<p>Many of us have gotten sick, gone to the doctor, received the “quick fix,” and then found ourselves sick again soon after. Why is that?</p>
<div id="attachment_7054" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 135px"><img class="size-full wp-image-7054" title="Amit Goswami, Ph.D" src="http://iquim.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Dr-Amit-Goswami.gif" alt="Amit Goswami, Ph.D" width="125" height="125" />
<p class="wp-caption-text">Amit Goswami, Ph.D</p>
</div>
<p>Renowned physicist Dr. Amit Goswami, a professor at Quantum University, explains the current medicinal system:</p>
<p>&#8220;We have a very powerful medicinal system, which you call Conventional Medicine or Allopathy, which has the metaphysics that everything is made out of matter, and everything that happens in the world is the result of material interactions. Upward causation.</p>
<p>This is the idea things at the base level consist of elementary particles. Elementary particles make atoms, atoms make molecules, molecules make cells. Some of the cells are neurons, some they make the brain.</p>
<p>And it is the brain that is responsible for consciousness, for all of our subjective experiences, including disease healing. All this subjective experience is connected with our health is here due [to] material manifestations…</p>
<p>But there is also the Alternative [or ‘Complementary’] Medicine model and there are quite a few of them and they have quite a different metaphysics…</p>
<p>They introduce non-material bodies also having a role in the causation of disease and they claim that only when these deeper more subtle causes of the disease are removed only then do we have complete healing.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7064" title="Allopathic Medicine" src="http://iquim.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Allopathic-530x300.jpg" alt="Allopathic Medicine" width="530" height="300" /></p>
<p>In other words, in their view the Allopathic doctor cures the symptoms which appear in the physical level. Often times curing the symptom is not synonymous with healing, but only a temporary cure, because the cause of the disease lies in deeper more subtle bodies of the human being.</p>
<p>And unless it is these defects, the subtle defects are which can be done only through methods of Alternative Medicine, the person will not really be healed.</p>
<p>The disease will appear again and healing will call for another treatment temporary cure, if we stick to Allopathic Medicine alone. This is why these medicinal systems are often called complementary. If you have to treat the symptoms with Allopathy maybe, but… if you want healing you must also bring in the Alternative Medicine acting in a complementary way to the Allopathic system.”</p>
<p>We here at Quantum University are creating a forum to share and discuss the wealth of your ideas: Please post any thoughts or comments you have on the questions below, or about Dr. Goswami’s quote above.</p>
<p>What do you personally think the difference is between treating the symptoms and curing the disease?</p>
<p>How do you think our health professionals can benefit from understanding Alternative (Complementary) Medicine?</p>
<p>Have you ever had success with Alternative (Complementary) Medicine where by itself the Allopathic (Contemporary) Medicine failed?</p>

<span id="more-3342"></span></p>
<div id="STtranscriptEmbed_1_t0xaqF0f8WE" class="STplayer STplayerEmbedded STplayerBarebones" data-version="1.0">
<div class="STembedWrapper"><span id="STtranscriptContent1" class="STtranscriptContent">I&#8217;m excited to introduce a new program at IQUIM. </span><span id="STtranscriptContent2" class="STtranscriptContent">The PhD in Integrative Medicine or Health Care Management. </span><span id="STtranscriptContent3" class="STtranscriptContent">My name is Paul Duran, Professor of Integrative Medicine at IQUIM at Quantum University.</p>
<p></span><span id="STtranscriptContent4" class="STtranscriptContent">The PhD in Integrative Medicine will be an extraordinary opportunity to increase your credential and authority in a specific domain. </span><span id="STtranscriptContent5" class="STtranscriptContent">This program will be open to any student that has all ready completed our program in Doctorate in Alternative Medicine or traditional, naturopathy, or are signed up in these programs.</p>
<p></span><span id="STtranscriptContent6" class="STtranscriptContent">Or any student that comes from other school and have completed the equivalent of a similar program.</p>
<p></span><span id="STtranscriptContent7" class="STtranscriptContent">But what will be more for these students? </span><span id="STtranscriptContent8" class="STtranscriptContent">If the doctorate in Alternative Medicine and traditional, naturopathy was will increase your scope of practice, open the door to professional association where you could have access to liability insurance, or access to live assessment, and justify your practice. </span><span id="STtranscriptContent9" class="STtranscriptContent"></p>
<p>Here the PhD adds an extra edge, where you&#8217;re not only increasing your credentials, but also you have the privilege to be set apart from your peers. </span><span id="STtranscriptContent10" class="STtranscriptContent">You can demonstrate, you know, that you have much more expertise in a domain. </span><span id="STtranscriptContent11" class="STtranscriptContent"></p>
