Despite the advances of modern medicine in helping people live better and longer lives, Western culture isn't always supportive of our health. From agribusiness to pharmaceuticals to attitudes toward wellness, the social environment presents many obstacles to recognizing and preventing problems before they start. Many people balk at the idea of throwing out Western health care and replacing it with Eastern medicine and alternative practices, which have their own flaws. If no approach is perfect, what is the best way forward? Dr. Randi Raymond asks readers to consider integrative medicine. This system takes the best of Western and Eastern medicine and presents patients with options that emphasize modernity and science while also valuing preventive care and time-honored lifestyle habits. With this approach, people can respect their health and make informed choices about what they eat, which medicines to use, and how to exercise, all in service of their physical, mental, and psychological wellness. A Turning Point in Health Care offers readers a springboard into discovering alternatives to the either-or approach to health. For those who are curious about what else they can be doing for their quality of life, this book is not to be missed.
