The scientific papers
The scientific papers come in about 10 series of papers on related issues (table 2). The most important are listed below with links to PDFs.
Table 2. The most important series of papers that constitute the research protocol in clinical holistic medicine
- QOL methodology describes the method used to measure quality of life used with the Quality of Life Survey Study at the Copenhagen University Hospital (Rigshospitalet), Denmark.
- QOL philosophy describes the philosophy behind our work with quality of life presented in the books “Quality of life. To seize the meaning of life and get well again” (1995), “Life philosophy that heals. Quality of life as medicine” (1999), “Consciousness-based medicine” (2003) and “Principles of Holistic Medicine. Philosophy behind quality of life” (2005). These are publications describing the philosophy on which the entire project is based.
- QOL theory covers the related life and human points of view described theoretically.
- QOL questionnaires are the questionnaires used in the Quality of Life Survey Study and later studies.
- QOL results are results from the Quality of Life Survey Study.
- Theories of existence are new theories on quality of life and the human nature described coherently and concisely.
- Holistic medicine describes our research program for the holistic-medical project ― a new research paradigm for researching alternative and holistic medicine and a theory for process of holistic healing.
- QOL as medicine describes results from the treatment of patients suffering from various chronic diseases, like chronic pains, alcoholism and Whiplash Associated Disorders.
- Clinical holistic medicine describes how to deal with the variety of problems presented by the patients in the medical clinic using holistic medicine.
- Human development is a series of papers to address a number of unsolved problems in biology today. First of all, the unsolved enigma concerning how the differentiation from a single zygote to an adult individual happens has been object for severe research through decades. By uncovering a new holistic biological paradigm that introduces an energetic-informational interpretation of reality as a new way to experience biology, these papers try to solve the problems connected with the events of biological ontogenesis from a single cell involvement in the fractal hierarchy, to the function of the human brain and “adult human metamorphosis”.
- Quality of working life research is a series of paper that addresses the fundamental needs for happiness and efficiency the working situation. This applies to physicians and therapists as well as other occupations. The series of paper analyses how we can develop in our job, and continue to learn and grow, and avoid the routine and boredom that in the end forces us to compromise with quality and patience.
