For Amit Goswami, PhD, a leading quantum physicist, medicine is a timely area of application for the new science based on the primacy of consciousness. This new science has a spectacular ability to integrate conventional science, spirituality, and healing. If any field needs integration, says Goswami, it is medicine and healing.
The Quantum Doctor boldly reinterprets the leading methods of alternative medicinehomeopathy, Chinese medicine and acupuncture, and Ayurvedaand of conventional medicine from the viewpoint of quantum physics. He shows that these seemingly different models can be integrated into a new multi-tiered system based on the new "science within consciousness."
At the heart of all illness and healing is consciousness, Goswami says. And The Quantum Doctor gives physicians, practitioners, and patients a whole new way of applying medicine, with a greater likelihood of healing. Goswami calls it integral medicine, and it's based on an integration of the underlying metaphysics of all medicine models. "This is a very new approach. This can be the legitimate basis for a paradigm shift in medicine."

About the author

Amit is a retired professor of physics from the University of Oregon, where he served on the faculty from 1968 to 1997.
The meaning of quantum physics was highly obscured. While researching this, Amit discovered that when quantum physics is formulated within the metaphysics of qualified non-dualism, as in Indian Vedanta, questions regarding meaning are immediately resolved. His work thus integrates science and spirituality. This work has culminated in his most recent book with the physician Valentina Onisor, Quantum Spirituality.
Subsequently, he developed a theory of reincarnation and integrated conventional and alternative medicine within the new quantum science of health. Among his discoveries are the quantum theory of the creative process, the theory of quantum evolution, and the theory of quantum economics that extends Adam’s Smith’s capitalism into a workable paradigm for the 21st century.
In 2009, he started a movement called “quantum activism,” now gaining ground in North and South America, Southern and Eastern Europe, and India. In 2018, together with his collaborators, he established Quantum Activism Vishwalayam, an institution of transformative education in India, based on quantum science and the primacy of consciousness. This program offers master’s and PhD programs in the Quantum Science of Health, Prosperity and Happiness under the auspices of University of Technology, Jaipur.
Amit is the author of numerous books, most notably: The Self-Aware Universe, Physics of the Soul, The Quantum Doctor, God is Not Dead, Quantum Creativity, and The Everything Answer Book.
He was featured in the movie What the Bleep Do We Know!? and the documentaries Dalai Lama Renaissance and The Quantum Activist.
Amit is a spiritual practitioner and calls himself a quantum activist in search of Wholeness.

12/26/14 - Well, I am officially quite disappointed with this book. My hopes for an intelligent appraisal of evaporated towards the middle or second half of the tome. At first, phrases like "Consciousness comes first; it is the ground of all being" had me thinking it might address the concept to which Kelly alluded in "What Technology Wants", but that turned out to be misleading. He also mentioned that "According to von Neumann, when we measure a quantum object, consciousness changes the quantum waves of possibility of the object into an actual event of experience." which seems like a reasonable way to approach the topic.
But then Goswami delves into the shaman-istic stupid: his story of how a sadhu "proved" he has spiritual power by touching Goswami's brother on his stomach and saying "Your ulcer is cured" and - voilá! - his brother experienced no pain after eating a heavily spiced meal. Sure, that couldn't be explained by some psychosomatic effect, could it?
He goes on to "explain" how homeopathy works - essentially it's not a matter of zero molecules of the curative agent being in the solution any more (thanks to infinite dilutions) but the "conscious plane" level of impact said magical substance has on said solution that causes the curative effect. Right.
When he stars citing himself it becomes apparent that he has little else to work with but his prior ramblings.
As he explains to us how acupuncture works, he states "The acupuncture probe is designed to be a trigger of the correctional mechanism for the vital imbalance" but my question is how does the real-molecular structure of the needle interact with this theoretical vital-level of reality in which consciousness resides? To me this is more pablum designed to sound scientifical but in truth meaning nothing.
He says "Creativity is an undeniable compnent of bilogical beings" but I wonder if he includes beings like mosquitos or paramecium or rose bushes or rabbits. I mean, where does one draw the line? Birds that have figured out how to use tools?
Later, he explains, when talking about the immune system, that "It makes sense that this malfunction may be due to the malfunction of the vital blueprint..." which kleads me to ask if the common cold "may be due" to the rhinovirus? Is this the escape clause when the homeopathic cure fails to do anything?
He brings up evolution as the result of mutations, which themselves are quantum processes. He states "consciousness waits until many possiblities accumulate and develop into a gestalt that consciousness recognizes." Which makes me wonder, when life bgan on Earth 3.5 billion years ago and single cell anaerobic life forms were all that were present, what consciousness decided that some aggregate of mutations was "good to go"?
Perhaps the greatest argument for the siliness (and disappointment) of this book is at the end, when he says "The third type of evidence is more controversial. The idea is that recently there has been an increase of visitors to us from "outer space".....now why would such people come to visit us unles we are ready to make the evolutionary leap to their level?"
Why, indeed.
On the other hand, it is regrettable that Goswami, at the time of this writing apparently was not aware of the revolution of the Whole Foods Plant-Based diet, for if he were, he would not have had that heart operation, but gone on the Esselstyn diet, and he would not have made exception for allopathy for viagra, for ED is merely an early warning for cardiovascular disease and the only known actual cure is a whole-foods, plant-based diet without added sugar, oil or salt. Nor would he have allowed cholesterol lowering drugs, they all produce more harm than good. The whole foods plant-based diet will fix your cholesterol in short order. In short there are now two paradigm shifts going on, one is that of "let food be thy medicine," based on the new nutritional paradigm of plant-based food, which followed from the China Study. That empowers the patient to take responsibility for their health, or in other words, that shifts the focus to the mind of the patient. That is where The Quantum Doctor comes in. That really makes it clear that well being is a decision in the mind, which then may be executed by, among other things, choosing a plant-based diet. if you stay trapped in the physiological logic of the Newtonian reality of the body, and the neurophysiological problems such as The Pleasure Trap, there is not much hope for breaking out of the food addiction.
Applying insights from Quantum Physics to integrated health and medicine should help explain the many phenomena we experience which the present Healthcare system tends to ignore and/or has no expanation for.
The transformation from the previous Cartesian/Newtonian model of the world (and us humans) to a more holistic one is already happening and this book provides a great contribution to a better understanding of the new model.
Amit's attempt to provide a basis for Eastern health concepts do require a more in-depth knowledge to understand them.
Proactive Sustained Integrative Health is definitely the way forward for our present (failing) Western Healthcare system.
