Changing Paradigms in Cancer
By Simon Mitchell
A paradigm is a sort of cultural, consensual pattern
of thought or model of something. For example the ‘current consensus
in scientific medicine’. Paradigms change, like the impact of
Galileo’s work on disproving the flat-earth theory or Copernicus’
heresy that the Earth moves round the Sun. New ideas meet a great
deal of resistance from orthodox philosophy but eventually give rise
to a changed perception of the world we live in.
We live now in a time of ‘paradigm shift’
which creates fundamental changes in our assumptions about the world,
and even this contributes to modern stress! Although our physical
sciences have discovered new fields of quantum reality, medical science
is lagging far behind. Philosophy has traditionally been an important
part of medical practice since the medieval days of Paracelsus, even
Hippocrates, an ancient Greek (and originator of the Hippocratic Oath).
How we perceive the world and our part in it is central
to how we perceive the role of dis-ease and our reaction to it. One
of the present problems of finding effective cancer treatment within
Western scientific medicine is a ‘paradigm gap’.
There are different perceptions of the world at work
speaking incompatible languages. These have deep roots in our philosophy.
This gap is presently condemning millions of people world-wide to
suffer treatments for cancer that are often as destructive as the
disease itself.
Paradigm 1: The mechanistic view
This can be traced back to Descartes and other scientists
such as Sir Isaac Newton. The universe is a vast machine and we are
all cogs, all with our part to play in its function.
The healthy body is a well made clock and if it goes
wrong we simply take it apart and tinker with the insides until it
goes again. If it breaks it doesn’t really matter because there
are plenty more where that came from. Nothing exists unless it has
been proven through logical methods.
Cancer: something had gone wrong with this
body, it has a lump. Cut it out and throw the lump away.
Paradigm 2: The anthropomorphic view
This paradigm is central to the philosophy of Darwinism
and others who helped set humans as ‘apart and above’,
or at the head of other life forms. Humanity is the supposed crown
of creation, we are created to lord it over every other creature as
‘head of the food chain’.
The planet is ours to dominate and exploit to our
own demands. We must conquer every mountain and battle against disease.
We are the most evolved and dominant species in a process of natural
selection. We exist for no purpose and have just evolved through sheer
luck.
In this world our media fantasy industries create
pigs and fish that can talk human. Animals are anthropomorphised through
culture to have the same needs, desires and dreams as humans. The
animals, forests, oceans and environment around us exist purely for
our convenience. This paradigm is human self-centred and exploitative
to everything including ourselves.
Cancer: something has gone wrong with this
body, it has grown an enemy inside it. I will root it out and battle
with it.
Paradigm 3: The Gaian view (an emerging paradigm)
This paradigm started with Einstein and the science
of energy. Its inception combines an age when we saw the first images
of the Earth as a whole entity from space. James Lovelock and his
search for life on Mars is a central figure in its development through
his identification of the Gaia Hypothesis regarding Earth.
This planet we inhabit is a self-balancing, homeostatic
system similar to our own as single biological entities. It maintains
the optimum conditions for life despite our best efforts to pollute
it.
Our bodies are a miracle of biology, constantly flexible
and adaptive but easy to harm. Anything we do to it or each other,
we do to ourselves as we are part of the same ‘web’ or
‘circle’ of life. We exist for a purpose but do not yet
know what it is. We are part of an evolving cycle of life, a happening
miracle.
Cancer: something has gone wrong with this
body, it is trying to tell me something. I will listen to it and get
help to understand why it has happened and what I need to learn and
do to get better.
