We can no longer rely on the philosophy of determinism (control) of classical science.They only apply to invariant properties of physics; not to society/biology/ecology.The models of classical science become deadly if used on medicine (health care).

Our participation in creation operates in our body, as human AND humanity. Science is incapable to describe that; the same is the case for any religion. But we can all experience it in our body: it is based on this uniVersal dynamic.

Integral Health Care makes use of all the healing arts of the whole Earth. East & West, Far-East & Far-West therein logically complement each other. Together they define and form Integral Health Care.

Together they can prevent, early-detect/correct, cure and palliate.

The essence is simple:

• The West created an anatomic (“somatic”) structural understanding of our body.This bases itself on the Classical models of deterministic science.
• The East (Ayurveda) focused on supporting the physiological processes of our body.This calls for a Relativistic type of thinking.
• The Far-East (Acupuncture) designed an approach to recalibrate the regulatory system of our body.This requires a Probabilistic approach.
• The Far-West (Spiritual Healing) works primarily with the Information Integration system of the body.This calls for a universal integral/unified Field description.
• The principles and method for integration of these forms of healing is found in our living body. Our body is not a mechanical object: it is an information processor which interacts with its context. In our living being, information integrates with matter, with the essence of life: Freedom of Choice. Our body is our best example on the way objective reality is based on subjective realisation. Realise that the scientific model of reality changed from Determinism to Relativity to Probability to Creativity. Our participation in creation means that our reality is based on our realisation. Especially for health care this means a change from Objectivity to Subjectivity: “what you think matters”.

Stephen I. Ternyik,

First of all thanks, for sharing your insightful perspective on the role of lifestyle changes and integrative health care in promoting well-being. I agree that our understanding of health and disease must evolve beyond deterministic models to encompass the dynamic interplay of physical, mental, and spiritual factors.

Your emphasis on the integration of various healing traditions from both Eastern and Western perspectives highlights the importance of a holistic approach to health care. By considering the physiological, regulatory, and informational aspects of the body, we can better support the body's natural healing processes and promote overall well-being.

I also appreciate your emphasis on the role of subjective realisation and the power of thought in influencing health outcomes. This underscores the importance of mindfulness, positive mindset, and conscious choices in leading a healthy and fulfilling life.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom, and I look forward to further exploring these ideas together.

Article Cardio-Mental Health - Salutogenesis in Application

Stephen I. Ternyik,

Added this paper to my list too!

Stephen I. Ternyik

Thank you for introducing the paper "Cardio-Mental Health - Salutogenesis in Application" to our discussion. The concept of salutogenesis, as explored in the paper, is highly relevant to our topic on the integration of personalised lifestyle modifications with conventional medical treatments.

Salutogenesis emphasises the promotion of health and well-being, focusing on factors that contribute to a healthy lifestyle. This aligns perfectly with the idea that personalised modifications in diet, exercise, stress management, and sleep hygiene can significantly enhance health outcomes and manage chronic diseases.

The paper's exploration of the cardio-mental health connection highlights the importance of a holistic approach that includes both physical and mental health. By applying salutogenic principles, we can better understand how to effectively integrate these lifestyle changes with traditional medical treatments, optimising overall health and potentially reversing or managing various diseases.

Your insights and the information from this paper enrich our understanding of how a combined approach can lead to healthier, happier lives. I look forward to further discussions on how we can implement these strategies in practical and impactful ways.

I would like you to refer to the below paper also relevant to the topic at hand:

Article Elixir for COVID-19 and other known and unknown diseases

This publication is highly pertinent to our discussion on the integration of personalized lifestyle modifications with conventional medical treatments to optimize health outcomes. The paper's innovative perspective on health strategies underscores the potential of combining personalized lifestyle changes with conventional treatments. This integrated approach can lead to more effective management and potentially even reversal of chronic diseases.

The wording of the question suggests a merely Panglossian state of affairs. Who can say what deadly microbial or viral mutations might emerge in the future? Lifestyles may be irrelevant to them and viable treatments (cures, inoculations, palliatives) may not be forthcoming. Extinction is always a possibility.

Karl Pfeifer

Thank you, Karl, for your thoughtful response. While it is a conventional knowledge that lifestyle modification cannot alone guarantee immunity against all diseases, particularly unforeseen microbial or viral mutations, but it has been proved often that personalised lifestyle changes can improve overall health and even eliminate chronic conditions that cannot be done via. conventional medicine.

Personalised lifestyle modifications such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, stress management, and proper sleep hygiene can significantly contribute to overall health and well-being. These changes, when combined with conventional medical treatments, have shown to optimise health outcomes and improve quality of life for individuals with chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases .

Studies have demonstrated that lifestyle changes can help manage and even reverse some chronic conditions. For instance, a study published in the journal Lancet highlighted how lifestyle interventions could reverse type 2 diabetes in some patients . Similarly, the American Heart Association emphasises the importance of lifestyle modifications in managing heart disease .

It has also been proven often that lifestyle changes can prevent any disease and play a crucial role in preventative health. For example, a study in JAMA showed that adherence to healthy lifestyle practices can reduce the risk of chronic diseases and enhance longevity .

Emphasising a healthy lifestyle builds resilience and enhances the immune system, which can help the body better respond to infections and other health challenges. There is a guarantee of complete immunity, it improves overall health outcomes and quality of life.

It is indeed challenging to predict and combat future microbial or viral threats. However, a healthy lifestyle can be a part of a comprehensive strategy to build a robust immune system, making individuals less susceptible to severe outcomes when new health threats emerge and even overcome them and any such threats in the future.

Believe me with lifestyle changes alone can become a panacea, and are a vital component of a holistic approach to health that complements medical treatments and enhances overall well-being. Your point about the unpredictability of future health threats is not correct as it underscores the importance of combining proactive lifestyle management with scientific advancements to navigate these challenges effectively.

Sandeep Jaiswal There are people with exemplary lifestyles who succumb to disease. There are people who have congenital conditions that no lifestyle can cure. This is not to deny that sometimes lifestyle can cure or mitigate certain medical conditions. But to claim that lifestyle changes alone can cure any disease in human history is sheer utopian fantasy.

With climate change we might face insuperable unknown dangers that lie dormant in the permafrost:

These where the traditional beliefs in the ancient eastern medicine systems that lifestyle can change anything, can cure any disease and is the primary cause of occurrence of any disease past, present or the future. Now modern medicine has also started accepting these facts from the ancient wisdom of the mystics that a abnormality in the body starts with disturbance of the mind. If a human mind is happy, harmonious and balanced everytime then we will be disease free for life and attain that bliss state, or in other words the mindset of the divine. Believe me we initially rejected this notion outright but slowly and surely we have started to accept this fact for sure. My vision is that it will not be far when the humans will get anything they wish for by changing their mindset. Believe me no disease can stand the test of the mind!

Cheers,

Dear Caleb,

Thank you for your insightful response. I agree that a healthy lifestyle significantly reduces disease risk and promotes overall well-being, and that genetic, environmental, and other factors play crucial roles in our health.

Drawing from traditional beliefs in ancient Eastern medicine systems, there is a long-held conviction that lifestyle changes can profoundly impact health. These systems often emphasise that the primary cause of disease is rooted in lifestyle and mental states. Modern medicine is gradually acknowledging the wisdom of these ancient practices, particularly the idea that physical health is closely linked to mental and emotional well-being.

Here are some points to consider:

In conclusion, while lifestyle changes alone may not cure every disease, they play a crucial role in prevention and management. By fostering a harmonious and balanced mind, we can significantly enhance our overall health and move towards a more blissful state of being.
