realitysandwich/230759/ Western medicine eagerly embraces objective information related to human health but its materialistic bias prevents it from recognizing less tangible factors regarding energy, spirit, meaning, and consciousness to advance the well-being of patients. Dreams, synchronicities, spiritual insights, psychosomatic and psychic phenomena, therefore, are not recognized as legitimate research topics and are not factored into patients’ medical evaluations. Medicine’s reductionist bias favors a fragmented system of medical specialties that tends to the physical ailments of isolated parts of the human body, while it prejudges a multiplicity of holistic approaches as untenable, unscientific, and unrealistic. It welcomes mechanistic explanations compatible with its worldview, but doesn’t have the foggiest notion of what to do with a multitude of phenomena that cannot be explained by its conventional cause-and-effect perspective.
