Much of medicine today is aimed at palliation of symptoms and induces various forms of dependency on drugs and practitioners. Fundamental cure or improved system functioning is comparatively rare. Biochemistry admits of no soul. To mention such an idea would be a medical blasphemy today. Things not seen, felt, or detected, do not exist.
Modern medicine treads a peculiar path.
Much that was hastily ejected centuries ago now queues patiently at the back door. Much of the metaphysical element was lost from medicine and this allowed its total domination by materialism. This was a path of dis-integration and the separation of medicine from its spiritual homeland. The path back home for medicine seems to be a purpose for the holistic therapies. They seem doomed to loom larger in importance.
