Description: I spent 15 years researching the philosophical and scientific foundations of the profession of medicine while writing my book. My thesis (discussed in the Introduction) is that a lack of optimal conscious self-awareness underlies both our culture of sickness and the conventional allopathic healthcare system. The unconscious practice of medicine yields conventional disease-management of generalized diagnoses in place of true healing, and is driven mainly by economic, political, and institutional agendas. By contrast, conscious medicine denotes mindful healing--restoring balance by correcting causes rather than masking symptoms.In chapter 1, I explore the reductionistic and mechanistic foundations of the outdated conventional biomedical model.Chapters 2-4 comprise my detailed critique of contemporary "evidenced-based" conventional medicine and its corruption.Chapters 5-7 survey discoveries in modern physics and their relationship, if any, to the scientific foundations of medicine.Chapters 8-10 explore the metaphysics of physics and the mythology created by applying quantum concepts outside their domain of applicability.Chapter 11 provides a detailed discussion of complexity science and systems biology that I propose as the essential scientific foundation for re-envisioning the conventional medical model.Chapter 12 explores this new "precision medicine" and expands upon it to generate an integral model of healing that includes the health of our biosphere as an essential feature. The illustration on the book cover symbolizes a trilogy of themes that recur throughout the book. DaVinci's Vitruvian Man represents the healing ideal of restoring healthy balance. The Yin-Yang symbol represents the dynamic interdependence of opposites and their synthesis into higher orders of complexity. The square, bisected into quadrants, represents the integral model articulated by Ken Wilbur that integrates the subjective, objective, singular, and collective domains of knowledge. This integration in the practice of medicine yields a bio-psycho-socio-cultural-environmental model.This book was finished in 2019. The medical corruption that I had explored exponentially increased during the COVID crisis. Thus, I added a postscript on Feb.18, 2022. The words of Carl Jung clearly echo in our own time: "Man is the great danger." Man's unconscous shadow has become evil-personified, and is being acted out on a global scale. What we have witnessed is not just a medical and political coup, but a coup on humanity itself. Our social engineers have induced global mass hypnosis--a dream that normalizes the insanity of unconsious humanity. I offer this book as a wake-up call.Free shipping within the continental U.S.
