This lovely man died of lung cancer. Smoking then was considered the norm as you say. Those who dared question it were possibly ridiculed also. Today it seems unbelievable that this was ever considered something that could benefit your health as it was often advertised to do in the 1940’s and 50’s with ‘ the Doctors recommends’ advertisements in newspapers and magazines.
Absolutely brilliant blog, ‘the body is the marker of truth’. I wanted to highlight this because it is so true, I have been hugely inspired to connect to how my body feels with regards to food, health, relationship and work. To trust and honour what I feel has been deeply empowering and this quote above supports and inspires me continuously. The esoteric understanding has helped me immensely to live with more vitality, clarity, connection, and joy. I have now embraced a way of life that assists me to take responsibility for my health and wellbeing, whereas I was irresponsible in this aspect of life in the past. I have relinquished many ill patterns and behaviours with ease since embracing the esoteric teachings and this was all due to my own choices with the support of using my own body as a marker of truth.
Thank you for offering your perspectives as health professionals who have also chosen to embrace an esoteric way of life. It is clear that Western Medicine, despite the many amazing advancements in recent decades, does not have the answer to our current explosion of lifestyle related diseases and that anything that supports humanity to make changes that promote greater wellbeing would benefit us all as our health services buckle under the strain of ever increasing demands. Thank you for speaking up and sharing your experiences and offering an alternative both in your writings and the reflections of each of you in your workplaces.
I relish this sentence as it says something everyone deserves to know about Esoteric Medicine. ‘The esoteric understandings helped us to realize why we previously struggled with making these common-sense changes and helped us to implement them in our lives.’ If we take dieting and weight loss as an example, most people have a basic idea of what to cut down on but simply struggle to stick to eating like this. Likewise, cigarette smokers these days are well informed of health risks, we all know exercise has health benefits and that too many late nights are not good for our health – we might plead ignorance but it would be more honest to say we do have an idea what the healthier choices are. So, if there is something that works, something that gets us over the biggest hurdle when it comes to healing and making healthier choices then everyone deserves to know about it and that is what makes this very website something to share and treasure.
It is absolutely true that the changes I have made to my diet are a result of how what I eat and drink has affected my body and this is the greatest evidence base that can be connected with each day. What a great and humbling photo of the doctor holding up a packet of cigarettes. A true scientist will always be open to change and never defensive of current research or pieced together facts as the whole truth.
“As healthcare workers the most useful insight we have introduced since attending Universal Medicine courses is greater self-responsibility for our lifestyle choices which in turn has resulted in greater health and well-being for us.” This is amazing and so important because if our healthcare workers are not taking care of themselves and understand what this means how are they going to be able to offer this to their patients and clients.
It is great to hear the voice of medical practitioners who are also familiar with the principles expressed by Serge Benhayon through Universal Medicine, and to get the full picture of how this fits into current practice to support true healing. I too can say that the esoteric understandings helped me to realise why I previously struggled with making these common-sense changes and helped me to implement them in my life. For example, for years it had been suggested to me that I was wheat and dairy intolerant. I did try removing them from my diet on occasions to test this out, but it was like taking on a diet, and in the energy of missing out and being different. When I removed these items from diet gradually and with the curiosity to see how it felt, it was not hard at all. I stopped looking for gluten and dairy free substitutes and focussed instead on eating fresh real foods, nothing pre-prepared and after the initial rearranging my life to allow space to shop and prepare my food, it was ridiculously easy. My body is now able to tell me when I make an ill-choice, whereas before it was in a constant state of discomfort and it was hard to know what to choose from that space, so I’d go for comfort.
I like the fact that as doctors you are able to express the benefits of Universal Medicine’s teachings on lifestyle from your own lived experience – tried, tested and adopted as a way of life. This is the best form of evidence – those who are their own living experiment who also happen to have professional credibility in the field, simultaneously practising what they preach and reflecting to any who care to look at the vitality this brings. Using our bodies as chemistry labs in the long term is not the way, but in the short term it’s a great means of gathering our own evidence on what truly works for our body and what does not.
