ABSTRACT

I am not going to rediscuss allopathic or Western medicine, as I think I have dealt with its basic elements in the foregoing chapters. When each integrated therapy is discussed for an individual disease, the appropriate issues of allopathic treatment will be raised, for and against. Let it suffice that allopathic or Western medicine is important in the quick acute rescue, the replacement of necessary nutritional, hormonal, or chemical elements, and the removal or reconstruction of physical deformity. Our time would be better spent trying to understand other paradigms of illness and how we can integrate them into allopathic medicine.
