1. “I am an active partner in the treatment, management and healing of my disease.” This is so important – too many of us take health care professionals for granted and do not feel to take our own responsibility.

2. Whilst so many healthcare professionals work tirelessly for others, within the profession I am not sure how much genuine self care is actually practiced. The heart to care for others is there I am sure, but I also question how much of it is it applied to self? We can only care as much as we care for ourselves – getting burned out in the end is counter productive. I have found more often than not, that most professionals in any field will ensure that work comes first and that self care is a much lower priority. Pushing through, sacrificing sleep, sacrificing exercise, sacrificing diet, sacrificing honest expression etc., to ensure function ultimately sacrifices quality, healthy relationships and a vitality for life.

3. Denise, to read about a doctor who provides truly holistic care is pretty rare within a hospital system. Often they are so busy, it’s not on their radar to treat a patient as more than just a patient.

   What you have described is what I would love to see more of in our health care system. Can you imagine if all health care practitioners provided this type of service, what would the state of the system be in?

   What a beautiful experience to read about and through this example, it is possible that many others can be inspired to follow.

4. ‘The level of care goes above and beyond anything I have ever experienced from specialists and care in other hospitals.’ When we make caring the foundation of what we do, in everything we do it has the power to lift others – to open everything up for them and they in turn, in this inspiration, offer this to others.

5. I agree Doug, the combination of western medicine with the esoteric brings the best of both worlds. Both are very much needed in society today. I healed so much faster than expected after surgery a few years ago now, using both. It surprises me that doctors say ‘do whatever you are doing’ that contributes to a speedier recovery, but don’t ask what it is that is making the difference….

6. “I am an active partner in the treatment, management and healing of my disease.” A beautiful read – and we do need to be actively involved in our healing. Handing over our body for our doctors to ‘fix it’ belies any responsibility on our part.

7. Maybe the level of care you received could one day be the norm. I feel it is not always about the lack of money in our medical systems, but understanding what self love and self nurturing really mean and are then offered as part of their training so that nurses and doctors are not burnt out and exhausted.

   1. Alison I feel you have hit the nail on the head. Whilst we like to blame the issues in our systems on under investment, we can actually do a lot more than we think with fewer resources if we chose to connect to the love that we are and put that at the centre of everything we do.

   2. Alison the ‘level of care received’, should be the standard everywhere. If the patient is playing their part in taking responsibility in their own healing, the rest of the support will follow too.

      This again should be taught at any medical, or any other health care professional training. We have much to learn from this physician.

8. There’s so much joy in your words. It’s very beautiful when responsibility is being accepted as power and lived as such.

9. “I am an active partner in the treatment, management and healing of my disease”. This is a very powerful statement in a medical world where many patients give the power for their healing over to the professionals, and in doing so miss out on the most important factor of all; their part in their own healing. We know our bodies more intimately than any one else and to hold back from sharing all that we know does not support the doctors etc to carry out their role as fully as they could. The union of doctor, patient and medical knowledge is a very powerful union indeed; one never to be underestimated in any way.

10. Amazing Denise that you have been looked after, cared for and supported to heal your disease and that you have taken full responsibility for why you have it. Bringing yourself to your physician with the understanding that all your choices make an immediate impact on your body and state of being is something that not many people take very seriously. Thanks for sharing.

11. We are so much more than only physical. Our bodies purpose and its existence is to realign to the grandness from which we are coming from- if we reduce our body to just function we are limiting us from the greatness that we are.

12. If you make life about people, it does not matter what profession you are in. Only the quality and the connection counts that left its footprints on earth to inspire one and another.

13. Experiences and your history with your disease should be definitely recorded in a book as a role model of a patient and as an example of true care for people. Universal Medicine ignites the energetic wisdom with the western medicine to truly heal and not find solutions that are expensive and not changing anything in the end.

    1. I wonder statistically how much each medical condition, illness and disease has risen in the last 20 years? Whilst all the money spent on health, training professionals, research and medical solutions have supported the modern population to live longer and deal with symptoms, how much of this money has actually stemmed the flow of disease and illness? At what point do we begin to ask ourselves why there is such an exponential increase and at what point do we begin to get honest at the relentless tidal wave of it all, understanding that we play a huge part in the occurrence of disease and illness in the first place by our simple everyday choices?

14. No true healing can occur if we’re not wiling to be an active participant in the process. Like all relationships, healing is 50/50 between our willingness to heal and look at what caused the imbalance in the first place, and the body’s natural ability to heal and discard anything that doesn’t belong in it.

    1. And to have no picture how true healings looks like.

15. Denise this is so amazing, this is the beauty of humanity working together to support people to heal and feel truly cared for. The integrated approach is very supportive, it brings understanding and purpose to the overall healing, not just healing to the physical body but to the whole person.

16. ” l feel that these people love what they do and they do it with love.” A beautiful example of the power of love in healing.

    1. You can be the greatest, most known and highly distinguished person, if you are not connecting with people and truly loving them, the volume of your work will always be limited and alchemy won´t be able to work through you.

    2. We can never underestimate the ‘power of love in healing’ for if we do, we are excluding one of the most important factors in the healing of any illness or disease. The power of love is always palpable and to be the one on the receiving end is an absolutely beautiful and confirming experience.

17. “I am not a victim of the disease or the medical system, because I am pro-active in my treatment and care, a co–creator in my own healing” – Wow I love this Denise. When we take responsibility and our care into our own hands we can feel an incredible sense of empowerment and authority, all of which actually supports our body (and our mental state) to feel more vital.

18. It is the level of care that you get from the whole hospital that makes the difference, from the cleaners, the porters to the surgeons, they all make up the one care package.

19. Very beautiful to read of the super team work and support this offered you to go deeper with your healing.

    1. We come from a Oneness that´s why true brotherhood does touch deeply, as it reminds us to the great truth we all carry inside us. When groups work in that supportive, loving and caring energy I feel immediately like being in heaven.

20. True healing is to renounce the ill causing energy, and treat the symptoms affecting the body. Only when the energy is renounced from the body, can the healing occur. Otherwise it will come up in many different forms of illness and disease.

21. It was so lovely to read this ‘I am pro-active in my treatment and care, a co–creator in my own healing. I am fully responsible for the choices I make.’ we really do need to talk about this more especially when it comes to looking after our health. It is empowering for us to live this way ✨

22. What I feel in this gorgeous sharing is the absolute equalness in every single person – and the delight and joy in knowing that they are an integral part of the team whether they are a doctor, a nurse, a cleaner, a patient; and the sense of responsibility that naturally arises from that awareness. Very beautiful.

23. It says a lot about the observer (you) when they can see beauty in others like you do.

24. Whenever there is a genuine love for people at heart, the level of care and love can be felt through our work and this is what offers true service and support in healing and in general. Love is indeed the universal medicine that supports us all to live or return to live our true potential.

25. Wow this blog is the potential and future of medicine.

    1. Sure is! Setting a new level of awareness of how we say yes to healing the body on both a physical and energetic level.

26. The root of our ill health comes from our separation from the love, warmth and wisdom of our Soul. Therefore if we are to truly heal such a divide, we cannot heal it with further separation such as an ‘us/them’ mentality between practitioner and patient or by segmenting the body and not looking at how each part relates back to the whole it is a part of. We heal it by reconnecting to each other and ourselves and this can only be done with genuine love and care at the forefront and then all that modern medicine can offer to support us during this process. When used in this way, our medicine, like our love, is truly Universal.

27. A gorgeous testament to what can take place when we work together, and this is an integral part of true medicine and healthcare.

28. ‘I am treated with the utmost care and respect, with dignity. But there is also friendly chat, humour and laughter, as we exchange stories about our lives.’ What you are describing in your blog is exceptional but what I feel is that this should be the norm, we are all equal and responsible beings and this is the way we should be treated where ever we go.

    1. Yes Annelies, and it could be the norm in every type of job, a standard for interacting with humanity we all adhere to, and it’s something that’s naturally there within us all.

29. What a difference it makes to the healing process when you have true care for the patients and the patient is willing to look at their part in the illness.

30. ‘No matter how good the doctor is, without this aftercare the outcome for patients would not be so favorable.’ Great point Denise it has to be the whole team that supports the whole of the patient, and everyone needs to take responsibility for their part including the patient themselves.

31. This is the future way for medicine and care – a true relationship between doctor, patient and hospital care with an understanding of energy in the practical application of medicine.

32. How beautiful it is to read of a partnership between a health practitioner and their patient equally engaged in the healing process and responsible for their part.

    1. How awesome to read that there is a true relationship that is forming that breaks the ideas we have about the patient and the health practitioner being more or less.

33. I had an operation just over a year ago and fortunately had the funds to go privately and the care I received was very good. I also had the support of Esoteric Healing practitioners who came in to visit me in hospital and at home, so there was a great deal of self care and integrated care that helped me to recover well. Where the system falls down is with people who can’t afford private healthcare and suffer the vagaries and delays of the public system. Nurses working flat out with little time for patients and doctors doing both public and private work, there is not the level of care you get in the private system because the resources are not there. There is no equality in our healthcare systems when they are financially based.

    1. It’s a great point Carmel. Just to add to the conversation I had a really awful experience in a private hospital, many people on my ward were in the same boat, the hospital was being run like a business with the focus on making money so costs were cut and low quality care experienced by many. The neglect I experienced was quite shocking. I have also recently discussed with someone poor private hospital care experienced as a cancer patient, so I suppose there are many factors to consider when it comes to quality hospital care. By contrast a relative also received excellent care at a public hospital. I would imagine each hospital is a study of its own, but yes I agree in full regarding the necessity of the equality of funding.

34. “I am an active partner in the treatment, management and healing of my disease.” Taking responsibility for our part in the healing process is so often the missing ingredient in the prescription.

35. A beautiful example of how we are an integral part of medicine, and as being a part, there is a relationship that needs to be nurtured along the way.

36. ‘I know that his humility and his ability to accept and surrender will allow him to KNOW what the next step is when it comes to that.’ What an utter blessing to share that much trust and love with someone who is supporting you in such a fundamental way and to know that as your relationship evolves so too does that trust and love.

37. The beautiful synergy between practitioner and client makes space for incredible healing … on all levels.

38. How gorgeous to have this experience and to be open to it. It feels incredibly loving and holding and most of all healing.

39. When I read “I am treated with the utmost care and respect, with dignity” my first thought was that this is how we all should be treated when we are needing to be in hospital, but I know from experience that this is not always the case. To be treated as a whole person, not just a knee or a foot, and respected as the one who knows their body better than anyone ought to be a given, as it is an essential part of a person’s healing; something that every medical professional should be taught on day one of their training.

40. My heart sings reading this blog today to hear someone describe their doctor as a true partner in their healing process and to feel the ripple affects of how that physician treats everyone is beautiful … this is how medicine can be and this feels so supportive of both the patients and all the staff involved.

    1. Monica thats so true, the partnership in our healing is key to everything its key to a whole new way we deal with medicine and our relationships with our doctor.

41. Wow! It is so rare to read this kind of feedback of a medical practitioner. I’ve seen many GP’s over the years, and I have to say I’ve often felt very underwhelmed in the appointments. Often being told that what I presented was unusual and there was no reason for it, with little to no desire to investigate further. A huge part of this is definitely due to the amount of pressure doctors have on them to pump through their patient list and so I understand that going above and beyond is often just not within their capacity. But it says a lot about how we treat doctors and nurses and the medical system in general.

42. ‘The miracle for me is finding an extraordinary Physician and Healer whose support and care has allowed me to heal. I have experienced a new level of true integrated care. This is truly Universal Medicine.’ Beautifully said Denise.

43. It’s encouraging to read this example of true medicine. What stands out is the lived quality of the medical staff supporting you and that this can be felt in your patient experience. But equally important is the emphasis you place on your own responsibility for your healing. Without this as a key component, treatment and recovery are simply transactions on a body that disowns the cause.

44. ” I have experienced a new level of true integrated care. This is truly Universal Medicine. ” This is so wonderful to read and hear about, universal medicine in a hospital, Plato must be jumping for joy, thank you for sharing Denise.

45. This level of care and understanding offers a deep appreciation for the power of relationships, true medicine and healing. It is unheard of in the medical profession and we have a divine opportunity to shift so much simply by allowing the body to communicate. Medicine has become about risk and the knowledge when this does not truly support the patient. What is presented here is an all-encompassing way of medicine.

46. What is presented here is the future of medicine and health care where patients take responsibility for their own health and health care practitioners support them in that.

47. When I read this article I rejoice at the level of love and care you received… and then I wonder why it’s not the norm.

    1. I think that’s a good question to ask – then we open up the way for clearing out anything that gets in the way of living the depth of love and care that we all have the potential to bring.

    2. The next question may be ‘How could we support each other and change the systems of the world so this is our norm?’

48. ‘I am an active partner in the treatment, management and healing of my disease.’ This is so important Denise – a way of being that brings true healing.

49. After reading your blog all I can feel Denise is the level of responsibility we have not only to our self-care but the equally important part we have in promoting everyone else’s health and wellbeing by supporting their healing process too.

50. The medical profession gets a bad rap a lot of the time but what often seems to be overlooked is that the intention of the work they do is to support others. The job is based around care which can often get lost due to circumstances – long hours, not enough staff and so on. The care of a doctor is rather lovely.

51. I love this Denise, thank you for sharing so openly your experiences. This is truly integrative medicine you are so right… and you have essentially outlined the model of healthcare for the future. A very powerful testimony and account.

52. There is a huge difference when doctors and nurses, or in fact anyone, speaks to you and uses you name because there is a connection an invitation to be open, and when we trust that connection we are more honest about how we feel and what is going on for us.

53. Wow – imagine if a doctor like this was responsible for training and guiding all the doctors through medical school, we’d have some truly amazing, deeply caring human beings working as doctors.

54. There is a great deal of talk of partnerships and collaboration with patients but from my observations there are few equipped to actually do this. It is not something you can learn from a text book or course, as equality is an energetic quality rather than a practice. Having worked in health, I can see there is a huge consciousness that ranks people and values some more than others. Without awareness of this energy it is difficult to be free of it and have a true partnership

55. True Medicine is something that really shines through when the patient and doctor, nurses and entire medical community including the family work together as one. In fact if this was how we always lived and worked the medical support we would need would be minimal.

56. That to me is the most important thing that we meet each other, know each other’s names and care for each other. That makes life fulfilling and joyful, that is what makes us feel invigorated and committed where ever we are and whatever we do.

57. Integrative and holistic medicine describes care that involves the full engagement of staff and the patient in all aspects of the treatment and healing process.

58. “I am an active partner in the treatment, management and healing of my disease.” and this quality of self-responsibility and and the self-honouring that cannot but be there with it reflects out to those around you, influencing the quality of what comes back.

59. This was just stunning to read… a deeply inspiring glimpse into what is possible when patients take responsibility for the part they play in their illness and recovery and where in turn they are treated holistically where no level of love or care is not applied…. In this way true surrender, acceptance and healing can allow for miracles to happen.

60. I am not a victim of the disease or the medical system, because I am pro-active in my treatment and care, a co–creator in my own healing. This makes so much sense Denise and you have most definitely moved through your cancer with great insight and wisdom, choosing to work with, not against your body and your awareness of who you are in truth which has dramatically supported you through with your own great love and true service for all, through taking responsibility for your life.

61. Denise, have you heard the saying “We create our own reality”? This definitely applies here. What the hospital staff were bringing to you, was a reflection of what you have been to others your whole life.
    How we are is what we attract and although you obviously have your part in why the cancer formed in the first place, which you are clearly working through, there is also much to appreciate in what surrounds you and this appreciation is beautifully displayed in this blog.

62. This doctor is an incredible role-model for how every person can be in the work place – transforming relationships and care. It makes the whole concept of going to work completely different because then it is no longer about the results we can achieve but rather the quality of our time together, which is phenomenal.

63. What you share is absolutely amazing Denise, To know we are not a victim to a disease is the first step in healing.

64. This extraordinary can become normal when we all attend to our health issues in the same way Denise in collaboration with the medics and the services provided.

65. Wow this is extraordinary – and where we need to go forward with medicine for sure, every patient treated with the utmost care, attention and integrity and empowered to work in partnership with their physician.

66. This is the model to which all health care professionals and patients should aspire to. High quality and loving care coupled with patient responsibility clearly works!

67. “I have a genetic disease that should have killed me 10 years ago, yet now my tissue is regenerating, and with the medical help and the letting go of issues, my body is able to heal to a new level.” Yet as you say you are playing an active part in your healing. If we just leave it up to our doctors and carers and make no changes in our inner or outer life, then it is no surprise when disease returns or worsens. We too need to be active in our own healing, otherwise we get a cure only. In time this truth will be learnt by all medical staff in the conventional health care systems of the world.

68. How wonderful if we were all privileged to have a Doctor and Medical Staff of the calibre you mention. Some day this may be the norm.

69. This just goes to show that true care is true medicine. Without care and love we are left to the mercy of a whole load of pills, operations, procedures and advice that are totally empty and leave us feeling like a functioning body without a soul. As humans we respond to love and care. This is needed in the healing and medical professions.

70. A powerful example of how ‘ love ‘ is in fact the greatest medicine of all. You have shown how important it is to be met, held, treated and supported with love, all of which allows us a greater opportunity surrender to love, and be open to explore what is behind our unloving choices which have led us to be in dis-ease. As such true healing is possible, with our following steps taken with a greater awareness of whether the choices we make support us to live with more love in our lives.

71. Denise what an absolutely divine experience you have had, and your sharing seems to me to be the model for the future which would transform healing and recovery immensely.

72. A true testament to the possibility of the body to heal if the person inside takes responsibility for their part in the healing of the body.
    “I have a genetic disease that should have killed me 10 years ago, yet now my tissue is regenerating, and with the medical help and the letting go of issues, my body is able to heal to a new level.”

73. This is true medicine. The way you have been treated and the way you have surrendered to that treatment is what has allowed the healing to happen. Each one of you doing your part, from equalness, responsibility and collaboraboration.

74. A beautiful example Denise of true integrated care; what is possible when people work in collaboration and brotherhood.

75. I love what you share here, people are people regardless of the work they do and this is it in practice.

76. The biggest part of the story for me is not the getting better or not, it is the relationship with the doctor that you found trust in, and a willingness to see illness with a wide lens. The combination of responsibility for lifestyle choices and seeing everything we live being a lesson we can learn from, this for me is the quintessential factor when experiencing ill health.

    1. This is true Doug, we have developed a level of ill health across our populations that means the relationships with Doctors has changed completely. Growing up I had one Doctor, now when I do see someone it is always someone different as the time pressure is so great and the personal relationship is not considered important. And yet so many rely on Doctors for more than just physical, but also psychological support. We perhaps need a new model of healthcare that supports people back to true health and wellbeing.

    2. These are the true facts of healthcare in the current age, and why we need to really stop and reassess what we value. For the life we are all surrounded by now is so intense and for many painful. Who actually thinks it’s fun to be surrounded by such illness, stress and tension.

77. I find it quite touching to read about a doctor being spoken of as a healer and physician. It takes away the false hierarchy that exists in medicine and restores the sense of dignity and art of medicine that it naturally holds.

78. The equality you experienced from the doctor to the cleaners in hospital, was possible because of the equality you held as a patient. If we as a client come as an equal party to the healing process and take ownership for our part, it allows everyone else to just do their part – and not be expected to pull a miracle out without the patient having to do a thing

79. How blessed you are to be in a position where you are being supported by such a Doctor. With the soaring suicide rates in that profession it is great to hear that there are those who are embracing life and their patients!

80. It is rare to read such a heartfelt review on health care received, as a rule many of us moan about the care we receive and forget about the great job others do. It sounds like this doctor is a true physician and obviously enjoys his work and people.

81. The fact that your physician is treating the whole of you, rather than just the illness – that is super special and such a great model for us all, not only in medicine, but in all our service industries. It’s not just about getting the job done, it’s about bringing everyone with you as well.

82. Denise, this is so beautiful to read and an example of how the health system could be for everyone. If this was the way we would no longer have the exhausted health system we currently have. Definitely the way forward for us all.

83. WOW! That’s amazing. To be told you should have died 10 years ago, and to be living still today due to your choices and not only that, completely reversing the illness you were born with is an utter miracle…and it all sounds so simple to do…trust, accept responsibility for your part, and allow others to trust in themselves. What a recipe!

84. When we apply to life that everything matters, no moment is unimportant.

85. The care of this health care practitioner is palpable in this blog – true health CARE.

86. What a wonderful experience Denise! To have chosen a Doctor who is truly interested in each patient and Nurse and doesn’t hold back sharing the truth with you and your openness to healing all contributed to your healing.

87. You highlight something so important here Denise, that it’s not just about the doctors, it’s everyone is involved, including the patient themselves, that is true integrated medicine, have the whole team engaged and supporting and the patient fully engaged with all. I can feel how it allows the healing and the medicine to go to another level. This is our future medicine.

88. True medicine and an example of whole system and integrated healthcare where everyone employed in the hospital actively participates to support and nurture patients. What a love-filled hospital and model health care facility.

