Dr. David Edelberg, co-founder of WholeHealth Chicago, was recently featured in an article from The Nation on complementary and alternative medicine.
Complementary Alternative Medicine: Meeting health needs
Dr David Edelberg of Chicago Holistic medicine states: “The hospitals pastoral care section is simply giving lip service; even though it has tremendous power of healing, most western doctors do not take advantage of it. But as a result of advances in medical technology, things are changing. The words ‘health’, ‘holistic’, ‘wholeness’ and ‘holy’ have the same meaning.”
When healing process occurs in an Alternative centre, I believe that people are touching something spiritual. The mind, body and spirit are involved.
I advocate books on how to meditate to both HIV and cancer patients from spiritual angle. When I do that (meditate), the patients’ faces change (unless I am misreading and I don’t think I am). They say “Oh my God, a doctor who is basically a scientist, is telling me what I knew all along: that if I try to activate spiritual background it can help”.
