Did curiosity really kill the cat?
I looked up that idiom — because I couldn’t quite believe it — and according to Merriam-Webster, before the end of the 19th century, it was “care” that killed the cat. (1)
Hmm, would that be modern health “care,” by any chance?
WHY CURIOSITY MATTERS
What happens when we never question what we’re taught?
What happens when we mis-take established narratives as truth?
What happens when we believe that “the way things are” cannot be changed?
Is it possible we’ve been misled?
Is the truth sitting right in front of us — hidden in plain sight?
These are a few of the questions that make The Philosophy of Healing by Dr. Henele a wonderful and thought-provoking read. This is more than a book about the love of natural health and healing; it’s an invitation to challenge your assumptions, explore deeper understanding, and rediscover the healer within.
FROM CURIOSITY TO KNOWING
Dr. Henele — affectionately known by his students and friends as “Dr. H” — describes his book as a love letter to natural medicine and the students who share his passion for true healing. His message may challenge you to look beyond how our medical system treats symptoms of disease and ask WHY imbalance occurs in the first place.
As he writes, “Disease isn’t proof of someone being broken. Disease is proof of chaos supplanting divine order.” (2)
For Dr. H, healing is about restoring that order, not simply fixing a body as though it were a machine. He invites you to explore the connections between your biology, environment, intentions, and spiritual essence while taking an active role in learning.
One concept that particularly resonated with me is gnosis — the pursuit of deeper knowing that progresses beyond understanding to inner-standing. There is a difference between collecting information, understanding how it fits together, and applying what you have learned.
Dr. H captures this idea beautifully when he writes, “And yet wisdom is the journey of the Healer…for wisdom is the application of what is known.” (3)
His conversational storytelling, street humor, and personal experiences make the journey through the book engaging. He explores word origins, historical perspectives, and blatant propaganda with an invitation to rethink what you’ve been taught and to see the world in new ways.
And once you see, you can’t unsee.
Dr. H challenges conventional thinking without intimidation or condemnation. Instead, his style is like of a friend walking beside you, sharing what he has learned, and encouraging you to discover more for yourself.
He shares the Light, The Way, and the warm embrace of his best friend, God, with you, the reader…the Healer.
QUESTIONING THE SYSTEM - IS MODERN MEDICINE TRULY ABOUT HEALTH + CARE?
Dr. H doesn’t shy away from challenges like conventional medicine, its history, and its emphasis on mis-treatments.
Some of his conclusions are provocative and (understandably) unapologetic. So, be prepared to bring your curiosity, an open mind, and discernment to your reading…
Because he’s right.
There are legitimate reasons to examine how our healthcare system operates. In a 2016 paper published in The BMJ, researchers Martin Makary and Michael Daniel argue that medical error ranks as the third-leading cause of death in the United States. (4) (5) (6)
That ranking still stands today, although the precise toll is difficult to establish. Still, the point is that patient safety and preventable harm deserve our serious attention.
Do you agree?
Hippocrates is credited with saying “First, do no harm.” But is that decree being honored?
As you’ll discover, reading The Philosophy of Healing, the oxymoron in “Allopathic Medicine” contradicts what Dr. H tells us “HEALTH” really means.
Spoiler alert – it is NOT “the absence of disease.”
“I love my Holistic Nutrition journey at EHI. I graduated happier & healthier than I could have ever imagined.” — Stephanie B.
So, I recommend opening this book with the courage to question the system and what you’ve been told. Because, what lies in its pages is an exposé of what has been intentionally buried in darkness.
As you read, Dr H invites you to ask…
What have the greatest healers of all time taught us? What works? What doesn’t?
And could the answer be that we’ve lost alignment with nature?
He presents a vision for the future of true healing – not fixing anything. Because you are NOT broken.
That vision is bold and breathtakingly resonant across the disciplines of the Life-Healing Arts & Sciences.
EXAMINE THE FRAMEWORK
I have family members and friends who are classically trained allopathic physicians. There are many compassionate, intelligent people who genuinely want to help others.
With this book, I can examine the framework in which they’ve been taught to practice without questioning the sincerity of their intentions.
What if the problem isn’t a lack of sincerity among medical professionals, but the limitations of the framework in which they’ve been taught to practice?
What if they simply cannot see because the blinders and binders upon them have dimmed their light and vision intentionally?
I believe we can celebrate the lifesaving contributions of modern emergent-care medicine while exploring how prevention, nutrition, and a deeper understanding of health might complement our existing approaches.
We can challenge established ideas without diminishing the people who believe in and uphold them.
The bridge to our future isn’t about agreement. It’s about curiosity, exploring unfamiliar ideas with an open mind, and having the courage to change – even when doing so may feel uncomfortable.
THE TIME IS NOW
We are just minutes from midnight on the “doomsday” clock. It’s time to awaken and harness your true healing potential and find The Way forward.
DON’T Read this Book if…
You’re stubbornly entrenched in your “beliefs” and feel you already know all there is to know.
You trust that everything you’ve been taught is pure of intention and entwined only in truth and honor
You aren’t prepared to challenge yourself or question cultural norms
DO Read this book if…
You’re a curious student of natural health, an aspiring healer, a healthcare professional willing to question established assumptions, or simply someone seeking a deeper understanding of well-being.
You are ready to explore the ideas, consider the evidence, and decide what resonates with your personal experience and understanding.
THE PHILOSOPHY OF HEALING HELPED RECONNECT ME WITH MY “WHY”
My purpose in life is to help people have a better human experience and live with greater vitality, connection, joy, and meaning.
The Philosophy of Healing has reignited my excitement for learning, questioning, and sharing what I discover, so more of us can thrive.
My wish is that YOU will accept these invitations:
Consider what questions you need to ask to align with YOUR purpose
Join EHI’s fellowship and family as a student of the Life Healing Arts & Sciences
Whatever you believe today, remain curious…
I still wonder…
Did curiosity ever kill a cat or was the idiom changed at the turn of the 20th century to encourage us to stop being curious and stop thinking for ourselves?
