There are two dominant philosophical views of health. Which one a health professional holds, will to a certain degree guide how he or she goes about providing care. These views correlate with how one views the universe as a whole. We transfer, exchange, balance and use energy.
Health is good, illness is bad.
The Traditional Perspective of Healing Humans react to the environment in positive ways resulting in improved well-being. If they react to the environment in negative ways, it will result in illness. Occurs by way of cause and effect. We do not use or exchange energy, rather we are unceasingly transforming energy along with the rest of the universe. No good, nor bad.
