Complementary & Alternative Medicine--OFF TOPIC
Posted: Mon Feb 09, 2004 4:56 pm
The current discourse on the subject of hypertension is a reflection of an unresolved history of conditions which find a conflict of ideas.
I would like to suggest that all paradigms have value and that the issue for the patient is one of choice; that the providers of the service of healthcare, regardless of credentials, find some measure of mutual tolerance so that the patient's view is not clouded with dogma.
Health is a state which is rooted in a dynamic organism with numerous interpretations that have evolved from the humoral; solidistic; to cellular; etc. Dr. Hahnemann's interpretation is not an end product of healthcare, rather a most significant offering.
The issue ought to center around the prioritisation of the protocols, and not on a limitation of paradigms in assessing or treating a case. We owe it to our patients and a furtherance of our respect for Life that we manifest that level of regard for differences amongst ourselves such that there should always be room for the addition of fresh thinking.
The table is one of complementary and alternative medicine.
Regards all
