MyHeartofHealing.info (c) Ardy Roberto 2008 - buy the Heart of Healing at OMF.com
-Dr. Harold G. Wolf, MD, Harvard
―Hope,
faith and a purpose in life, is
medicinal.
This is not merely a statement of belief but a
conclusion proved by meticulously controlled
scientific experiment.‖
Why leader‘s should dispense hope
Leaders should dispense HOPE
Drugs are tested by
‗DOUBLE BLIND‘ METHOD
MyHeartofHealing.info (c) Ardy Roberto 2008 - buy the Heart of Healing at OMF.com
Pharmaceuticals today are tested by the
‗double blind‘ method, meaning the
administering doctors themselves do not
know which is the true drug and which is
the inert, ‗control‘ drug.
Leaders should dispense HOPE
MyHeartofHealing.info (c) Ardy Roberto 2008 - buy the Heart of Healing at OMF.com
They must be tested that way for one
simple reason:
the power of human hope
Help Heal With HOPE
MyHeartofHealing.info (c) Ardy Roberto 2008 - buy the Heart of Healing at OMF.com
Before double blind testing, virtually all,
new drugs showed
spectacular results,
regardless of their chemical content.
Help Heal With HOPE
MyHeartofHealing.info (c) Ardy Roberto 2008 - buy the Heart of Healing at OMF.com
Mystified researchers eventually found the
doctor‘s demeanor to be the key factor in the new drug‘s success:
By his smile, voice, and attitude, the doctor would unknowingly convey
confidence and hope, convincing patients of the probability of improvement.

THE STORY OF
NICK – the
worrier
Nick got accidentally locked…
MyHeartofHealing.info (c) Ardy Roberto 2008 - buy the Heart of Healing at OMF.com
Since he was in a refrigerator-boxcar, Nick assumed that the temperature inside was a freezing 0°C. He started shivering and
thought to himself, “I'll freeze to death if I don’t get out of here.”
Nick wrote a message to his wife and family on a cardboard box:
―So cold,‖ ―body's getting numb. If I could
just go to sleep. These may be my last words.‖
MyHeartofHealing.info (c) Ardy Roberto 2008 - buy the Heart of Healing at OMF.com
A NOCEBO CASE STUDY
The strange thing was the boxcar‘s
refrigeration unit was broken and the
temperature inside was just around 16°C —
far from freezing.
But the autopsy on Nick‘s body showed that
he had frozen to death!

Placebo heart surgeries anyone?
Help Heal With HOPE
Businessweek, reporting on the economics of
the billion-dollar heart surgery industry,
reported the same placebo effects on
those who had thought they had
undergone laser heart surgery to improve
their blood flow.

A Harvard Medical School associate professor, Dr. Roger J. Lahan, reported that those who went through the real laser surgery and those who went through the ―sham
operation‖ got the same benefits: less pain and improved heart
function.

So why not
make patients expect good
results from the treatment protocol,
medicines, or surgery that the doctor
recommends?
Problem
MyHeartofHealing.info (c) Ardy Roberto 2008 - buy the Heart of Healing at OMF.com
According to Andrew Weil,
MD:
Culture / Cycle of
•Negativity•Pessimism
•Fear
Are doctors HOPE weary?
MyHeartofHealing.info (c) Ardy Roberto 2008 - buy the Heart of Healing at OMF.com
Dr Weil says the medical
profession has a ―hope-weary‖
attitude towards patients
Simply put: Too many doctors are deeply pessimistic about the possibility of people
getting better, and they communicate their pessimism to patients and families.
Are doctors HOPE weary?
MyHeartofHealing.info (c) Ardy Roberto 2008 - buy the Heart of Healing at OMF.com
“Many of the patients who come to see me have been told by doctors, in one way
or another, that they will not get better, that they will have to learn to live
with their problems or expect to die from them, that medicine has nothing
more to offer them.”

Are your doctors pessimists?
Dr Weil says he gets too many patients who
have come to him discouraged and
suffering not only physically, but also
emotionally from the negative,
pessimistic treatment methods of some
doctors.

Lance Armstrong,cancer survivor and seven-time Tour de France winner, was
diagnosed with brain cancer, testicular cancer and prostate cancer at 25, before biking his way to win the Tour de France six more times.
Are u giving hope or fear?
You will crawl out of here…I‘m going to
kill you. Every day, I‘m going to
kill you, and then I‘m going to bring you
back to life. We‘re going to hit you with
chemo, and then hit you again, and hit
you again. You‘re not going to be able to

By the time the doctor was finished,
Armstrong was ―taken aback‖ and his mother was trembling.
Since Armstrong wasn‘t a sadist, he took his business elsewhere where the doctors
were more gentle, optimistic and hopeful, yet down to earth.

Tingting three months before her worst flare-up and
her subsequent healing miracle.
She later told me that it took her about 30 minutes to
write this short letter because her hands were always

Still weak from the six month ordeal with systemic lupus, she‘s smiling because she was now hopeful that she would eventually recover. The picture was taken with our goddaughter, Chava, the day after being discharged from the hospital
October 8, 2000. 3 months later after doctors and friends thought that my sweet wife was going to die, here she is celebrating her birthday! She continues to see her doctors for check-ups, and her doctors continue to express amazement and joy at her “miraculous” recovery.

Email from Dr Elmo Lago
―from The Mind of Healing to the Heart of
Healing‖
As I gathered my Interns for their weekly
teaching rounds, I hesitated for a moment as
to what to teach them that afternoon. For
earlier I had a sad encounter with a Resident
who commented on one of my patients with
Leukemia. I asked him how the patient was
and he flatly answered, "nothing we can
do, SHE WILL DIE SOON".
MyHeartofHealing.info (c) Ardy Roberto 2008 - buy the Heart of Healing at OMF.com
Although I felt sad for the patient, I felt
sadder for the Resident Physician.
I wondered ... how could someone just lose
hope for a patient?
Facing my interns, I told them about this
incident. I began to tell them that although
doctors think they can do it all, they really
can't. I told them that not all healing is in the
textbooks.
MyHeartofHealing.info (c) Ardy Roberto 2008 - buy the Heart of Healing at OMF.com
The diagnosis and the treatment--these may
be very important to patient care but the
greatest part of healing I believe, is the
patient having the hope to live, the hope for
healing… Like when:
-The patient is encouraged to move on
despite the odds.
- Encouraged to eat even when it is difficult
to do so. - The patient being loved during the
ordeal and even when everything is going
really bad, that there are people praying for
them to get through that ordeal.

That afternoon, we did not study anything about the presentation of diseases, the diagnosis of diseases nor the management of diseases.
We studied how to HELP our patients. We thought of ways to give Hope, to Encourage, to Love and to Pray.
As an ending exercise, I asked them to draw (using crayons and a bond paper) something they think would encourage our patient (Her name is Lala), something that would give her hope. They did!

The next day, I eagerly gave their drawings to Lala. She had this wide smile when she received it. Still in pain because of her Leukemia, she still managed to say a soft "Thank you".
The following day, when I made my rounds, the pictures were on the wall and she was seated when she greeted me. She was discharged 2 days later, (NOTE: SHE DIDN'T PASS ON!)

2 weeks later, she sent me a card for that gesture of hope. Her fight against her cancer is still not over but with her renewed hope and strength, and with God's favor, I know she will be alright.
From that time, every group of interns that rotated under me, I lectured on The Heart of Healing hoping to inspire them to continue giving HELP to patients under their care.
