Isn't it weird? When i'm told to read up on quantum physics, i read up on quantum mysticism. I'm pretty biased. Anyway, some light reading for those interested, Quantum Confusion: Does Modern Physics Support the Psychics?.
Excerpt :
"In the 90’s, Deepak Chopra has written many best selling books with "quantum" in the title, including Quantum Healing: Exploring the Frontiers of Mind/Body Medicine and Ageless Body, Timeless Mind: The Quantum Alternative to Growing Old. In these books Chopra promulgates his brand of alternative medicine, quantum healing, in which the mind alone can heal all ills and afford us virtual immortality."
I hope no one takes this too literally. If you're sick, see a doctor and take medicine. I know many medicines have biased test results. And one might argue taking a placebo pill is no different from using alternative placeboes, so long as one believes enough in the placebo, be it pill or mental. But atleast you get an MC when you visit the doctor...
Once more, i'll leave the delicate intricacies to those who understand the mathematics of both sides of the arguments. This is among one of the many reasons why i always tell Dancin 'Kid that her major is something of envy. Mathematics is used in everywhere.

Deepak Chopra IS a doctor. In fact, he used to teach in med school in the United States. He specialised in clinical endocrinology (glands, hormones etc). He held a very senior position at the Boston Regional Medical Centre in the United States.
ReplyDeleteSo he is. But i think there's a difference between paying for a consultation and buying a book.
