Quite the contrary, there has been a myopic preference for ignoring the consequences of a way of perceiving which is excessively specialised and short-sighted. Priority has been given to the immediate effects of a treatment, leaving the rest to chance.
This attitude demonstrates a deep and grave impasse in the treatment of disease, confirmed by the lack of theories and perspectives that enable us to see a physical disease in a new manner, different from the old. So far, there have been partial diagnoses that include only pathogenic analyses in a therapeutical perspective that is only symptomatological. Conversely, it is the entire individual who must instead be considered, in his vital dynamics as well as from a psychological and even spiritual perspective, even if these cannot be measured.
Soul and body are not two separate and non-communicating domains, but two manifestations of the same essence, and equally responsible for the health of an individual.
Because medical orthodoxy is closed a priori to this concept, the need for deep renewal is inducing thinkers and doctors to adopt alternative positions with increasing frequency. This is demonstrated by the growth of writing and testimonials that are not in step with the dictates of official medicine. This especially happens in the area of oncology, where a deep state of confusion and resignation is most felt.
