Today, there are two opposing healthcare philosophies becoming more visible. The first is allopathic medicine. This is a mechanistic approach to health in which the body is divided into different systems and a medical doctor who focuses solely on this system is considered a specialist. For example, cardiologists are heart specialists and respiratory specialists focus on the lungs and respiratory system.  These doctors diagnose their patient’s illness by examining smaller parts of the whole structure. A condition is diagnosed by gathering test results and symptomatology, then introducing a treatment, usually drugs, in hopes the medication will relieve the symptoms and restore the sick body to health.

This approach disregards the under-standing that the human body is very intelligent and is fully capable of healing the body of disease and weakness. This human intelligence needs no help, other than a fully functioning nerve system. Sometimes the body may deteriorate so badly that it needs drug intervention to sustain life until the body can regain its ability to heal itself.