89. Thank you Denise, it was beautiful to read your story again. I appreciated this line “My healing is so deep because I have the trust and support to go there, to let go, to accept and surrender to this level of care.” Care is so important in the healing process, my doctor recently told me that research showed that surgeons with good bedside manner got better results than equally competent surgeons who did not. We chatted about the importance of care and the Unimed Living article I recently read about the placebo affect and how care is part of the healing people experience even though they don’t receive an actual medicine.

90. ‘This is an extraordinary relationship: a partnership, there is no “them and us.”’ This should be common but we all know it is not but although it is not I feel the way we present ourselves, taking responsibility for our own health will eventually change a system that is very much about ‘them and us’.

91. No ‘them and us’, but a partnership of togetherness and brotherhood sound a wonderful way to be treated in the medical field; in fact any field. Thank you Denise.

92. Denise we have just been treated to a glimpse of our medical future. Thank you, it’s beautiful.

    1. Yes I hope so! Wouldn’t it be wonderful to consider this way of working was part of all medical training?

93. It is easy and understandable that we get disillusioned with the medical system, but never should we become disillusioned with our doctors, and nor should they in turn become disillusioned with their patients, merely because of the constrictions of the system.

    1. Underneath all the exteriors are people who deeply care about one another and are working to understand true care without judgement.

94. Denise this is amazing, wow I am blown away, I met you last year and you are shining, you look so well. I love this whole blog, this is the way healing should be.

95. It is wonderful as a healthcare professional to read about a medical experience that treats the whole person. There are so many doctors and health professionals who do have that old style quality of the healer, but often the environment does not support them to work fully in this way. What is most important in this blog is the fact that you know that you are the co-creator of your healing. Without our active input in our healing we can only be patched up and sent out into the world, to later return again with the same or worse issues.

96. When there is no them and us in the practitioner patient relationship and everyone from the porter to the nurse, to the physiotherapist and the doctor is valued equally, true unity collaboration and healing can occur.

97. It is so beautiful to read about your experience in the hospital with all these loving and caring people and equally your part in your miraculous healing. The love, connection and care you describe is who we all are at essence and how every business and work place could operate – so the extraordinary thing should not be that this happened, but why is it not the norm?

98. Beautiful appreciation of a doctor that considers the big picture and the whole person, not just the parts, yes true integrated health care. I could feel the healing in the words written.

99. A great article on what is possible for us all every time. I love how this is written and in the way it is telling a story about how this experience can be. I am sure this is not the norm at this point and it’s great to see how we can take an active role in our ‘conditions’. Like anything this is about relationships and how whenever anything happens we need to see the people first, what do they actually need, what are they truly asking for and what do we feel they need. The relationship of these two things coming together to bring the next part. So often one may run over the other and then this brings a tension or at times a fight between two or more aspects. At every point we need to work together, no matter what the heading and this part is still a work in progress for me.

100. What an amazing example of true teamwork and how everyone in the hospital including the patient contributes their share towards this inspiring outcome.

101. Beautiful to read how you have had such loving and supportive care and treatment, it shows how different medicine can be if everyone who is responsible for a patient’s care, chooses to be all inclusive, supportive and very open.

102. It is rare to read medical accounts such as this, whereby the patient is actively involved with every aspect of the healing process and has huge appreciation for her physician. Reading this has set healing and support at a new level.

103. This is extraordinary Denise, this shows how amazing our body is at healing when we make loving choices and choose to listen and honour our body.

104. True medicine is in the brotherhood and connection shared wth a loving responsibility and integrity taken by all. This is a beautiful example Denise and such and inspiration for us all doctors medical staff patients and all of us with equal responsibility for ourselves in how we are living also.

105. It is rare to read a medical experience like this. A couple of times I felt like I was reading a fairy tale and then I re-connected to the fact that this was your living experience and it showed me that it is possible for us to live like this. This is true patient-centred care. Or people-centred care.

106. What a great sharing of true medicine. Thank you Denise.

107. A great testimony to conventional medicine, as it should be practised Denise; a very gorgeous story of connection, care, love and considered treatment. Your appreciation of the care team is beautiful to read;;
     “I am treated with the utmost care and respect, with dignity. But there is also friendly chat, humour and laughter, as we exchange stories about our lives”.

108. Our bodies are incredible and it just shows that when we are open to healing, support and love what changes – in that you say the genetic dis-ease that you were diagnosed with should have killed you 10 years ago, yet here you are a living miracle with your cells and tissues regenerating. Amazing. So Gosh if love, openess, a willingness to heal, support, true care, community and brotherhood can do this what more can it do? This is very empowering what you shared ‘I am not a victim of the disease or the medical system, because I am pro-active in my treatment and care, a co–creator in my own healing. I am fully responsible for the choices I make.’ Something we all can learn from.

109. We often think of illness as a sad thing – but the way this healing and care is described comes across as a learning, a healing, a beautiful relationship. I love the way that medicine is brought back to people and care and not statistics and science. This sense of balance seems so logical. Healing can offer so much not just to those who are sick.

110. This is a beautiful example of when we share true care and connection with each other it is not just the patients on the ward who feel the healing power of love but all the medical and support staff as well.

111. Connection and understanding comes from knowing love and love’s way has led in your relationship with your doctor Denise. Deeply beautiful to feel.

112. Such a beautiful, responsible way of looking at illness and disease, that the human race on mass needs to develop. I had a emergency hospital visit a few months back and everything was great, the speed in which I got to the operating table, the operation and coming around, but the aftercare was appalling really and so I had to really accept my responsibility in the way I was living prior to the op for this to happen.

113. Your appreciation of this doctor is beautiful to read, I welcome the day health care generally move to this level.

114. “I am an active partner in the treatment, management and healing of my disease.” – I guess that is key, that everyone involved in the care and healing process understands himself and is seen as partners thus taking responsibility and enjoying to do their best to contribute to a loving connection with each other. The connection and quality itself are healing for everyone and a major ingredient for the patient in their physical (and emotional) healing process.

115. I was touched by the care this GP brings to all of those who surround him, and how much one person can have a ripple effect on those around them.

116. “My doctor is extraordinary. He is also a healer, who combines medicine with psychological and physical care by treating the whole body. I have never had a physician like this before; he is always accessible and I know he is there for me, in my corner.” A very beautiful and heartfelt tribute Denise. How amazing it would be if your experience was commonplace but sadly this is not the case, YET!

117. The fact that you were moved to write this glowing tribute Denise, shows the absolute power that true care brings. Its ripple effects go on and out to touch everybody in a way our mind finds difficult to accept. Imagine a world where all 7 billion of us cared like your Doctor does? Well, it seems to me this would be incredible medicine for all of humanity.

118. Wow Denise – what would our world be like if we all followed your Doctor’s lead and let go of thinking about ‘them and us’ in all of life? When our behaviour is truly supportive of each other, we might find we do not suffer from so much illness and disease in the first place. In this way our caring comes full circle – because as you beautifully show there is no seperation in truth between me and you.

119. I just attended the worldwide Congress for Integrated Care Conference and what became evident was that before all else in integrated care, relationships and trust must be developed and that medicine is about so much more than ‘medicine’ but that in fact our whole social structure and life style choices are also medicine, or not. Everything is either healing or harming.

120. There is so much to be appreciated when you hear about health professionals who engage with their patients in an equal and caring way. There is so much more medicine and healing to be found in the relationships not just the health systems.

121. True healing comes from connection, to ourselves and with each other. In this union we feel the strength of Oneness that is simply our ability and innate responsibility to work together as various parts of a grand whole to ‘get the job done’. Making life about people and not systems is a teaching of Serge Benhayon’s that paves the way forth for true healing to occur. It is truly a universal medicine for us all and your experience Denise is testament to this truth.

122. “I am an active partner in the treatment, management and healing of my disease.” This is where humanity needs to go, for us to take responsibility when it comes to our own health and wellbeing.

123. To be held and met with love by every aspect of our healing is what allows us to surrender in full to the love we are within. And as such we feel free to and safe to explore the loveless choices we have made that led us to an illness or dis-ease, so we can return ourselves to living in a more harmonious and settled way, our natural way of being. You have highlighted so exquisitely Denise how coming together in love, working together in equalness with love can only lead us to realise, heal and move onward in a way reflects the greatness and power of love that we all are.

124. The relationship you have with your surgeon provides a healing in itself – that you are both working together, that you are appreciative of one another – and that the healing comes from both of you. What you show here Denise is that medicine is one form of healing, but there is an opportunity to look at the energetic qualities of healing and how by building loving relationships with ourselves and with each other – it becomes a huge support.

125. Denise when I read this, there is no doubt of the amazing quality of care that is held in this hospital for staff and patients alike; “Over the years I have seen how the unit and ward he works in have totally been transformed. His staff love him, because he knows who they are, he knows all their names and what they do. One nurse tells me that some of the other doctors don’t even know their names. He works with them all as a team, each one is essential to the holistic care of the person. This shows in the extraordinary way I am treated by all the staff.”

126. What a wonderful account of Universal Medicine and the whole approach to care that goes into any outcome for the patient. Your words that blew me away were ” ..a co-creator in my own healing” doesn’t this just show us of the responsibility we have in every choice that we make, from those to become unwell to those that support true healing. The power is always within our hands and our bodies and it is extremely self-empowering to be aware of this and take it in one’s own stride.

127. True care goes far beyond being skilled to carry out procedures and know about the physicality of the body. What you have described here Denise is the importance placed on relationship – all else flows from there.

128. I too have found it only takes one person to inspire others when it comes to supporting patients. I love that every step of the way, those who look after you are aware of the little things that make a big difference to how you feel.

129. Amazing – the support of the Doctor for you to feel cared for as a whole and not just as a symptom of an illness, a problem that needs fixing but rather the end result of a life lived out of sync with your body. A whole, holistic healing rather than a band aid cure.

130. It is wonderful to read how your doctor honoured you in total and did not just focus on the symptoms or any other aspect. I am understanding more and more just how vast and multidimensional we are. We crave being seen and related to in that way. Not only that, but when two people connect with one another in this recognition and honouring, so much space, awareness and wisdom opens up between them. Very lovely to read how you and your doctor went there.

131. ‘I am a co-creator in my own healing’ This just makes so much sense and is taking responsibility for our own choices and where they have got us to, which then better empowers us to feel and know what we are holding onto that is truly not us, and heal it and let it go, leaving the body in a more natural and divine state. And having the absolute support and true care of your medical practitioner along your healing journey is what true healing is all about, doing it together.

132. Your words remind me Denise, that greater than any treatment, drug or modality, the relationships we have are our greatest form of healing. Because our past may have had conflict or difficulty inside, it is like we can make the connection we share wrong, pull away and hide from what we truly feel is going on. But when we connect and understand that regardless of scenarios and conditions we see, the big reason we are all here is to be loving and cherish each other. The rest is just details to help us see, this bigger beauty.

133. Amazing Denise, you were truly nurtured and involved in a true collaboration of healing, if patients took responsibility like you did it would quickly alert the medical system as to how to clean up its act!

134. This is how our medical system could be everywhere, I understand there are high stress levels, busyness, high demands and so forth in the medical system, but this doctor was able to bring ‘Universal Medicine’ to his environment and it actually changes the whole set up where it brings healing for everyone, because people are working from a place of true care and respect. These qualities make the difference and then people work in a different way. I too have spent many hours in hospitals over my lifetime as a sick child. I remember the moments when the nurse or doctor showed that ‘extra’ smile, warmth and care, I felt safe and looked after. Then there are those when they were so stressed that I felt it and at times felt like crying because they were so ‘cold’ to me. But I also understand now why. It’s not personal.

135. Universal Medicine = true care = healing = team work = each person’s role is equal to this process

136. Your experience with how supportive and caring everything and everyone was during your hospital stay, down to the smallest detail, demonstrates just how everything has the potential of being either harming or healing, and when we recognise this, it makes such a difference to the way live life.

137. For me this shows that the care and interest we have in connecting to others regardless of their role allows them to pass on that same quality to others. We don’t have to go out and meet every single person for them to be met by our quality as that gets passed along the more we are open to sharing. Thank You Denise.

138. “My doctor is extraordinary. He is also a healer, who combines medicine with psychological and physical care by treating the whole body.” What cannot be overlooked here is the richness of this approach, it means we are treated as a person – a whole, rather than just the ill body part or the collective symptoms. This in itself is a very healing foundation to work from.

139. What a beautiful example of true medicine at work Denise.

140. My daughter just spent a week with this Doctor doing some work experience at the hospital… her feedback was identical. The quality of care that he has is extraordinary, and the combination of western and esoteric medicine is indubitably more than the sum of its parts.

141. i’ve come to see that most things in life are best done with the support of others. Working together as a community, as a family, is to bring absolute support to each other. Healing is no different and here is an amazing example of being so held by others that it is possible to look at medicine and healing in a whole new way. To work with each other is true brotherhood and as is shown here – a miracle.

142. Denise i love the feeling of such equalness in this post/experience between your physician and you.. and that in the strength of who he as a person, and not the held to ransom label of ‘doctor, i should know what to do’ is that he could freely admitted without anything when he wasn’t too sure himself…and what’s more that this did not floor you to think less of him, but the very opposite and inspire you to place even more trust and confidence in him. The surrender of yourself from the surrendering of him and which you both felt in each other too, so beautiful.

143. ‘Holistic care’, which I feel is a unifying way of caring, allows the magic of God to take place in much of life and in seemingly impossible situations. Thank you for sharing about your journey. I still have a way to go in completely embodying The Way of The Livingness presentations and fully letting everyone in without any resistance critique or judgment.

144. I always have a huge appreciation for anyone who can admit that even though they are an expert in their field, they do not know something right now. It shows me they are not trying to impress me, and more often than not this honest approach is a sign that they are willing to find out more and dedicated to growing and expanding themselves. That is very much the kind of person I want on my team!

145. What a wonderful example of how Medicine can be, thank you Denise for sharing your amazing experience of western medicine coupled with your openness, your ability to surrender and the way in which you took responsibility for your part in the ‘partnership’.

146. ‘…my tissue is regenerating, and with the medical help and the letting go of issues, my body is able to heal to a new level.’ This is so powerful Denise and should be a poster in every doctor’s surgery in the country! Taking responsibility for our own health means taking responsibility for the quality of life we lead in all aspects.

147. What also has supported this modern day miracle is that openness you had Denise to surrender to what was being presented by and from your body. Trusting the physician and allowing what needed to be connected to, to support such a deep healing. As you say it is a partnership and to have a physician that you deeply trust and feel a deep level of care and love is a winning combination.

148. Could there be any greater compliment to a Doctor than being called a “healer”?

149. This is so inspiring and imagine how the world medical health would be if this was the key basis of how to look after your patient, staff members and yourself. For this physician to be able to look after you and support means that they would have to be doing this in their own life. The care and nurturing that the physician has for themselves is the quality that they can give others, along with the honesty that they are living in will inspire their patient to do the same. When we stop and look at the world and see how far away true care and love for ourselves are as a physician and patients it is no surprise where the current health statistics are at. This physician is a shining example of how it can be and your responsibility in your own healing is also very inspiring Denise. Thanks for sharing.

150. ‘I am an active partner in the treatment, management and healing of my disease.’
     How important is this? To take as patients our responsibility, to understand what true healing is about and take the required steps.

151. Imagine every ward, every hospital, every doctor presented with the same love and care in what they do and how they are. Medicine would have a whole new definition for us all as we would see that healing is not just a physical thing, but equally energetic

152. Denise I loved reading how your experience of hospital is one of warmth and healing, in which you are an equally responsible participant to the medical team – no wonder you’re a medical miracle 😉

153. There is no divide between patient and doctor or medical professional when we connect as people first. This is such a beautiful sharing Denise – thank you.

     1. I can’t read this enough. The same goes the world over. If we took down the pictures and barriers we put up in so many areas we would see the world very differently and the world would be a very different place.

154. I love coming back to this blog and the great care you received from this doctor/ specialist and his team. What especially resonated with me today is when you say ” I know that his humility and his ability to accept and surrender will allow him to KNOW what the next step is when it comes to that”. Your story and that of this doctor and his team are extraordinary and we need to hear more about them, it is the future of our medicine, of universal medicine for all.

155. ‘I am not a victim of the disease or the medical system, because I am pro-active in my treatment and care, a co–creator in my own healing. I am fully responsible for the choices I make.’ This is a key in true medicine, not to hand over our body to the medical system but be an equal part in the system.

156. True medicine goes far beyond surgery and drugs – and it starts with how we live with ourselves and how we are with others. If we hold connection to our inner heart and live in way that deepens love and connection to all, then we are on the path of healing.

157. We are all inter-connected and inter-dependent with each other, and when we start to live in a way that honours our true relationships, we can start to tap into the potential and power of what we can bring together, in healing, in love, and in evolution for all.

158. This must have been truly amazing to be treated with such love, attention to detail and care for you. That there was a genuine love for what they were doing and to feel this in they way they worked and supported you. This is phenomenal in the general state of hospitals today, this is such a great example of what is truly possible when we make it about the people on both sides, the ones you are caring for and also the ones that are working with you. To have ‘medical miracles’ is something that could be beneficial for everyone.

159. Thank you Denise, for a truly beautiful account of what real holistic care can deliver, along with your own active partnership in managing and healing your disease. You were truly blessed to experience this type of love and care by so many people on such a deep level.

160. I was a bit shocked to read at the end of the article that you have a genetic disease that should have killed you 10 years ago and that you are actually regenerating tissue. It is truly inspiring to read about your doctor, their approach to their work and the consequences of that on your care.

161. Denise what you have shared here is an example of true medicine offered at its best – a holistic approach that extends far beyond our current model. This doctor you talk about is one who considers not just the patients, but the whole medical team as such. This is phenomenal and a beautiful example of what could be for us all at all hospitals and with all doctors – a real inspiration.

162. Being an “active partner” in the treatment of your disease is both fundamental to healing, and also a credit to both you and your medical support team.

163. Denise this is a truly inspiring example of what medicine can be when we are all active participants in our health. It’s a blueprint for the future.

164. Wow this certainly is Universal Medicine, everyone has a part to play and absolute responsibility for your actions to where you are now, making sure that it is encouraged in you to go deeper and look at why you are there with this condition. This level of care and attention to detail is a ginormous support for you to let go, surrender and feel comfortable to look at the choices you have made even when it is uncomfortable to go there, the support and love that you are held in gives you an opportunity to do so. Imagine if all hospitals were operating with this depth and love. Over time we may see a decrease in ill-ness and dis-ease.

165. That is great Denise and shows what is possible when we all work together and take responsibility for ourselves rather than going in patient doctor mode where the patient knows nothing and the doctor has to have all the answers.

166. Hi Denise – this is true medicine where every aspect is held as sacred and the understanding that in true healing we are a powerful part of the process. What you have described about your doctor, medical staff, hospital feels like a truly supportive platform for you to go more deeply into what is happening in your body – ‘My healing is so deep because I have the trust and support to go there, to let go, to accept and surrender to this level of care’.

167. And how wonderful is this Denise ‘I am encouraged also to look at the deeper psychological issues and experiences that have got me to this point’.
     If we all chose to look a little deeper when it comes to why and when and how we get unwell our recovery would be from the result of true healing

168. This is just amazing to read. True healing and true medicine are such a blessing and I can so feel this in your writing Denise. How awesome this will be when everyone is so supported in this loving way, patient, hospital workers and doctors. You are blazing a trail for this.

169. A truly inspirational description of true Universal Medicine. There are so many components within this description that are stand-alone practices of excellence but, however, they would not be ‘excellent’ if it was not for the whole care. It is this, which makes it ‘True Medicine’.

170. A beautiful example Denise of how true care, partnership and connection, in the conventional medical field, can work for all concerned. A divine blessing for you and your doctor, flowing to all involved.

171. Your doctor sounds amazing, a true role model for the medicine industry. In the UK there has been much speculation with doctors as someone in government wants to reduce their salary but increase their hours (however I am sure they are getting a large wage!). Doctors and nurses have a somewhat stressful and demanding job, only the other day I spoke with a retired nurse who said she would work really long hours and not even be able to get herself a drink! The key is the relationship with ourselves, if we truly love and care for ourselves including giving ourselves breaks and drinks when needed then caring for others will be easier to.

172. It is beautiful the partnership you describe Denise between you and your doctor as there seems little separation between you in the sense that you have taken energetic responsibility but allow another to support you medically.

173. “My healing is so deep because I have the trust and support to go there, to let go, to accept and surrender to this level of care”. It is incredible just what happens when we are honest with ourselves and we trust.

174. I love coming back to reading your blog Denise…there is such a feeling of love and respect coupled with a strong sense of responsibility from all concerned that the outcome of your experience could only bring healing for all…..just the way all medical/healing experiences should be….and one day will be.

175. I love this blog, truly inspiring and calling us back to a truth we all know of what true medicine is… This is the way of the future for medicine eventually and inevitably. How long it takes is up to us.

176. Denise the fact that you are an “active partner” in your own care is what makes the difference. You can have the best doctors and nurses in the greatest hospital, but if you do not play that essential part the care and treatment will always be capped.

177. Denise this is so unheard of and often not shared when it comes to the quality of care that patients may receive when having procedures. This is definitely true medicine and allows the patient to feel safe, nurtured and allow for them to rest even deeper during the process.

