A Whole New Medicine
American medicine is in crisis. Despite the increasing sophistication of modern medical care, people aren't getting any healthier. The benefits of more drugs and surgery are counteracted by the side effects. A group of doctors now believe that the answer is holistic medicine - ' health for the whole person'. Drawing on some of the recent discoveries about the role of the mind in the health of the body, and looking back to some ancient healing arts such as meditation and acupuncture, the holistic doctors could be starting a whole new medicine.
