The New Paradigm in Medicine: An Introduction

This second section of the current special issue is devoted to new research in medicine. What comes out from this set of articles is that the new paradigm of medicine is shifting the focus toward an understanding and emphasis on the role of coherent information. That is, disease is primarily a lack, blockage, or incorrect assimilation (programming) of information between bodily functions and between the human body and its environment. The new paradigm of integrative health sees well-being within a holistic context—as open complex systems responsive and adaptive to environmental stimuli and exterior-interior informational flows. Health is about biological information in coherence and resonance. The articles in this section on the new paradigm in medicine share a commonality by seeing an information-based integrative medicine as pivotal in supporting the health of individuals; and for a non-linear, holistic view of human and environmental well-being. Pier Mario Biava’s article, “New Views in the Integrative Treatment of Oncologic Disease: Stem Cell Differentiation Stage Factors and Their Role in Tumor Cell Reprogramming,” explores in deep clarity and depth his approach to the reprogramming of cancer cells. Biava sees the difficulty in bridging the gap to a new scientific paradigm as centered on how we are able to shift our view from reductionism to complexity. A new paradigm in medicine is essentially a matter of perspective; and one that is badly needed in order to acquire a deeper and more complete knowledge of cancer. Similarly, Maria Sagi’s article, “The New Homeopathy: A New Paradigm in Information Medicine,” views the maintenance of health in the organism as being essentially a matter of maintaining its coherence—and this depends on the information that codes the organism. Sagi discusses a new kind of medical science in the realm of “information medicine” that is termed “New Homeopathy.” New Homeopathy belongs to the field of complementary medicine in that it explores the reaction of the organism to the subtle energetic impulses coming from its environment. That is, how the self-healing processes of the organism can be activated based on communication on the subtle energy level. New Homeopathy is a new paradigm that examines the way in which energetic and informational processes taking place in the outside world affect the overall coherence of the entire body.