178. When a doctor treats the whole body through combining psychological and physical care and the patient is willing to take responsibility then healing on many levels for both the doctor and patient will be the outcome.

179. Finding a healer is not something many people choose to do. Yet it’s quite simple: I can choose to empower myself to be my healer, everything else may then constellate.

180. Becoming an active partner in the treatment of your disease was not always encouraged in the medical world. The old paradigm was to hand oneself over to the doctor and it was up to them to make us well, regardless of how we treated our own health with daily irresponsible choices. Taking responsibility for all aspects of our lives should be welcomed. Science is now showing that epigenetics rather than genetics plays a key factor in our health. How many more ‘medical miracles’ there could be, like yourself, if more people took responsibility for their lifestyle choices.

181. This sentence should be the catch cry for all patients in healing going forward “I am an active partner in the treatment, management and healing of my disease.” That we ‘are’ and ‘need’ to be an active partner, actually not just an active partner, but someone who takes full responsibility for the illness or disease that presents in our own bodies.

     1. Absolutely true Reagan, there is growing awareness, due to the medical sector no longer being able to cope, that we need to be active in knowing what is going on, what the doctors are communicating, and being responsible for knowing we are receiving the right treatment to the best of our ability, and that we have a part to play in following up with lifestyle advice we receive. A great start after decades of giving ourselves completely over to the medical professional and expecting them to take care of us. Yet being an active partner in our healing process goes much further than this, it goes as far as to acknowledge and understand that it is the way we live that is causing the illness and disease and therefore take full responsibility in not only making changes, but becoming very honest in what it exactly is that underlies a certain illness or disease.

182. This blog is constantly inspiring Denise and I have read it so many times. I feel a strong connection to what you present here as the future of healthcare. Staff who are amazing people first, before they are clinicians, patients who are actively engaged in their health and make informed decisions. This is the only way we are going to be able to mange healthcare in the future.

183. Thank you Denise for sharing how this particular medical practice works and how by connecting to the staff it changes everything that is then possible and received by the patients. And what I get a sense of is that it has not been pushed or tried to be this way, but very simply achieved by making those connections with each other.

184. Hello Denise, it’s beautiful to feel the care you were held in, with each person included as an essential part of a whole team that supported you through this process. With a strong sense of equality and value in each worker it must have felt quite extraordinary and healing just being part of that environment. It makes sense that in a caring profession the foundation of care must first start with the team that cares for others. Rather than care being something we perform when needed, it becomes something we live with all in every moment.

185. I believe Denise this following sentence sentence from your great blog is very telling of the exceptional love and support you received while in hospital. “I am an active partner in the treatment, management and healing of my disease.” The level of self responsibility, nurturing and deep care that you afford yourself cannot but be reflected back to you.

186. True open heart connection within human beings is incredible healing and our bodies respond immediately to it.

187. It is coming obvious to me that many people try to do the right thing, but the right thing just isn’t right and just not enough. A conversation with someone very recently revealed this. When they detailed what they thought was healthy it actually was way off, but they believed it was because that’s what they had read or had been told. So people think they are actively taking care, but the information being sold to them is incorrect in the first place.

188. Great to re-read and be re-inspired by this blog which shares how relationships and working together can be. Yet it also extends to relationships everywhere and that we all have a role in changing the world to the understanding that we all need each other and are all in this together.

189. It is awesome to read about how our healing can be held in our own hands. Our doctors are brilliant and their training and knowledge is unparalleled, but the final decision on whether to heal lies with us.

190. Amazing to hear that such care can exist in a worldwide crisis of hospitals being overworked and understaffed and illness and disease on the serious incline.

191. Denise knowing your doctor I know what an incredible Man he is, yet what comes across so strongly here is he is not just a “good” or “amazing” doctor but he is a man of universal living, a person who is taking care of all aspects of life and who’s commitment to relationships can be deeply felt by everyone. He is a true doctor.

192. You could not have been in a better place, you have a great team with a Doctor who is also a healer with his team nurses and all other staff. It is beautiful to hear there are places like this where the body is looked at as a whole holistically together with Medicine. It is also great that you are playing a great role in your own healing by looking at how you got there in the first place and letting go of issues and choices you have made in the past that no longer support you.

193. This is true integrated medicine and holistic care, and great to read about the level of care you received. I welcome the day that this is the norm for all.

194. Every one of us knows what it is to be truly cared for and appreciated by people in hospital, who we regard in many ways as strangers. For me it brings a tingle to my spine to feel the potential of what it means to be cared for so lovingly in such a setting, and how this is our innate way of being, providing support for others and getting it also. It is now our ability to transfer such care more widely to make the whole of our societies feel the fact that we are meant to live in harmony, and how our bodies cry out for such a way to live.

195. What stands out to me in this blog is how Denise has been able to accept the level of care offered to her, to take this as a great opportunity and to appreciate all that it brings and to go as far as she can with regards to her own healing. This is where the true magic lies, where, for me, Universal Medicine sits – because we can effectively be offered all the chances in the world to heal, but I have noticed how these chances can go unnoticed unless we actually choose healing for ourselves.

196. When one person lives in a way that unites in any situation the impact on every thing around them is extraordinary; this is what I call true medicine.

197. With so many Doctors and medical staff suffering from burnout, reading what you have written about the the team that cared for you, it sounds like they have found a new way to operate in a system that is struggling to support patients and workers how inspiring and perhaps a new way forward?

198. Denise I have read this blog again and again and it is a constant inspiration and reminder of what true health care can be. Thank you again for sharing this and for being an inspiration to patients and healthcare professionals alike.

199. Universal = uni-verse = one verse. It is the song we sing as One and in this unity we cannot live less than the All that we so naturally are when we work together in harmony. A universal medicine is one that never ever strays from this truth, nor isolates the ‘fragment’ from the Whole it forever remains a part of.

200. Truly gorgeous Denise – we are the healers in our illness and disease and the medical staff who support us in this process are the facilitators for this to happen. This puts the responsibility back in our hands and also empowers us to feel that we are not passive recipients (or even worse, ‘victims’) in what happens to us during the course of our healing, but active participants who hold the genesis of true healing deep within. This cannot occur unless we surrender to this process by means of ‘letting down our guard’; those thick and many layered walls of protection we have built to keep us ‘safe’ in full illusion because all they really do is keep us separate to others and in this division we are unable to access the love that we are. Reaching out to others when we feel vulnerable is never a sign of weakness but one of great humility and strength for it shows our openness and willingness to re-connect and through this connection feel once more, our connection to ourselves, each other and the Universe we are held in. Denise, you are living and breathing proof that this is so and what you are showing us is the vital importance of treating ‘the part’ as an inseparable piece of the Whole – the All of Us.

201. It is so refreshing to read about the level of care you have experienced and actually have you write in appreciation about the treatment you received, in this day and age it seems a rarity. It is clear that by you taking responsibility for your own health that you are not looking for the doctors to take away your illness, but to assist you to clear it through your body – I am sure they could feel your appreciation of their efforts.

202. What an inspirational story – one to be shared with people the world over who are facing major challenges in their life related to health. Esoteric medicine is certainly a gift as a complementary to medicine modality.

203. If health care providers live the esoteric, the capacity to heal within the hospital setting will be enormous.

204. “I am an active partner in the treatment, management and healing of my disease.” Denise this should be quoted in every Patient waiting room, in all hospitals, surgeries and healthcare environments for this is the elixir of Responsibility, the medicine that will change the face of illness and disease as we know it today.

205. Wow Denise, firstly it is such a rarity to read such deep appreciation for the entirety of those working within the healthcare system, indeed “in the UK in 2013 the NHS hospital complaints rose by 1.9% – the biggest number of complaints were against hospital medical professionals including doctors and surgeons.”

206. Thank you for sharing Denise as you describe a model of medical healthcare that should be duplicated, and can be, universally.

207. I love how you have appreciated every single person who works at the hospital, from the cleaner to the nurse to those applying the cream as well the doctor every single person, counts in a harmonious and loving whole – this appreciation itself is a perfect example of true medicine.

208. All of what you have shared here Denise is amazing and more, it shows what is possible and leads the way for true health care.

209. As a child growing up in Ireland I saw that people knew that most doctors were healers. People understand that those who became doctors wanted to heal people and that part of healing was that you understood that a person was far more than just their physical body. I so appreciate you referring to your doctor Denise as a healer, because nowadays it seems like a dirty word or an insult to call a doctor a healer. What has happened to medicine that it has gone so far away from its true origins?

210. ‘I am an active partner in the treatment, management and healing of my disease.’ This is hugely important Denise.

211. The care you received feels exquisite

212. What you have described here Denise is the care of the future, a place to heal from the inside out. I can see why they would say that you are a medical miracle and it seems to me that both you and the medical team equally can learn from each other.

213. This is an absolutely shining example of what is possible within the medical system. It is so beautiful to read of a medical professional who remembers that he is a human being and brings his full caring self to work. What a difference that makes to every patient that he treats. If everyone received a service like this there would be far less sick people in the world.

214. What you describe feels like love and true care have been put back into medicine and how we care for each other, whether privately or professionally. It is extraordinary and one day it will be the norm.

215. This sounds like a truly amazing place; I can feel the quality of care the nurses and doctors have for their patients and I love that this is an equal relationship between doctor, nurses and patients. This should be studied more, so other places can use it as a template for themselves.

216. Your doctor’s care and healing capacity was present long before he became a doctor. That he recognised his capacity to bring that in full is a testament to his understanding of himself first, Denise. So beautiful to read.

217. Supporting both my parents in hospital recently, it has been so clearly obvious, those that love their work and the people that they care for and those that function at their job. What a huge difference both of these make!

218. Everything you have shared is so simple, and common sense Denise, and yet, absolutely extraordinary on every level. We all deserve this level of care, and also to bring this level of responsibility to our doctors. Incredible.

219. Not only do you appreciate the level of care your doctor has for you Denise, I can also feel how you have that same level of care for yourself and the responsibility to engage in this wonderful healing relationship. You are both beautiful role models of healers and patients where the alchemy of true healing can occur.

     1. This is a key ingredient in this gorgeous recipe. The relationship cannot be one way, it needs the commitment and responsibility of both parties to work – both doctor and patient.

220. The future of healthcare is presented here and it is one that is not based on the latest drugs, scientific advancement or billions of dollars of reserach. It is based on responsibility and relationships. To be a “medical miracle” is something that is worthy of a true in-depth study, yet the answer is you’ve shared Denise is quite simple. The choices you take with the way you live, the care you take and then the care the physician has taken with the way they live and all the relationships with staff and teams along the way provide a supportive platform for healing. This is available to every society and would turn around bankrupt healthcare systems within a very short period of time.

221. The training offered by Universal Medicine in health care and developing our capacity as human beings to live with great wellbeing and vitality is producing some amazing professionals in many spheres of work including doctors, lawyers, company directors, administration and financial services, teachers, health care workers, cleaning, chefs and cooks, builders, you name it. All have in common what is described in this blog about working with people as equals and bringing harmony to the workplace. It is a remarkable phenomenon in this day and age and will become the model to turn the corruption, competition, abuse and neglect prevalent in modern day society around.

222. “I am an active partner in the treatment, management and healing of my disease.” I love this approach Denise. We are each responsible for our own health and I have no doubt that you are described as a medical miracle and suggest that a large part of this is you taking responsibility for your own health.

223. Denise I can feel the love and respect that you hold for your doctor and the truly therapeutic relationship that you have. This is uncommon within healthcare and hospitals yet this amazing example is inspirational and can be the norm. This template for a therapeutic relationship where the patient takes responsibility for their health and the practitioner is engaged and responsive should be the benchmark by which we assess quality in healthcare.

224. I love how you describe the relationship between patient and doctor as a ‘partnership’ as, in my experience too, this is exactly what it is when you can both see each other as equals. How different could everyone’s healing outcomes be if this how their illness was approached? Thank you Denise for sharing how and that this is possible.

225. ‘I know that his humility and his ability to accept and surrender will allow him to KNOW what the next step is when it comes to that.’ This is exquisitely beautiful and speaks volumes about the trust you have for your doctor and the understanding you have for the whole process of true healing.

226. Most of the time, when we present with a problem or illness, it is only looked at in its isolated form, when in fact there has probably been evidence (or symptoms) leading up to the precipitation of the problem. True medicine is without doubt the ability to look at the problem from all possibilities with the knowing that behind every problem is a line of choices that have interrupted the natural harmony we all live in.

227. This blog truly shows how every system can be transformed through love – putting connections with people first, caring for everyone equally and being responsible for our own part when we have a disease.

228. Mum, the level of care you are offered here is mirrored in the way you now support and care for yourself. Isn’t that complete healing in itself? To be able to take personal responsibility along side the doctor who supports you? To provide a balance in healing that means the sum of all parts, the relationship you have with yourself and with the doctor is what supports the body to truly recover, release and repair? As I have watched you over the years transition into a woman who is so strong in herself and willing to keep looking at what is going on in her body, it seems that you are not just a medical miracle but in fact a life miracle – setting an example that it is possible to change behaviours and beliefs and shed these to be simply who we are. That this is living medicine and that we have access to it at any point in time.

229. The depth of trust in humanity that is felt, when care is received from all angles (from all people) when you are a patient in a hospital bed is enormously healing. It can be as healing as the medicine from the intravenous or oral medication. This is the power of integrated medicine.

230. When a Doctor engages the whole team that works with a patient, not only the nurses, but the cooks that make the food, the support team who clean or keep the admin up to date, the patient’s whole life is cared for, and they have a real chance of healing.

231. The comment you make about the care for the person and the whole body being “universal medicine” rings true for me. We are much more than our bodies, and we all know that, so medicine that caters for that is without doubt universal.

232. Coming back to your truly wonderful blog Denise these words spoke so wisely: “My healing is so deep because I have the trust and support to go there, to let go, to accept and surrender to this level of care”. From reading them I got the most tangible sense of the support that has so lovingly held you, and from this place of trust you have been able to simply surrender to what comes next and to offer your body what it needs to continue your healing process. How amazing it would be if every single person needing medical care was offered the same support as you have received.

233. Denise reading your blog is healing. You are indeed the co-creator of your health and you are blessed with an exceptional medical team. I feel that you bring as much to them as they to you. That is true medicine in action.

234. What a profoundly inspiring story and just imagine if this became the norm.

235. Denise, this blog is written with such deep appreciation of life, the lessons in life, the people around us, the beauty and the care that is there for us all should we choose to see it and accept it. It is gorgeous to read about this as an experience for health care and know that this exists and also know that this is the ‘bare minimum’ we all deserve (you/we are setting a high standard as a bare minimum). Sadly not everyone’s experience today is the same as yours, many doctors feel overwhelmed with their demands – however one of the key things in this experience is very much to do with our part as patients and the approach that we bring to the system and to the health care team as well. Thank you for your sharing!

236. This really is true medicine Denise, thank you for sharing this, it is an inspiration for us all. A real change is needed in medicine today, with an all round whole aspect of livingness, cooperation and love with each other, so needed and missed in our health and healing today.

     1. Indeed tricianicholson – It shows that like everything, medicine is about relationship, responsibility, openness and awareness. Very different from simply asking the doctor to fix us without wanting to know the details. What an amazing example of the difference it makes to work together – as Denise has shared, she should have been gone a while ago, but her openness has allowed her to truly understand the depths of her illness.

237. I totally agree with this line “No matter how good the doctor is, without this aftercare the outcome for patients would not be so favorable.” When quality care is taken it does provide the patient to feel and surrender for themselves with an opportunity for healing to take place. There is a difference between being offered a service to the symptom and healing that is the responsibility of the patient. It all comes back to how much the hospital staff are looking after themselves. True care for yourself and your body is the quality you can offer others, in any industry, like what is received at the Universal Medicine clinic.

     1. Nothing beats the olde school approach and bedside manners! There is something very endearing when we have a doctor that takes the time to remember our names, look us in the eye and genuinely ask how we are feeling. But that can only come from someone who already brings that same level of care and love for themselves.

238. How beautiful is this sentence, not because of being a miracle, but the fact that it led you to be a miracle was because you showed them something different than what they are used to seeing… And this, not because you want to show off, but simply because you had felt an incredible way to look more deeply after yourself – which seemingly affects your health and the process of your illness and disease.

239. What an inspiration and how awesome to know that true medicine is being lived on Earth.

240. Beautiful Denise, what you are sharing here is very powerful and brings awareness to the partnership between ourselves and our doctors, and allows true medicine in connection with each other and the responsibility and love we all hold in our healing and daily living. Thank you.

241. Wow, thank you for sharing this experience Denise – miraculous as you have been described. The way of the future is firmly established with your health care professionals, and how glorious it will be when it is ‘normal’ practice for organisations – people first.

     1. Shelley without doubt this will be the “new normal”, a way of equal responsibility within healthcare, one where it’s not about fix me – but about let’s look at this together. I do my part and we allow whatever healing is needed to take place.

        1. Equal responsibility within healthcare is very much needed with patients and health care providers/practitioners all doing their part. This is the only way that we will be able to move forward in health. Anything else has and will fail.

242. A fantastic blog Denise showing the way medicine can go in dealing with the rising incidence of illness and disease. There may not be a cure for every disease ailment, but the healing can come simply at all angles, from the person who places the meal tray down on the table, the cleaner, the porter, the quality someone is showered in, the way a bed has been made… the list goes on… Healing not exclusively from one person, but from all who work in the health care setting. Universal Medicine…absolutely!

243. Great to hear of your experiences Denise, it made me consider how we are all our own healers, how the care that you describe allows our own bodies to respond in kind, and that medical care should always be about facilitating the best way for the body to start to heal itself. For the body is a wonderment that is capable of great things if we provide it with the most loving choices and an environment that is supporting us fully.

     1. ‘..the care that you describe allows our own bodies to respond in kind, and that medical care should always be about facilitating the best way for the body to start to heal itself.’ Well said Stephen, it is facilitation that true healers offer, the healing comes from our own choices to reverse and re-imprint the core issue leading to our ills.

244. Absolutely Susan. We should all be treated like this by not only health professionals but in all of our relationships and interactions.

245. Oh my goodness, Denise, I hope this is on the ward and in the office of everyone involved in your care. This is appreciation that changes lives. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences.

246. What is a good doctor? Among many other items, a good doctor empowers patients.

     1. Hear, hear, Christoph. Our health is ultimately in our hands, and a good doctor makes sure that the support they give is ultimately there to be handed back over to the patient themselves.

247. you present a scenario which if it caught on, could revolutionise health care, supporting the patients, the doctors, nurses, students, all the hospital staff, all their families and all their relationships..

     1. True Annie, in fact if the understanding of True Medicine which Denise is describing caught on, every aspect of human life would turn around.

248. The understanding shown here by your doctor and all of the support staff is that the healing is not just in the physical illness, it is also in our being which in truth is the root of the ill in the first place. Hence why true medicine is not just healing on one level. It addresses our whole being in full.

249. What you have expressed here Denise is such a beautiful example of what true medicine and partnerships, on all levels, can be; let’s hope it permeates into our health systems, on all levels:
     “My doctor is extraordinary. He is also a healer, who combines medicine with psychological and physical care by treating the whole body. I have never had a physician like this before; he is always accessible and I know he is there for me, in my corner.”

     1. Denise’s example of this kind of working together shows me so clearly that the benefits are so much more than simply the sum of the parts. The impact of this kind of team work has ripple effects we do not even see.

250. Partnerships in healing – what an amazing way to offer healthcare and this would certainly up the self responsibility. Denise, you and your healthcare team have shown that this is possible.

251. Let’s just hope this type of Doctor is the way of the future for all our doctors, so that the human race can get pulled back to real health and vitality and live how we are meant to live without so much illness and disease.

     1. Well with articles like this out in the world, we are on the way. One read of this and every medical student would be inspired to consider so much more than their knowledge and expertise.

252. An extraordinary doctor like yours Denise would deliver extraordinary healing to the body. This is one who truly practises holistically. What a great mentor your doctor would be to medical students.

     1. True johannebrown17 – what an amazing mentor this doctor is to medical students. A true redefinition of care and support – working together equally both patient and doctor to truly heal.

253. For myself, I have found that predominantly I get in the way of others truly caring for me. For a long time if I was ill it was like I would retract further and have to get through this on my own as quickly as possible, in so doing there would be a hardness and a pushing. Once I allowed myself to surrender I found that there is always loving support around me too, I just never let anybody in before.

     1. So True Jenny. There’s a lot of support available when we need it, yet because of the (judging) ideals and beliefs around illness and disease there’s many of us in society choosing to withdraw in ‘a cave’, rather than ask the people close to us if they want to support us in some way. A dear friend of mine is actually recovering from a knee operation and last week we took care of her with around 5 or 6 different people. At first she didn’t want to ask people, but when they all chose to come and support, it actually felt so warm and loving. It’s also really lovely to give people the opportunity to care for us. I actually love to be taken care of! More and more:-). There’s indeed a difference since I’m letting people in more and more.

