Alternative medicine as an effective alternative to conventional medicine
Alternative medicine as an effective alternative to conventional medicine
In the course of the 21st century, we have made a lot of progress in medicine due to new discoveries in chemistry, biology and physics. Conventional medicine, our generally recognized medical knowledge system, is practiced almost exclusively in the USA and abroad. With this system, doctors and other members of the health professions treat diseases with medication, radiation or operations. Conventional medicine is also known as allopathic, mainstream, modern or western medicine.
As a technical advanced society, we have become proud of our scientific achievements, but modern medicine has not yet solved our health problems. There are various diseases such as cancer, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis and a variety of serious and chronic diseases in which healing has been pending for many years. Those who suffer from incurable diseases question the true progress of modern medicine and are wondering in view of the modern innovations in science whether it has made so much progress at all. We have everyday experiences with the miracles of medicine in the areas of nuclear and emergency medicine, immunology, surgery and medical tests, and these systems are certainly extremely important, but the actual prevention and treatment of diseases in many chronic diseases are still evident in modern medical facilities.
For centuries there has been a driving force behind alternative medicine, and the motivation was to heal others. Although alternative practitioners and their patients report effective results, some people suggest that such medicines are fraudulent and are practiced by inadequate or subt / uneducated persons. This could certainly apply in some cases, but also applies to conventional doctors who were withdrawn from admission for negligence or incompetence.
If doctors were not sexists, no seminars would have to be offered that are about treating a woman's pelvic examination "not sexistically". This type of mentality is one of the many reasons why women and men in particular turn away from their doctors and take advantage of the help of alternative practitioners. Michael P. Annavi, Ph.D., explains in his essay on allopathic authority entitled Scraps from the Table of Allopathic Power: "The allopathic medical industry has created a process of invalid that promotes the ideology that knowledge is only real if it." is established in this tautological framework of European thinking ".
The difficulty of establishing the practices and rights of non-traditional members of the health professions has been thwarted by those who work for the practice of scientifically validated medicine in the past two centuries, from the traditional medical societies and of course from the doctors themselves. This is nothing more than systematic prejudices and racism, especially with regard to the Chinese and E-Indian doctors for acupuncture and Ayurvedic medicine.
Larry Altshuler, MD, explains in his book Balanced Healing that many alternative healing methods are simply more effective for certain diseases than conventional treatments, and that many treatments have fewer side effects and potential dangers. In his book, Dr. Altshuler natural treatments that he has used effectively in patients for many years. As proponent of preventive and natural medicine, Dr. For example, Altshuler that there is a strong connection between diabetes and obesity. As a really alternative medical treatment, he first mentions that patients should completely avoid alcohol, which has a very high sugar content. Second, he says that he should eat a balanced diet, less refined sugar, fat and animal products and a lot of vegetable fiber. Third, he recommends the vitamins, nutrients and herbs that are necessary to supplement. Finally, he recommends acupuncture treatments.
In the documentary The True History of the Bridge about the Kwai, Otto C. Schwarth, an American prisoner of war who was forced to work on the railway between Burma and Thailand during the Second World War, such as hundreds of thousands of war prisoners and Americans who suffered and died of various illnesses were treated by a handful of doctors. In his interview, Mr. Schwarth remembered, at the time in the eighties: "The Americans were grateful to the Dutch doctor Henry Hecking forever. Dr. Hecking was born and grew up in Indonesia by his grandmother, the herb connoisseur was our rescuer. Actually because he knew all local herbs. In the end, our group had the lowest mortality rate on the line.
Michael Wayne, Ph.D., Author of Quantum Integral Medicine, explains in his interview with Acupuncture Today: This biomedicine (conventional medicine) is based on a model for linear determination and reductionism-approaches that see the world in very black and white. This approach has brought us into great difficulty, not only with its approach to the human body, but also with its approach to the solution of world problems. It is very important and effect-oriented and always searches for the ultimate cause that the dilemma caused (para. 3). Modern medicine has denied the overall picture of health and healing, which is caused by the influence and benefit of companies. We are currently seeing the consequences of such corruption and a greedy war in the Middle East to monopolize the oil reserves, the global warming together with the melting of the polar ice caps and the global economic collapse.
It has also become a amusement of some doctors to criticize natural medicine and its practitioners. In an interview with an orthopedic surgeon in Fresno, CA (who preferred to keep his name anonymously), it turned out that chiropractor in the conservative medical world is called "pseudo doctors". At the beginning of the 20th century, the medical establishment fought against the profession of chiropractor and said that this kind of naturopaths should not be approved for reasons of public well -being and protection. We find that this was actually due to economic self -interest and not due to the common good, or as chiropractor say, "the antreline gloves of altruism often hide the greed for greed" (Whorton 138). In plain language, the medical profession does not want to share its economic advantages with other medicine men. Hippocrates were also considered a heretic or “quacks” of his time, since the medical thinking of his time was that illness and recovery were caused or influenced by gods and demons. Hippocrates (born 460 BC) is considered the father of western allopathic medicine. It is attributed to him that he has strongly promoted the systematic study of clinical medicine, which has summarized medical knowledge of previous schools and prescribed practices for doctors.
The medicine of the 20th century has made incredible progress in discovery, including nuclear technology for diagnosis and treatment. Although conventional medicine has made great scientific progress, many people still suffer from chronically weak diseases and incurable diseases. Allopathic medicine has had research and discovery a hundred years, but does not seem to offer valuable and affordable solutions in the course of the 21st century. The costs for medical treatment are surprisingly high, especially for diagnostic tests and hospital visits. Doctors not only deal with their own economic progress, but also keep those who do not consider the title or doctor to be worthy. In ancient China, the doctor was not paid for her services when a person got sick. They were only compensated for nutrition, nutrition and exercise for the health of the guests by advice. They prescribed vegetable medicines, not only for diseases, but also for health care. So it was the healthy people who supported Chinese practitioners and not the sick. Unfortunately, in our modern society it is the sick who offer the practitioner a healthy income.
A new model of understanding in medicine must be included in the existing allopathic model. Because of the growing popularity and effectiveness of alternative medical practitioners, their deserved space in medical society can ultimately be given. The inclusion of alternative medical practices in the existing model of conventional Western medicine, including the training of new doctors, is now called complementary medicine. In order to solve our health problems, this modern paradigm must be encouraged for treatment in medicine. This can only really occur if bias, self -interest, greed and discrimination are rejected and diverse medical knowledge is promoted and shared, not only between university -trained scientists and doctors, but also among alternative practitioners, philosophers, metaphysicists and other intelligence of society. With the integration of alternative medicine into conventional medicine, we hope for a model that focuses on health and healing instead of illness and economic benefits. Since more and more states are licensing NDS (naturopath), it should be just as natural to see her as your allopathic doctor. This could be the new ideal for medicine and health in the 21st century and beyond. We are also looking forward to the day on which labels such as quacks or pseudo-doctors disappear together with other biased subjective judgments.
By a century ago, the ordinary person thought that it was impossible to fly, but after we discovered the natural laws of aerodynamics, we can routinely fly into space. In his film Galileo, Bertolt Brecht's life of Galileo Galilei historically shows. In the 17th century, Galileo, which was threatened by persecution and death, proved by studying cosmology and on the basis of mathematics that the sun was the center of heaven and not the earth. In the same way, using the natural ideals and foundations of medical knowledge, we will begin to make new and future discoveries in relation to health and healing.
