„I truly admire the work of this center.“
says Dr.Thomas R Verny, MD, a Canadian psychiatrist and neuroscientist, author of 8 books, including The Embodied Mind and The Secret Life of the Unborn Child, which has been published in 27 countries.
- His recent book The Embodied Mind: Understanding the Mysteries of Cellular Memory, Consciousness, and Our Bodies collects diverse research in physiology, neuroscience, genetics, and quantum physics, to illustrate the mounting evidence that somatic cells, not just neural cells, store memory, inform genetic coding, and adapt to environmental changes—all behaviors that contribute to the mind and consciousness.

“I am very impressed with MEHANA’s approach to the current health challenges.”
says Professor Paul Grof, MD, PhD, FRCP from the University of Toronto
“Their complementary approach resonates with me strongly.
They show the way how to improve health in a meaningful way.”
Professor Grof is director of the Mood Disorders Center of Ottawa and practices medicine for 65 years.
“It’s clear that contemporary medicine has successfully dealt with many acute conditions. However, it fails to deal with the most common and usually lasting health challenges.
Instead of focusing on improving health, the attempted solutions are seen in more laboratory testing, more sleeping pills, more antidepressants and buckets of various untested supplements.”
“MEHANA’s approach demonstrates how to help more effectively people who suffer from frequent problems such as feelings of tiredness, exhaustion, sleep disturbances, anxiety, depression, addictions.
The approach of current medicine needs to be markedly modified in the direction that MEHANA proceeds. Such centers are badly needed but, unfortunately, are still very rare.”
“To paraphrase Albert Einstein freely, it seems that MEHANA’s approach illustrates well that we cannot resolve present health problems by continuing to use only strategies that have been contributing to them.”

OUR CORE VALUE
Medical Approach
Mehana Institute represents a non-pharmacological and non-invasive approach aligned with the principles of complementary and integrative medicine.

COMPLEMENTARY,
AND INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE
Non-pharmacological and non-invasive approaches that are not typically part of modern Western medicine and usually originate from other medicinal traditions.
Integrative medicine brings conventional and complementary approaches together in a coordinated way.

HIPPOCRATIC-GALENIC MEDICINE
Refers to the teachings of the eminent representants of Western medicine in its origins. It represents need for harmony between mental, physical, social, environmental and moral spheres to achieve good health.