The esoteric brings into the picture the reasons why and the energy behind the choices to not accept the very obviousnesses in life such as healthy lifestyle choices, this is a huge healing in itself. What I love about this blog site is that there is a feeling of a wholeness in the picture of health and well-being as apposed to the great but still a fragmented part that conventional medicine brings. The spiritual stuff claims to bring the other part as there is a part of us that knows that healing is far more than the physical body but even then it fails to deliver if not make matters far worse. I enjoy reading the accounts of where conventional and the esoteric have married and what results have come about, events that could be considered miracles are becoming the norm when the two come together to support a person to heal.
Thank you to the health professionals who have written this blog. As someone who feels their health and well being has improved since attending Universal Medicine, I can only say that what Universal Medicine offers is something that mainstream medicine should be welcoming with open arms as it has the capacity to complement their work. The outcomes are very significant in terms of health for the individual, reduction in demand for already over burdened health systems and a way of life that extends out to every part of a cohesively functioning society.
This example of a doctor advertising smoking is a very powerful reminder that if we leave things purely up to medical know how and advice and ignore the wisdom of our bodies, there will always be new standards and practices offered which will later prove to be harming. The Esoteric is simply about learning how to trust and read the signals coming from our bodies that offer a way to live in harmony with them. For most, after a clearing of the momentum of disregard of our past, this means consistently living with amazing vitality, wellbeing and joyfulness. It is great to have this website to explore the ways we can take responsibility and begin to lessen the burden on conventional medicine and return to a way of life where the norm begins to shift back to a true quality of wellbeing, beyond not being sick.
It is so great to have this blog site sharing the experiences of healthcare professionals who are seeing the healing that can be available when conventional medicine is working alongside Universal Medicine. As these articles prove many times over it will be clearly seen that this is the way forward for true healing for humanity.
Beautiful comment Alison. The 3 stages truth passes through certainly apply to Esoteric Medicine. I, for one, won’t wait for conventional medicine to catch up with the evidence delivered by my body. The communication offered by my body asks me to deepen my awareness on how my body feels and this in turn supports me to make beneficial choices for my body, my vitality and overall wellbeing.
Thank you all who contributed to this blog as it is so important that health care professionals who are associated with Universal Medicine express the truth about how amazingly effective the teachings of Serge Benhayon are.
Awesome foundation on which to build an amazing site that reflects the experiences of the many medical and health practitioners who today are choosing to look more closely at the choices they are making in their day to day life and the impact this is having on their health. It is amazing to feel how beautifully the esoteric modalities marry with western medicine and it is these blogs that lay the foundation for what I feel will be the way we approach health care into the future.
This is a great blog for exploding a lot of untruths about Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon’s teaching. We all need to be more responsible for what we put into our bodies and the effect that these foods and substances such as alcohol and drugs have on us. We are all encouraged to listen to our bodies and see our own General Medical Practitioner in the event of any illness, I know that I feel so much better for not having dairy and gluten in my diet.
Indeed, evidence based practice is important, however if there is something that hasn’t become a standardised measure measurement, do we wait for science to prove it?
Or do we respect that the confirmation the body tells us that we are living much more healthier and vital lives?
The body is the only impartial expert, unlike advertising, health organisation and various experts, everyone now days either seems to have an agenda or vested interest, or is promoting information that eventually changes. We’ve seen low fat diets spruiked for ages, now controversial. Don’t eat eggs, eat eggs, carbs are healthy/not healthy, dietary pyramids changing etc, and all along we’ve had a wonderful expert gently guiding us – our own body. I’ve found my life simplified since working with Universal Medicine because they have truly supported me to connect to and listen to my body. We have more experts and medical advancements than ever before, but more illness and disease. For me what’s missing is truly listening to the body and honouring it.
When it comes to nutrition, Universal Medicine has restored trust in my body. Today my diet is far more in tune and suited to me than when I used to read numerous books on the subject. Removing gluten from my diet has really helped me to become more sensitive and honest about how foods feel in my body and to ascertain what foods work for me and which do not. I don’t always get it right and might eat a few foods that no longer suit me, but overall I feel far lighter fumbling along and discovering my diet than I did when I was trying to follow a diet from a book.
