Modern Medicine boasts enormous advances in the theoretical knowledge regarding diseases, spectacular technological progress in diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities, and an ever continuing emergence of new drugs and surgical procedures. Yet, “The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has skyrocketed among the US population”. There are many reasons for this strange phenomenon including:  

These alternative therapies have to be significantly beneficial to the patients, because they will not return to these practitioners repeatedly, if these treatments are ineffective.

Since antiquity, many different forms of therapy are being practiced here, and all over the world. These include Ayurveda, Acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, Homeopathy, Healing touch, Native Indian medicine, Naturopathy, Osteopathic and Chiropractic manipulation, Reiki, and many others. Modern Medicine, conducted with the most scientific discipline, has been able to help a large number of patients, especially with acute problems (e.g. infection, heart attack, massive trauma, many surgical procedures, etc.), but still can not claim a monopoly on curing or relieving people’s maladies. We believe that the time has arrived to integrate the impressive scientific knowledge and experience of modern medicine with the precious wisdom of the ancient healing methods. An ideal modern doctor should have sufficient knowledge and some expertise in the other forms of therapy, so that he/she can guide the patients in the right direction.
