It seems, though, that the non-surgery/pharmacy care aspects of hospitals would be discounted in terms of $ and status.Brad Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07800309833079635465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37421406.post-15871177779173078012007-05-04T23:40:00.000-04:002007-05-04T23:40:00.000-04:00It's the only true way to treat the patient...the ...It's the only true way to treat the patient...the mental, physcial, emotional and spiritual all are interwoven...it's difficult to explain here without my filling your page...but it's that mind over matter. ...k let me give you an example...a woman has a heart attack - she's worried about her children at home so she stesses out...so mentally she's an emotional wreck..unless those needs can be met she'll not heal/get better as quickly as if some of those concerns are remedied...we've become such a society that doesn't look deep into the other person, their needs...at the funeral service the other day i sat with an elderly uncle of my g/f...he complained to me that when he goes to his doctor now it's like a business...in and out as fast as you can go....what about the person? what's going on with their lives...it's so vital for health...i'm rambling now...SARAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16709202258084578997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37421406.post-21629444438951001722007-05-04T18:59:00.000-04:002007-05-04T18:59:00.000-04:00Interesting about the holistic health.

It seems the more trouble we're in, e.g., cancer, the more willing we are to accept/ reach out for the unseen.Brad Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07800309833079635465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37421406.post-52689487104352509982007-05-04T16:04:00.000-04:002007-05-04T16:04:00.000-04:00Yes, prayer definitely works(Matthew 18:20)*smile*...Yes, prayer definitely works(Matthew 18:20)*smile* I've read several studies in regard to prayer as healer. The studies that fascinated me most were the ones where the ill person didn't even know they were being prayed for...hmmm interesting eh? ( or should that be huh? lol)At the Princess Margaret Hospital here in Toronto (world leader in cancer research/devel) We have some great programs-psychosocial oncology- & visualization -it's wonderful that we treat the patient holistically and not just the disease...in Ontario we're still very far behind as compared to BC-thank you for this post!SARAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16709202258084578997noreply@blogger.com
