How to use meditation in healing diseases
by Claude Bulaceanu
Evolution of health systems paradigm from ancient times to modern ones
Healing diseases was always a big challenge for humanity since ancient times. Back then they uses nit medical science as we know it but more of a mixture of herbal treatments, prayers to gods, sacrifices, and all sorts of empirical means like mercury, taking blood, ayurvedic Medicine, shamanism, etc. Some of them could be a death sentence, while others surprisingly effective.
In modern times, medicine improved a lot and we have now public health system just about in every country and available to most people, at least in the more developed countries. The key is that modern medicine in general tends to standardization, and therefore for the same illness the same treatment is used whether in Cairo, Buenos Aires, London, or Boston.
We now should understand that a disease, and illness, is the Effect actually of a Cause, which many times is unknown. When looking at a disease as a whole, we could say that the modern medicine deals with the effects manifested by the physical illness, and less with its causes. By acting upon on the effects, and even if being successful in this, if the causes are still active then in time the disease will return, whether the same disease or another.
