founder of an oasis of healing
Integrative CFCs Healing Center
Thomas Lodi, MD, MD(H)
In addition to his work as a physician over the past 39 years, Dr Lodi had been and continues to be an historian, philosopher, nutritionist, and clinical psychologist.
After completing his medical education and subsequent advanced training, Dr Lodi worked in various intensive care units (ICUs) and emergency departments for approximately 10 years, when he realized that he could no longer ethically practice conventional medicine.
He consequently closed his practice and traveled to various countries to apprentice with a variety of practitioners in the healing arts & sciences before returning to New York where he established one of the first integrative oncology centers.
In 2005, Dr Lodi transferred his practice to Mesa, Arizona where he founded An Oasis of Healing, which still stands as, perhaps the only comprehensive integrative oncology center.
In addition to utilizing all of the various healing modalities from conventional and alternative and indigenous healing disciplines, Oasis provides education and training in every aspect of living from soap to spirit, so that upon returning home, graduates are now capable of living a life that will not result in illness of any kind.
In 2012, Dr Lodi moved to Thailand as a first step to bring this level of healing to Asia, where it is predicted that the majority of the world’s people will develop CFCs. Over the subsequent 13 years he was able to open 4 centers in Thailand and 1, thus far in Malaysia while he continues to teach and train physicians and
The next part of the journey will to expand to India and Vietnam, while still keeping both Thailand and the original center in Arizona growing and strong.
MY MISSION
YOU WILL NEVER NEED ANOTHER
DOCTOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
Health is Our Heritage
It is our philosophy to respect the laws of life and to defer to the inherent powers of the living organism for healing.
The power to heal is an innate biological process and can be refined to the level of miraculous through the harmonious balance between mind, body and spirit.
Natural Laws of Health
In biology, as in all sciences, there are natural laws. Health is the exuberant, dynamic balance that is the natural consequence of adherence to these laws.
Humans, unfortunately, have lost the natural instincts possessed by the “lesser animals” which allows them to effortlessly follow their natural requirements regarding food, water, exercise, rest, interactions with others and with nature.
In any true science of health, it is impossible to separate the preservation of health from its recovery, prevention from remedy.
Health and Healing
To suppose there is something essentially different between maintaining health and restoring it is absurd.
Who so ever knows how to recover from illness, also knows also how to remain well, and who ever knows how to remain well, has already learned what is required to get well.
true second opinion
No one healing discipline
can solve all health problems
So a true second opinion is necessary to understand what different modalities are available to each person depending upon where they are in their journey towards health.
THE TRUE WELLNESS
As a consequence of the geometric growth in technology with its’ attendant toxic cloud enveloping, both humanity and nature, the biosphere steadily diminishes in breadth and strength through disease, death and extinction.
Trapped in this cloud and amid the growing alienation of modern life, increasing numbers of bewildered people are searching for a return to “a more normal way of life”. Confused, anxious, and even panicked by the increasing chaos of misinformation and deliberate falsehoods, people are searching frenetically through a bewildering quagmire of divergent and opposing information for an elusive “cure”.
Health's Foundation
Somehow, over time we have substituted the word cure (originally meaning care) for the term heal.
The same raw materials and environmental influences that are required to recover health are necessary to maintain it, differing only in, perhaps proportions and frequencies.
Therefore, health is not restored by the use of substances (synthetic chemicals) that have no biochemical or physiological requirement to vital functions, but rather by the use of those same materials and conditions that are the continuous source of the daily renewal and homeostasis (dynamic balance), thus obeying the fundamental principle that health is our natural state.
Both the principles and practices of any viable system of healthcare should be based upon the biological and biochemical realities of nature. Any plan of living, in either health or disease, that is not based upon the laws of nature is destined to result in both failure and disappointment to all who follow it.
Heal From Within
The greatest discovery ever made in our knowledge regarding healing was not the discovery of the purported healing properties of some poisonous chemical but that healing powers reside within living organisms and not in things that are extrinsic to (outside) them. As a consequence of this discovery, the search for “cures” should have been abandoned years ago.
The processes of living require maintaining the integrity of the organism in the face of constant wear and tear and frequent injury. Healing is an integral and continuous function of living. Every moment involves healing. We, therefore, need only to restore those conditions required for the natural laws of life to function without impediments so that healing will prevail over destructive influences resulting in imbalances individually named as diseases.
A large part of the collective intellect of humanity is spent searching for poisons with which to treat the sick, however the question remains:
Why would it be necessary for sick human beings to be poisoned? Has nature (God) so poorly and unnaturally produced creatures that they would require being poisoned when sick if they are to return once again to their natural state of health?
The relationship
We believe that the relationships between healers and those seeking health are sacred. These relationships define the fundamental “soil” in which health can emerge and blossom.
In conventional medical circles, the relationship between doctor and patient involves the patient “handing over” to the physician their “disease” and hence the responsibility for its resolution. This implicit contract is doomed to failure since it is based upon fallacious reasoning and false premises.
We, on the other hand, ask that you, our patients, step out of the “quagmire of disease” and commit to undertaking the journey towards health. In so doing, we will lovingly walk with you upon that path, guiding and teaching and sharing.
inner circle
Join Dr. Lodi’s Inner Circle membership in order to have direct access to him, as well as educational videos, live zoom session with Dr Lodi and the other members, learning sessions with Darren Scherbain (kinesiologist), Vanessa (nutritionist & health advisor) and sessions with Garfield (the Michelin Raw Chef), as well as Cathy’s Corner where members, in a safe and confidential setting share the emotional aspect of their journeys, and more is coming
