Our goal is to provide our members with the tools they need to live a long and healthy life.
Our Practice Principles
We believe that by treating the whole person – body, mind, and spirit – we can help you reach your fullest potential. We exclude major surgery, therapeutic use of x-ray and radium, the use of scheduled drugs containing elements of body tissues that are psychologically and naturally incompatible with body processes for maintenance of life as well as dietary reform, that prevents wellness or insults the body or mind. Our practice principles are rooted in scripture. Read more
Our Philosophy
Treat the underlying cause rather than the symptom.
Health is more than just the absence of symptoms; it is the balance of systems and energy that encompasses mind, body, and spirit. The body’s natural tendency is to cure itself. Just like you don’t have to think about curing a little cut on your hand, your body has an inbuilt urge to repair all disorders. The question that everyone must ask is, “Why does anyone become ill?” Read more about our philosophy.
Membership to receive care is available to qualified individuals seeking to receive sacred medicine and apothecary.
DU20 Ministry is a diocese of special mission for healing is operated by the Knights of Hope Sovereign Council.
Pastoral Science and Medicine
What is Pastoral Science and Medicine?
Similar to the secular approach of “functional medicine”, Pastoral Science and Medicine addresses the underlying causes of disease, using a systems-oriented approach and engaging both patient and practitioner in a therapeutic partnership, with the added dimension of providing spiritual care and guidance when sought.
Why Do we need Pastoral Science Medicine?
- Our society is experiencing a sharp increase in the number of people who suffer from complex, chronic diseases
- The system of medicine practiced by most physicians is oriented toward acute care.
- Unfortunately, the acute-care approach to medicine lacks the proper methodology and tools for preventing and treating complex, chronic disease.
- There’s a huge gap between research and the way doctors practice.
- Most physicians are not adequately trained to assess the underlying causes
How is Pastoral Science and Medicine Different?
Pastoral Science and Medicine involves understanding the origins, prevention, and treatment of complex, chronic disease. Hallmarks of a pastoral science and medicine approach include:
- Individual-centered care.
- An integrative, holistic healthcare approach.
- Functional labwork.
