The Chiasm of Medicine

Medicine has been evolving throughout time and it will continue to evolve. Medicine is supposed to fix people and restore their health. The problem with standardization of medicine is it has to follow a certain algorithm and if the patient doesn't fall into that box, you won't be healed. Alternative medicine thinks outside that box. There are many critics out there that say it's unscientific, but there are many great studies to confirm the use of healthy foods, exercise, healthy lifestyle, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids, botanicals, Naturopathic Medicine, Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, meditation, Chiropractic, massage, etc. Medications, Emergency Medicine, Surgery, and all the Specialists have their place in medicine, but there is more than one way to restore health. There is room for all kinds of medicine and yes, there needs to be more research to demonstrate the safety and efficacy in all areas of health and medicine.

Medicine should also have more focus on Prevention as more than 80% of all chronic diseases can be prevented. It all starts with education on healthy diet and lifestyle, our foundation of health.
