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. Each drug is granted a patent. This means huge profits can be made. Most natural products cannot be patented. The profits, therefore, are not anywhere near the money made with drugs.
