Ideally, complementary systems are meant to be closer to what you can label holistic medicine. The modern conundrum that often robs these alternative therapies of their core strength is our increasing need for speed. Complementary therapies now sometimes cut corners in order to compete with the quick and heavy dose of antibiotics or some other quick and seemingly effective “treatment”. When they do that, they lose what makes them more effective, while also losing out to regular medical science in symptomatic cure.

If each kind of treatment and practitioner worked to their strengths, things would work out more often.

Thank you for your thoughts.

As you said, its a belief thing.

Still, it served as a perfect launch point for my slightly unstructured stream-of-consciousness. Glad it worked on some level. Thanks for reading.
