Alternative Medicine
The goal of medicine is to improve and maintain the health of the patient. It does not matter if we use conventional medicine or alternative medicine as long as we are able to improve the health of our patient. The truth is all forms of medicine have their strengths and their weakness. In some cases, one form of medicine may provide better results than a different form. Often combining different forms of medicine, however, gives the best results.
