PreFace by Dr. Marcelo
I chose to explore Quantum Medicine and forms of Quantum Healing out of pure necessity to help very complex chronically ill patients that not only exhausted conventional care but were coming to me after failing even functional medicine treatments. I felt poorly equipped, frustrated, and inadequate to help these patients, but at the same time I knew that if they came to me, it was for a reason.
The first thing I did was sort out groups of patients from my patient panel that had similar symptoms and diagnosis. I would re-read my initial encounters (if you’ve ever sat down with me, you know I map out your life). The biggest lesson I learned was that my sickest patients were as physically sick as they were mentally, emotionally, or spiritually. Their personality (how they though, acted and felt) created their current personal reality.
I began to study Psychoneuroimmunology: a scientific field that explains how psychology and physical processes interact. There is a bi-directional conversation happening between the body and the mind. In other words, the body can affect the thoughts we have, while our thoughts can also affect our bodies through the immune, hormone and neurological systems. Our thoughts can literally make us ill, but our thoughts can also make us healthy!
This discovery helped me understand that physical healing should encompass simultaneously healing of the mind, heart, and spirit. How could I help my patients do this? I spoke to religious elders of different backgrounds. I read multiple self-help books. I read contemporary metaphysical writers like Edgar Tolle, Abraham Hicks, Louise Hay, Bruce Lipton, Dr Joe Dispenza, etc. I attended multiple energy retreats and I found what I felt comfortable training myself to help others.
In my late 20s, I learned how to physical heal my body with functional medicine. In my mid 30s I started to learn how to heal my body with the power of my heart and mind. It is my greatest desire to share this with those that choose me to help navigate their health and wellbeing.
