Matrix of Multiple Orientations
Matrix of Multiple Orientations
Integrated medicine and biodynamic healing have lost their foothold in modern medical science, and landed in the quagmire of poorly researched alternative approaches. On this website we aim to create a Matrix of Multiple Orientations that respects the value of scientific research while incorporating aspects of medicine and healing that are often excluded from pragmatic medical practice.
For the past few centuries, medical science has been extending the frontiers of our understanding, but now its gains are often smothered by undiscerning greed. Thus, in a world that believes that science will provide us with absolute answers to convert all our uncertainties into predictable facts, scientific ‘fact’ has unfortunately also become a misleading form of security. Whenever an existing conviction is proven wrong, science eagerly replaces it with a new categorical truth, especially when it supports the selling of new products. Thus, paradoxically, we have an ever-changing set of absolute realities, which are amplified to the point of absurdity by the media. At the same time alternative health practices have all too often become a forum from which conventional medical science can be attacked in unselective and emotional ways. Thin veils of logic conceal an underlying desire for ultimate answers to illness and death, a yearning for miraculous healing. In this alternative field validated research is rare, and healing methods often become idealistic ‘shelters’ detached from biological reality. Hundreds of health trends, each claiming to have the final solution, simply amount to a supermarket of contrasting beliefs.
We, however, trust that a combination of flexible personal experience and the inherent suppleness of true science will enable us to find a creative middle ground from where we could address multifaceted conditions such as metabolic syndrome and chronic fatigue syndrome. Irrespective of how advanced our medical knowledge and treatment methods have become, they do not address the subtle aspects of our system’s inner organisation, aspects that are vital to health and healing. By combining inner biological organization with the symbolic structures we use to describe it, we are able to get a fresh perspective into the cause and treatment of modern stress-related diseases.
Bio-analysis presents us with such a contemporary analytic model. It creates the opportunity for a coherent health environment that accommodates individual perspectives without sacrificing the sound principles of modern medical research. Nothing is more important in a modern world where fragmented medical services and excessive health information can cause confusion and abuse at every level.
