What we call modern physics says something entirely new about the
world and how it behaves. For many years, these theories have been
accepted as the most accurate descriptions we have ever had about
our world. Nevertheless, medicine has been reluctant to incorporate
these ideas into itself, continuing to view the body as a clockwork
mechanism, in which illness is caused by a breakdown of "parts."
Drawing on his long experience in the practice of internal medicine
and his knowledge of modern science, Dr. Dossey shows how medicine
can and must be updated. Discussing the new theories of Bell,
Godel, and others, he opens up startling questions for medicine:
Could the brain be a hologram, in which every part contains the
whole? Why have ordinary people been able to raise and lower blood
pressure at will, control heart rate, body temperature, even one
minute blood vessel, in a way no one can explain? What is the role
of consciousness in health and illness? Perhaps the most startling
of Dr. Dossey's discussions concerns nonlinear time. There is
evidence that our obsession with time and our belief that time
"flows" (a belief refuted by the new physics) may profoundly affect
our health. "Time sickness" is becoming an accepted medical
concept, a possible cause of the greatest killer of all--heart
disease. Dr. Dossey presents remarkable clinical data showing that
by changing their view of time, people have been able to positively
affect the course of disease. Just as the clockwork picture of the
universe was abandoned in the onslaught of new data, our
mechanistic view of health and illness will give way to new models
which, too, will be more consistent with the true face of the
universe.
