A report today in the Daily Mail talks about the fact that a little girl’s tumour disappeared…quite agaisnt medical expectation.

Comments on the article cover all kind of responses, some very negative, some delighted.

For us at Healthwise it simply confirms our view that health is much more than simply a physical phenomenon  affecting the body.

The mind and the spirit are involved, too.

Treatment with acupuncture, traditional chinese medicine and herbal remedies affects every part… and that includes the mind and spirit as well as the body. It is wonderful that this little girl has not gone blind – or worse.  While we are delighted we are not astonished.

Doctors know a lot, but the best keep an open mind, too.  In traditional chinese medicine we genuinely value the relationship with our patients, as it is a key part in treatment.   Trusting the medical practitioner and feeling heard and listened  are factors in re-establishing health and well-being in the adults we see.

The article does not mention the relationship with the doctors and the girl’s attitude towards her condition, but we would expect it to be a contributing factor.

May she and her family have a wonderful life together.