254. I am understanding more and more every day the difference between healing and being symptom-free. Targeting a symptom free body as the pinnacle of a healthy living is looking at us like a smooth running car. But to me healing has an evolving dynamic to it, there may be symptoms or not, and the symptoms may themselves be a necessary part of the healing, it helps us clear the impact of our choices that were contra the natural flow of our essence. How tragic would it be if we could indeed opt for just a symptom free existence and miss out on all that healing brings. And how delightful that every aspect of life can be our true medicine and can offer healing.

     1. A great point Golnaz – healing certainly does come with evolution – a great form of education that the body delivers us to keep on listening and learning. As you say – if everything were symptom free, then we would not feel the responsibility of our choices – which is one of the most beautiful lessons we can learn.

255. What you have shared here, Denise, is so healing for us all to read and to know that this type of loving care is possible in a hospital setting. What you have shared is pure love and connection between people regardless of who they are or what they do. When we work in this way true healing is possible.

     1. Anne wise words, as Denise has shared true healing is possible and her experience in the medical/hospital setting shows this is possible. Very inspiring.

256. I love this blog and could read it over and over because it reveals the truth of what true medicine is about and this is something that the world is in dire need of right now.

     1. Agreed, Elizabeth. And for anyone working in health care, this article is galvanisation and inspiration rolled into one!

     2. Reading this, to me this is what should be normal medicine. The medical system is set up to support us in our healing yet somewhere along the way this has been lost. We all would lap up the treatment Denise received and I’m sure that when many doctors first wanted to become doctors, this was how they thought they would treat patients, or at least how deep down they want to treat patients.

257. I agree Susan and yet why are we amazed when it is natural for us all to express our love and care this way? It is amazing that we would be any other way.

258. What a beautiful sharing Denise. I know who your doctor is and I have heard many such touching stories about him. You say “The miracle for me is finding an extraordinary Physician and Healer whose support and care has allowed me to heal.” But really at essence we are all as you have described, so the miracle is: why do so few live and express in this loving way?

     1. Perhaps Nicola one answer is that the large majority of people do not choose to live from their essence in a way that magnetises such loving care and attention. When we do, perhaps illness takes on a totally different meaning to the consequence of lifestyle choices and the whole quality of care will be there.

        1. Perhaps another reason is that many caring doctors are battered, abused and worn down by the medical system they work in and the training they receive.

        2. Perhaps a third reason is that a lot of doctors are worn down by the expectations of many of their patients who, unlike Denise, demand that someone else fixes them and do not take responsibility for their part of the healing and treatment. Denise working together with her doctor and the team is part of the medical miracle, and I am sure just as the team will have brought healing to Denise, she has brought healing to them.

259. What a fantastic example of how all heath care should strive to be. A truly loving and complete holistic experience.

     1. Steve exactly, this is true healthcare and this should be shared with doctors and the medical community worldwide as well as any person that may ever get sick at any point. i.e we all need to consider this!

     2. Yes I agree Steve, this is a great model for the future of medicine to be based on.

260. We get a glimpse here of what can happen when there is brotherhood and working together as equals.

261. ‘This is an extraordinary relationship: a partnership, there is no “them and us.”
     His care is for the whole body and the person; I am not just a ‘patient’. I am met, connected to, and he sees who I am.’ This inspiring blog shows the way of the future in medicine and doctor patient relationships with no “them and us,” just beings equally growing, healing and learning together, where bodies will be able to regenerate through care, love and understanding equally given and received, and where medical miracles will become the norm.

262. “I am an active partner in the treatment, management and healing of my disease.” This is so powerful Denise, and a great inspiration to us all.

263. I am blown away by the wisdom of each author and commenter on this blog. Everyone is wise and ageless underneath it all.

264. There is much much in this bog to discuss about ‘true medicine’. Simply describing the level of care, and what care means and its relevance to healing is huge in itself. There is a belief about medicine coming from a very reductionist view of science, that all healing is based on technique and care simply relates to doing the technique properly. Yet the quality brought to a technique is just as supportive as its ‘proper’ execution.

     1. “The quality brought to a technique is just as supportive as its ‘proper’ execution.” Wise words, Simon. Quality needs to be as important as execution and can have as important an effect on the patient’s recovery.

        1. Quality is so important. What is the point without it?

265. Also this is amazing what you say here: “no matter how good the doctor is, without this aftercare the outcome for patients would not be so favorable”. Maybe a good investment idea for the NHS in England – to invest in patient aftercare to improve outcomes so they don’t need as much treatment.

     1. agree Jessica, aftercare for patients is so often neglected because of the sheer burden and strain on health budgets, but how would it be if we were to support people during this critical time of convalescence. It is an opportunity for people to unfold a greater level of self-care and nurturing that would support them in true health and wellness in the future.

        1. Absolutely Annie – I think the same theory applies, or should apply, to pre-care; not only the common ‘prevention techniques’ such as exercise and eating well, but also an actual care for our bodies, be that through activity, food, sleep, our habits, our relationships – if we treated ourselves differently, would we get the same illnesses and diseases or on the same scale in the first place?

266. I love this: “I am told I am a medical miracle”.

     1. I love this too Jessica, yet the level of care and support that Denise received ought to be there for every single person without exception; then as a result we would have “medical miracles” in abundance.

267. Denise, this sounds amazing, I can feel how all hospitals could be run this way, I love that your physician knows all the staff’s names and all of their roles, what an amazing difference one doctor can make to the feeling and running of a hospital.

268. And the future of true medicine is bringing this level of care to every family, home, school, business institution, wherever people are.

     1. There will be a day Kehinde where it becomes a part of everyday speak and understanding.

        1. Absolutely, as we all set the foundation of this way of being, it will then be the norm and be part of everyday speak.

269. “I am an active partner in my treatment, management and healing of my disease.” So true Denise. And like you have mentioned in your sharing there are so many aspects which need to be looked at, like lifestyle choices, physical condition and mental condition like moods and ideals and beliefs we carry in life.

270. “I am met, connected to, and he sees who I am. I am not a victim of the disease or the medical system, because I am pro-active in my treatment and care, a co–creator in my own healing.” This is so powerful, often people with illnesses can almost be seen as the illness they have, instead of the person that they are underneath it all. This to me is already a huge support in healing the disease, to know who you are underneath an illness or disease.

     1. Lieke I love this point in your comment very much: “often people with illnesses can almost be seen as the illness they have, instead of the person that they are underneath it all.” Unfortunately that is so true and this identification with their illness made it not so easy to treat them as they didn’t like to see a bit deeper so to speak – it is a form of protection.

     2. I agree Lieke – a very beautiful comment – to be part of the healing – and in part take responsibility – is so honouring of the body.

271. It is a bastardisation of the word to consider medicine to be limited to the treatment, diagnosis and prevention of disease. Medicine is equally about vitality and about evolution. It is convenient for us to accept the former definition however, without considering the expanded version, for it suits our chosen reality that we have no part to play in the quality of our life.

     1. Very well said Adam – “it is a bastardisation of the word to consider medicine to be limited to the treatment, diagnosis and prevention of disease”: medicine started out as a healing practice, maybe it’s time we get back to that instead of just churning out as many patients as quickly as possible from hospitals.

     2. I love this Adam, because in so saying you are writing a testimony of appreciation to Denise for what she has brought to all those who work with her. Her responsible and unboundaried approach to her health and all those she has collaborated with, has allowed for the expansion of others in their roles, whatever they are.

     3. Yes Adam, great point, as the way it is today the doctor could be seen as the distributor for the pharmaceutical companies. A doctor who is a practising GP once said to me that people coming to him demanded the medicine and did not want to hear about the changes they could make to support their health and bring them back into some kind of balance.

272. ‘My healing is so deep because I have the trust and support to go there, to let go, to accept and surrender to this level of care.’

     This is just gorgeous to feel as is the depth of love you received and surrendered to. What stops us from living like this in our daily lives?

     1. It proves we really to need the support of each other to heal. In the end we each do our own healing for ourselves but the partnership with other people in that process is so very important.

        1. Beautifully said Dean. So often we will dismiss offers of help and support when we are unwell, but by allowing ourselves to gracefully accept support is a healing in itself. And when the support is truly caring and loving, and done purely from a place of love rather than a need ‘to want to help’, this also goes a long long way to support the healing process. It is exactly as Denise says: ‘My healing is so deep because I have the trust and support to go there, to let go, to accept and surrender to this level of care.’

        2. Our support of each other is one of dearest things we have in humanity.

        3. Yes Dean, I couldn’t agree more

273. Wow this line really stood out, ‘I know that his humility and his ability to accept and surrender will allow him to KNOW what the next step is when it comes to that.’

     I’ve often heard people say it’s great when someone ‘admits’ they do not know something – so they’re not blagging it but going off to research the answers. Yet I’ve never heard it in relation to the medical profession. I can understand the great pressure for doctors to deliver answers – most of us want to have all the choices that have harmed the body explained and taken away.

     But what’s being offered here is way more than finding out the answer solely through medical research. It’s a connection with a far greater intelligence and wisdom we all share and can apply to the physical world.

     1. Bingo! The power and cohesive nature of humility in a nutshell.

274. Denise, you show the future of medicine, where treatment, doctor and patient work together in harmony and the result is frequently amazing.

     1. Beautifully said Christoph. With this approach there is room for true miracles to take place. This is a total confirmation of how powerful we are when we work together for a common purpose.

        1. Love this Christoph and Vicky, ‘total confirmation of how powerful we are when we work together for a common purpose’. Each person responsible for their part, patient, doctor, nurses, porters, family, friends, each one contributing to the whole is what makes it amazing

        2. Vicky absolutely there is so much room for true miracle. This is beautiful, that there is true change taking place and soon the ripple effects will be felt through more medical professionals.

        3. Absolutely spot on Christoph and Vicky. When there is a union and a true purpose from both patient and doctor, or with any sort of partenrship for that matter, it is truly amazing how powerful the results can be. It is indeed confirmation of the magic of God at work.

     2. Yes Christoph, this is true brotherhood in practice.

        1. I third this comment. ABSOLUTE brotherhood felt afar.

        2. Yes nb we are all in agreeance here!

275. I cannot go past the absolute beauty of this statement – “My doctor is extraordinary. He is also a healer, who combines medicine with psychological and physical care by treating the whole body. I have never had a physician like this before; he is always accessible and I know he is there for me, in my corner.” This to me is medicine once again returning to its true origins, an origin that knows that medicine is about healing and not just curing or managing symptoms. Bring it on I say! We need more doctors, nurses, health care professionals like the doctor described above.

     1. We do indeed! Doctors who work with patients, who are not drained by the system, who care for themselves in the same way they care for others, who are honest and humble and know they are equal to anyone else. That is medicine in reflection.

     2. Yes we most certainly do! To have doctors and nurses taking care of others, but who take care of themselves first can offer true healing to those in their care because they bring all of them to what they are doing. When there is exhaustion, frustration and resentment playing out, this will only go towards having a negative impact on the patient. As you say, this is true medicine.

276. I can see how having a long term illness that will not improve can be very draining on people. They look at it as a weight on their shoulders, something they are a victim of and something that is beyond their control. Essentially, it is easy to give up. But what I see in Denise is and always has been her constant willingness to see the truth. The truth of why she has the illness, what it means, and how to change her life to support the illness rather than simply give up. This amazing approach to illness has led her to meet one of the most amazing surgeons who cares for her beyond belief, and have the support of Serge Benhayon who has also delivered the absolute truth for her to see. This is true healing – taking responsibility rather than being a victim.

     1. Yes, Hannah, Denise is also living the future now as a patient who is taking responsibility for her healing process and is open to true support from the medical profession, friends and family.

277. This blog needs to be shared with the medical profession, medical schools the world over. It is this depth and quality of care that is desperately needed across the world today — for humanity to truly heal.

     1. True Katerina. This understanding about life ought to be a foundational part of training in medicine. In fact a foundational part of training for anything, because we have the opportunity to support another to heal and evolve in every moment of the day regardless of our role, position or physical activity.

     2. Absolutely Katerina – and if we all took this level of care for ourselves the medical profession would have so much less to do and would be supported by its own patients.

        1. Powerful observation Michael, if we took deep care of ourselves as a way of living, we would be working with the medical profession, not against them.

        2. Absolutely Michael there would be less pressure on the medical system as there would less patients and less work for the medical profession.

     3. Yes Katerina, I agree. This kind of care is what everyone should experience in hospital or any medical establishment. And it’s not rocket science. We all have this innate abiltiy to care in this way for each other, (agreed, it comes to more easily to some than others) but sadly it gets lost and forgotten along the way of gaining knowledge and achieving goals. Perhaps it should be one of the first things to put into practice at medical school or any sort of caring role. Or even introduced into primary education. Now that would be a great place to start.

     4. Here here!

     5. Yes it does. Imagine if that was the standard that was laid when first entering medical school.

278. Wow this blog totally blows me away, I have never before read or heard about this level of care being put into practice in a hospital situation, it almost made me want to get sick to experience it, although I do know you don’t have to get sick to feel the joy of such care. I hope this is a blue print for the future and many more doctor /healers and staff like this burst onto the scene so we can all learn to truly heal from the inside out.

     1. I totally agree with you Kevin: “it almost made me want to get sick to experience it”!

     2. Being cared for and supported in this manner does indeed engender a wish to experience it for myself – just as well Denise has written about it with such appreciation and in such detail.

     3. Hi Kevin and Jessica, this can be available in any work place. For example, I have experienced this level of care recently on the building site of my new home. Every person there is committed to ensuring that every last detail is exactly as we want it. Also all the different trades are dependent of the work of each other and they all work harmoniously, respectfully and in consideration of each other. It is an absolute joy to visit them every day and no need for me to get sick to experience this!

        1. Awesome reminder Nicola that this can be the blueprint for not only medicine and healthcare, but any and all industries.

        2. Beautiful reminder Nicola. When we show care and respect to all people we interact with the beauty of life is right there for us.

     4. Absolutely kevmchardy. This should be then new benchmark in healthcare. Imagine if doctors KPIs were to do with how well they related to staff and patients and how integrated and patient focused the care they provided was.

279. Wow Denise thank you for sharing the love and care you have received, this level of true integrated care you experienced is at present rare in the medical world, though in time people will see that this is the only way we can approach true healing – by bringing love and deep care. Thank you for sharing this most beautiful miracle.

280. It is amazing how active you are in your own healing and how you are part of the team Denise. I have not had the experience of needing to go into many hospitals for procedures, but I can feel and have seen others feeling completely dis-empowered by the process and not included in it all. Like you need a PhD in medicine to know what is happening to your own body – but this is certainly not the case, as you yourself have experienced Denise. Thank you for sharing.

     1. Being the director of your own healthcare is so important. No one else has the level of expertise or experience in living in your own body that you do. It makes complete sense that we as individuals must be involved and lead the discussion about our own healthcare as active partners with healthcare providers.

        1. Absolutely Lee, otherwise we are simply handing over our responsibility for ourselves to someone else. Working in partnership is the way to go.

     2. Beautifully said Rachael. We do not need to hand over our power to doctors. When we do so it must be quite challenging for them. How beautiful it is when people work with the doctors and nurses and claim themselves in their own healing.

        1. Yes, what a burden we can place on doctors to ‘heal’ us. It must be so refreshing for doctors when a patient wants to work actively to be part of their own healing. It is so much more healthy for the patient to be actively involved, and the very nature of this contributes to the overall healing.

        2. We are the ones who live in our bodies and who know it best. It is not only a huge giving away of our power to walk into a doctor, dump our ailments on them and expect them to know everything but a massive irresponsibility.

281. This is the future of medicine Denise, and you have the honour to experience it now! Medicine has to go there, to true care, as it is obvious that the conventional methods are not working. This is apparent in nurses, doctors and surgeons burning out and not caring for themselves, thus not able to give the care and support to patients. Your doctor and his team should be the model of what medicine and hospitals will potentially be.

     1. Yes Rachel – Denise experienced the future of medicine. That was so good for me to read as it is now is no theory anymore – it is lived. I hope that this example will be an inspiration for other doctors and hospitals too.

     2. I agree Rachael, this is indeed our future and yet it is so simply available to us all now so why do we delay? I have heard many reports of the loving and highly skilled work of this doctor and the great healing and love he has brought to his patients and their families. In addition to that he will have brought significant financial savings to the medical system and health budget in terms of the healing results and money is something that the “system” and government seem to care more about. His results should be studied because this model of a loving, inclusive and multidimensional form of medicine will answer many of their dilemmas of modern medicine.

        1. There is so much burn out in the medical profession yet I’m sure that when patients are treated like this it is inevitable that the nurses, doctors and other staff will also be treated with a lot more care – including self-care. It has the power to address many of the problems the medical system is facing.

        2. I completely agree Nikki. Strange how Serge Benhayon has presented so many simple and proven solutions that have been shown to be the answer to a multitude of diseases and devastation, and yet only a few thousand have taken them up to date. What has been presented is for all of humanity and yet it seems that the majority of people would still rather suffer than make a few changes to their life and be more self-loving!

     3. I agree Rachael. What Denise has experienced/is experiencing surely has to be the future for medicine, as what the current model is showing us is that it seems to be drowning under the amount of sick people that there are to look after, and medical staff are getting sick due to the sheer amount of work demands that are being put upon them. Whereas by introducing self responsibility, this picture could potentially look a whole lot different.

     4. Absolutely Rachael. Our healthcare systems are struggling and failing on many levels, it is the individual doctors and nurses working directly with patients that have the power to re-imprint and change the entire system.

        1. The strength of numbers in these positions is what makes the chain effect to be felt in the hundreds.

     5. Yes Rachel, this is where medicine inevitably has to go to, because the truth is, medicine not underpinned by a deep sense of care is not true medicine – it can’t be. We have reduced medicine today to a machination that applies A+B to get C in a more complicated and sophisticated form. We have achieved amazing things with medicine, scientific discoveries that mind-boggle, but amidst all this sophistication, which is super important and very needed, we have forgotten the fundamental ingredient needed for all healing which is simply, love. I don’t want to go to a doctor who is stressed to the eye-balls and that doesn’t actually have time to meet me for more than the problem I present to him or her. I want to be met for the human being I am first, I want to be nurtured ad looked after just as Denise has described here. Anything less is not acceptable to be frank. We have made it acceptable and what we have therefore allowed to proliferate is a culture and system around medicine that’s based on function and solutions and not about the human being.

282. ” I am an active partner in the treatment, management and healing of my disease.” Denise so great to hear you are a ‘ medical miracle ‘ given the opportunity we would all take an active interest in our well being but we have been conditioned to wait for the illness or symptoms before we seek medical help, rather that see life as medicine and tune into the bodies Wisdom in detecting any messages the body is sending us, then we are actively responsible for our well being.

     1. Merrileepettinato, we are so responsible and this fact we might not at all like it. This is simply because we had made a choice to not look at our responsibility for a long time. This irresponsible choice can be painful to look back at, and admit that it was our choice. And that this choice has caused much separation and disharmony in life. Yet, even though these choices have been made, we can change, we can see all of the past but feeling the future and the bright new choices we can make, to walk in responsibility and act on what is needed. In whatever way it comes to us. So it is our next opportunity to choose love (responsibility) again, just like it was every time.

283. Everything affects everything, and if we consider this in detail there is a responsibility we all carry. When we choose to bring this responsibility to our lives it certainly makes a difference, then we value our contribution and bring that quality to all we do, you feel differently about life and the quality you work in leaves an imprint for all to feel. Denise has been the recipient of such care and her experience greatly enhanced by choice every staff member had made to be responsible for their part in the whole

284. I love this blog, a simple model for the future in health care actually being demonstrated to us. Each one involved in Denise’s care being fully aware of their responsibility in the care and healing of others, whether they are the cleaner or the physician, no one less than the other but each absolutely essential.

285. The combination of Conventional Medicine and Universal Medicine is a joy to read and your story is certainly miraculous thank you Denise for sharing this so beautifully and that of your amazing physician and medicine for the future.

286. Wow Denise, you could feel from your words how deeply cared for, connected to and nurtured you have been in this environment, by your doctor, nurses, carers, chefs and cleaners. It is beautiful to feel that through your experience and your own commitment to co-creating your healing you are setting a new standard of what true universal medicine and care is. It is deeply inspiring to know that this is a choice we can all make when we take true responsibility for our health and work together in equalness with our medical practitioners. What an exquisite blog!

287. As a health professional this blog is music to my ears. It was gorgeous to hear about all the details of care that are taken by everyone on that ward and the powerful effect they have on the way you feel. I also loved how empowered you feel with your own health Denise. This is a rarity in most cases, as most people either feel disempowered or choose to take a back seat in their care. I feel this is one of the keys to changing the future of health.

288. ‘ I am not a victim of the disease or the medical system, because I am pro-active in my treatment and care, a co–creator in my own healing. I am fully responsible for the choices I make.’ How beautiful is it that this is what you present to your Doctor Denise? A ‘patient’ that understands the power of responsibility.

289. Thank you Denise, you are confirming every thing that Serge Benhayon presents, which is the marriage of conventional Medicine and Universal Medicine is the future of medicine.

290. “My doctor is extraordinary. He is also a healer, who combines medicine with psychological and physical care by treating the whole body. I have never had a physician like this before; he is always accessible and I know he is there for me, in my corner.” This can make such a difference to our well being and how well we heal.

291. The care and love that you received Denise while in the hospital are what everyone deserves and it can only occur when we take responsibility for ourselves.