I have really enjoyed reading this medical blog. There is something about medicine which I just love. I believe this begins with the fact that at some stage it all comes down to our bodies, where it becomes black and white. Universal Medicine when studied will show how needed it truly is: The missing complementary piece. Universal Medicine presents the importance of the basics of life, which we have not been taught. Arthur Schopenhauer has summed it up well…But why do we need to wait so long to accept something as being valuable, when if studied from the start correctly it could be more clearly decided then? “What in 50 years will be self evidently harming to the body, supported by medical research, which today is considered ‘normal’, ‘ok’ or even healthy?” Something wisely to consider. The medical industry has already come a great way, let’s keep going 🙂
Thank-you for this blog site, it gives us the opportunity to write about how the quality of our lives, our health and vitality has changed by listening to and having regard for the way we choose to live. Universal Medicine has brought an awareness to the importance of taking responsibility for the way in which we choose to live, and that this also includes the importance of having regular medical check-ups from the medical profession.
What I love about this blog is that it marries conventional medicine and esoteric medicine together in such a seamless, common sense way. In the past I viewed illness and disease as something that has come out of nowhere to suddenly strike me down every once in a while without any belief that I had any say or input. However with what Universal Medicine has presented completely blows those mind sets out of the water and makes sense. Right down to the basics of: stay up late = feel tired. Go to bed early = not tired. Drink alcohol = feel sick/hangover/regrets/etc. Don’t drink = no bad results bodily or socially. I now no longer view myself as the helpless victim but know that my choices result in how I feel and ultimately how my health is. I feel stronger being in the drivers seat than in the back seat of my health.
I am a living proof of the extent to which, if applied, the esoteric teachings lead to tremendous improvements in our overall wellbeing. I do not need ‘scientific proof’ of what it is so evident in me. I come from the world of science, a world that goes by trends. Butter was bad for you, so margarine became the queen until it got discovered that is far worse than butter and we went back to square 1. Examples of wrong trends, manipulated research (Ancel Keys is a clear case), wrongly designed research etc. abound. This is particularly problematic when this research leads to a new paradigm that gets accepted by the scientific community. When this happens, it prevails for a long time until the evidence against it is so overwhelming that it cannot stand as such anymore. In the meantime, what is the real value of the statements in regard to the esoteric based on such a paradigm?
This blog sets out clearly lots of information for us all to consider. As many students of Universal Medicine have found – how we live each day has a huge impact on our health. It seems to me that many people expect that the medical profession has all the answers and will take away their symptoms if they are unwell. This simply isn’t possible in every case. People then are forced to adjust their lives to live on with the symptoms but still tend to see everything that has happened to them as just bad luck or genetics etc rather than something connected to their lifestyle choices. What Universal Medicine offers is the opportunity to understand that we do contribute greatly to our overall health through how we live and when combined with traditional medicine, the impact is enormously powerful.
Thank heavens for this blog site. I myself have chosen to make more self loving choices simply because I was living a life that felt empty and was full of anger, frustration and sadness as well as the fact I physically felt like crap. Upon attending workshops by Serge Benhayon I became aware that there is another way. I then went home and made choices based on how I felt discovering what supported me and what didn’t. I listened to my body who I found to be my true teacher. I know I am not alone as many, many others have changed their lives to live more closely to their true nature. To me, nothing is unusual about this as it makes perfect sense to me to make choices based on love.
I love the quote you have included in this blog. At first the idea of giving up certain things like gluten or coffee may seem ludicrous, then it can feel uncomfortable or irritating (how will I survive without my coffee and almond croissant on Sunday mornings?) But once accepted, it is so obvious that that is what our body has been asking for all along. The alarming rates of (often preventable) illness and disease are proof that the way we are living is not working, no matter how great the advances in medicine and technology are. Why wait for scientific proof when we run our own experiment with our own body?
I love the clarity in this piece of writing. Our knowledge of the body and how it works is evolving and as time goes on and more people can feel the truth of what their bodies are communicating to them, the marriage of Esoteric Medicine and conventional medicine will form an obvious partnership. In the meantime I am taking responsibility for my own wellbeing and how I live on a daily basis which can be felt by those around me.
Universal Medicine is the missing link to conventional medicine. Through Universal Medicine I have found that how we live on a daily basis has a direct effect on our health and wellbeing, and changes our understanding of true health and vitality.
