Here in the states we utilize a certain method of evaluating health and disease. Because of our fast paced lifestyles and desire for quick results, our tendencies have been towards drugs and not towards maintaining our health. We would rather wait until it is broken and then fix it, rather than taking care of it every day so it never breaks. This is the medical model, in a short summary, of explaining health. Well, in the world of alternative medicine health care, this is entirely different.

Did you know that Thomas Edison was once quoted as saying something along the lines of, "The doctor of the future will concern himself with maintaining the patient's health rather than prescribing drugs." In many cultures of the past, the village doctor was kept on payroll so long as the villagers stayed healthy - yet look around us and our society is the other way around. We reward doctors for keeping us sick and on prescriptions. Well, not so in the world of alternative medicine health care.

Alternative medicine health care is the future of thinking, and it will be the smarter way of keeping society truly healthy and on track.
