The doctor is the authority on what is needed to restore health and may specialize in a particular area of the body or in a particular disease. To recognize the role we play in creating health or creating disease. To seek out practitioners and therapies that help. Individuals are expected to follow the doctor's advice. Health is a long-term process and commitment.
Health is viewed as an absence of symptoms or diagnostic evidence.
Governments tend to view practitioners and suppliers as quacks who prey on the sick. They risk being charged with practicing medicine without a license or shut down. Individuals seeking assistance are seen as gullible and desperate victims and Medical Doctors who adopt the principles of the Natural Health Model risk losing their licenses. Governments tend to view the medical health model as the only legitimate approach to health care. As a result, this system tends to have total power and control over health care systems.
