It helps understand why the medical industry is not pushing for preventative medicine too hard. To be fair to the doctors, however, it must be said that we all live in a culture that is in serious denial about health care. That change is crucial to being holistic. Other services available in the various forms of holistic medicine are in the nominal range. Acupuncture, for instance, is usually performed for 1-10 sessions depending on how serious the problem is or how long it has been out of balance.
Chiropractic adjustments are often in the same price range and frequency.
Herbal and homeopathic visit usually entail an office visit or consultation and then a small fee for the medications. Again, there are two goals that prevail. Make every effort to prevent illness and then find the simplest, least expensive and least invasive cure, then set up a lifestyle so the symptoms do not ever reoccur. They are born strong and tend to stay healthy all their life. Natural rearing during puppy or kitten hood eliminates many genetic and early environmental diseases so they never appear later in life.
