Ilchi Lee says that health is not just about resolving any medical issues that arise. It is also about taking steps to keep the body well and preventing illness in the first place. He says that a more holistic approach to healthcare is needed.
Experts are increasingly agreeing with these sentiments. Many major providers are working to incorporate more holistic approaches to keeping their patients well.
For example, Dr. George Kerwin, the CEO of Bellin Health, a hospital in Wisconsin, recently wrote in the Green Bay Press Gazette that his institution recently launched several initiatives to offer more inclusive care to the hospital's employees and those they serve.
The initiative includes efforts to make a broader array of care available to help patients avoid illness and lead healthy lives. Kerwin wrote that this is intended to improve outcomes while lowering costs.
Currently, the healthcare system is mainly focused on treating patients' symptoms. However, Ilchi Lee says that methods like meditation, acupuncture and other forms of spiritual healing can help individuals avoid health problems entirely.