     1. Yes, true Elizabeth. If we as the patient take responsibility for our own healing process and aren’t looking to be saved or fixed, the doctors and auxiliary staff can feel this, and the lack of pressure or imposition of our needs allows them to be more naturally caring with us.

292. Yes Sally, well said. When there is this level of care that Denise is talking about by the individual members of staff for themselves and each other and their patients, this goes a very long way to supporting someone’s recovery. But as you say we also have a significant part to play in this, in that there has to be a willingness to look at what led us to get sick in the first place, and all too often this is not even considered to be of any significance. Denise has given us a great example by sharing her own unique experience.

293. The care you describe, Denise, is truly “true integrated care”. How amazing if this was found in every activity in life? And to establish that it starts with us all taking that responsibility in everything we do.

294. To me Denise, you are indeed a living miracle when I read this sharing. The appreciation of yourself and others, co-working together is just beautiful. What I love is that there’s one purpose first, which is Love. And working together from that Love. Brotherhood on a small scale, pioneering for the whole world a different way in Caring and Healing. How amazing and beautiful is it that you’re so looked after in supporting you to truly heal the root causes of your illness. I’d love to be updated and read more about this. To me what happens here on many, many levels is extra-ordinary.

295. I love re-reading this blog, Denise, as it keeps bringing the future into the now and it feels so amazing. When love becomes the common denominator in our workplace, miracles will be the norm.

296. And it seems so simple to be able to offer such amazing care, yet instead we choose to get swept up in the drama that society presents. This physician you speak of would be under the exact same level of pressure as every other medical practitioner, yet they are choosing to approach their job and their life differently. Is it working? Yes!

297. Hi Denise, your line about the doctor really stood out for me. “His staff love him, because he knows who they are, he knows all their names and what they do. One nurse tells me that some of the other doctors don’t even know their names.” It doesn’t seem right that a doctor who knows his staffs names and is respectful and genuinely caring of all is extraordinary or celebrated – shouldn’t this be the norm? It reminds me of talk of celebrities who treat people as equals and everyone is surprised and congratulatory. As you have shown very clearly hierarchical structures simply don’t work, care is something that is to be expressed equally for true care to be experienced by the patient.

     1. It’s great point Melinda that what should be the norm now has to be celebrated. We have to ask ourselves at what point did we stop putting people, including ourselves, first? When did not knowing a person’s name not become important…at what point did we sell out?

298. I love the absolute appreciation you have for all involved in your care Denise. This is a reminder to all that no matter what your job is, we all have a role in healing.

299. I just read a reference to “Take care, seek care” which really stood out to me.
     If we take care and seek the same level of care then our careers will be able to offer that in return. The big part is we wont choose to settle for any less than we already offer our selves. Our own responsibility plays an enormous part in our healing.

300. A beautiful, amazing blog Denise, thank you . Such incredible care and dedication from all quarters brings true healing. It is inspiring to know that this is happening within a hospital system that is bursting at the seams. All it takes is the awareness that you so beautifully describe.

301. This is such a beautiful inspiring story Denise good old fashioned bed side manner. A glimpse of how true health care could look in the future.

302. Integrated care has got to be the way forward combining the best that conventional and complementary medicine has to offer. The statistics tell us that modern conventional medicine, as good as it is, does not have all the answers and complementary medicine varies a lot in its quality and integrity. Surely exploring both together and combining the best quality medicine that both areas have to offer to have truly integrative medicine is the best health care we can have?

     1. Indeed Andrew, when true well-being of people is at the foundation the way forward is an integrative medicine combining the best qualities of both conventional medicine and complementary medicine. We are multi faceted beings and every area needs to be considered, honoured and cared for.

303. I also had a recent medical procedure at my local NHS hospital and I was also treated with absolute dignity and respect and the level of care I received was fantastic. I feel this had a lot to do with how I live every day, including how I had prepared myself for the procedure beforehand, and consequently how I was with all the staff on the day. There was a general willingness from all the staff to care and also a palpable sense of relief from them that I was taking an equal part in the responsibility for caring for myself and not handing it all over to them.

     1. My experience also Andrew, when you present with a condition and you are actively engaged in your own healing it takes the ultimate responsibility with them away and we share the best way forward, the sense of burden is lifted as I am not asking them to ultimately heal me, we become a team.

304. Wow Denise you have outlined here what hospitals of the future will look like everywhere one day and it is clear that the change has already begun.

305. I like to highlight this part of your blog Denise: “With this support I am encouraged also to look at the deeper psychological issues and experiences that have got me to this point. My healing is so deep because I have the trust and support to go there, to let go, to accept and surrender to this level of care.”
     Because we are met in our essence in true love and with care, we are supported enormously to heal even the deepest hurts and pains we carry with us from young, as we are able to ‘surrender’ to a source of energy we all innately belong to and are originated from. Being able to do so means we are returning to our true state of being and in that we have to naturally let go of what does not belong to that, and relieve ourselves of the burdens of what we have taken on.
     So the practice where you are Denise is like heaven to me, a place that is supporting people to return to who they truly are, how awesome is that!

306. Wow, this reads like a beautiful dream that can only be wished for to me, so how wonderful that this is true. And yet, having said that (not the ‘wonderful’ bit), why do I say it’s like a dream when really, this could be the experience of every patient everywhere if there was more focus on the responsibility of each and every person in the team to care for and nurture themselves, and then bring this level of care to every relationship. Pie in the sky? I don’t think so. It’s completely possible, as Denise’s experience shows.

307. This is a beautiful honouring of yourself and your medical physicians working together and the miracles you have allowed. What an amazing story and way forward for medicine today, and true caring and love in the process. Thank you for sharing this so clearly.

308. I know your doctor Denise. I know because as I read, I smiled – my recent experience with this beautiful physician was the same. As I lay on the theatre table, he covered me with warm blankets. Never have I felt so cared for as I did with that simple gesture. My body melted, and the dose of anaesthetic required was vastly less than normal for my body weight.
     This man is a true physician, and a role model for me in my own work. His great capacity for love has made a model for the medicine of the future.

309. Working as a team is really powerful – from the cleaner to the doctor, everybody is equally important. And the most important ingredient is the connection between the people – once we are connected, life starts to blossom.

310. Denise, your sharing emanates so much love and acceptance of life, I feel very blessed by reading your lines. It is very inspiring to read when you take responsibility for everything regarding your body and yourself. You state very clearly that you are not a victim, but the opposite – you play an active part in your healing. The level of care you received is amazing. Thanks for all your insights in the process of healing.

311. Denise, this is the medical system we know is possible when true love and care is present. This in itself is a healing and then along with the fact that you were an active participant in your healing rather than handing over your responsibility to the physician and medical team. Without your active participation their skills and love could not be fully received.

     1. Completely agree Vicky. Nothing is left to one person alone. We’re all on this planet together so it makes sense that each one of us contributes to everything.

        1. Beautifully said Elodie. We are all in it together. It is no wonder that there is so much fighting and relationship issues as they are designed to interfere and disturb the natural love, care and harmony that is possible for all of our relationships.

312. I love that you wrote this Denise, you are an amazing woman and your commitment to your healing on so many levels is an inspiration. I am sure the incredible support you have from your physician all the way to every one involved in your care was made possible because of this.

313. Gorgeous example of how we can look after our bodies and ask for support. As you have written ”I have experienced a new level of true integrated care.” Let’s get our hands dirty and explore this Universal Medicine, and see what it offers us.

314. What the first paragraph has brought up: is that no doctor knows everything or every solution.. and so we as patients, human beings, can not put a pressure on a doctor to save us. As they can support and help, but it is never meant for doctors to take the life of a patient over. And so we must stop putting that pressure on them. As this pressure does not make any one more healthier.. which means that equal support is needed from person to person – no matter their occupation or the fear within us.

     1. I like what you bring here Danna, that equal responsibility is needed also: the doctor in his specialist field and us the patient in our own active part – to look to why we have developed our illness. Denise’s example here is a great one.

        1. Absolutely true Rosanna. We are all living examples, when responsibility is chosen. As we know our father, we know our divine love. And so we can not but, take responsibility if we are ill for our living way and accept the love and support that is offered to us – but never less or more. As healing is a humble thing, not a possession or imposition on someone. And neither to give your power away to some one.

     2. Very well said Danna. There is a car analogy that shows how nonsensical we have allowed medicine to become. Let’s say I drive my car very badly – I ride the clutch, or drive with one foot slightly pressing on the brake as I accelerate from the traffic lights. I put in the wrong oil, the wrong fuel, and insufficient water. Then let’s say I go to the mechanic to get it fixed – every single week as I must if I do these things. I don’t stop what I am doing, but I do expect that mechanic to fix me up.
        Take it a step further – I start to blame the mechanic, get furious that the car is never ‘right’, or that they must be stupid that they don’t know what to do.
        If you told this story to your friends at a barbecue, very likely they would say “well what do you expect with the way you drive and treat your car”.
        Let’s apply this same analogy to our bodies, the way we live and the demands we place upon our doctors. Denise has shown us it does not have to be this way.

        1. Great points here and great analogy, we generally do not view our health and our bodies in this way or take responsibility for our part that we are bringing into the consultation room with our health professionals.

        2. When we do, we unburden the doctors, and we lighten the load we place on our body. I really don’t like saying “win win”, but what else can be said about a situation that frees every person in the equation.

        3. I agree Rachel nobody loses out or is left less in this scenario.

        4. Brilliant analogy , the only thing that might frighten us when we read this simple and clear message, is that we have to take responsibility. I can relate to that in my body too. But it is oh so simple, and we had to try to make it look complex , boy oh boy, whilst we always knew that this complexity does not make any sense – and that it is just a distraction away from the known truth. This reveals us – that we know every game we play, and so we can stop playing any of those games in any given moment – when responsibility is chosen. Thank you very much Rachel for this brilliant example of truth.

        5. That feels amazing, each and every person taking responsibility for the choices they make. And it has shown to be amazing, Denise’s story here is exemplary, and on this site there are many more wonderful examples of the healing power of self-responsibility in illness.

     3. I often hear complaints from clients about doctors. The problem is that they are paid by time so they often only have a certain time and must find quick solutions, as such not only the expectation of the client is on them but also that of the system. The more responsibility the patient takes for their health, the easier it will be for the doctor.

        1. Exactly Kerstin! The more we are responsible for our lives – the more all areas in life, including all the relationships with others, benefit from it.

315. This blog just reminds me of the time when I was going to hospital for fertility treatments. I had built a very open and loving relationship with my gynecologist but also with the staff. I was always sharing and open, and this is what I got back. And even when I had a surgery, my experience was beautiful as I felt so much support from everybody and I felt truly held.

     1. Thank you Mariette, what you have shared is extremely important – it is what we put out that comes back to us. The more we take the lead in talking to and sharing ourselves with everyone, being genuinely interested in and appreciative of those who are helping us, the more people respond in return, and this includes people who we may never have spoken to before, because it builds a quality within us that people tune into. In essence we all want to connect, particularly when we are having medical treatment, but in order to receive this level of care and attention, its our willingness to open up, connect and express that makes all the difference.

316. This blog is amazing Denise Morden and thank you for sharing your medical miracle story which it clearly is. Deeply inspiring to say the least.
     I love how you say this is ‘true integrated care’. To me it is obvious that if we are taken deep care of and every aspect is addressed then we got a great chance in our recovery. The million dollar question is Why is this not the normal everywhere in healthcare?
     The good news is it is going on in one part of the world and what a huge difference your physician is making. The staff feel it and not just the patients.
     You are and our world is truly blessed with medical professionals like this amazing man you talk about. Universal Medicine indeed.
     Lets hope this blog inspires others that there is another way to live and help others.

     1. This is a model of care to be widely shared, actively promoted, not through marketing hype, but as the only sensible way forward. The current system does not work. It offers solutions like bandaids, not because the doctors and nursing staff are inadequate, but rather because they and we the patients, think that they must have all of the answers.
        A doctor who is honest enough to say they do not know, who is wise enough to support the patient to seek deep within, and loving enough to know the names of everyone who works with them – that is then medicine of the future.
        Do we follow the lead of this true pioneer? Or do we wait until the current system collapses under the weight of financial overload and the burnout of its staff? How many nurse and doctor breakdowns and suicides will it take? How many people’s illnesses degenerating into a downhill trajectory?
        We have a real possibility for something that will change the face of medicine forever here.

        1. Absolutely here we have a model for the way forward. Do we wait until we are forced to change or are we open to considering other possibilities and making changes now?

317. ‘With this support I am encouraged also to look at the deeper psychological issues and experiences that have got me to this point. My healing is so deep because I have the trust and support to go there, to let go, to accept and surrender to this level of care.’ Denise I am deeply moved by your blog, and how with your willingness to support yourself you have found a medical team that totally supports your healing to a very profound level. If there were more doctors and patients like you and your doctor maybe medical miracles would abound!

318. Well said Elizabeth, it shows how incredibly healing it is when integrity, harmony and love are present. If this is applied to all medical and work places, amazing results like this will be experienced more and more.

319. ‘I am an active partner in the treatment, management and healing of my disease’, This is amazing Denise, you are living in your power by taking full responsibility for your healing process. This line oozes true responsibility through and through.

320. Wow, extraordinary Denise. You are showing us that true healing is possible when we are open to trust and surrender to a deeper level of care and integrity, this is an important aspect for healing. You’ve made incredibility loving choices and accepted the highest level of healing to support you through your journey. You are living the future of true medicine.

321. With all you have shared it is in no way demeaning to state that this experience of fully integrated medicine is not rocket science. It is not people going out of their way to be nice or professional. It is people, from specialist down, being people, with their natural and innate care, and loving support being allowed to be expressed in their work places. What is unique is that there has been an initiative of providing people with the space to be themselves and not forced into being their roles.

322. Thank you for sharing Denise, as this level of health care is what we all deserve and want. To be treated as an equal, loved and respected, creates an atmosphere where you can look at the way you have been living that has resulted in this illness. “With this support I am encouraged also to look at the deeper psychological issues and experiences that have got me to this point. My healing is so deep because I have the trust and support to go there, to let go, to accept and surrender to this level of care.” This is a great example of how Western Medicine can be integrated with Esoteric Medicine so that medical miracles are available to everyone, as this way will become mainstream.

     1. Yes Bernard, this is indeed a health model for the future that we can live now.

323. Absolutely Sally. It shows what is possible and what could and should be normal within health care.

     1. I agree Lee. This is a model for where health care can and needs to go. This blog shows me the power of the ripple effect as one person makes a difference to the whole ward, then that ward has a ripple effect on the whole hospital. No policies no mandatory training, just role models and connection.

324. “I am an active partner in the treatment, management and healing of my disease.
     With this support I am encouraged also to look at the deeper psychological issues and experiences that have got me to this point. My healing is so deep because I have the trust and support to go there, to let go, to accept and surrender to this level of care.” How wonderful Denise, that you are treated as a partner with all those who are assisting in your care, that your feelings and all needs are respected, and that you are involved in the discussions that take place. It is great that the psychological aspects of your disease are also taken into account, and you are encouraged to look at why you may have this problem with your health. This is a great wholistic approach which will be the way to go in the future for true medicine.

325. Exquisite, Denise. All hospital and mainstream medical experiences should be like this… Understanding of the role we play as co-creators of our own healing experiences, as you say, is however the foundation on which such an experience is built. What you have received is but a reflection of the love and acceptance you so clearly have for yourself and the process you are going through.

326. “He works with them all as a team, each one is essential to the holistic care of the person. This shows in the extraordinary way I am treated by all the staff.” Denise, what a wonderful doctor you have, and how wonderful that all the staff who work with him work as a team, using the same loving approach as your doctor to your welfare. How beautiful, in a cold surgery, that you were covered with warm blankets, the attention to detail is beautiful to read. This way is the way that all medicine must go, looking in detail at the care required by the patient, it is in all this detail and wholistic approach that true healing will take place in the future.

327. A stunning blog Denise… you are a living example of the potential of true integrative care – care that involves everyone equally, each with their own responsibility for the part they play in that care.

328. Truly loving what we do is the way of offering true service and healing in whatever work we do. More obvious in medical and health professions and equally important to all work performed. We are all affected by the way each of us cares for and impacts the environment we all share. Service with caring integrity is felt no matter who we are or what we do.

329. I love your blog Denise. You offer a glimmer of potential of how our hospital and health care system could look like in the future. What an incredible service for everyone… Bringing the Care back into health care.

     1. I agree Johanne, a very inspiring blog indeed. It shows the potential of true care – when everyone involved is treated with the same loving care then there is a respect and trust that develops as each person takes responsibility for their part.

     2. An incredible service for patients and staff alike. Patients are not the only people struggling under the current paradigm – as burnout rates in nursing and medicine reveal.

        1. Absolutely, and with equality amongst the team, there is no room for arrogance, jealousy or personal agendas, everyone is there to support one another. I mean, why the hell are we not this a daily choice?

        2. Absolutely Rachel. Which would tend to indicate we all know it’s not working (i.e. it is harming our bodies), and something fundamental is missing from our current way of dealing with health. It is not more procedures or evidence based practice. It is on the met basic level, genuine care and respect for our own health and for each other

     3. This is the future of healthcare already being lived today. An absolute inspiration for healthcare workers and patients alike.

        1. This is so important to appreciate. It is the future of our healthcare. I love that we can say, “that is what health care is all about”. It goes to show we all know what true care is, which also means we know the moment we don’t receive it.

330. “The depth of my healing shows in my recovery and resilience.” – You are a ‘medical miracle’ Denise, and what more testament is there to the healing power in the quality of support and care you receive from your doctor and his team.

     1. I would add Denise’s willingness to look into the root causes of her condition is another essential part of this miracle – the degree to which self-responsibility has played a part in her healing is very evident. This is a far cry from most of us: we rely on medicine to ‘save’ or fix us with no attempt made to examine why we manifested our condition or to consciously work with it. We prefer to be passive recipients and, on occasion, victims of our disease or a ‘failing’ medical system. Denise, thank you for breaking new ground by sharing your experience so clearly here.

        1. Absolutely Victoria. We can’t be victims of our health or a failing system. Denise offers a lovely alternative in taking responsibility and being a partner with her doctor and care team in all that is required to support her – whether that be a warm blanket or an operation. This is powerful and inspiring.

        2. The consideration of the energetic causes of illness and disease is not the norm for most people in our society today. I am sure we have had this deeper understanding in the past and perhaps with the dominance of the church in the middle ages and now evidence based science, we have lost this self-exploration as a natural part of our relationship with illness. It has only been through Universal Medicine that I have been supported to develop my self-awareness and explore the underlying causes of anything that needs healing in my body or being.

        3. Love what you share Victoria as it reveals the true level of responsibility we are each able to bring when we are willing to go deeper and explore as Denise has done, the underlying causes of why we have manifested such conditions to begin with. Approaching illness and disease in this way offers us an alternative to being a victim of our circumstance to one in which we become empowered to being co-creators of our healing.

     2. Yes I can’t help but feel what you have brought to the staff at the hospital Denise is of great support to them in having the space to look after you. Of course this takes nothing away from their choices that follow, which are extraordinary in the hospital system these days.

        1. Yes Simon… For the hospital staff to have a patient who takes responsibility for their healing and doesn’t expect the doctors and nurses to fix them is a massive healing in itself. True healing is never restricted to one person alone. In true healing there is a ripple effect, everyone receives a part of it.

331. How great when we discover we are not victims of the medical system but have an important part to play in it.

     1. Absolutely Carmel! We are responsible for our health and the medical system can only support us to the extent to which we allow that support and actively engage in our own healthcare.

     2. For me this was absolutely freeing Carmel as it gave me my power back and also the trust that I know exactly what my body needs.

        1. This is the key esteraltmiks. When we listen to our body again, we discover how it is wise beyond our imagining. From this confirmation as we respond to what our body shares with us, we can develop trust that we have all the answers we need within us. We can then take this to the doctor or health professional and work alongside them.

        2. Which is why the depth of care Denise describes is so important. With this care we can let ourselves be held and in that surrender we’re more open to listening to what our body is sharing. We connect deeper with ourselves and in the process can let go of massive packages of self-destructive behaviours and patterns that make us ill. But if we don’t receive this level of care, the surrender needed is much more difficult. No wonder most of humanity walks through life disconnected to their bodies — and the suffering associated with illness being so huge.

     3. Absolutely Carmel, to know we bring a depth of knowledge about our health that can work to support those in the medical system is definitely empowering and shows the equal part we all play in being responsible for our own healing and overall wellbeing.

332. ‘All work together with integrity, harmony and love’ – perfect combination Elizabeth.

333. Gorgeous Denise. What a way to be with their patients. I have recently received this level of care and attention when visiting a dentist. The difference is amazing.

     1. I agree Emily, it is amazing when we receive this level of care and this can be the norm. This attention to detail and connection can be experienced in healthcare, retail or any industry if we put people first and make it about connection.

        1. Love that Lee, ‘This attention to detail and connection can be experienced in healthcare, retail or any industry if we put people first and make it about connection.’ how true this is and how beautiful to know that this quality is something we can all equally bring.

     2. Me too Emily — and it’s so much more than getting my teeth attended to. When the physician treats you with deep care, our whole body received an enormous healing.

