Medicine

Louise Hay has published New Age books regarding the belief that illnesses have a metaphysical origin and can be treated by an evaluation of emotional and spiritual attitudes (a similar belief is held by members of the Church of Christ, Scientist). Hay's books feature lists of diseases and the associated negative belief, accompanied by the correcting positive belief which can be sought by repeating the correcting positive affirmation. The intent is to empower the individual to change their thinking and therefore change the condition. One of the benefits of New Age medicine's popularity, and in particular its criticism of what some describe as the limitations of conventional medicine, has been to encourage medical practitioners to pay closer attention to the entire patient's needs rather than just a specific disease. Such approaches, termed "holistic medicine", have been tentatively embraced by some elements of mainstream medical establishment. Conventional medicine has recognised that a patient's state of mind can be crucial in determining the outcome of many diseases, and this perception has helped recast the roles of doctor and patient as more egalitarian.

Of course many Holistic medicines have been proven by science to be beneficial and equal to modern medicine.
