Instead of Уhealth-oriented medicineФ official medicine has become Уdisease-oriented medicineФ. Instead of putting man in good health, it only removes pain and suppresses development of a disease - this is essentially its goal and this is what its capabilities boil down to. Regretfully, years of this approach to health have led to a situation in modern medicine in which the emphasis is not on the doctorТs skills but on instruments and the pharmaceutical industry, to manТs being actually divided up between narrow specialists. The crisis of modern medicine as disease-oriented medicine certainly does not diminish its achievements, nor does it mean negation of narrow specialisation. But, preservation of the METHODS and Technology of official medicine as they are today leads to a deadlock. What do we get as a result? Because we have no Уhealth-oriented medicine we suffer from diseases. We can and must be healthy and sound. The answer lies in an integral system medicine. An integral approach is essentially a combination of everything best in diagnostics and treatment methods in traditional (old Chinese, Indian), non-traditional (modern) medicine and certain folk healing approaches.

An integral approach is essentially a combination of everything best in diagnostics and treatment methods in traditional (old Chinese, Indian), non-traditional (modern) medicine and certain folk healing approaches. How do we switch to integral medicine? It's not so easy as it seems. A mere sum of means and methods- swallowing a pill and an herbals preparation, followed by two or three Herbal teas and self-suggestion- is not enough for good health. This is not what is meant by integral, or system medicine. What is crucial is not subtraction but interaction of all sorts of medicine. Human health depends not only on absence or presence of diseases, but on harmony between the body, spirit and consciousness, absence or presence of finer-than-disease disturbances- hereditary weakness of organs, dysfunction, pre- and post- illness conditions.