<p>Many of our students are already signed up in this program. </span><span id="STtranscriptContent12" class="STtranscriptContent">Why ? </span><span id="STtranscriptContent13" class="STtranscriptContent">Because they want to become the author. </span><span id="STtranscriptContent14" class="STtranscriptContent">And of course, if you if you sign your book with this title of PhD, that will give you another different another edge for publicity. </span><span id="STtranscriptContent15" class="STtranscriptContent">You can also lecture, being a PhD, and you will attract much more clientele.</p>
<p></span><span id="STtranscriptContent16" class="STtranscriptContent">So having a PhD is quite a privilege that will not only offer you all this benefit, but it also position you on the market for better carrier, better position, more offer and an increase of income. </span><span id="STtranscriptContent17" class="STtranscriptContent">And you can also review all these benefits on our website where you can also find all the curriculum of the PhD.</p>
<p></span><span id="STtranscriptContent18" class="STtranscriptContent">And this curriculum is about said context for this thesis. </span><span id="STtranscriptContent19" class="STtranscriptContent">That should be around 7500 pages, a subject that will be something that will be characterized, that you can defend, not only that, but situated in the context of quantum medicine. </span><span id="STtranscriptContent20" class="STtranscriptContent">And this is why we have added to the curriculum Doctor Goswami courses.</p>
<p></span><span id="STtranscriptContent21" class="STtranscriptContent">Like new context for medicine, quantum biology, quantum doctors. </span><span id="STtranscriptContent22" class="STtranscriptContent">That will help you to understand and launch your thesis with much depth, much more grasp on the scientific ground of consciousness and quantum physics. </span><span id="STtranscriptContent23" class="STtranscriptContent">We also offer you a lot of facility to write this paper because sometimes for many of you it&#8217;s something which is impossible. </span><span id="STtranscriptContent24" class="STtranscriptContent"></p>
<p>So you will have a lot of support. </span><span id="STtranscriptContent25" class="STtranscriptContent">You will be mentored by our academic adviser Linda Dube that will describe the methodology of dissertation and be with you all on this long journey, how to really set up, you know, the detail, how to write the thesis. </span><span id="STtranscriptContent26" class="STtranscriptContent">So something that was in the past being like impossible for many of you will be much more easier. </span><span id="STtranscriptContent27" class="STtranscriptContent"></p>
<p>I invite you to look at this program closely. </span><span id="STtranscriptContent28" class="STtranscriptContent">It&#8217;s real a opportunity to change your career, to set you apart from your peers, and not only that.</p>
<p></span><span id="STtranscriptContent29" class="STtranscriptContent">How many of you have this deep desire, wishes to have express some of your hypothesis about healing? </span><span id="STtranscriptContent30" class="STtranscriptContent">And now this is an important day to expose it, write it in a context that will be recognized by everybody.</p>
<p></span><span id="STtranscriptContent31" class="STtranscriptContent">Thank you. </span></div>

		<description><![CDATA[]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In America during the last decade, the future of Natural Medicine, Traditional Naturopathy and Alternative Medicine has been compromised. The regulation of naturopathy in many states and provinces has changed and compromised the atmosphere of freedom for these practices.  Many are concerned by the coming of even more regulation.  On the other hand, after the closing last year of Clayton College, for years a leader in teaching Traditional Naturopathy, little has been done to redefine the standards of training for students who have the desire to make a career in Natural Medicine.<br />
<span id="more-2822"></span><br />
Surprisingly, this is business as usual for most of the institutions in the field of online education.  But how can we expect a different outcome if we keep repeating the same model of education that has been proven a failure when representing the standard of Traditional Naturopathy in America.</p>
<p>Here are some guidelines for a new model of online education for Traditional Naturopathy, Alternative Medicine and Natural Medicine proposed by IQUIM, the Quantum University:</p>
<ul>
<li>To be effective in the 21st century, the training of a student in Natural Medicine should be based on a curriculum that is grounded in the new standard of Science: Quantum Physics. This curriculum should present a comprehensive and integrative approach that is not defined by disease, but rather by positive health. Disciplines such as Homeopathy, Nutrition, Biofeedback, Aromatherapy, Blood Microscopy, Ayurvedic and Chinese Taoist Medicine and others must be explained in a satisfying scientific model.</li>
