Complementary And Alternative Medicine
History has it that alternative medicine goes back 5000 years to Chinese
traditional medicine, Indian (Ayuryedic medicine) and similar healing traditions
in many cultures. Today, what we know of as complementary and alternative
medicine (CAM) has roots going back 5,000 years to Chinese (traditional
Chinese medicine), Indian (Ayurvedic medicine) and similar healing traditions.
For thousands of years, these diverse medical traditions held a belief in
the energy of the body and the need for harmony between mind, body and spirit.
Doctor’s simply facilitated the healing process by identifying and
removing obstacles.
Throughout most of the 19th century, doctors used the same skills as today’s
herbalists, osteopaths and dieticians; they were generous with time and
empathy, and relied on a good bedside manner. Prayer was important, as was
“a change of air,” laxatives, bleeding and leeches. Right up
until the early 20th century, sick people relied on much the same kind of
therapies as their ancestors. New medical breakthroughs included the discovery
of penicillin, cortisone (a powerful anti-inflammatory medicine), streptomycin
(a powerful antibiotic that is effective in treating tuberculosis), insulin
(to treat diabetes) and chlorpromazine (an anti-psychotic that controls
schizophrenia). Open-heart surgery, hip replacements, kidney transplants,
intensive care and successful vaccination programs saved and improved the
quality of countless of millions of lives.