Well said Alison – Universal Medicine is the missing link and a kind of bridge, a bridge to my real me, to other people and to humanity.
This is a great blog and is needed to set the record straight from the bad press. The quote from Schopenhauer is very appropriate here. And I am encouraged that the mentioned fields of of psychoneuroimmunology, psychosomatic medicine, epigenetics, neuroscience and neurocardiology will provide the scientific evidence that will back up the anecdotal evidence in support of Esoteric Medicine.
Thank you for writing this article and to those who continue to contribute to this blog,
I am already practising the teachings of Universal Medicine and find them incredibly beneficial, but reading these articles continues to confirm and develop my understanding. I am very pleased to know that this source of information and inspiration is available for all people who seek to understand the true source and meaning of health and healing.
Based on the general health and wellbeing of us who follow the teachings of Universal Medicine we must be doing something right. Thanks to all who wrote the blog
It is amazing that these journalists can get so much wrong in their articles! I agree, although as yet there may not be any evidence that could pass the scrutiny of scientific evidence, there is mountains of it in the way I and other people have changed and now live because of the marriage of western and Universal Medicine in their lives.
We live in a society that seems to want everything proved scientifically but when you speak to a person who has radically changed their experience of life by changing the choices that they make then they are the living proof. I am one of a growing number of people who is walking around in a body that reflects the truth with greater accuracy than results gained from laboratory tests.
I have seen countless examples both in real life and in photos of how different, how much more vital, loving and joyful the students of Universal Medicine look and are, within themselves and within their lives after having embraced and lived the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom presented by Serge Benhayon and other practitioners. The students are the biggest body of evidence as we are all finding out through their blogs on this site and various other Universal Medicine student initiative sites.
I am not a doctor, but I am a person who has made major differences in my health since choosing to live in connection with my body and eliminating foods and drinks that I can feel harm my body. Through living this way I am now living life without asthma. From the age of 21 through to 40, asthma was a major consideration I had to take each day, could I walk, could I mow, remembering to always have my ventolin present. Now today I have been free of asthma and the medication that comes with it for almost 7 years. Achieved by listening to my body and responding to what I feel.
That feels so beautiful to read, clear, consise and no ‘trying to convince’! A very big contrast to the emotional debate about immunizations I just witnessed/felt on Facebook…yuk.
We once thought that the earth was flat and cigarettes were promoted by the medical profession as a calming substance. It is not too far a leap to expect that current beliefs about health may in the future be proved wrong or right. But why wait for the future? We are seeing it right now, with an esoteric approach and a personal responsibility combined with conventional medical treatment, many people are reversing the trends of ill health.
The lies and deceit of this world is felt by everyone, it is then up to each individual to either be corrupted by the lies or to see through them. If lies and propaganda are allowed to flourish then all of us suffer. Today it is easy to see that society as a whole is not healthy; mental health, diabetes, heart disease, cancer are all still on the rise! What if simply connecting to our eternal divine love is the simple answer to all our woes? Then would we not find the teachings of Serge Benhayon to be the revelation the world has been waiting for! Especially seeing the students of the Livingness are reversing all trends towards ill health. By feeling and clearly seeing what Ageless Wisdom Teachings brings to us all equally, then with no jealousy or comparison, the need to be a loveless individual who lies for some sort of recognition is lost because of the harmony that we all truly desire.
Thank you for the blog site, what it offers humanity is priceless.
Universal Medicine and Conventional medicine together, I say yes! The wisdom of listening to my body in conjunction with medical treatment has been a major breakthrough and revelation for me. It has supported me to a more truly healthy body and an enriched way of living.
It is very beautiful, that this blog came to life. Thanks to all throughout time who stood up for truth, whenever it was bastardized. Thanks to us students of Universal Medicine, who do so in our time.
