Conventional Medicine vs. Holistic: A World of Difference

by Tim O'Shea

Conventional medicine is only about 100 years old, whereas holistic, natural medicine is as old as human history. This book documents the actual decline in the quality of health for Americans over the past several decades, and provides abundant evidence to implicate the politics and economics of prescription drugs as the main reasons for that decline. People are becoming disillusioned seeing their parents die of the same diseases as their grandparents. Side effects of medicines are now one of the top three causes of death in the U.S. For this reason, people are turning more and more toward natural, holistic alternatives since they are less threatening, less fatal, and less experimental than drugs. Natural medicine works with the body instead of against it. With natural methods, the immune system and the natural recuperative powers of the body are fortified rather than challenged. This book cites references that track the historical progression leading to the p! ! resent crisis we see in the health industry today.
