“Today in medicine the spiritual dimension is missing“. Doctor Franco Berrino, author together with Enrica Bortolazzi of The Mandala of Life (Mondadori) explained how despite the great advances in medicine in the field of treatment, respect for the patient is still lacking. “With all this very important investment to control the Covid 19 pandemic we have witnessed what is medicine today: basically technology. While in the great traditions that we have examined, medicine is also something else. Maimonides, the great Jewish doctor of Cordoba in 1200 said: “To cure, a doctor must first heal himself and in any case he must become a spiritual teacher”. Somehow what is missing in medicine today is the spiritual dimension. A size of great respect for man”.
Berrino then recalled that to prevent many diseases we have forgotten “that man can do a lot to improve his immune system with his lifestyle and nutrition “. Finally, the gloss: “We are becoming better and better as doctors, sensational progress, we are becoming more and more specialists in restricted fields and we forget the global vision that instead the ancient traditions teach us“.