        1. Totally agree Katerina. I can feel my whole body relax and enjoy it when on the table/chair.

334. Your article has really touched me Denise, because it feels so natural for us to be treated with so much care, respect and responsibility but at present this is a rare experience. The fact that you are healing a genetic disorder is major medical news. It is evident that there is so much more we can do for our own health than we are presently encouraged to do and that an essential part of this is bringing together the advancements of modern medicine, the insights of esoteric medicine, the evident care of the entire medical team and the responsibility of the patient in our daily life choices. You are proof that, when all these parts are united, it is possible to heal genetic disorders previously thought to be untreatable. Awesome!

335. Denise it was such a joy to read that you are told that you are a ‘medical miracle” – how inspirational is that! You are such an amazing role model and I really appreciate that your are not holding back one ounce of you and your way of healing in your lovely blog.

336. Its a very beautiful sentence Jenny isn’t it? A real celebration of the partnership that Denise has with her doctor, which can only have a foundation in mutual respect and mutual healing.

337. Denise, what I feel hugely reading your blog is everyone has a part, be they a doctor, porter, cleaner or attending as a patient, and how when everyone is met for who they are, they willingly and lovingly bring them and their love to all they do, and there is real care in all parts, there’s no hierarchy or levels of importance just different roles to be done and an absolute commitment to doing it and most of all a feeling that everything is part of the whole.

338. Wow what an experience to share. Where was it and who is this doctor?
     It feels as though this situation could be brought to any industry, not just health care. The extra attention to detail in care, consideration and respect makes all the difference.

339. Very inspiring Denise, and refreshing to hear some appreciation for our medical system, which for the most part is not only overfunded and overstaffed, but has to deal with the unrealistic expectations and demands of a society that is not yet willing to do its part.

     1. Great point Adam. Society certainly takes for granted the fact that we each have a responsibility for our health and that the medical industry is not solely responsible for fixing us. Each one plays a part, and the sooner we accept that the sooner we can start reading more and more articles like this one!

340. There are so many expectations on Doctors and seldom acknowledgement for what they bring, beyond ‘fixing us’. It is so beautiful to read your appreciation of your Doctor and the support you received in hospital. To be seen as more than our illness or disease can be truly healing.

341. ‘My doctor is extraordinary. He is also a healer, who combines medicine with psychological and physical care by treating the whole body. I have never had a physician like this before; he is always accessible and I know he is there for me, in my corner. This is an extraordinary relationship: a partnership, there is no “them and us.”
     …. I am not a victim of the disease or the medical system, because I am pro-active in my treatment and care, a co–creator in my own healing.’ – and incredible relationship you have with your physician Denise , one that needs to be the ‘norm’.

342. Thank you for your inspirational blog Denise. This describes true medicine in its absoluteness.

343. Wow amazing to read this and this is how I deep down know it can be everywhere. I love they wrapped you with warm blankets, present all equally what they are doing, feeling all equal, care for your meals and deeply care for you with joy. Thank you for sharing.

     1. It puts it into perspective how important each person is. They might ‘just’ be the cook or cleaner, but when caring for another, all jobs are equally important and have something amazing to bring.

        1. Yes I love that too Emily, it is something I often see that for instance cleaners see themselves less. Yet imagine if there wouldn’t be people who cleaned… the world would be a very different looking place! So everyone is absolutely equally needed and important.

        2. Yep, completely agree Lieke. No one can be less or more as we need all the roles as equally as the last.

     2. Yes, Lieke, we don’t have to be sick or hospitalized to treat ourselves with this much care and attention to detail. Just like I realized today, while being sick, that my body wanted to eat roasted lamb, something I normally only prepare when I have guests. Great to let go of such a restricting idea and put some lamb in the oven.

        1. That is amazing Monika, I love that you shared that. Really going to all the details in caring for ourselves is very important.

        2. Yes, and not only when we are sick, also in our recovering process details and being open to where I am really at are important. I realized last week that when I get better I presume to get better every day a bit more and don’t allow a day with a status quo or a bit of recoil. In presuming that the details in caring for myself can’t be precise.

344. Your words gave me goose bumps when reading Denise. So powerful what you share here, the integration of true care, from the cleaners, porters, chefs, nursing and medical. A health care system that …” is truly Universal Medicine.”

345. “I am an active partner in the treatment, management and healing of my disease.”
     That is taking responsibility for our part in the disease, we are the ones leading this whole process.

346. “l feel that these people love what they do and they do it with love.”
     That is the future of work, the only way we can all work in truth. Work becomes effortless and very joyful.

     1. Agreed Monika. when working this way, working is a gorgeous part of life. Weekends are not waited for and home life is not any more or less important.

        1. Well said Emily, that is living in a true way. Where brushing your teeth is equally important as presenting for 200 people and we realize it is all one and the same.

347. This is a great testimony of the impact of true group work and it’s effects on the participants of the group and the receivers of the services that are offered. This is how each of us wants to be treated whether we are an employee or a patient. We should do research, because I am certain there is impact on the time a patient needs to recover when treated the way you share here. The health care system will benefit also financially.

348. I love this. Until I came across Universal Medicine I had not realised that true living, true responsibility and true integrity are so linked. I had not appreciated that every aspect of life to the finest detail has an impact on the whole fabric of life and the level of accountability this adds with every single choice in life. And every day my understanding and appreciation that life and the quality of energy we choose in it is the best medicine for our self and for the whole of humanity.

349. Thank you, Denise. First of all, I want to work on the ward that you describe! It sounds like an incredible place to both work and be a patient in. I love seeing the words physician and healer in the one sentence because a true physician is a healer. What you are describing here is definitely true medicine, a medicine that is truly universal.

350. I just checked to see if there are any scientific studies about the effect that Denise so eloquently describes. There are a lot of studies about primary care and there are many studies about improving outcomes after surgery but there may not be any study about the effect of love on healing.

     1. Given that we have limited what love means to emotional love, it’s not surprising that there is very few to no studies on it Christoph. That said though it certainly doesn’t mean that it does not exist. In fact Denise’s sharing is the perfect example of the effect of love in medicine and healing.

351. Your specialist meets and connects with you as well as all the staff and treats all equally. This should be the norm. We have to ask what is wrong with our medical system that does not put people first.

352. Denise you are living the future now in regards to where true universal medicine is heading. What an inspiration for humanity to see what is possible if we choose, as you have, to address our illness from all angles and seek true healing, not just a cure.

353. It is very healing to read this account of what a truly loving doctor can offer humanity.

     1. Janet I agree it has been beautiful read what a truly loving doctor can offer humanity. If just one doctor has made such a difference, what would happen to our medical system If we have many more doctors like this.

354. It’s great to read that one man can make a difference, and this is a clear example of that. What comes across is how the staff are working as a team and by the Dr knowing all of their names, that says they matter, are valued and respected. This is how health care should be, in fact any work place for that matter.

355. What you share is beautiful Denise and a model for a true and holistic way in medicine. I couldn’t agree more when you say “For me this is true integrated medicine and holistic care, from the ward through to the procedure and the aftercare and this is empowering for me” and claim your own active part in your healing.

356. Wow, Denise what a testament to what true ‘Universal Medicine’ can do – the combination of being “pro-active in my treatment and care, a co–creator in my own healing. I am fully responsible for the choices I make” and the loving, dedicated care of medical team.

357. It’s always a joy to receive extra-ordinary service in hospitals, GP practices and clinics. And whenever I do, I always show my appreciation at the time or complete feedback forms to let them know and say thank you.

358. Make it about people in every regard, oneself and others equally, and we naturally will and enjoy being caring.

     1. So true Alex. It has a naturalness to it.

359. To read your blog Denise that shows us this is possible and done in our current healthcare system is amazing and a start to truly change what we think cannot be changed because of the costs. It is not about expensive technology but just utmost care and love, and from there responsibility what can bring the true change to our health problems and our system.

360. ‘This is an extraordinary relationship: a partnership, there is no “them and us.”’ Amazing to read and on the other hand why should a relationship within the healthcare system be any different than any other relationship we have? It gives us a sign we have organised healthcare in a way that is not beneficial and healing for all.

361. Thank you Denise for your powerful voice and great contribution, the future of medicine lived now by the doctor you refer to, his staff and all their patients – amazing and a true beacon of light.

     1. When it is done by one and or a whole team it can be done by everyone. It is such living role models that show the world what is possible and truly works, reversing the trend of overload, mechanisation and streamlining by coming back to the essential values from where things fall into their right place.

     2. Sure is a true beacon on light. For others to follow. Denise your doctor and his team have show a great reflection of what is possible for everyone.

362. “My doctor is extraordinary. He is also a healer, who combines medicine with psychological and physical care by treating the whole body. I have never had a physician like this before; he is always accessible and I know he is there for me, in my corner.” This is beautiful Denise and an inspiration to all who work in health.

     1. Lee it is very beautiful to read and as you’ve highlighted this it helps me appreciate the beauty in medicine and in healing through the way the physician is more so than what he does. Quality and care first and foremost. Then the results speak for themselves.

363. “I am an active partner in the treatment, management and healing of my disease.”This is very inspiring Denise, If we are to truly heal this is something we all need to practice. It has become the ‘norm’ to expect the Doctor to fix us without taking responsibility for our own health and well being which puts incredible pressure on the health service to deliver what we are not offering ourselves

     1. Absolutely Alison, we want our doctors to take away our illness but unless we look at how we are living the resulting illness will surely persist and symptoms can at best be managed. The attitude of self-responsibility that Denise has shown means a change in lifestyle is in order, which completes lasting healing.

364. As humanity starts to take a more proactive role, of self responsibility for its health and well-being, in the lifestyle choices and the way we treat our bodies, many more cases of the so called ‘Medical Miracles’,and amazing recovery from illness and disease will be seen.

     1. Yes Thomas, we have a major role to play in our own health and recovery when we are ill. We never can leave this to the doctor or an other healthcare professional. We cannot be fixed like we repair a car.

     2. Basically saying that “Miracles” (medical or others) are the result of choices, i.e. a way of living – brings it all back to responsibility and self-empowerment.

        1. I am coming to understand more and more that what you have written here Alex is the absolute truth of it in a nutshell.

365. “This is an extraordinary relationship: a partnership, there is no “them and us.”
     When we take responsibility and an active (rather than passive) role in our own healing and well-being, its possible to have this partnership, as we have come on board so to speak, rather than handing our responsibility over to Doctors and Medical professionals.
     We do our bit and allow them to do there part, thus building a strong partnership and a recipe for true healing.

     1. Awesome Thomas, the part you’ve highlighted brings a deep appreciation. That the power of healing is in true support and working together as one and in taking part in our own healing process is key. Like you shared not just handing over this responsibility to the doctors and medical professions but by choosing to take an active role in this process and what is more choosing to take responsibility to allow a deeper level of healing.

366. I was very touched by your blog Denise, and glad that you chose to share your extra-ordinary experience with us all. Through your experience we learn that this level of medical care is a possibility and the huge benefits it has for all concerned, for the patient naturally but also for the Doctor and hospital staff.

     1. Very true Thomas – this level of care is really possible. It is so important to let the world know – there is another way to live and to heal, when we are ill.

367. This is an extraordinarily powerful blog Denise and shows the way of the future for medicine where a patient takes responsibility for their disease or illness and works with a physician and the entire health care team to heal. Truly inspiring.

     1. I agree, Lee, what Denise is describing here is definitely the way forward for health care. We certainly need a health care system that is built on a foundation of love. Nothing else will work.

        1. Absolutely we need a health care system built on foundation of love, and that’s the way the worlds needs to go. Otherwise there’s going to be ever increasing illness and disease.

     2. This is what all health care should and can evolve to. The only way this can work is with the complete synergy and the love of everyone involved.

368. This is indeed true medicine. True medicine is Love.

     1. Yes and Love is what is missing from our medical system presently. Thank God for specialists and doctors like yours Denise that are re-imprinting medicine back to its origins

369. It is a beautiful true story Denise of how magically the world can work when we let go of self and work together in brotherhood. It also strikes me that you too are an important factor in the whole story in the way that you support yourself and in your wonderful appreciation of the loving care that you are receiving.

     1. Well said Susan. Anything is possible when we work together, and I’ve found that communicating, supporting each other and doing things as a team can absolutely transform a workplace and the quality of the work that is done there.

370. Returning to this blog I could feel the importance of every persons role in your experience. It shows how it is the quality that is felt and not the role on their name badge. This applies to every organisation as we all have a part to play. Thank you for an awesome sharing, Denise.

371. Wow Denise, your experience sounds amazing. To be a receiver of such care from a whole team seems to be an unusual experience in our current times. Your story is an inspiration and if shared with the wider medical field this inspiration would surely be deeply felt. The possibility of this being our future with self-responsibility, healing and medicine is a real one.

     1. I smile when I feel into the possibility of this way of treating patients, after all it is happening right now in the hospital that Denise was in. The deep level of care and respect for each patient and for each member of the staff held by Denise’s doctor needs to be observed and studied, and then shared with every medical institution, for this must be the future of medicine.

     2. Denise’s story is really one big inspiration. When I consider the status quo in a lot of hospitals, most of the people don’t take really time to connect. The atmosphere in a hospital would be very different, if they would start to really connect like Denise is sharing.

372. “This is an extraordinary relationship: a partnership, there is no “them and us.”” Delightful to read. When there is truly no separation and no delineation of ‘them and us’, when each person brings their all to the situation, when everyone chooses to serve the all – miracles happen. Because we are the ones that either block or support the daily miracles to happen. In other words with every choice we either harm or heal.

373. Denise, the miracle is there for us all to live and receive experiences like yours when we take the decision to be responsible for our own lives. This is felt and honoured by the medical profession and thus we can all receive true medicine. It is the model for the future.

374. How great it is to have hospital staff who are not nameless uniforms and who introduce themselves to patients. It seems they are also recognising that treatment includes journeys between rooms of treatment, X-ray, operating theatre, and how they are treated during the their stay – the whole experience. What a beautiful role model for hospital care.

     1. Not just for hospital care but for all of life – everyone has their role to play, from the cleaner to the admin staff to the doctor or CEO. We all contribute and bring what we uniquely are and can bring to the all that we are all a part of.

        1. Agreed Carmel and Gabriele – the contribution that everyone brings is intrinsically important and equally powerful. This is not yet recognised in our society as we compete to get to the ‘top’ and don’t appreciate the amazing qualities we have to bring – the fullness of every part is needed, or there can’t be a whole.

        2. I love the equality in this and how no one judges anyone to be less or more because of the role within the building they play; each person complete and full, knowing the importance of their task – but much more – claimed and knowing in their own quality and the healing this in itself brings to others no matter what they physically have to do. Simply and gorgeously divine!

        3. Yes, that every member of staff that the patient comes into contact with along the journey, introduces themselves, is so unbelievably simple and yet makes a profound difference on what is usually a pretty unpleasant experience.

375. What you are sharing Denise is an account of brotherhood in action. It was beautiful to read. To know that a whole ward is working in loving harmony together with the patients is truly, truly inspiring and warming, yet it feels entirely natural. Through the sharing of this experience we can learn that the way we interact doesn’t have to be the tense, withdrawn, competitive, stressful, exhausting and debilitating experience that is considered the norm. Thank you for sharing.

     1. Beautifully said Michele819 – it does feel entirely natural. Sadly, we have drifted away form this natural way of being, we have drifted away from brotherhood and allowed the tense, withdrawn, competitive, stressful, exhausting and debilitating to become our way. This highlights that we can choose our part in these interactions, that we can bring love, harmony and stillness to interactions showing the way to a different experience.

     2. So true Michelle819, when true brotherhood is in action, anything is possible. When we choose to actively work together in harmony and love, miracles occur naturally.

     3. Very true Michelle – I like that you highlight the point – our interactions don’t have to be tense. This is very inspiring – let us be more playful and more light in our relationships.

376. I love this line as a definition of a doctor, not just treating the whole body but the whole person. “My doctor is extraordinary. He is also a healer, who combines medicine with psychological and physical care by treating the whole body.” Another approach we could take in health care is to have another person that works alongside a medical doctor trained in esoteric medical counselling- a form of counselling that does not lay blame on genetics but explores healing with the patient beyond the medical treatment required.

377. Denise, to me you describe not only a miracle doctor but a miracle hospital. People ought to be asking where is this hospital so they can ask how a patient can report such an experience, how this hospital does what it does, and also why they do things the way they do. Something tells me as well that the level of care you are receiving does not cost more to deliver and possibly has unseen benefits that at the end of the day cost less.

378. Great to hear that you are ‘modern miracle’ Denise. Could not have happened to a lovelier person!

379. Wow. What a gift to receive such a level of service. And what is interesting is that my recent experience of spending alot of time in the hospital with my Mum is that the primary caregiver, the Doctor who sits at the top of the tree, is excellent, but it does not have the joined up thinking all the way through to every nurse, caterer, porter. Often these are the people that the patient spends more time with, and when the love is lacking it can put alot more stress on the patient which is never going to help the recovery. I wonder how much the Doctors take responsibility for all the staff in their unit as opposed to letting them get on with it – this is a huge part of the overall treatment.

     1. This blog shows the power of one person can never be underestimated; that it only takes one person to be responsible for consistently bringing that loving reflection for many others to also make loving changes…and that one person can be anyone, anywhere on or around that tree. We each have a responsibility for the quality we bring to our workplace.

380. Denise this confirms powerfully how one person can make a huge difference. The beauty of what you share is it inspires and offers us the possibility that we can become extra-ordinary human beings in our every day and where-ever we work or play.,

     1. Absolutely kehinde2012. One person can change an entire system and the power of connection with self and others should never be underestimated. Change occurs through our relationships with people.

     2. One person – it needs one spark to light a fire that emits more sparks to fire up more people who carry that flame into the world.

        1. It just needs that one spark to light the fire, which then spreads to fire up more people.

381. I’d actually love a doctor to say to me they don’t know what to do next, because in that saying I would know that there is a deep humility there, a willing honesty and that to me is as important as any knowledge. The humbleness and deep care of your physician shines through this article Denise, and that is what we should wish for more than any skill, medical training is of course important, but not at the expense of the being taking on the training.

     1. I love that Denise’s doctor was able to honestly say he didnt know what to do next too Stephen G. The humbleness melts me, it gives me the feeling of ‘we are both in this together, and given space, together we will know what to do’. It feels very empowering.

382. What a beautiful sharing Denise and it shows too when we are treated with the care we deserve we can allow ourselves to feel that we are precious and tender beings. Returning to that state of being is already a healing on its own and opens up a pathway to further deepen that connection and with that a deeper healing of oneself.

383. Denise I love how you said that you are a co-creator in your own healing, it gives a beautiful sense of taking responsibility for your choices alongside accepting help and support from conventional medicine, not trying to go it alone.

384. Dear Denise – Thank you for sharing so beautifully your heartfelt and very inspiring experience of True Medicine – you are a living miracle.

385. This is beautiful Denise. When I was at the end bit of the blog, all of sudden a very interesting thought came to surface this one: ‘ahh’, when this came up I actually realized that there is no ‘ahh’ , as you, like any person, is responsible for there own being, and so the whole ‘victimhood’ does not exist, as we all have a responsibility in how we live and have taken care of our body. This totally exposed for me that going into this victim mode (energy) is actually a poison to our body as it pretends that we got no power, whilst actually we have and we are responsible for our whole body and health there is no ‘ahh’ and so the same counts when we carry an illness or disease in our body.

386. Denise, no wonder people are calling you a ‘medical miracle’! Your partnership approach to your health care is something that is sorely missing in the world today, hence the rapid rise in preventable chronic conditions. Working in the healthcare system I see lots of staff who genuinely care but are stressed out by the pressure on them to get through the sheer bulk of people presenting for treatment. The balance is often missing all round – from organisations, the staff and the patients. Your experience is a standout and one that I hope will become more commonplace in the not too distant future.

     1. What I find inspiring is that because of this one doctor refusing to get caught up in the pressure of work and in focussing on his quality he has changed an entire ward where everyone feels supported and are themselves more fully, meaning not only are they less stressed but that their quality has also become a focus, which in turn only supports the patient more fully to connect to their own in turn. Everyone on the ward is aware of their impact on their relationships and is taking responsibility for themselves. This ward, because of one person, is now a collective place of joy! Wow!

387. Denise on one hand your experience sounds like a miracle and yet on the other hand it feels like yes this is exactly how Universal Medicine is. This is the experience everyone person in health care should be offered. There is a deep connection to your own level of responsibility to your well-being that supports such a beautiful reflection back from your very loving doctor and the entire group that care for you. A truly inspirational reflection.

     1. I agree Sandra it is a miracle and because it is not the way for most people addressing their health issues it is called this. However it is absolutely possible to develop a healing and responsible relationship with our medical team when true care and consideration of the whole body is part of the equation and that is on the patient and the doctors part. When it is accepted that Universal Medicine and conventional medicine along with responsibility are what bring these miracles this kind of health care system can become the norm.

     2. It is inspiring and it’s what is possible for everyone if all of humanity were to take responsibility for how they treat their bodies and what they do with them. Our medical system could then focus on working with patient that have non-lifestyle related conditions, instead of the majority of lifestyle related, and preventable conditions.

