The Future of Medicine

by Lissa Rankin

I have a dream that we will bring the care back to health care. I have a dream that we will bring consciousness to medicine. I have a dream that we will practice love, married with all the miraculous technologies that make Western medicine so life-saving, especially in acute care situations.

Marry Western Medicine with Sacred Medicine

Imagine a health care system where the advances of modern medicine that save lives with emergency surgery during trauma, stent placement during heart attacks and strokes, and miracle treatments that save the lives of premature babies marries the wisdom, expertise, and techniques of shamans, Eastern medicine doctors, faith healers, and energy healers. Imagine functional medicine and nutritional interventions in a rock-and-roll mash up with scientifically proven mind-body medicine practices like the ones I teach in my book Mind Over Medicine. Imagine science and technology and psychology and spirituality all wrapped up together in a DNA spiral of infinite possibility that predisposes the body to seemingly miraculous cures from supposedly “incurable” illnesses.

The Ethics of Purity

Imagine if both conventional and alternative medicine providers are required to abide by a strict code of medical and spiritual ethics that ensures a level of heart-based purity, so you know who you can trust, not just inside the hospital systems, but in the realms of shamans, energy healers, faith healers, acupuncturists, therapists, homeopaths, and life and health coaches. Imagine if intuition and discernment reigns so that love-based practitioners have all the power, and vulnerable patients are protected from megalomaniacs, charlatans, and black magicians, both inside and outside the conventional health care system.
