Background Concepts
What distinguishes Western medicine from all other healing traditions throughout the globe are several key concepts: the separation of mind and body, and the notion that all of nature can be explained via a materialistic world view. On the other hand, non-Western healing traditions have recognized an inextricable link between mind and body.

The growing trend and the demands of healthcare consumers has galvanized the medical industry to study various non-allopathic approaches to healing, that has resulted in the vast and heterogeneous field of complementary and integrative medicine. Most notably, are endeavors that accommodate the notions of consciousness spirit and other ineffable agents as mediators of material and, thus, physical change, much as was historically held as a truism by early Judeo-Christian teachers and inherent in eastern spiritual disciplines.

Recent scientific discoveries in bio-physics has demonstrated that there are now known mechanisms, fields of energy and quantifiable relationships on the sub atomic level that determine the formation and cohesion of matter. These newly quantifiable energies that the Medical and bio-physics scientists are studying are expected to, once harnessed be developed into applications that will beneficially affect the body, and result in developing cost effective treatments that will invariably be integrated into the current healthcare model.

The Global Health Institute, through it's collaborative efforts with academic institutions, medical schools, scientific research entities as well as other philanthropic organizations, seeks to advance humankind on its path of discovery, by engaging in basic and clinical research that meets the rigorous standards of the scientific community.

We are committed to taking a humble and open-minded approach, knowing from a historical standpoint, that there remain great discoveries reserved for each generation, that posses untold benefits for humankind.

Studying Consciousness Based Healthcare

The pioneers in the field of CBH research are focusing on three focal points of study in the hopes of better understanding and harnessing this modality for improved patient health outcomes, and therefore, improved general public health.
