Reblogged from MeaningfulWesternLife:
One systemic problem I see in western society healthcare is when medical professionals only use allopathic (drugs and surgery) or 'conventional western' methods. But in fairness to our western-trained medical professionals, I understand the dilemma that they often do not have enough time to consider the 'whole person'.
When faced with a health issue, some people have a mindset of 'just give me a pill and I'll be on my way'.