388. What has scared me in the past about having to go to hospital was not so much the physical pain itself, but not being met as a human. This has changed now that I meet myself every day and inspire others to do the same. Miracles do happen then.

389. Thank you for sharing Denise, as it is otherwise unheard of that such a level of care is actually available today. Of course this level of medicine is true medicine and what should be the norm. So, as it is available, conventional medicine can now catch up to what is possible, and we can then watch and see our current state of health as a humanity, transform.

390. What you describe here, Denise, really is the role model for the future! The interesting thing is that it was not about the advances in medicine that made all the difference for you, but the love and care that was present towards you, as well as among the staff, which allowed for a certain atmosphere in the hospital.

     1. I love your observation here Judith. “Not the advances in medicine but the love and care that was present” which made all the difference. The way of the future is not more technology but love…

391. For this Doctor to offer the level of care that he does to his patients, and the way he is with his staff shows that he has a level of care and love for himself that allows him to have the capacity to be this way with others.

     1. And confirmation that everything starts with us … self care and self love when lived gives us the capacity to be truly loving and caring to others.

392. Western medicine and complementary medicine (esoteric healing) is a true marriage for healing and neither one is better or superior in what they offer. When combined they provide a wholistic model of healing that is missing in most treatment plans today.

393. ‘My healing is so deep because I have the trust and support to go there, to let go, to accept and surrender to this to level of care.’ This is so beautiful Denise and shows the true power of Universal Medicine.

394. Absolutely gorgeous to read a celebration of the qualities of a Doctor and not the number of achievements or qualifications he has. Thank you Denise.

     1. So true Jane, so often the achievements and qualifications doctors feel they have to strive for is not about deepening love and care but to advance one’s career and to have clout and authority amongst peers. There are many doctors that may not want to partake in this but may feel to be taken seriously or even just to keep their job that these achievements and qualifications are a necessary part of the job.

        1. Maybe they are so tired and are simply functioning as doctors, just doing what needs to be done to get by and have lost sight of the depth of their own love that is there to support and care for their patients?

395. I also feel the power of appreciation with every point of connection you shared with every person Denise. This appreciation is a vital in building loving and honoring relationship with each other. As in appreciating the true power of another confirms the greatness of the Love each and every one of us are.

396. Deeply inspiring story to read and one that many carers will want to know about if it is possible in one place it is possible anywhere.

     1. what a great catch cry ‘…. if it is possible in one place it is possible anywhere.’ There is so much to be inspired by in this account. Patients that are interested in a level of care and treated with dignity as described by Denise, staff that like the patients and want to engage with them, doctors that treat the whole person, medical results that defy the odds, a place where there is equalness between staff- where the staff know the importance of their role. All patients, carers and healthcare workers deserve this and more.

        1. All it takes is for people, patients and staff on all levels to start saying “yes this is what I want and this is what we all deserve” – such an inspiring account.

397. This feels like such a deep and amazing experience Denise. How blessed we all are to know that this is possible in the world.

398. Incredible. This is true working in partnership with each other. Everyone getting ‘self’ out of the way and instead making it about love and care. Beautifull and inspiring. Your story needs to be shared to all. It would be lovely to hear about the changes you have made since the first diagnosis.

     1. I agree Vicky. Denise’s story is quite a remarkable one. I would love to hear more about it…

399. Denise an extraordinary account that will one day be ordinary.

400. It’s saddening to think that we can work closely with people and don’t even know their names. But it’s a really simple act that builds respect in the workplace. It feel like this particular ward that you were on had done a lot of work together working on that, not in a hard slog kind of way but through the very loving and playful examples that you have shared.

     1. It’s an absolute tragedy when you really stop and allow yourself to feel it. I recall feeling like I was just a number without any real connection when I was a patient of a ‘top’ obstetrician during my first pregnancy. In hindsight I should have said something, which could have possibly made a huge difference to him and how he related to future patients.

     2. Very true Jennifer – the simple act of taking note of everyone’s name already re-orients us to the fact they are people and an integral part of what is going on.

401. This is truly gorgeous Denise. What a treasure and an inspiration your doctor is. The level of care taken by him and therefore each member of staff encourages healing on every level. How wonderful to be treated with dignity, care and respect instead of feeling like you are just another patient with just another disease.

402. Thank you for sharing Denise. Your article evidences how important and incredible aftercare is, and how a patient’s hospital experience can be transformed by the actions of the doctors in between the medication and operations; the extra mile they can go to to connect and communicate with patients, and make sure that they’re cared for in all areas during their time there. Needless to say doctors cannot take care of every patient like this themselves, which is why team work is so important and the relationships that the doctors have with each other, the nurses and other medical staff are vital.

403. This statement should be front page news of every newspaper and magazine worldwide and be studied by medical schools – there is a huge key here for revolutionising the approach to illness and disease.
     “I have a genetic disease that should have killed me 10 years ago, yet now my tissue is regenerating, and with the medical help and the letting go of issues, my body is able to heal to a new level”.

     1. I agree Stephanie, this is extraordinary and it begs the question, is the world actually interested in true healing? Or are we keeping ourselves busy with distraction and “near enough” truths, so we do not have to look at the true truth?

        1. To me this is a fascinating story, and it is indeed sensational although not perhaps in the way the media like. I do agree with you Judith though, there are many of us who do not want to own our choices and our ill health and so avoid seeing the truth when it is presented.

     2. This is true, Stephanie there is much that could be studied and learnt from this approach to healing and there many other people who could contribute with the same experiences.

404. A great testimony of true medicine and medical care. It shows us the simplicity with which we can transform our current health system from an often uncaring to a truly caring one. No big medical reforms needed, no complicated theories and concepts about how to improve the medical system, just simple daily love and care and connection with each other. Life is so simple and so easy when it is lived from love.

405. Denise – this is so beautiful to read. What you share here is the footprint for the future of medicine – the integration of medical science and energy medicine combined brings true Universal Medicine for all. The way to prevent our health services groaning and collapsing under the sheer volume of multiple illnesses that are increasing daily. You are a living testimony to the fact – there is another way. Thank you for your sharing.

     1. What a beautiful comment Stephanie. It is true that what is presented here is another way for medicine to exist in the world.. Perhaps one that does not cripple the healthcare system, drain our doctors and bankrupt our countries.

406. Denise this is beautiful to read and I’m sure anyone that reads this would hope for the same level of care for themselves and their loved ones. The only question is, why is this not our norm?

407. Extra-ordinary quality of care Denise, and confirms that it can be this way and one day will be the new medicine in all hospitals. Being cared for in this way truly heals and offers a reflection of true care for all who walk into that hospital and receive treatment from that Doctor’s team. I witnessed something close to this in Accident and Emergency. The junior doctor introduced herself and connected with the patient. Everything was done with care and tenderness, the way the doctor spoke, listened, examined the patient. Then I observed similar qualities in other staff: nurse assistants, nurse, porters all related to the person, not the patient. I remember the porter knowing we needed a wheelchair, not waiting to be asked and giving us the shortest route out of A&E and to the car park, as it was winter and late at night. For true medicine to work it has to be a whole team approach, everyone working together in the interest of the patient.

408. I love what you have expressed here Denise and can feel how the level of responsibility you have accepted is a very important part of this package that is True Medicine. You are a pro-active partner in your healing and this I guess is fairly rare. How amazing it is for a medical team to meet and be met by someone like you, who knows there is no ‘them and us’ and who loves herself enough to choose a team of professionals who reflect that back to her. This acceptance of responsibility and pro-active self-loving approach is an equal part of the future of True Medicine.

     1. Very beautifully said richarmills363. A recent experience with my GP and a specialist confirmed to me that being proactive in my approach to my health is welcomed by the medical profession. They are both fully supportive of the tests my Naturopath requests as part of my regular health checks and say to me, whatever you’re doing, keep doing it.

     2. Love your comment Richard – your appreciation is beautifully expressed and the love is clearly flowing.

409. As others have already said – the future of medical care – today. How awesome. Thank you for sharing this Denise Morden.

410. We tend to sit back and say “wow – amazing” – sometimes forgetting that this is the least of our normal if we let out what is deep inside us at our core! How beautiful that people start letting their true faces shine.

     1. Well said Felix – we tend to automatically give our power away to the ‘out there’ instead of the ‘in here’.

     2. Lovely Felix – the wow of what Denise is sharing is our minimum level of normal when we live so connected. if we are blown away by this minimum, imagine our response when we discover the true depths of what is waiting to be uncovered?

411. It feels like this doctor is living true to who he really is, he is not shut down from life or burdened with past hurts, he is free to love and be love as he was naturally intended to be.

412. The future of the new normal of medical care has arrived.

413. Absolutely… living proof of the healing and power of applying the principles of Universal Medicine and transforming lives because of it.

414. Wow, what a deeply stunning testimony of the loving way your doctor works and the ripple effect this has had on the wards in which he works. I look forward to this being the future of medicine, and the medical miracles that come from this, the norm.

415. Wonderful!

416. How often do we ‘think’ that medicine is what we take to settle a symptom or to ‘cure’ a disease. Everything about what you have shared Denise as you say is medicine and medicine for everyone involved. It’s a real celebration of the power of relationship and how healing a medical environment can be.

     1. The difference being that this medicine has not the intention to ‘fix or cure’ but to truly support our being in its healing process. Universal Medicine is true healing.

417. A beautiful reminder of the responsibility we all have to live our Heavenly way, as all that we do then offers a Heavenly reflection that this is who we all are. It matters not if we are the doctor or the patient, a cleaner, nurse or a cook, we all hold the power to reflect our Heavenly way through the Heavenly space we hold.

418. Denise, I am so inspired by your blog! A living example of what medicine could be! Love how you mentioned the doctor that worked with you and how the whole ward where he works has been transformed because of his approach to connecting with people. Evidence of our true power.

419. Thank you Denise for sharing such a beautiful story, about your amazing healing and the loving integrated care given to you by all members of the staff, this is Universal Medicine in its truest form.

420. Thank you Denise for sharing that the way of true healing is one where doctors, patients and nurses are an equally vital part of a team with love, care and support during the healing process. It is so inspiring to see that this powerful way is being lived today.

     1. I agree, Carola, Denise sharing is showing how everything has an impact on the healing process and if this is more understood and respected in our world healing and medicine can get to another level.

        1. Absolutely Kerstin. Accepting responsibility for how we are with whatever we do is what will bring great power to all our services in this world, to support our healing and evolution as a humanity.

421. When the whole team of people is working together, attending to their piece of the process, it is more than just a lovely experience, it is a healing experience and is very powerful indeed.

     1. What you and Denise are describing here Matthew is true brotherhood in motion. Powerful and healing for all.

        1. Wow! How simple life can be when we move and live from an innate quality within
           “true brotherhood in motion. Powerful and healing for all”.

        2. Yes Stephanie it is true, the quality we are in at any given time is the most important thing we have to consider.

     2. Absolutely Matthew – it shows we have a responsibility at all times, no matter what role we are in. And on this occasion – working together is true medicine, is very healing to all and really does represent how someone’s perceived diagnosis of an illness can be changed simply by how we choose to live. Yes – Denise should have passed away 10 years ago, but the care she takes in her body, and how she now is with others, means that she is defying conventional diagnosis simply because she has taken more responsibility in how she is living.

        1. My question is, why is this not ground-breaking news for the world to sit up and take notice of?

        2. It levels the playing field for all the different tiers of staff involved in Denise’s care – creating equality and encouraging responsibility in spite of the differences in the obvious hierarchy that prevails. And love the way you have added Denise’s responsibility to the list Hannah – that makes a huge difference when everyone (including patient) is pulling together.

422. Wow, this feels amazing and this should be our normal. It shows how we are all part of the big puzzle, from the cleaner to the doctor and from the nurse to the kitchen staff. All equally part of the care and love, all equally part in what they bring.

     1. I agree Mariette that this is amazing and living this amazingness should be our normal. This highlights how we all can bring power to what we do and that is of equal importance, no part being greater or lesser than another, as in working together what has been offered here is for another to feel support, care and love from every angle.

     2. Yes Mariette, our new normal for sure. It is all about people, not the job title. In the ‘great jig saw of life’ we all have an equally important part to bring to the whole.

        1. It is all about people and when we take away the focus of the job title and what somebody does, then this feels so lovely. I love going to work and just be me with everybody and not being busy with oh that person does this or that, but to just connect and be with each other. It feels very liberating. But then I still have people at work that take on this role of ‘I am important’ and they have this big Berlin wall around them. This can still trigger me I notice and I close off as well. I have this especially with male managers, so learning to also stay open with them.

     3. I love your emphasis on equality here, when we have that as our foundation and truly work together as a team, with everyone being honoured and enjoying what they do, miracles can indeed happen.

        1. Yes me too Judith, when we make life about people it knocks out any inequality, and comparison and brings harmony and unity.

     4. It sure does feel amazing Mariette – this is true brotherhood in action!

     5. Well said Mariette. Similarly in all families, workplaces and relationships everyone is part of the puzzle, everyone contributes to the bigger picture of things and if people don’t work together then the quality of that relationship or project is not as incredible as it can be.

        1. I agree Susie, when we appreciate our part of the whole, we also start to see the importance and beauty of everyone else’s part.

423. I appreciate the point you have made about looking at and dealing with the psychological along with the physical disease, it’s an evolutionary way to deal with illness and disease.

     1. Yes Joe and my feeling is that in the future, when the world catches up with the presentations of Serge Benhayon and understands what Universal Medicine actually is, ‘dealing with the psychological along with the physical disease’ will be considered an unquestionably necessary aspect of the healing process.

424. Denise, reading your article I could feel the beauty of people loving what they do and loving and supporting others. Whether in a hospital or corporate setting, on a farm or in a mechanic’s shop, what you share can be implemented the world over, when people, community and connection with others come first.

     1. Leigh beautifully said. There is no end to where we can bring love and care to what we do. When we begin to live in a way where, as you say, ‘community and connection with others come first’ we will then see a massive change in way we work and as such the quality of what it is we then offer.

        1. Dear Carola,
           Niggling, gently nudging me is this innate sense of pure loving grace that is constantly adjusting this quality of what I offer, and the quality in how I do so.

     2. I was struck with that too Leigh. How the way the care, support and interraction between the people described by Denise created a space within which everyone would feel special, cared for and nurtured, how this would naturally be healing and how supportive and empowering it would be in all areas of life.

     3. Agree Leigh, this model is one that could be applied to any organisation.

     4. Isn’t that the thing Leigh – and others – that we actually LOVE taking care of other people and Love them deeply so. Yet, we’ve constructed a life where we hardly choose to feel, let alone feel how much we indeed care and love each other. It’s not what others did to us what we’re fighting, but the actual fact that we’ve stopped choosing expressing our own Love. No wonder that the world has become such a cold place where comparing, greed, corruption, abuse is for many, many people the accepted norm. Ingrained behaviour where it appears that there’s no way out of the misery. Where there is. Making True choices, choices that stem from connection to heart and body, will build a foundation on which to stand. Once I thought I knew who I was, now after years of making different choices I can share that I’ve fooled myself for a long long time. Being with me and feeling my own Love and Warmth is so so yummy. And there’s only one who can do that for us…..

        1. Dear Floris,
           It is so sad that we spend our lives desperately seeking love from another, when, as you say, it is only us who can give what we seek.. Then it is so simple and natural to love others as we love ourselves.

        2. It’s indeed very sad Leigh. If we would all be able to observe life, it’s like a bad movie where we’re not finding what we’re looking for – whether we indulge in giving up or in lots of drives. Both don’t have a body that is cared for and being able to express Love. It’s indeed very sad that we’ve lost ourselves so deeply that most of us would fight this very fact.

     5. Love your comment Leigh and the the way you expand the beauty of people loving what they do and lovingly supporting others, to include all situations.

     6. Beautifully expressed Leigh – everything we do affects everyone and everything whatever the work place or community we live in.

     7. Absolutely Leigh. Implementing these principles whatever the service or work would truly serve humanity.

425. It was great to read this, I loved that every staff member you dealt with introduced their role, as it showed a deep level of regard for your care and also a deep level of regard for their own role, which is equally important, for it is not possible to provide deeply healing care if we don’t value what we bring in our role. This blog shows the importance of connection between staff and staff, and staff and patients, and how everything matters. It would be much better for us to focus on the quality of the care provided (also for staff, not just from) and how this can improve outcomes for patients.

     1. Yes great point Stephen, to feel yourself, as too it is to feel from staff members, to be providing a genuine care and willingness to serve allows a level of quality that is just not seen by those whom just see their work as a job.

     2. Stephen I loved that every staff member introduced their role too but you nailed exactly why I loved it. Who wouldn’t feel inspired and held by a person walking into a room and very naturally explaining to you what the purpose of their role was, with the intention of simply meeting you in the knowledge that whatever there role is, we are all equal as indeed all our roles serve a purpose in the greater whole?

426. A beautiful sharing and a real understanding of true medicine and the way it can be, with everyone taking their responsibility to a higher level and the amazing results from this. Thank you for sharing this Denise and showing the true way for medicine for us all and the real miracles in life as you show us here.

     1. Yes tricianicholson and what was great to read is how Denise said ‘I am pro-active in my treatment and care, a co–creator in my own healing.’ So she too was taking full responsibility for her part and not just turning up to be fixed.

427. This is a deeply inspiring blog and represents a true model of integrated health care – a method that although currently not the norm, is absolutely normal and natural and the way we will eventually all return to.

     1. Yes Angela, you echo my thoughts on this inspiring sharing by Denise.

     2. Absolutely Angela – Denise’s blog represents a true model of integrated health care – the key ingredient being pure and simple L-O-V-E!

     3. Agree Angela, we have to return to this holistic approach, as brilliant and ever expanding modern medicine and the medical specialists are in our society, they cannot keep up with the increasing illness and disease rates, we need to become proactive and take a more responsible approach towards our own health and well-being.

     4. Agreed Angela, and it shows just how possible it is to have relationships built on equality, trust, care, love and understanding and how all benefit when we have these qualities and make it about people. I love it when Denise shares how her doctor is honest enough to say he doesn’t know what to do next as well. When we let go of control and are truly open to receiving or surrendering, WonderFull and magical moments can take place. It gives more room for Love.

     5. And because it is so natural it cannot but be recognised for what it is even against any possible resistance. We know truth when we see it and on the long run the real deal will prevail.

428. Denise the power in your blog is clear for all to feel, no longer can we claim we don’t know what true medicine is. For as you say working together with your doctor you are “an active partner in the treatment, management and healing” of your illness. What an inspiration showing not only the depth of care from a true healer and doctor but from the way we are with ourselves and the responsibility we take for our health.

     1. Absolutely David, the way Denise approaches her health and healing is very empowered and actively taking responsibility for the parts she can, and with that allowing and supporting the Doctors and Medical profession to do their part, both parts equally important in making up the whole, this is true holistic Medicine, or Universal Medicine.

     2. Absolutely David! There are so many amazing aspects of health that Denise has exposed here. Being an “active partner” in our health and taking responsibility is huge. It is OUR HEALTH, who better to inform and guide OUR HEALTH than us? We have a vested interest in our health outcomes so we must take responsibility and be front and centre with decisions about our own health care. Beautiful and inspiring blog Denise.

     3. Beautifully put David. The inspiration comes from the quality of love, quality of care and quality of self responsibility. There is nothing in Denise’s account that is heavy or self pitying. Simply a through and through appreciation of what is being offered and a through and through appreciation of herself.

429. A story that all future patients will be able to tell, one day.

     1. indeed the future lived today

430. That feels like how the future of all medical interventions can be Denise, this can be the new normal for us all to experience. It is lovely to read how well you were cared for.

     1. By defining a new normal, it makes it more accessible. Both patients and staff that work there will feel a difference, and that gets communicated as they go about their lives… and the new normal starts to grow as a lived possibility.

        1. Yes I love this too. Because this “new” loving normal is now a lived reality on a daily basis for a few, it becomes a tangible reality for many. This account of Denise’s is so inspiring!

     2. This is what I felt too gillrandall, this is the future of medicine. The biggest changes in the future of health care will not come through technology but through people and how we interact and view health as a partnership and support, not going somewhere to get something fixed.

431. What is amazing here is the beauty and simplicity of the patient working with the doctor. Of each person taking complete responsibility for their part. Mum, I have seen you go from strength to strength in your illness, and allow all the hardness and sadness to start to drop away. This was only possible by you surrendering to what was happening to your body, and replacing the anger and frustration with love and care.

432. I guess we are ready for ‘medical miracles’! 🙂 Universal Medicine – How great is that?!

433. Such a beautiful sharing Denise. This is how medicine can be – and should be. True caring and true healing.

434. I love the article as it is rare to read of a doctor having this effect on all of the staff, and to find one which isn’t beaten down by the system. Let’s face it, all doctors would naturally be like this if the system they are working in supported them to care at this level, instead of making them feel like a machine.

435. What a beautiful and confirming experience Denise that you have shared with us. To know that our experience in hospital was going to be this way would take the fear out of it for us all, and reinforce the positive side of Medicine and Healing. Not just a number but a person.

