Alternatives To Traditional Medicine

Monday, November 10th, 2008

Although I appreciate the value that traditional medicine brings to health care, I am passionate about a life-changing philosophy that speaks to the core of man and has been proven through the ages. This philosophy differentiates the kind of medicine I practice from that which most physicians practice.alternatives-to-traditional-medicine

The body is a self-healing organism. It needs the nutrients and building blocks in order to perform its designed functions. There are much interference with this process. When toxic substances are removed, then your body can use the nutrients to perform its maximal function. Allopathic medicine looks at your body as a mechanical machine that breaks down, so the physician must “fix it.”

Here are some more challenging philosophical comments to ponder.
What I’ve done is take the conventional (also called allopathic) medicine philosophies and compare them side by side with alternative medicine (also called integrative, complementary, or preventive medicine).

Actually, no name is fully descriptive for either of the disciplines. Conventional could just as easily refer to medicine that was practiced in the past, now called complementary or alternative medicine. And alternative medicine could just as easily refer to the surgical/drug alternatives that you resort to when your homemade remedies do not help.
