For the sake of clarity; our concern revolves around chronic (usually long-lasting) and degenerative (getting steadily worse) illnesses, which account for the vast majority of serious illnesses. This is where we believe natural medicine may well help. Even though the allopathic approach has shown that it is not the panacea of illness treatments when it comes to chronic and degenerative diseases, let us not forget that allopathic medicine is generally successful when it comes to serious accidents and acute illnesses, viral/bacterial illnesses and genetic disorders. In other words, general emergency situations. Let’s encourage the two schools of medicine, on equal terms, to be made available to everyone. What’s happening now; Too many people are reliant on synthetically produced drugs to maintain any form of lifestyle while continually dealing with the acknowledged adverse effects of using such drugs. Anecdotal evidence proving the integrity of natural medicine is being ignored by the medical profession. What we need to achieve; There is a place for both schools of thought and patients must be given a choice, but that choice must be based on sound knowledge both for the patient and the doctor. Chronic and degenerative diseases; Cancer Research UK ~ the UK’s premier Cancer Charity for the world of cancer research ~ state that 1 in 2 people will contract cancer. Is allopathic medicine really winning the battle in dealing with cancer and other degenerative diseases? The allopathic medical oncology world need more help to improve the survival rates ~ let’s help them!
