Join Us at the United Nations General Assembly Science Summit 2024: Advancing Global Health Through Science and Holistic Healing

The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) Science Summit is set to take place from September 10-27, 2024, in New York, with sessions available to livestream worldwide. This year’s summit promises to bring together global minds dedicated to advancing science, collaboration, and innovation across multiple fields, particularly in healthcare. Among the exciting offerings, we are thrilled to announce a unique workshop focusing on the integration of medical care and holistic healing scheduled for September 23rd, 2024, from 4:00 to 6:00 PM.

The Essence of Healing: Beyond Traditional Definitions

The term “to cure,” as defined in the dictionary, suggests a return to health. However, does curing solely pertain to the eradication of illness? Alternatively, should we adopt a broader perspective that encompasses emotional, psychological, and spiritual well-being? This question leads us directly into the heart of one of the most pervasive health challenges of our time—cancer.

Often referred to as “the emperor of all maladies,” cancer evokes a profound emotional response, igniting feelings of fear, anxiety, and even hopelessness among those affected, their loved ones, and the healthcare professionals who treat them. The dialogue surrounding cancer can initiate a biochemical cascade within the body that impacts overall health. Stress, anxiety, and dissociation often become a part of the experience, affecting the individual’s nervous system and their ability to engage meaningfully with their health.

A Holistic Approach to Cancer Care

At the Science Summit, we aim to shift the paradigm by emphasizing a holistic view of patient care—one that recognizes the interplay of emotional, psychological, relational, physical, and spiritual factors in healing. Our mission is to re-empower patients, fostering a sense of agency while facilitating a collaborative and regulated partnership with medical professionals. Such a comprehensive approach not only addresses the symptoms of illness but seeks to restore wholeness and genuine health.
