The source and mechanism of healing

  1. Jesus, the source of healing: We recognize our inability to heal anyone. Our patients and guests are instructed to look to Jesus as the only One who heals.

  2. The body has innate healing mechanisms: God has designed the human body with innate healing mechanisms. The main role of healthcare providers and patients is to support the body’s ability to heal.

  3. Addressing root causes: Disease is an effort of nature to correct imbalances in the system. To optimally assist in the body’s healing effort, the root cause of the imbalance should be ascertained. We believe that unhealthy lifestyle patterns are a significant root cause for many chronic diseases.

  4. Divine-Human co-operation: Though God may choose to exercise His healing power on anyone, we believe in the general principle that to seek healing from Jesus while wanting to disobey His physical and moral laws is presumption. We direct our patients to co-operate with God by seeking power from Him to live in obedience to His physical and moral requirements.

Our modalities

  1. Lifestyle medicine is our primary modality: We encourage all our patients to adopt optimal lifestyle habits including but not limited to: sufficient physical activity, adequate rest, wholesome nutrition, fresh air, exposure to sunlight, positive social connections, abstinence from harmful substances and trust in divine power.

  2. Therapies we avoid: homeopathy, psychic or hypnotherapy, reiki, yoga, chakras, reflexology, acupuncture, and other energetic and spiritualistic modalities.

  3. Pharmacotherapy: We believe that in most cases, medications may be an adjunct therapy secondary to lifestyle medicine.

  4. Supplements and natural therapies: Many natural substances such as water, herbs, charcoal, soil and other components of nature can have healing properties. These natural remedies should be used secondary to lifestyle medicine.

  5. De-escalation of supplements and pharmaceuticals: De-escalation of supplements and pharmaceuticals may not be applicable in every situation. However, our general goal is to educate people to live a lifestyle free of supplements and medications. Due to the properties of these agents, patients need to be guided by the appropriate healthcare provider when adjusting dosages.
