Journazza

Recently the Norwegian Minister of Health, Bjarne Håkon Hanssen, announced that he had called the so-called miracle man from Snåsa.
Immediately the media exploded with stories, and started criticising Hanssen. It didn’t think Hanssen should say such things when he is head of the Ministry for Health Services. The Norwegian national association for GPs was particularly sceptical and harsh in its comments in tv debates. They claim that despite the fact that healing can work, they say, it will only work in nine out of ten cases, and they have the proof. Therefore, one should not give people false hopes.

I’m sorry. Did they not learn anything about Hippocrates, the founder of medical science, the and Hipocrates Oath? ,

I swear by Apollo, Asclepius, Hygieia, and Panacea, and I take to witness all the gods, all the goddesses, to keep according to my ability and my judgment, the following Oath. To consider dear to me, as my parents, him who taught me this art; to live in common with him and, if necessary, to share my goods with him; To look upon his children as my own brothers, to teach them this art. I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone. I will not give a lethal drug to anyone if I am asked, nor will I advise such a plan; and similarly I will not give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion. But I will preserve the purity of my life and my arts. I will not cut for stone, even for patients in whom the disease is manifest; I will leave this operation to be performed by practitioners, specialists in this art. In every house where I come I will enter only for the good of my patients, keeping myself far from all intentional ill-doing and all seduction and especially from the pleasures of love with women or with men, be they free or slaves. All that may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profession or in daily commerce with men, which ought not to be spread abroad, I will keep secret and will never reveal.
If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practice my art, respected by all men and in all times; but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my lot.

How can they reject something which may work, and which is proven to work? We have an amazing brain, and a power to heal ourselves. However, you have to believe it can happen. And that has nothing to do with religion. The Snåsa-man said he doesn’t know how he heals people, but he does heal people. It is the power of positive thinking and love that heals. I feel sorry for the doctors, and I get frustrated and annoyed when they lie to their patients. Most of all, I loose faith and respect for them. As a patient, I want to know all possible treatments, no matter how obscure they are. I believe surgery indeed is the last option, and if you treat the body only, you have only treated the symptom and not the cause, which may be in your brain. So please doctors, can you not open your mind and realize that we are holistic beings and that the mind and body is connected? Thanks….
