Deep dives
The Limitations of Conventional Medicine
A significant concern in conventional medicine is the tendency to treat symptoms rather than address root causes of health issues. Many healthcare professionals find themselves overwhelmed by the sheer volume of patients they see, often leading to an inadequate understanding of the individual factors contributing to a patient's condition. For example, a doctor shared that he felt he truly helped only about 20% of the patients he saw each day, highlighting a systemic issue in medical practice. This approach leads to a culture where patient care relies heavily on pharmaceuticals, which can suppress symptoms without fostering genuine healing.
