Abstract

[The biomedical model of health exclusively focuses on the body’s dysfunctions, or even on the dysfunctioning of a single organ or a single genetic anomaly supposed to be causally responsible for the patient’s illness. In contrast to this approach, and in accordance with Hippocrates’ holistic line of thought, the systemic, quantum-like approach presented here conceives of illness as an imbalance in the patient’s psychosomatic state. Healing a person’s illness will thus consist in rebalancing this state. This rebalancing can be done by changing the relative weights of the specific psychophysical correlations encoded in this state, which needs to take into account their subjective life in an essential way. Mind-body entanglement can explain the existence of a body memory which, in turn, explains the genesis and evolution of internal diseases and suggests the development of holistic therapies. In particular, the concept of mind-body entanglement provides new insights on mental disorders, their classification and their relationship with brain functioning. Furthermore, it provides a theoretical framework for explaining consistently paradigmatic self-healing techniques, which remain totally enigmatic within the classical, causal-local framework. This is the case of the placebo “effect”, biofeedback and the healing power of meditation. Mind-body entanglement also explains the possibility of distant healing, for which significant data have been reported.]