436. Thank you for sharing your experience and the obvious deep appreciation that it brings.

437. It is amazing the affect one person can make.

438. I sat with this line for some while to really appreciate what you have shared with us all Denise. “My healing is so deep because I have the trust and support to go there, to let go, to accept and surrender to this level of care”. This definitely needs to be shared, I feel so many will be inspired by this. Thank you.

439. This is one of those inspirational, heart warming sharings that will stay with me Denise. What I have just read I feel eventually will be the ‘norm’ and not the ‘unusual’, due to the pressures of demand by society with the rising dis-ease states. This is true ‘Universal Medicine’. Whereby the medical teams can work alongside supporting the patients who also take an active role in their own healthcare programmes. Us all taking responsibility for our ongoing health and vitality. Team work – which has proven to be very powerful indeed.

440. True medical care – it can and is being done via a doctor who treats the whole body and not just the parts or symptoms, together with your willingness to be so open to healing Denise and being prepared to look at the deeper issues, as well as the addition of truly caring staff. Very inspiring and a true model for medical care.

441. I love the feeling that everyone – the doctor, the patient, the staff – are all seen and seeing each other as a person before their role. And how you are able to accept the doctor’s ‘not sure what to do next’ – as so often we as a patient seek medical support loaded with expectations that they should fix our problem or come up with an answer, while refusing to take our own responsibility. This is truly remarkable. Seeing each other for who we are, allowing space for getting on with our job with due responsibility and integrity. A true way forward.

     1. Sadly it feels like the world is stuck in the irresponsibility of the fix it/save me mentality without realising the importance and power of taking responsibility for the part we play in our own healing.

442. A real trailblazing result which offers a model for others to follow so that medical miracles might become daily occurrences. What feels to have made the difference is the combination of elements, not least facilitated by your own commitment to being that ‘active partner in the treatment, management and healing’ of your disease which meant you were able to go significantly further into a healing process that supported you at a way deeper level.

443. For so long we have made Medicine about the potion, lotion, drug or bottle, but what you show us here Denise is that the greatest form of medicine is as Serge Benhayon says, in the quality we live our life. It’s like the illness you describe is but a speck, next to the care and tender love that you were shown. Imagine indeed a whole world based on this, how would our wellbeing grow?

444. It is by no co-incidence that you have discovered this doctor, Denise, and I feel it is a reflection of your readiness to heal and be truly supported.

445. This Doctor is modeling the way for all; thank you for sharing your experience Denise. It would be great to interview him and document the way he works for the teaching of other medical professionals to see what is possible when one assumes a multi-dimensional approach to healthcare.

446. I am deeply moved Denise, at the level of personal responsibility you have taken and the engagement you have in your own healing process. It does not feel like you are locked in a battle with the illness but a surrendering and appreciation of how you can be of equal engagement in this process along with this wonderful medical team.

447. Thank you for sharing, Denise. It felt like I was reading a story from the future, full of things I would very much like to have right now.

448. Truly beautiful sharing, thank you Denise. The miracles that one doctor can inspire in all around him is a testimony of the power we all hold in sharing our truth, love and deep care equally with all. This is the way forward, true medicine and healing, not only from the doctor, but all participating in the care, from the cleaner right through to doctor/surgeon. I must agree with Katerina’s comment above, “Stories such as yours need to be published and shared far and wide to re-ignite this knowing again of what true medicine actually is.”

449. What an experience to have Denise, thank you for sharing this. It shows so clearly how much and deep we innately care and what a blessing for the whole staff to have a patient like you who deeply appreciates every single one of them for what they bring and who they are.

450. True healing is a relationship and partnership between the physician, patient and the Divine. We think of the end result of healing is only the physical body being freed from its woes, but true healing is much more than that. The trust you have felt and expressed during your healing Denise, is the divinity we can access when we surrender. What a reflection you have brought to the current medical system.

451. “I am not a victim of the disease or the medical system, because I am pro-active in my treatment and care, a co–creator in my own healing” – love this Denise, and the way you embrace your ailment and healing to truly appreciate the whole healing process – How can there be any victim-ness when there is acceptance of, and surrender to love?

452. I can feel that the level of care you received in hospital would greatly support anyone irrespective of needing hospital treatment but even more amazing that it is in this environment that it is available. It should become a studied way of care for future healthcare professionals across the board.

453. To experience love by a person in their profession, as you have with your Physician Denise, is amazing sadly because it is not very often that this is the case. Very often people in jobs operate on autopilot, treating others as a number, talking to and dealing with them as this. Not only is this distressing for those on the receiving end, but equally for those who are working as this in their job i.e. not enjoying or more truly loving what they do, which just causes tension. Because when there is the love of oneself, there is the love in the job one does. It sounds like your lovely Physician here is leading the way in this love at the hospital and inspiring others. What a great and loving man.

454. Wow, Denise it just goes to demonstrate how such a high level of care can be experienced when everyone is working from a foundation of love, including the loving responsibility and care you willingly take and apply for yourself and so be in a position to appreciate and respond to this high level of care. Everyone working together as a team, the only way to truly heal.

455. A wonderful sharing here, Denise, thank you. What a beautiful experience you have had with what appears to be an amazing doctor. “My doctor is extraordinary. He is also a healer, who combines medicine with psychological and physical care by treating the whole body. I have never had a physician like this before; he is always accessible and I know he is there for me, in my corner.” And it is quite amazing how you have described the staff who work with this doctor are in the tender care that they all gave you during your period in the hospital. The role model that your doctor is for them obviously moves them to also treat their patients with utmost loving care. The support you describe goes far beyond what is usually experienced by most people, how conducive this care is for healing, far beyond the usual care that staff are able to give one in a hospital situation. This is true medicine, a completely wholistic healing.

456. Denise as I read your article I felt the power and potential of a medical system based on what you experienced. Wow. True universal medicine is what we so desperately need, and it’s exactly what you’ve described. The depth of care, sparing no detail, being there and meeting the person fully for the person that they are. So important yet forgotten and dismissed in most instances today. Stories such as yours need to be published and shared far and wide to re-ignite this knowing again of what true medicine actually is.

     1. Yes agree Katerina, and also, what I got from this post was how it is that LOVE is what truly leads in any establishment, business, profession, through the inspiration of being love – that this is what develops rapport, garners trust amongst others and collaboration.. people want to work for you when there is this love, just like the hospital staff did/do for this Physician. And it’s very simple too – treat people as people, working together in equalness and respect.

     2. I love the way that true medicine is being expressed as living the love we already are. No pill and potions, but appreciation of our natural way!

457. A Beautiful sharing Denise – Thank you. What you are experiencing is our natural way. What I look forward to and what we can all choose to contribute to is the fact that what we accept as normal now is exposed for the abusive way it is. We can all choose to claim the love we are and live this, we can choose to expand this love outward into all our relationships, and what you have experienced Denise will no longer be the ‘unusually’ but will be our ‘world’.

     1. I agree with you Christine, one day this will be seen and accepted as our ‘natural way of being’. Let all of us who realise this, claim this great love that we all equally are, and live it in all that we do, yes, how transformative this will be for the world. What Denise has experienced in her hospital stay will then be experienced throughout all aspects of life. Let us not allow the present abusive way of doing things to linger any longer than necessary. How wonderful it will be when the unusual will become normal in the world.

     2. I love what you say here Christine: true medicine is our ‘natural way’ and amazing to see that it is already here.

     3. Yes Christine and this highlights the responsibility each of us has to bring the same love and care that Denise describes into our own lives so it is how we look after ourselves and each other at home and it then becomes the norm as we take that way of being out into our places of work.

458. Reading your blog made me remember my time at hospital and I was always cold and always having to ask for more blankets. We are responsible to ask for what we need and to not feel like we are being a nuisance. The more we open up to the staff and share what supports us, the more they will know for the next patient.

459. Amazing! When you share that a hospital visit can be like this, experiencing true and integrated medicine….. everyone will want to go to hospital!
     Like Doug said, this is a new marker for how medical care can be and I hope that many are inspired.

     1. I agree, if being with a doctor and/or in hospital is like Denise described, we would like to go there. So what can we do to bring a change here? I have found myself waiting for a doctor like Denise’ one, but it did not come into my life yet. I found me as an important factor here. I am a part of the relationship and conversation in the medicine area – what do I bring into it? Do I bring Universal Medicine?

        1. I think it is super important that we connect, talk and be open with the doctors and share all that is important to us so that they can have an understanding of who we are. More often than not people treat their doctors quite differently than they would another person and so already there is a divide.

        2. This is an important point you raise Sandra. I imagine very few of us ask ourselves what we bring to the table when we have to see a health professional and what is our part in the healing process.

        3. And it is so important to take our part, take the responsibility and so inspire others to do so as well.

     2. Yes Rosie and if I can replicate the hospital experience in my work and you I am sure do in yours, imagine the impact we can have. No rocket science here and a true opportunity for serving humanity! What a gift available to each and every one of us. Denise’s experience should not be rare.

        1. Absolutely…. lets make it the new normal!

460. Recruitment of caring and supportive staff is one thing and is alway a risk, however to develop and maintain a culture of consistency in such attention to detail is quite another. Consistency takes commitment and building of foundations for ourselves first. It would be a great study to find out how self love and self care permeate the surgeon’s and the employee’s lives before they even get to work!

     1. Yes agreed, It would be his way of being in every aspect of his life for him to be able to naturally bring this to his work.

     2. I agree Bernadette. We hear so much about the bullying culture in health care, in fact I am going to a conference next week that is pretty much about that. It would be great to look at these environments that really do work and see what they do and how they work at their foundations to keep their workplaces as harmonious as possible. If they are doing something right, let’s all hear about it.

        1. Yes Jennifer, and when we hear about it, there will be no rocket science to it, save that of deeply caring about people and connecting with them! Such a simple formula if you like that first takes an appreciation of self.

461. Denise, what you have shared is so very inspiring and a beautiful insight into what true medicine actually is, a far cry from what we have been shown and have experienced so far. And I feel that the key to this way of healing is that fact that “these people love what they do and they do it with love”. Just imagine if this was the way that we all worked, no matter what our job; how the world and the way we live would change if we all lived and worked from a foundation of love.

462. Our medical model seems very much based on procedures and the treatment at hand, and of course, it goes without saying that this is very, very necessary. However, what’s missing in our current medical model is what’s been shared here – the absolute care of the doctor and staff before, during and after the operation or treatment because of the strain the medical systems and staff in many countries are under – they simply don’t have time for this ‘extra’ care. However, if more responsibility was taken by us all so that we don’t end up needing treatment for a condition that is preventable through lifestyle choice e.g. diet, dealing with our emotional hurts, living recklessly – then there would be more space for medical teams to work this way.

     1. You raise an important issue here Sandra, at what point are we willing to be as active in our healing of physical or psychological issues, as the health professionals we seek treat from? Denise describes how she is still working on clearing the issues behind her illness and appreciates all the loving care she receives from her medical team.

        1. And this is quite a different approach to how many people come out of an illness or operation – they can’t wait to get ‘back to normal’, but it was their normal that contributed to the ill, so it makes no sense to return to a way of being and living that is not working.

463. Thank you Denise for sharing such an inspirational story that goes to the heart of what true medicine is about treating the whole person with a team dedicated to be their whole selves. This is what our future holds and is available to us all now, all we need to do is be self-loving enough to firstly choose the true energy to express what we need and also take responsibility for every choice we make and have made. This is what I too experience because I understand how my body works and that healing is only truly accomplished by ourselves with the assistance of doctors and practitioners.

464. Wow Denise. What an inspirational read. I can feel the deep appreciation you have for your Doctor and all that he brings. This is a reminder to us all, that regardless of our profession, we can make a difference when we truly connect to our purpose, love and responsibility.

     1. Yes Kathryn I also could feel Denise’s deep appreciation for her Doctor and all who cared for her. Feeling this deep appreciation, her willingness to share who she is equally and beautifully with all, and her responsibility and contribution to her own healing was I felt an integral part of the whole wonderfully supportive and caring experience she had. This deep appreciation coupled with being who you truly are with everyone equally cannot but be reflected back. As you say Kathryn, regardless of our profession we can all make a difference.

     2. I agree, the transformational power in this is unfathomable, for the ripples go on forever inspiring and reminding people of what is possible.

465. Denise, you had me wishing I was unwell just so I could be bathed in the love and care you described. Seriously, thank you for letting the world know that despite many the negative reports about hospitals and poor patient care apparently care largely due to funding cuts, you experienced the opposite. This I know is largely due to your commitment to yourself borne out in the regeneration of your body cells! Thank you for sharing your experience. I can see this in the hospital publication.

466. Denise, thank you for sharing your experience in hospital. I have always been fearful of having to go into hospital for anything – simply because I’ve only been a hospital patient once in my life for a minor procedure in my early twenties. Your experience is nothing to be feared … those warm blankets alone are such a loving gesture that would make a person feel deeply cared for, and not just another body going in for surgery.

467. What a beautiful sharing Denise it just shows how we can heal if the support is there and we are open to the healing that is on offer. It just shows what a difference is made when the doctor cares enough to know all his staff and how this has a ripple effect all the way down to the cleaner.

468. Wonderful blog Denise. It is a celebration of how a medical team can work in harmony and the resulting healing this brings. This is the future of medicine being lived now.

469. Inspiring account of what a work place can be like, and that it only needs one person to make a change.

     1. Yes Julie, and a change felt by so many more than just the one person making that change too, when you consider the wake of the ripple effect. Love changes the way of work and everything about it including life itself. To be touched by a love that’s true changes everything.

     2. Yes that’s so true Julie, it only takes one person to bring love and deep caring to a situation for change to come about.

470. Thank you Denise and how fortunate you are to have come across a doctor and staff team that works so well. Unfortunately this is not yet the case enmasse where people often have to wait over a year for surgery dates and hospital departments are inundated and are frazzled by the volume of work, demands, red tape and bureaucracy and staff struggle to provide the care that they would like to. This all clearly impacts on patient care, as we know, and perhaps it is time that the medical profession paid equal attention to staff care as well as patient care so that more can have the outcomes that you have experienced.

471. What stood out for me was the fact that the doctor knew everyones names and roles. To take the time to know who we are working with is a great support towards building a healthy working environment wherever we work as we feel like we are seen as who we are and not just ‘a worker’.

     1. Yes Leigh that stood out for me too about the Doctor knowing everyone’s name, the power of the human touch is a loving touch felt and cherished.

     2. This level of detail Leigh, shows me how we all have a part to play in not only healing and care, but working together in a harmonious and supportive way.

     3. Me too, it feels like that doctor treats everyone as an equal, seeing each role as equally important including the cleaner.

472. Everyone in a hospital is responsible for the care of patients and it is wonderful that you have experienced this first hand Denise. This blog was a great read.

473. This is beautiful to read Denise, true medicine, treating the whole of you in every way. I love the sound of warm blankets in theatre and no pain when being a anaesthetised, this really is how loving a hospital visit can be. All round, truly healing. You’re physician sounds awesome as do his staff and this line stood out for me, ‘l feel that these people love what they do and they do it with love.’ This can never be put on because the truth of it can be felt. How could we not surrender to heal with this around us? Roll on the future of medicine, EVERYONE working together for love and truth.

     1. There is a certain harmony one can feel that this medical ward is working in and in this can be felt the truth of love.

474. Before I reached the end of your blog I said to myself ‘This is truly Universal Medicine’. When all patients and staff are treated in this way there will be many more medical miracles.

     1. Yes I agree ‘This is truly Universal Medicine’. Well said Mary. It is universal because no one would not respond well to this quality of attention. This quality is the true medicine that miracles of made of. And it is so simple and achievable. You only really need to be open and willing to truly connect in with yourself and others.

     2. Yes love it Mary, Universal Medicine is more than one carer involved + the client as well, equal in activity.

475. Denise what an inspiring and beautiful account of your experience… what you’ve described is the way it will be in the future, because no other sort of medicine will touch the surface of what’s needed. How amazing to hear how an entire team can work together in such a way, from the cleaners to the most senior surgeon and everyone in between.

     1. Jenny this is absolutely the way of the future for true healthcare.

        1. Yes Sandra… who would have thought it was all about love, relationships and equality! And not this therapy or that modality, or this medicine or that remedy! Quite a relief really as trying to make sense of the enormous complication of illness and disease at a symptomatic and treatment level is insurmountable.

     2. It is amazing how an entire team can work together but it shoudn’t be that way…. that should be the normal way always, and not the exception…. and the miracle should be just how it is.
        Everyone is capable of providing this same level of care, no specialness needed so why is it that this is not being provided everywhere?

        1. Yes Rosie, and now others can see it is possible and can be inspired to do exactly that.

        2. I agree Rosie the very fact that this is an amazing story of love and care shows how far we currently live from who we truly are.

        3. Great question / statement apply the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom and you have how to heal – no secret, it is what is required.

     3. I agree, Jenny, this is the way that medicine will eventually turn. To have an entire team work together in such a loving way, as you say “from the cleaners to the most senior surgeon and everyone in between”. This way of working, the whole team truly connecting with and respecting each other, will be shown eventually is the only true way of healing. How transformative this will be then for the whole hospital system.

        1. Yes Beverley although I suspect it may take quite some time, not to mention dismantling of the current ways first.

     4. It’s interesting Jenny I always thought the the way of the future in health care was different modalities coming together and patients being given whatever the most appropriate treatment is. Whilst this is true it is not everything. It’s the way we are in relationship with each other and how this influences our commitment to the part we play that is so significant here. It’s love returned to healthcare and it’s truly heartwarming to read.

        1. Yes I felt similarly Jennifer, thinking there needed to be an amalgamation of alternative and conventional medicine essentially and that was the answer. It is far from it though, as either, without re-igniting love in another, will result in more of the same… loveless behaviour and activity, and hence more illness and disease. So yes, relationships with one another is key… as Denise’s account is testimony to.

        2. What I realised when I was in practice as a natural medicine practitioner was that even though on the surface what I was offering may have been different with the medicines used and the approach taken, I was still self critical, taking very little self-care and pushing my own body. So I was not offering any love in the work that I was doing. I am pleased to say that this has now changed and I am now working in nursing. So it has little to do with the modality and a lot to do with the practitioners living way.

        3. Yes agreed Jennifer, I practised for many years as an ‘alternative therapist’ but what was I providing an alternative for? Really just for the remedies someone might take for their ailments. If it is love that heals and inspires true change, then I offered little of that. It is so easy to see the end result in the short term as the indicator of success. We are so driven by symptoms and removing them as our indicator of success, we are missing what healing is actually about.

476. A remarkable sharing Denise. The way of future of true medicine for us all!

     1. Absolutely Sharon, it is the way of the future for medicine and for us all.

     2. Agreed Sharon, how wonderful that the future is here now, as Denise’s sharing shows, a medical model for all others to see, feel and to implement.

     3. Yes very true Sharon. As for it to be true medicine it requires all of us to be a part of it. We are the future in the way we live now.

     4. Exactly Sharon, more needs to be written about why this doctor was miraculous. Part 2 please – interview the Doctor.

477. When you have a miracle doctor it is quite fitting to be a medical miracle. It is a beautiful way to rise to the occasion!

     1. Yes Christoph, and look at the effect one ‘miracle doctor’ had on the entire staff… that is profound and testimony to the fact that one person can change the world.

        1. Very true Christoph and Jenny. A ‘miracle doctor’ inspires miracles all around him – as does any person who chooses to also live the same way within whatever area of life their focus is.

        2. Yes Golnaz exactly, and in that sense miracles are not the domain of some ‘other worldly deity’ to grant us if we are somehow deserving enough, but rather the everyday inspired game-changer stories such as this one. We have been hoodwinked to think that a miracle is not something that occurs through our own powers… this is true testament of this very fact.

     2. Hello Christoph and I agree. There appears to be a whole team as a part of this, Denise included. It shows, work alone and you will get some results but truly work as a group or team and miracles follow.

        1. Indeed it sounds like truly integrated care, where each person in the team including the patient take active responsibility for the quality they bring to the ward and understand how we are all interdependent.

        2. Hello Jenny, I agree and we understand how whatever we do affects others. So we are talking of our relationship with everything and our responsibility with the quality of our living. It’s true if we live in a true quality, life is extremely different, live otherwise and you pretty much have the world today.

        3. I agree Ray, the power of coming together to offer what each uniquely brings cannot be denied… like colours of a rainbow each beautiful in their own right, but together… spectacular.

        4. Yes Samantha, as you are saying. One colour doesn’t make a rainbow it’s just a colour in the sky, it takes every colour. Also one colour doesn’t stand out better they all are together and you can’t see where one ends clearly and the other starts they are single colours but yet so closely linked that they are one. You also don’t see one colour shoot off in a different direction or make a square instead, they all are side by side every time, no separation and absolutely “spectacular.”

        5. I agree Ray. The whole team were each playing their part, respecting each others and no one was considered more or less important. This allowed Denise to play her part knowing that what was happening with her would be totally supported.

     3. How blessed we are to have a miracle doctor who will work with us when needed to bring about the medical miracles that he has brought about. What an amazing impact this doctor has had on all the staff who work with him, that Denise was able to experience such loving care every moment of her stay in the hospital.

     4. I love what you are saying Christoph, so sweet and true. A miracle goes all ways, it is not a one way road.