This is an important statement that I support. Conventional medicine is much needed, and very very important in our health and well-being, BUT, it does leave gaps, and has not yet provided ongoing and sustained relief for many ill health conditions. This is where esoteric medicine can support. Through the teachings and observations of our own bodies, we come to learn a tremendous amount about what is good for us and what harms us, be that what we eat, how we behave, when we sleep or how we are with other people. There are many more aspects to health, such as how we react to people and situations, our emotional or psychological well-being and of course energy, that are important considerations in an overall understanding of health, illness and disease. Adding these to our existing or conventional knowledge of medicine will allow for important advances that will surely support our society in addressing the ill health that is running out of control.
What Universal Medicine presents makes sense and to me that is what matters most. As I allow myself to trust what feels right for me and my body and honour that, then my life has become amazingly beautiful and wonderful. All the simple things that I would do in the past have become that much richer and deeper in meaning – a simple walk can allow me to feel how lovingly my body is flowing, or if that is not the case then I can choose to re-connect to my body in each step of the way and can bring back that flow. Why would I need anything outside of myself when this is all within. Yes, sometimes I fall short of this point but I now know through markers in my body that I can return if I so choose.
I’ve found Universal Medicine to be the perfect complement to conventional medicine; helping me take more responsibility for my health in my day to day life and choices. Being more aware of my body is very empowering, and a simple way knowing what supports it and what does not.
It has been enlightening and inspiring reading these blogs over the past few years and noting the vast improvement in health and lifestyles of those who contribute. There are more and more men and women ‘walking the talk’ and becoming an ever increasing body of evidence that cannot be denied.
It’s interesting that people can put up such a great fuss about a group of people who’ve been inspired to make healthy choices. Instead of everybody celebrating this fact and asking how did you do it. Some people have chosen to point the finger and suggest that it must be a cult, for so many people having made changes. Those who are ready to see the truth will easily see what is really going on here.
So true Danielle. My response to people who have big doubts about Universal Medicine would be, feel your body – only our body knows what is true or not.
I love that mainstream medical professionals are prepared to stand up & say that the Esoteric is not yet scientifically proven, but that it can’t be denied, nevertheless; that self-evident truth is enough until science catches up.
What Universal Medicine offers is a deeper understanding of the body, in a way that makes complete sense. It may not have the scientific proof as yet, but for me the proof is there in the student body, that are not just looking and living well, they also have an amazing vitality and joy for life.
I have been to a lot of courses and workshops on health from various perspectives and never anywhere has the question been raised in class…What is truly going on? Which is very important considering that what we class as true health and wellbeing has deteriorated to mean disease management or even “I don’t have cancer so I must be OK”. I have learned through attending Universal Medicine courses and workshops how important this question is as it gets us in the moment that we ask, to stop and consider deeply what we are asking. It’s a question that invites us to feel from our own experiences that we may often override in favour of the available evidence. I love it as it opens us up to the experiences of others and the possibility that there is more than what we think we know.
‘The body is the marker of truth’ couldn’t be more true for me. Through listening to my body and the signs and symptoms it was showing me, I have changed my diet to now support me to live each day with more vitality and with far less illness. I fully embrace conventional medicine. I have annual check ups, take medication if needed, and am up to date with all my vaccinations. I also fully embrace the Universal Medicine Modalities. Through these I have been able to increase my daily vitality, wake up feeling fully rested, reduce the stress and anxiousness in my life and enjoy all the relationships in my life. This is something that conventional medicine never brought to me. I know that the marriage of both of these in my life supports me to live a healthy, full and vital life.
With the rise in depression and anxiety issues in our world one would think that anything that helps people to reduce stress and anxiety in their lives would be embraced and shouted about from the roof tops. I personally now find myself living my life with much more steadiness, where once upon a time, I lived every day in a constant feeling of anxiety. Through dealing with some physical imbalances in my body and living the principles that Universal Medicine present, I have been able to greatly lessen anxiety and to live with a quiet solid confidence, is it possible that I and many others are living examples of the medicine of the future?
A healthy view on the truth that it shouldn’t take long-drawn-out scientifically researched study to convince us of what we, our individual bodies, already know for ourselves, if we choose to acknowledge. Too much emphasis is put on the credibility of research to ‘prove’ a lived reality when the reality already tells it all. The esoteric student body is itself living proof that it is self-care and responsibility for how we live, sleep, eat, breathe and move that make the difference to our state of wellbeing. Love the Schopenhauer quote. We are most definitely experiencing Phase 1.
