VISIONS INTERNATIONAL

I had the opportunity this month to host a remarkable guest into our practice, Dr. Jeremy Geffen.  Dr. Jeremy Geffen is a board-certified medical oncologist who has become a nationally and internationally recognized expert in integrative oncology.  Integrative medicine is the practice and study of alternative and complimentary therapies.  He came to Kansas City to present to our practice the possibility of bringing his incredibly unique and powerful program, The Seven Levels of Healing to our practice.  The Seven Levels of Healing is best described as a systematic journey that a newly diagnosed cancer patient takes under the direction of Dr. Geffen and highly trained coordinators to learn the best way in which to deal with their diagnosis. Below is the general outline of his remarkable program.

Level 1: Education & Information

Level 2: Connection with Others

Level 3: The Body as Garden

Level 4: Emotional Healing

Level 5: The Nature of Mind

Level 6: Life Assessment

Level 7: The Nature of Spirit

Lasting 7 weeks this Program is a unique education and support class that gives patients the needed resources to deal with the diagnosis of cancer. We are working hard to bring this program to our practice and are hoping to start the first classes this summer.

 

  Dr. Geffen originated this program in Boulder, Colorado where it has been met with great success.  He has presented the results and outcomes of this program at The Society for Integrative Oncology meeting and also at M.D. Anderson.  We are so excited to be a practice that will be participating in this unique effort to help our patient's deal with the sometimes overwhelming problems that they face as they struggle to comprehend and fight their diagnosis of cancer.  Our staff is also fired up about this program and its potential benefits for their own growth and the growth of our patients.

 

I would strongly encourage anyone who is battling cancer to seek out Dr. Geffen's website and read his book.  The book is a wonderful and powerful statement on the concept that the patients are whole beings.  Treatment of patients must be at every level of their being, including their mind, soul, body, and spirit, not just focused on chemotherapy, radiation therapy and other “traditional “therapies.

I am a frequent reader of your site and would just like to say thank you! I have even been inspired to setup my own blog.

Thanks a lot I really liked reading this. It makes me want to create my own blog! Just what subject though? I am a dentist by profession but cannot imagine many people wanting to read about dentistry? Maybe I am wrong!
