When I was researching The Human Trial, one of the questions that kept haunting me was: why is Western medicine so quick to dismiss other approaches?
Einstein and Bohr proved over a century ago that everything is energy. Vibrations, frequencies, fields these aren’t new ideas. And yet, when practices that build on these scientific truths appear under the umbrella of Eastern medicine, they’re often labeled “woo-woo,” “fringe,” or “unscientific.”
But here’s the real irony: many of these approaches have been around for thousands of years, practiced, refined, and trusted long before “modern medicine” existed. And more and more scientific studies now point to their validity from acupuncture improving pain management, to meditation measurably lowering stress, to light and frequency therapies showing real results in labs.
So why do we persist in calling them less-than-real? The answer lies in power, money, and control. The same themes I explore in The Human Trial. When one system dominates the narrative, everything outside of it is treated as suspect.
The truth is, no single system has all the answers. But together Western and Eastern, chemical and energetic, ancient and modern they might just offer the wholeness we all crave: health, longevity, and freedom from disease.
That’s why I wrote The Human Trial. Not to provide the answers, but to ask the uncomfortable questions. And to spark the conversation that’s long overdue.
What would change if we stopped dismissing what we don’t understand and started exploring it instead?
