• Era III is mind/body medicine with a different slant. It's a collective mind, a mind not localized to the brain or the body. It's mind possibly affecting many bodies, across space. Mind that is not localized to the present moment, breaking time barriers, as in the recent studies where people received a message three days before it was sent. Temporal nonlocality.
  Dr. Larry Dossey,  Healing Words, Magazin Living on Light, 1995

So wie Himmel und Erde zusammen gehören,
also auch Himmel und Mensch.
Und weil der Mensch aus Erde ist, soll er mit irdischen,
weil er aus dem Himmel ist, auch mit himmlischen Mitteln erkannt werden.
Also sind Menschen, Himmel und Erde, auch Luft und Wasser ein Ding.
Das soll dem Arzt vor allem bewusst sein.
Paracelsus, Theophrastus von Hohenheim

• For more than a century the profession of medicine has tried to become increasingly scientific and technical, because this is where we believed the future of healing lay. Now a monumental shift is occurring, empowered by the evidence that consciousness is a powerful factor in the world. Larry Dossey, M.D., Reinventing Medicine,
  ÄRA I → Ära III

• […] to summarize where we stand data-wise, Dr. Wayne Jonas, who is the former director of the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, recently did a review and came up with 2,200 papers and citations in this field of remote healing. Over two hundred of these studies were controlled clinical trials and laboratory studies. The quality of the studies is quite good. Using what are called CONSORT criteria, he was able to assign either an "A" or a "B" level of excellence to these studies in remote healing. Eighteen of these studies are major controlled studies in humans, eleven of which show statistically significant results. The laboratory studies look at the effects of people's intentions on nonhumans  – rabbits, mice, rats, plants, even bacteria growing in test tubes, fungi, yeast, and so on.

• Smart Publications: How do you see spirituality and medicine becoming more integrated in the future?
  Larry Dossey: That’s inevitable. One of the most telling indicators is how medical schools have responded. Back in 1993, when I first began to publish in this field with a book called Healing Words, there were only three medical schools in the country that had any coursework exploring the role of spirituality in health, out of one hundred and twenty-five medical schools total. Now ninety schools offer such coursework. That is a historic development. Ninety medical schools have either formal courses, a lecture series, or some feature of their curriculum that honors and addresses this field [of spirituality]. So it's kind of a done deal. […]
  Planck said that science changes funeral by funeral. And as Einstein once said, It's harder to crack a prejudice than an atom. I used to believe that it's possible to come up with such compelling evidence that it would change things overnight. Well, that didn't happen in physics, and it's not going to happen in medicine. These things always take awhile. Moreover, there are some physicians who are so resistant to these ideas about consciousness and healing that they will never come around. They'll simply die off, as Planck suggested. Interview with Dr. Larry Dossey, Medicine and Spirituality, presented by  Smart Publications, David Jay Brown, January 2006

• Energy medicine is the future of all medicine. Dr. med. C. Norman Shealy, neuro surgeon, founder and president of the American Holistic Medical Association

• We physicians desperately need to restore our sense of the visionary, to fight to keep the spirit of medicine alive. And the future of that spirit lies in the integration of technological advances with intuition, the wedding of heart and mind. Prof. Dr. Judith Orloff, assistant professor of psychiatry, UCLA, Los Angeles, USA

• Let us assume that eighty percent of illnesses are either self-limited or not treatable by modern medicine. (ÄRA I Medizin) Ten percent are miraculously cured (ÄRA III Medizin) and nine percent are made worse. Thus, we wind up barely on the positive side of zero. Franz Ingelfinger, editor New England Journal of Medicine, Editorial, 1977

• Acceptance of illness is often part of a larger acceptance of self that represents a significant mental shift, a shift that can initiate transformation of personality and with it the healing of disease. Andrew Weil M.D., Spontaneous Healing. How to Discover and Enhance Your Body's Natural Ability to Maintain and Heal Itself

• Data that goes into the subconscious during a trauma cannot be released from the subconscious until a shift of the same magnitude or intensity is again attained. As a result, though we might be able to recall the traumatic event, we cannot change any attitude we may have toward the experience (trauma). Neither can we alter how we feel or release the experience until we reach the amplitude of the original traumatic event again. Rosalyn L. Bruyere, healer, Wheels of Light

• The recently developing Era III [in medicine] goes even further by proposing that consciousness is not confined to one's individual body. Nonlocal mind – mind that is boundless and unlimited – is the hallmark of Era III. An individual's mind may affect not just his or her body, but the body of another person at a distance, even when that distant individual is unaware of the effort. [...] Era III as illustrating the transpersonal effects of the mind.
  [...] The evidence supporting Era III implies that there are no boundaries to consciousness, that it is infinite in space and time. If our minds are unbounded, then they must unite or come together at some level. This means that in some sense we are literally one. The implications of this unity are profound. If our minds are connected, then we can, and do, share any and all experiences. All the joys and sorrows of life can be mutual affairs. This means we are never alone, which relieves the twin burdens of loneliness and isolation, two major factors in illness.
  The biggest payoff of Era III concerns our destiny. If our mind is nonlocal and boundless, then it is infinite in time. Therefore, the death of the body does not mean that consciousness ceases to exist; something about us endures. Era III, therefore, carries with it the promise of immortality, which is a cure for the "disease" that has caused more suffering for humans than any other: the fear of death.

• Never must the physician say, the disease is incurable. By that admission he denies God, our Creator; he doubts Nature with her profuseness of hidden powers and mysteries.   Morris Fishbein M.D. (1889-1976) editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association, The Medical Follies, last page, 1925

• Only when people withdraw their faith in mental health and mental illness will they see fit to curb the powers of psychiatry, just as only when they withdrew their blind faith in God and the Devil did they see fit to curb the powers of [priests]. Thomas Szasz

• Tell me not what disease the patient has, but what patient has a disease. Hippocrates

• Conventional medicine works with the iron filings, whereas a deeper form of healing would attempt to influence the magnetic field.  Most doctors don't see the field, so they're trying to figure out the relationship between the filings without even trying to incorporate the energy field in which they exist. Bruce Lipton, cellular biologist, author, and former associate professor at the University of Wisconsin’s School of Medicine, presaged the field of epigenetics, the mechanism by which nurture controls nature, cited in The Translucent Revolution, Arjuna Ardagh

• After 20 years of studying the medical literature I have concluded that modern medicine is not a science. For all the science-speak in medicine about painstakingly controlled study and meticulous peer review – for all the attempt to cloak medicine in the weighty mantle of science – a good deal of what we regard as standard medical practice today amounts to little more than 21st century voodoo. Medicine’s current understanding of the body, which is essentially as a broken piece of machinery to be repaired, never takes into account the body’s extraordinary potential to operate beyond the empirical. What are we to make of the 8 per cent of breast cancer that just disappears by spontaneous remission? What are we to make of the fact that the placebo effect works more than two-thirds of the time?

• Now, you might think Ignaz Semmelweis would have been lauded as a hero. Instead, his brilliant observations and courageous actions stirred up such controversy that he lost his position at the hospital and ended his career in disgrace at Budapest. He was eventually committed to an insane asylum and died of a blood infection similar to the one he had prevented so successfully. This courageous doctor was vindicated in 1879 when the great scientist Louis Pasteur personally defended Semmelweis' theories at a meeting of the Academy of Medicine in Paris. Dale A. Matthews, The Faith Factor, p. 57-58, Viking, New York, 1998
