Most countries have great problems making ends and means meet in their health policies.
Although Norway is in a most favorable economic situation, it is no exception, and the crisis in the Norwegian health services is presently a major issue in our domestic politics. Complementary therapies may offer some ideas and present some practical methods that may help to resolve this crisis. By government initiative and parliamentary decision a committee is now at work in Norway to prepare an incorporation of alternative therapies into our health services. This creates a golden opportunity for complementary medicine in Norway where it is mandatory that we choose the right strategies, both at the theoretical and the practical level. A main reason for the present medical crisis is that modern medicine lacks a scientific theory to explain the work of the healing system of the organism.
