About Russell Jaffe
For half a century, I have been investigating, researching, and communicating. As a physician and scientist, I aspired to be comprehensive, objective, empiric, and experiential. I started my career that included a passion for deeper understanding, wisdom, evidence, and insight into mechanisms of good and ill health.Starting from intense curiosity and learned skepticism, I sought to debunk the best-known advocates of a variety of traditional health promotion and healing systems. What started as a journey to disprove holistic forms of care became a rich educational experience that transformed me into a student and then researcher in such areas as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), acupuncture, active meditation, systems biology, and manipulative arts.I came to stunning realizations. The Western model of healthcare I studied, trained in, and researched was fundamentally flawed. I learned that symptom suppression is not the same as personalized health promotion; sick care is not the same as healthful caring; abstract information is not the same as relevant wisdom. I rediscovered that treating disease is not the same as helping whole people heal.
