Integrating Medical Care and Holistic Healing
Monday September 23, 2024 4:00pm - 6:00pm EDT
Science Summit venue (2nd floor)
A question remains unanswered: how can we truly prevent and cure diseases? Our session intends to be highly experiential, interactive and practical for everyone who participates live in person and on livestream, in addressing this question. Our current path of preventing and treating ailments, developing novel medicines and interventions, albeit with many triumph, also comes short in many ways. In the context of chronic dis-eases, the model has postulated that the state of healing happens upon eradication of the condition.

However, despite substantial improvements in treatment and survival across medical fields, in oncology, for example, more than 9 million people still die from cancer every year. So, what are we missing? The ultimate goal of medicine and science is to equilibrate physical, mental, and social wellbeing into what is optimal for the individual. This stands for medial care as well as drug development. Patients deserve nothing less. Equally, mental health is just as physical as physical health and mindbody is one word. This view may significantly improve the way we diagnose, treat, relate, communicate in clinics, as well as design perform and invest in research and clinical trials.

Precision and patient tailored modalities that are so vastly represented in modern medical care (gene sequencing for example and many more), should apply no less to internal states of being, and we can call this precision lifestyle medicine and precision psychobiosomatics. The holistic model is a both/and approach not an either/or approach and it holds hands of modern medical care and whole health. The new paradigm is one that holds, practices and celebrates wholeness. To cure, we must be willing to embrace healing from the inside out as well. What do we need to do in order to create a new kind of collective healthcare intelligence?

In this session we will present and discuss experimental and clinical evidence generating a new paradigm based on axioms that would allow us to achieve sustainable wellbeing in a holistic way - caring for the physical, the mental, the emotional, the social. We will provide practical guidance for working in clinic as well as well defined calls to action where we can all participate and establish meaningful collaborations and deliver true impact in holistic medicine and science globally in the coming years.
