The new millennium is poised for grater health challenges. The present popular health care system has miserably failed to deal effectively with human health, endangered by ever increasing health disaster in form of heart diseases, cancer, AIDS, various form of hepatitis, mental disorders, stress generated disorders etc.
Like physicists in study of matter, modern medical scientists have tried to understand the human body by reducing it to basic building blocks and fundamental functions. As Dr. Donald Fredrickson, Ex. Director of National Institute of Health, U.S.A. says, “The reduction of life in its complicated forms of certain fundamentals that can then be resynthesized for a better understanding of man and his ills is the basic concern of bio medical research. In this reductionist spirit, all too frequently the original phenomenon itself is lost on the way. “In addition the high risks of modern medical technology have led to a further significant increase in health costs through excessive use of high technology and medicines within the mechanistic model of illness.
The frightening health scenario of the coming millennium put forth the necessity to think and look for some “ALTERNATE”.
