- 25. Consciousness Healing AndBioenergychart composed by Dr. Daniel Benor (2004) pg. 381 CAM Therapies compared to Conventional Medicine Diagnosis Diagnosis may be unnecessary. Diagnosis required. Diagnosis by intuitive perceptions that supplement history and observations. Diagnosis by history, physical examination, and laboratory examinations. Syndromes—patters of symptoms that involve body, emotions, mind, spirit. Symptoms—primarily physical; emotions, mind, spirit are considered secondary. Diagnoses may vary between diagnosticians. Diagnoses should be consistent between diagnosticians. Treatments Wholistic approach includes body, emotions, mind, relationships and spirit. Discrete elements of therapies are introduced, focus is mostly on the body. Treatments may be specific or non-specific, may involve bio-energies, and may be focused by actions or by the mind of the therapist. Treatments are discrete and specific within physical parameters. They are considered “objective,” i.e. independent of the person giving them. Interventions to uncover underlying causes of problems, restore harmony. Treatments to repair malfunctioning or damaged organism. Respond (responsible participant) takes active role in self-healing as possible. Therapist diagnoses, prescribes and/or administers treatments.
- 26. Consciousness Healing AndBioenergy chart composed by Dr. Daniel Benor (2004) pg. 381 CAM Therapies compared to Conventional Medicine Theory Symptoms and diseases are indications of disharmonies in body, emotions, mind, relationships, and spirit. Symptoms and disease are evidence of malfunctions of the physical body Spiritual aspects may be viewed as the most important elements of health. Physical aspects are the most important; spiritual issues are relegated to clergy. Mind and body are unitary parts of one entity and constantly interact directly with one another. Mind and body are separate; only words, symbols, and sensory exchanges are vehicles for their interactions. Healing action effective from any distance. Action is local, distance diminished force. All of time is present in the now, and treatment may be directed to “anywhen.” Time is linear, with past, present, and future; treatments are given in the present. Physical death is a transition to spiritual dimensions. Physical death terminates existence. Death is a natural part of existence, and healing into death is a good healing. Death is to be avoided and fought against at all costs. Explanations are “both/and” Explanations are in “either/or” Research Individual case reports and qualitative studies preferred, RCTs (with compromises in usual CAM practices). RCTs are the gold standard; qualitative studies and observation based on individual cases are inferior.
