"Health is not simply the absence of sickness."
~ Hannah Green

Although practitioners in various fields of western or orthodox medicine generally work to the best of their abilities, their fields are limited and are often left without answers or solutions. This means they have to admit defeat, leaving illnesses uncured, leaving some people with a limited quality of life. Also, many conditions are very difficult to diagnose and so, no treatment can be offered.

Sometimes complementary medicine is a good option. Complementary or (alternative) holistic medicine. Holistic medicine can provide some of the solutions that have eluded the general scientific and medical communities. It’s also a more satisfactory approach to our healing in general.

There are many things that define the fundamental differences between western and holistic medicine. In holistic medicine, time is seen as an investment which will be repayed greatly throughout one's entire life. If time is taken now to fully understand the real causes of our illnesses and then treated fully, time will be repaid to you hand over fist, as you go through life healthier and probably longer.

However time is sacred for most people and this is where the quick fix of orthodox medicine holds its appeal.
