In the present United States, if you need care or treatment for a sickness you have two options, the first option is conventional treatment and the second one is holistic treatment. The first factor to know when deciding between conventional or holistic treatment is to know the differences between the two treatments.
Conventional medicine has pros and cons just like any other topic. Conventional medicine has the best medicine in surgeries or trauma care but in the treatment of immune related issues, it depends upon prescribing drugs and harmful medical procedures. Conventional medicine only heals the symptoms of the disease or disorder; it won’t treat the hidden causes like holistic medicine. It cures your body in pieces; it will never cure it as a whole. The way the Conventional medical doctors think is based upon the usage of “rescue medicine”, they don’t find the prevention atlternatives for illnesses and diseases.
On the other hand, holistic medicine is not only prevention-based but also does medical treatment by concentrating on proactive ways to treat a person. In a nutshell, holistic medicine treats the condition, not the symptoms. So since holistic medicine treats the body as a whole, it’s cost effective.
People may wonder why people don’t use holistic medicine more if its more cost effective, but holistic medicine’s stronghold isn’t exactly treating acute and life-threatening illness and injuries. While conventional medicine excels at treating acute and life-threatening illness and injuries. So if we have a heart attack, broken bones suffer from infections, or we urgently need a cancerous tumor removed for example, conventional medicine is best, because it is excellent at diagnosis of the big injuries
So if we switch over to holistic medicine, we wont be able to treat life-threatening injuries, which would be catastrophic. Also conventional medicine has proven repeatedly that it is reliable.