The fact that these “news” reporters had no interest in including what the people who really know Serge have to say is evidence of a biased report.
How can people have the remotest chance to glean truth from a one sided story; the readers simply are not given enough info. to make up their own minds.
I’d like to add that the papers are going with the BIG story (using the sensational word “cult”) they can get from a couple of disgruntled individuals and NOT the story of self empowerment that the many hundreds of Uni. Med. students can back up with their, now, much more harmonious and self empowered lives.
That we as a society need to increase our levels of self-care and self-responsibility is out of question and well promoted by the NHS – it is self-evident. What is not self-evident or honestly admitted is the level of resistance we have to truly take the necessary steps to lovingly support our health and wellbeing. Could it be that resistance, ridicule and opposition to the Esoteric in truth goes much deeper than it appears on the surface with all the seemingly logical arguments of evidence based science? Maybe it is the bitter pill we don´t want to swallow when facing the loveless choices we have made in the past and how much we have sold out to the ideals and beliefs that excuse us from being fully responsible for our own making.
I agree Alex. Everyone knows that if they take personal responsibility for self-care they will feel the benefits – surely this is evidence based? The resistance is not wanting to accept responsibility for ourselves and the choices we have made so hide behind ‘Prove it scientifically before I will believe it’ and this is a means of avoiding or delaying taking care of ourselves until we are shocked into it by a serious illness.
“The rising levels of obesity and diabetes (diabesity), mental ill health and a cancer rate of 1 in 3 are just a few examples that concern us greatly.” The RISING levels of ill health in the world concern me as well and it has become increasingly obvious that we need to ask the question ‘Why?” Our bodies are beautiful and have a wonderful way of providing what we require to be healthy. The body does this for as long as it can even when we abuse it and take it for granted. The most micro, tiny, activities occur in our bodies to balance our, PH, blood levels, hormones, oxygen….the list goes on, but to really flourish and to not lead down the road of ill health and disease the body needs to be supported.
I agree who is asking the question, ‘Why’?
Recently in the UK there has been much attention given to the health service’s ability, or lack of it, to respond to patients, league tables of waiting times in A & E etc, interviews galore, one doctor explained that in his practice there was a 100% increase in the number of visits a patients makes in a year
….and still no-one asked ‘Why’ Wonder what are we afraid of discovering?
Not only has Esoteric Medicine helped me get more honest about my choices and support me in finding the courage to re-empower myself by FEELing for myself what my choices do to my body and my life but it has helped me re-kindle the SELF LOVE to “say No” to things that hurt me and this has made all the difference in putting my life back on track, consistently and with no sense of sacrifice at all.
Without this element of self care and self love I spent 30 years using discipline (which always failed very quickly) to try to stop making choices that felt wrong and hurt me.
Yes, and it’s not rocket science, is it? Living in a quality which is more caring and nurturing of yourself in your daily life is bound to improve your chances of not suffering from cancer and other illnesses. Makes sense, no? What is so wacky about that?
As for the doctors and cigarettes example, could this be telling us that conventional medicine does perhaps not yet have all the answers, nor all the right answers, and that there is more – far more – which it is still to uncover? Could it be that in 50-100 years time, the suggestion that a glass of wine a day is ‘ok’ and perfectly healthy will be laughed at as an indication of how ignorant conventional medicine used to be?
Let us not ridicule just because something does not yet fall within the bounds of conventional medicine; but let us rather, with an open mind, consider these possibilities jurequitably.
An absolutely stellar intro into what this site and Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon are about. The fact that you have used the Lucky Stripe image reminds us of where we were and where we are now with smoking. We can spend years defending something as true only to recognise later on that what we were defending was in fact harming us. I welcome the day when more of what we accept as ‘normal’ is exposed as harming. Until then we have a great catalogue of anecdotal evidence on this blog site and many others that have been inspired by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine and the teaching that ‘The body is the marker of all truth’ by people who are choosing to question and put aside how they are told to live. People who have instead started to listen to their own body and take seriously how their choices affect their body and well-being.
While this site has been set up to present the truth about Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon I feel it is also a great reference library for the future where people can read personal experiences and be able to relate it to what is going on with their body and begin the healing process.
