Halalopathy: a science of trust in medicine


Alzeer, Jawad (2019). Halalopathy: a science of trust in medicine. Journal of Integrative Medicine, 17(3):150-154.

Abstract

The human body is well organized, regulated, and connected. One of the greatest scientific challenges today is to integrate mind, behaviour, and health. Enormous advances in health care have been achieved; however, diseases like cancer still required treatment options beyond therapeutic drugs, namely surgery and radiation. Human being are not only made of cells, tissues, and organs, but also feelings and sensations. Linking mental state with physical health is essential to include all elements of disease. For this purpose, halalopathy has been introduced as a new model to integrate mind, behaviour and health; where psychology, spirituality and rationality can be integrated together to generate a well-organized, regulated and connected health system. Halalopathic approaches are based on mind-trust-drug and mind-trust-belief. If the drug and human’s belief are compatible, trust in the rationally designed drug will be synergised, placebo effects will be activated to initiate the healing process. Such an organized health system will lower the body’s entropy and increase potential energy, which is an important aspect to promote the healing process, with a therapeutic drug toward complete recovery. This study enlightens laws of compatibility to initiate a domino chain effect to activate placebo effects and lower the body’s entropy. The healing power of each effect will contribute to the healing process and enhance the total drug effects.