<li>How information is communicated to the student should be modernized with the use of the latest online technology. The old-fashioned model, where students earn a degree simply by reading books and taking in-home exams, belongs to the past. A major part of modern teaching can and should be done with real-time video classes.  The use of iPad technology makes this not only possible but also practical, simple and effective.</li>
<li>The curriculum and the resulting degree awarded students should be determined by the pertinent regulations of the state or province where the student will be practicing. Institutions have shown a lack of responsibility and a laxity regarding the proper appellation for the degrees they offer, which has created major consequences for students who have inadvertently used inappropriate titles for their practice.</li>
<li>Careful attention should be paid to the right of qualified individuals to practice traditional Medicine, Natural Medicine or Alternative Medicine, both in America and worldwide.</li>
</ul>
<p>Interest in preparing for a career in Natural Medicine and Alternative Medicine is growing and will be more and more an integral part of Health Care for the 21st century.   An updated model for education and a concern for creating the best environment for the cultivation and expression of these practices are essential for their success. IQUIM, the Quantum University, offers just such a model to provide the best and most pertinent education for students interested in becoming an Integrative Health Care Professional.</li>

<h2>Quantum Physics» the Missing Link in Healthcare</h2>
<p>Albert Einstein, the greatest mind of the 20th Century, identified an energy that could be used either to destroy or to heal. Quantum physics is the study of this energy and its relation to all aspects of our everyday reality. In this century, modern science will explore this energy and its avenues for healing.<br />
Its potential for restoring imbalances in the body, mind, and spirit can no longer be disputed. In other words, quantum physicists have put science behind what alternative health practitioners have known for centuries—that the mind and body are one.</p>
<p>The quantum model views health and healing in a multidimensional context, rather than in a traditional linear format. Modern healthcare can advance only by embracing and integrating this new understanding. Therefore, traditional medicine, especially pharmacology and surgery, must be revolutionized and revitalized by the new paradigm of quantum healing, or energy medicine. Quantum University is the logical platform from which to express to the world the significance of quantum physics in alternative and integrative medicine.</p>
<p>By becoming a quantum health practitioner, you gain an in-depth knowledge of these subtle energy and bio-terrain concepts, making you better equipped to address the prevention and reversal of degenerative diseases and aging through natural means.</p>
<p>Quantum physics, as a driving force behind alternative and integrative medicine, gives us new hope for preventing disease and promoting optimal health for every human being.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The concept of natural medicine is not new. In fact, Thomas Edison once said, “The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.&#8221; Today, more and more traditional medicine practitioners are embracing an integrative approach to healing. David M. Eisenberg, MD, Director of the Division for Research and Education in Complementary and Integrative Medical Therapies and the Osher Institute at Harvard Medical School says, “I am a great advocate for what I see as a triangular relationship&#8230;the MD, the patient, the alternative provider in an open circle of communication.”<br />
<span id="more-2294"></span></p>
<blockquote class="pullquote"><p>
The way you think, the way you behave, the way you eat, can influence  your life by 30 to 50 years. Most people believe that aging is universal  but there are biological organisms that never age. &#8211; Deepak Chopra, MD
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Eisenberg contends that consumers, particularly those between 30 and 55, are powering the growth of alternative medicine. According to Eisenberg&#8217;s 1997 testimony before the U.S. Senate, one out of every two boomers uses non-conventional therapies, and what boomers seem to favor is the safe, noninvasive nature of alternative treatments.</p>
<p>Dr. David Edelberg, founder and former chairman of the integrated medicine clinic, WholeHealth in Chicago, says that most users of alternative medicine don&#8217;t want to give up their conventional health care. &#8220;When we opened our center, we found people weren&#8217;t giving up their family doctors, they simply wanted physician-supervised alternative medicine. They wanted a center that had two toolboxes,&#8221; says Edelberg.</p>
