" The current conventional healthcare system earns a reputation for effectively treating symptoms with drugs or surgery. The standard operating procedure for most complaints or conditions, especially for those lasting longer than three months, tends to be the administration of medication. Medications for high blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, indigestion, allergies, depression, and pain represent the most popular and profitable treatments on the market. The problem with this model of health care becomes the cycle of sickness and artificial treatment which temporarily alleviates symptoms but never addresses the cause of disease and discomfort. Many drugs and treatments save lives in crucial moments when life hangs in the balance, but long-term quality of life requires and emphasis on education and strategies meant to address the underlying cause of problems- rather than engaging in a cycle of temporarily treating symptoms."
