Traditional Medicine and Alternative healthcare represent more than just two different approaches to healing disease.They illustrate two essentially different paradigms of reality. The former developed with serious regard to scientific terminology embraces the premise that it is the physical world that contains the forces which exert the strongest influences on the body. Thus it works from outside-in. The fundamental principle of Holistic philosophy is that illness results when mental, emotional or psychological stresses become overwhelming and thus cause a weakening of the body making it susceptible to disease. In other words the energy level of the individual precedes and determines all that isexperienced at the physical level of life. The two camps seem to be opposed to and quite critical of each other. In reality, they are meant to complement each other and become integrated.