<p>And it would appear that more and more conventional doctors are coming around to accepting alternative therapies. &#8220;More papers are appearing on alternative medicine in conventional medicine journals; there&#8217;s a National Institutes of Health division on it; and they themselves are experiencing it,” says Edelberg. “We regularly have doctors coming into our clinic for chiropractic or acupuncture or sending their patients over&#8230;Cardiologists are taking antioxidants and vitamins, and psychiatrists are beginning to realize that St. John&#8217;s wort actually works.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dr. Roger Jahnke, doctor of acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, chairperson of both the Qigong Department at the Santa Barbara (Calif.) College of Oriental Medicine and the National Qigong Association, and author of &#8220;The Healer Within,” says that the real news about the growth of alternative medicine in the West is a shifting of responsibility from the doctor to the patient. He says the key is that we&#8217;re finally realizing how the client, the customer, the patient can also do something, which amounts to not only better health care, but also genuine prevention. &#8220;In fact,” says Jahnke, ”if you do something in a timely way, you might not need to be a patient at all.&#8221;</p>
<p>And some say that the next breakthrough in alternative medicine involves adding quantum science to the mix. According to Dr. Amit Goswami, a quantum physicist who was featured in the film “What The Bleep Do We Know?!” and is Professor Emeritus of physics at the University of Oregon’s Institute of Theoretical Science, has no doubt that quantum medicine is the medicine of the future. “Quantum physics has changed all the equations involved in healing,” says Goswami. “With quantum physics, all experiences can be included. In this way, the mental and the physical can work in parallel when mediated by consciousness.”</p>
<p>It would appear that alternative medicine is no longer on the fringe of health care, but rather is the next quantum leap in health and wellness. And that spells good news for those of us who choose to step up and build careers as alternative health practitioners.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to world-renowned economist Paul Zane Pilzer, the wellness and self-improvement market is expected to reach one trillion dollars in 2010. These millions of people spending billions of dollars to further their wellness represent a new and growing economic sector. Today, for example, this sector spends over $70 billion annually on vitamins and food supplements. These “baby boomers” from the ages of 40 to 60 represent the first generation in history that refuses to blindly accept the aging process. They are also a powerful economic force; they represent only 28 percent of our population—yet this group and their spending represents 50 percent of our economy.<br />
<span id="more-856"></span><br />
In 2000, wellness in America was already a $200 billion industry. Only a handful of years later, it had already doubled to become a $400 billion business. By the year 2010, as Mr. Pilzer stated, it will have become the next trillion-dollar industry. In the last decade, many of the people who had achieved new wealth made their fortunes in computers. In the first decades of this millennium, many more will be making their fortunes in wellness.</p>
<h2>Is there a demand for alternative health practitioners?</h2>
<p>Consider this: Twenty years ago, most of us had never even heard of acupuncture; but now, this &#8220;alternative&#8221; therapy and others like it have become mainstream. The alternative health market is growing—at a brisk rate of 7.9% a year. In fact, nearly half of all Americans are now using alternative therapies, and they&#8217;re spending a great deal of money—a whopping $30 billion a year—for treatments like acupuncture, yoga, massage and homeopathic therapies. And the market is still growing.</p>
<p>Traditional healthcare is largely centered on products and services provided reactively to people after they contract an illness, ranging from a common cold to cancerous tumors. Traditional medicine seeks to either treat symptoms or eliminate disease. Complementary and Alternataive Medicine (CAM) is more centered on products and services provided proactively to healthy people—that is, those without an existing disease—to make them feel even healthier and look better, to slow the effects of aging, or to prevent diseases from developing in the first place. Dissatisfaction with the current state of health care is on the rise, driving more and more people to seek safe and effective alternatives.</p>
<h2>Does the US government recognize complementary and alternative medicine?</h2>
<p>It would seem the federal government is serious about alternative healthcare. So much so that in 1998 the National Institutes of Health (NIH) added a new branch called the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), the Federal Government&#8217;s lead agency for scientific research on the diverse medical and health care systems, practices, and products that are not generally considered part of conventional medicine. NCCAM&#8217;s current annual budget is $125 million.</p>
<p>NCCAM, along with the National Center for Health Statistics (part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) released new findings on Americans&#8217; use of complementary and alternative medicine. The December 2008 study revealed that in 2007 approximately 38 percent of U.S. adults aged 18 years and over and approximately 12 percent of children use some form of CAM. Adults in the United States spent $33.9 billion out of pocket on visits to CAM practitioners and purchases. One third of the total out-of-pocket costs that adults spent was on practitioner visits, which translates to $11.9 billion. Put another way, 38.1 million adults made an estimated 354.2 million visits to practitioners of CAM.</p>
