Regarding all manner of spiritual- mystical - metaphysical healing work,

In short we are seeing a better effect from clients or practicioners who are connected in some way to Halacha (Jewish Law)

than from people who are working in these realms without any Halachic connection.

Within Halacha there is a great range from machel (lenient and easy-going)  to machmir (strict) interpretations of the Law.

If you are working or practicing Complementary Medicine and Health and dealing with any aspect besides strictly 'physical medicine',

we highly recommend you have the patience to find someone in the Klal (the whole of) Israel who can help interpret your work in relation to Jewish Law.

This includes clients and practicioners of The Nations (non-Jews).

Basically, the field of Jewish Medical Ethics is just too good not to make use of.

Very safe.  Very fair.  Very Balanced.

Finding someone definitive and relevent who can help you interpet Medical Ethics can take a lot of patience and I really recommend applying that patience.

For those who wish, we also have the research to 'scare the heck out of you' regarding the mixing of occult and unsavory practices into holistic health treatment.

It's a wild world out there.

And ignorance is not bliss.  There are seemingly endless weird, culty, and flat-out demonic influences currently in the world of holistic.

Without getting too uptight, it's really good to know what is going on before you dive into anything.

PS-    If anyone has opinions about Medical Ethics Professionals or Traditions that they feel are as a whole more useful than that of the Jewish Medical Ethics I am always eager to field research and make contacts.

The Jerusalem Health School and Clinic is committed to providing  'kosher' alternative medical and health services  in light of  Jewish Spiritual Law.

 We committ to providing access to any and all that healing and health methods that can serve our clientelle and students. 

This means we commit to also bring in all the highest safe and 'clean' spiritual and psychic approaches.

I have been researching this all over the years, in part, with:

Rav Yakov Hillel,

Rav Ben Shor (who sits on the 'Nascent Sanhedrin'),   hdvash at gmail.com

'Guru' Gil Locks, 02 627 7959

Rav David Fink,    054 598 9658

Menachem Kallus, 

and Simcha Hochbaum.  052 784 2437

Again, on the whole our direction is to include absolutely anything helpful from the Holistic movements and to screen out absolutely anything counter to the good.

 Of course this whole process is really more of an art than a science, as is Medicine in general...

 We also appreciate and recommend the work of the  The Schlesinger Institute for Jewish Medical Ethics.  

Your questions and research is really welcomed!
