Conventional Medicine

the difference between conventional medicine and holistic medicine

Conventional Medicine:  prescriptions, tests, surgeries and treatments are not always the 1st or best option for protecting or improving your health.

Many people insist that your choice for health care is an either/or proposition between Conventional Medicine and Holistic Medicine.

It’s simply not true! There is a time and place for both approaches – conventional or holistic medicine – when you’re not healthy.

Holistic Medicine

A PROACTIVE APPROACH TO HUMAN HEALTH USING NATURAL REMEDIES AND PRACTICAL LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION.

Healthy People Don’t Get Sick

Holistic Medicine seeks to:

  1. Identify factors that produce declining health, sickness and disease.
  2. Implement lifestyle practices that produce health and recovery.

Health Care

Conventional Medicine

A REACTIVE APPROACH TO HUMAN SICKNESS USING MEDICATION(S),  SURGERY AND TREATMENTS.

Health is the Absence of Symptoms

Traditional Medicine seeks to:

  1. Identify symptoms of declining health, sickness and disease.
  2. Ease the symptoms with medication(s) and/or surgery.

Sick Care

Complementary Medicine (a.k.a. – Integrative Medicine) is a 3rd Option

Complementary Medicine or Integrative Medicine is a collaboration between 2 specialists. One specialist uses conventional medical treatments to ease your symptoms and the other specialist uses holistic medicine to support healing and recovery.

You Have Choices.  The challenges are:

  1. Deciding the approach that best suits your needs, and then selecting the best strategy to achieve your particular situation. learn more »
  2. Finding a practitioner that is most qualified to help you.
  3. Finding personal discipline to allow adequate time for your body to recuperate.

If staying or becoming healthy is your objective, you need to know 5 things:

  1. Healthy People Don’t Get Sick – nor do they need medications to manage their symptoms.
  2. Your body needs 4 things:
    Healthful Diet (using supplements to fill the gaps), Sleep, Relaxation & Moderate Exercise.
  3. You’re in control. What you do every day helps you – what you do occasionally won’t hurt you.
  4. There are no “quick fixes” after you’ve become unhealthy.
  5. It’s easier to stay healthy – than become healthy when you’re not.

A Natural Health Consultant is a health care specialist who helps people:

  1. Uncover the factors that can, or are, producing their symptoms of declining or failing health.
  2. Create and implement holistic strategies to support long-term health and recovery.