There is so much power in collaboration and that’s what is setting these blog sites on fire. The opportunity to read and understand more from the medical practitioners point of view is so valuable as individuals we are becoming more aware of our bodies and the illness and disease which is growing, but also as we become more discerning over practices used. Just referencing that advert in the article, I wonder what happened to the people that thought the Doctors might be disillusioned at that time….it’s all about reclaiming what we know is true from how we feel.
I would say to anyone who chooses to ridicule Universal Medicine and complementary health in general, ‘well your mind and your so called evidenced based research has not come up with the answer and it is obvious that our current medical system can’t keep up and our current way of living is not working for the human body’. You don’t need to do any research on that. You only need to look around you at your fellow human beings at work and home and elsewhere to see that.
A great article. What Serge Benhayon presents is common sense that we innately know and seem to have lost connection with over the years.
All the evidence we need is in our bodies, it can tell us, if we listen to it, what it needs and what will harm it. Medical science is an amazing asset but equally so is the Human Being and its innate intelligence.
This is a life changing statement for many and I question why is it not first introduced in primary school!
In the last 2 years (since this article was written) there has been much more publicity about the damaging effects of, for example, gluten and dairy and also emphasis on self-care being at the heart of good health and the way forward for increasing society’s wellbeing. Serge Benhayon has been presenting this information and much more about living life in a way that takes responsibility for one’s own health and recognises the impact of one’s choices on everyone else for the last 15 years. How many more years of increasing rates of illness and disease does society have to endure before these truths are seen as self-evident?
I agree Helen, this apathy we have, of leaving it to someone else to ‘fix us’, has gone on long enough now. As you say, there is so much more publicity on the benefits of self-care and, with health systems on the verge of bankruptcy, there is an answer that will go a long way to improving that situation. So, the question is, why isn’t this front page news? Why isn’t this shouted from the rooftops? Could it be that the people in authority are not yet ready to take that much responsibility for themselves, let alone others?
Looking back at history, there are so many things we can laugh at because they were so obviously not good for our health, things that were in fashion like tight corsets, shoes that are too high, or like you say, smoking. But what are we doing today that is trendy and in fashion that we do just because celebrities do, or because it’s the next diet fad and craze. Listening to our own body and making choices from that makes so much sense, we are all different and need different things at different times. We can’t keep looking outside ourselves at someone else for answers, we have to learn to trust ourselves a little more, or even just ask ourselves -does that really work for me? Serge Benhayon has really inspired me to do this, and the many esoteric practitioners and students have helped me to bring this into my daily life, which has been great for me in looking after my own health.
There is much on this site that could assist modern medicine and one day I feel sure it will. I am amazed at how we can be blind followers of what science is saying today, always choosing to forget that only a few years ago it was saying something different that has now been shown to be wrong.
So very true, Doug. It is so easily forgotten where we have come from, thus we continue to make the same mistakes. It is writings like those found on this blog and others like it which are helping us to see where we have come from and where we can be going if we choose.
Great point Doug, it is a common thing we humans do in that we tend to discount the truth of what our bodies are telling us for the so called ‘truth’ of the day. It was also in the 50’s I think that many women took the general advice of doctors to have regular Bex powders for stress and headaches – resulting in many women with kidney failure or dysfunction. It is often the simple truths that are ignored and criticised for a long time before being considered and then accepted. Such as the fundamental principle of Serge Benhayon’s presenting on true health and well-being is that the body is ‘the marker of all truth’. Perhaps this is so hard for people to understand because that would mean they would have to take more responsibility for their choices that lead to most illnesses and diseases and a shift in the way medical professionals look at and manage their patients with these diseases.
Thank you what a awesome site this is, it is amazing to read articles that to dispel the myths, lies and mistruths that have been written about esoteric healing. When Western Medicine and Esoteric medicine go hand in hand working together the outcome is that of harmony, truth. It is a breath of fresh air to read the many different accounts of the changes made by bringing a level of truth and responsibility that was not there before.
I agree Jane this site is invaluable in the way it combines not only eastern and western medicine but also the esoteric teachings. Knowing the body is the marker of all truth is a fundamental part of getting to grips with all illness and disease and this site has many inspiring true life experiences to support this.
