RE: Alternative medicines : when good things can lead to charlatanism (part II)

in #health8 years ago

Thank you very much for this very relevant comment. I worked all my life in hospitals and I could see the benefits, but also the misdeeds of conventional medicine. I think the progress of science are useful since they allow us to understand the world around us and how the human body works. However, more and more doctors and people in general, realize that treating only the body does not always work very well. As you said, one must sees the person in a more holistic view that will considers all aspects, with all its complexity. Non-conventional medicines allow us precisely this approach.
If conventional and unconventional medicine could work together, with respect for the work of others and his own limitations, we would have a medical system where the patient is really at the heart of concerns ...
