Doctors - they can have a beneficial influence on their patients

03/16/2024

You are ill and you take some medicine. It has curative properties, of course, but this will not suffice. It would even be ineffective if something within you did not also contribute to the healing process: the very substance of your physical body, which animated and exalted by your spirit, has the capacity to heal itself. Medicine certainly fights illness, but at the same time, it weakens the body as a whole. What the body needs is to be given the chance to defend itself, and this is achieved by awakening the innate powers it possesses. In the same way, a doctor should do more than prescribe drugs. A true doctor is endowed with a kind of magical power: their whole being emanates powerful fluids that penetrate the sick person, reviving them and restoring them to health. This is what should also be taught to medical students: that by their presence they can have a beneficial influence on their patients.