Well said Jane, this blog site plays such an important role in sharing all these beautiful blogs which show us there is another way to live.
Thank you Tim and Jane, I agree the self-evident nature of what Serge Benhayon presents should be front page news now! Let’s not wait until illness and disease go through the roof, or suicide and mental illness are at epidemic proportions, let’s accept the truth.

I love that quote by Arthur Schopenhauer, it sums up most of the world perfectly!!
As a health professional I find it interesting that the common catch cry is everything has to be ‘evidenced based’. Yet, as noted above, ‘evidenced based’ (often derived through socio/cultural/economic determinants) is more than just laboratory experiments – it is also about people seeking and finding what actually works for them through trial and error in their living and being. Yes, there does have to be safe guards but there has to also be ‘trail blazers’ – or further entropy and dis-ease would result. People do seek out medical expertise as appropriate and no one is discouraging them from doing that. However, there are a lot of people – male and female – that know that there is more to good health and well being than what conventional medicine – and the confines of research data – can offer. There is an energetic quality within us all, should we allow ourselves to be truly honest and self connected, that will tell us what works for us and where we are at. In this vein people seek out Universal Medicine and its accredited esoteric practitioners for support in aligning to their OWN energy and life force. No more, no less than that and it certainly leaves plenty of room for individual free choice.
I agree no laboratory experiments needed, there is so much evidence in Universal Medicine students own experiences, the beautiful before and after photos, the huge variety of comments about life changes, the joy and fun at student gatherings.
…and maybe for me, the most reliable evidence of all, the changes within me as I have become aware that there are two types of energy and I have a choice about the one I opt to align to
and take responsibility for the consequences.
Well said Helen: “there are a lot of people – male and female – that know that there is more to good health and well being than what conventional medicine can offer”… So many people know that you cannot stay healthy from just a yearly (or less frequent) visit to the doctor, it needs to be in the way your living/taking care of yourself to keep your weight under control & have a balanced diet, get enough sleep, and not get overly stressed which can all lead to ill health if not monitored. What this blog has so clearly presented is that it is not so much about what we should be doing, but why we aren’t implementing things that we know help our health – Universal Medicine has helped hundreds/thousands people myself included to understand these reasons and to start to work through them in order to live in the way that supports our health the most
Beautifully captured Jessica. Universal Medicine is not only asking questions, that even evidence based medicine is not asking, it also has answers.
True Deanne – my experience of research (although relatively limited) is that there is someone always sponsoring the studies – and the hypothesis is basically put forward by the people who are funding it – if that doesn’t produce conflict of interest or bias or whatever you want to call it, I don’t know what would.
Hi Helen,
This comment really spoke to me and emulated what I felt from reading this blog. Anyone who knows about evidence based medicine knows that there are many flaws in it. It has it’s place but really it is only a fraction of science, it is no where close to the full picture. The gold standard in evidence based medicine is large reviews of RCT’s and these are based on a biomedical model of medicine i.e. for testing the safety and efficacy of drugs. Not manual therapy or procedures like massage, physiotherapy and even surgery, let alone healing and energetic based modalities that are not based purely on the biomedical scientific model but incorporate much more of the epigenetic and quantum physics science paradigms.
The way evidence based medicine fundamentalists are suffocating innovation and as you say the “trail blazers” is a huge step back for mankind and disastrous to the future of our health care and medicine.
This is such a good point – didn’t humanity believe the world was a disc not that long ago? we have to start understanding and feeling life for ourselves and not just believe what we are told, without ever checking where the ‘so called facts’ are coming from.
Absolutely D.R.D that’s exactly what humanity believed and you were ridiculed for thinking anything else until trail blazers sailed the world.
So True DRD and this is what Universal Medicine presents – discernment and connection to our bodies and the world around us. So we can make choices and decisions from our lived experience and not what the world imposes upon us.
Such a beautiful reminder and we all have that wisdom inside of us it just takes honesty and a willingness to commit to feeling our bodies and our deepest inner truth and then live life from there. Although I fall off this, when connected to my deep inner truth it is the most glorious self empowering and confidence building feeling in the world.
