Foundations of Noetic Medicine:
Practicing the medicine of the mind
Donivan Bessinger, MD,
MS(Surg), FACS
Noetic medicine refers the study and practice of the
mental aspects of healing.
Findings in
quantum physics profoundly impact the traditional philosophy of medical
practice, and
if we are to remain true to science, we must integrate the data which
science provides
us, and be willing to follow where the process leads.
Foundations
of Noetic Medicine is now

Cover: Quotations from the book:
Noetic medicine refers to the study and practice of the mental aspects of
healing. …
Just as the cells of the body flourish (or become stressed) in a
fluid
milieu interieur, so does our healing practice live in a philosophic milieu, which
appropriately relates a physician to the patient, to the practice environment,
to the base of knowledge, and to the physician’s own sense of self. …
The discoveries by quantum physics in the twentieth century have
deeply challenged notions of cosmos, but have hardly at all been assimilated
into biology and medicine. …
Now new knowledge from a number of disciplines has left us with
many concepts which do not fit within the prevailing medical model, nor into a
mechanistic understanding of the universe. …
The very science on which we based our faith is fracturing that frame
within which we have worked so comfortably and confidently. Somehow we must
bring these new concepts into a “golden frame” by which we relate to the
physical cosmos, and to the cosmos of the human person, including ourselves. …
If we are to remain true to science, we must integrate the data
which
science provides us, and be willing to follow where the process leads. ...
What is the nature of the reality in which such effects can occur?
