Practices For Healing
There are many different philosophies, schools and practices for healing. There always have been, and should continue to be. No one perspective has a monopoly on care, insight, considered answers or evidence of success.
Yet, an argument ensues suggesting that the overriding allopathic tradition (the practice of our GPs and doctors in hospitals) is “more right” and “distinctly better”, and that all other perspectives are foolhardy, even dangerous. Not only does the evidence not stack up, but attempts to dismiss different, yet credible, points of view is genuinely dangerous.
Distortions in reality occur in many sectors of society. When such distortions are institutionally enforced, systematic inequalities develop. As a result, we all suffer, even simply, from the knock-on effect of being denied proper information about what’s real and what’s possible in human experience.
