OPINION OF SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY
Some of the complementary therapies may be like a
harmless fashion or may be a mass hysteria
but..
Alternative systems of medicine like Ayurved
definitely opens new horizons for prevention and
cure of diseases.
16
OPINION OF SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY
Conventional medicine regards body as a machine
like a computer or a jumbo jet.
CAM thinks that healthy body is a system in
balance.The whole body is a self regulating
extended network.
17
CAM EXPERTS SAY THAT
NETWORK PATHOLOGIES ARISE WHEN THEBODY SELF
ORGANISES IN RESPONSE TO SOME DISTURBANCE BUT
BECOMES CONFUSED AND ENDS UP WORSE AT SELF
REGULATION THAN BEFORE. IRRITABLE BOWEL
SYNDROME AND CHR .FATIGUE SYNDROME ARE EXAMPLES
OF PRIMARY NETWORK PATHOLOGIES.
