OPINION OF SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY

Some of the complementary therapies may be like a harmless fashion or may be a mass hysteria but…..

Alternative systems of medicine like Ayurved definitely opens new horizons for prevention and cure of diseases.

OPINION OF SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY

Conventional medicine regards body as a machine like a computer or a jumbo jet.

CAM thinks that healthy body is a system in balance.The whole body is a self regulating extended network.

CAM EXPERTS SAY CAM EXPERTS SAY THATTHAT

NETWORK PATHOLOGIES ARISE WHEN THE BODY SELF ORGANISES IN RESPONSE TO SOME DISTURBANCE BUT BECOMES CONFUSED AND ENDS UP WORSE AT SELF REGULATION THAN BEFORE.

IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME AND CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME ARE EXAMPLES OF PRIMARY NETWORK PATHOLOGIES.
