The future of medicine – an optimistic view
Integrative Medicine
An optimistic future for health care in our world lies with an integrative medicine approach, where the best of all therapies - conventional and alternative - are combined for the maximum benefit of all people. Where the human being is recognised as a whole, rather than simply the sum of many parts.
There are great possibilities to transform our health care systems with an integrative medicine approach. Acupuncture and homeopathy are acknowledged by the World Health Organisation as the two most widely used systems of medicine in the world, and their integration into the health care system would bring immense benefits, offering far more effective treatment for all forms of illness at a greatly reduced cost. The immense benefits to be gained from this approach must not be underestimated.
