Conventional vs. Self-healing Medicine — SWOT Analysis.

The SWOT analysis points to a mirror image between Modern and Self-Healing Medicines' weaknesses and strengths. Thus, Integration is requested.

Note: I prefer to call Complementary Alternative-Functional Medicine. (CAM) Self-Healing Functional Medicine. 

Unlike conventional medicine, Self-healing functional medicine eliminates the causes of the disease rather than its symptoms!

• There are about 100 different techniques of Diagnosis and treatment of alternative medicine. On the face of it, these techniques do not have a clear connection, but in a more in-depth observation, the whole basis of alternative medicine is the self-healing ability applied to all of us.
• In my opinion, Self-healing medicine is a better description of the essence of (CAM) without having an inferior connotation.

 Conventional Modern Medicine vs. Alternative Medicine. (Self-Healing Medicine.) SWOT analysis.

(Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats)

Why is alternative medicine (Self-healing medicine) often considered inferior to conventional medicine?

Without unifying philosophy, it is much easier to miss the role of mind & soul and their reflections on the Body.

• Alternative therapists usually have shorter and less thorough training than medical studies.
• Most CAM treatments have not been scientifically proven. (Although acupuncture has been)
• Not all alternative therapists are licensed.
• Most clinics and alternative therapists are not regulated.
• The pharmaceutical companies have no interest in funding research on CAM. Without research funding, it is not possible to provide validation of the effectiveness of CAM.

The required conclusions regarding the relative advantages of the two medical methods. (Which does not exist in reality.)

• Modern medicine provides an excellent response to urgent and short-term cases where self-healing is impossible, such as genetic diseases, the elderly and children, pregnant women, emergency cases, and severe injuries. (Of all types)
  • Conventional medicine has advanced diagnostic tools and lab tests essential for a better diagnosis.
• Self-healing medicine has inherent advantages in balancing the Body, mind, and spirit required for recovery from severe illnesses, chronic diseases, continuous disability, and in all situations where the spirit's triumph on the Body is part of recovery. (Physical and mental)

The Unified Philosophy of Medicine.

• I suggested the main requirements for an integrated medical philosophy— Link: Integrating conventional and self-healing medicine is a must!

• If both philosophical approaches to medicine have strengths and weaknesses, will the approach's merger lead to synergy? The answer is" yes." 
• In my opinion, the two medical philosophy approaches are reflections of each other and should not be separated. Only a unifying philosophy will be able to make this change possible.     

A breakthrough in medical science requires a unifying medical philosophy to guide the practitioner's actions.

Modern physics has learned to live with the apparent duality between the mechaniNewton'swton's laws and quantum mechanics. The medical establishment must adapt to the openness of thought to allow the two primary medicine approaches to coexist while creating synergy.

Summary, Conclusions, and Recommendations. 

The in-depth analysis reveals a mirror image between modern medicine and self-healing functional medicine weaknesses and strengths. Integrating conventional modern medicine and self-healing functional medicine is vital to achieving optimal healthcare.

Conventional Modern Medicine.

• Enormous achievements in a wide range of fields related to technological development. However, there are also significant failures.
• It has allowed us to maintain our unhealthy lifestyle consisting of innutritious diets & beverages, insufficient sleep, more anxiety, and less free time.
• Does modern conventional medicine cure chronic diseases? I believe the answer is "probably" not." it might relieve pain and other symptoms, with a massive price of getting dependent and sometimes even addicted to drugs. 
• Deals mainly with the symptoms by taking many pharmaceutical drugs that do not treat the cause.

Self-healing medicine.

• It does not provide all the solutions to public health demands and cannot be a standalone medical health system. 
• It treats the causes, but the price is usually a lifestyle change. Most patients prefer the most direct solution modern medicine offers.  
• Patients usually start with modern conventional medicine. Upon becoming disappointed with the outcomes, they seek out alternative medical advice.
• The core of self-healing medicine is to keep the Body in balance all the time. Self-healing implies that the use of pharmaceuticals is restricted since all chemical drugs disturb the balance. (It makes it challenging to practice both medical approaches simultaneously.)
• Following the growing demand, many hospitals and health centers opened individual departments for alternative medicine (CAM). The reason is, of course, straightforward: conventional medicine could not fully recover patients.
• Integrating conventional medicine with self-healing medicine has many benefits, except that self-healing requires the patient to be his medical advisor with perseverance, willpower, and self-discipline.

Economic aspects.

• The economic burden of doctors, drugs, and treatments is sometimes very high. (In my case, the expenditure was exceptionally high.)
• Despite the significant expenditure on food and juices, the savings on medicines and doctors, not to mention the suffering and poor quality of life, investing in self-healing is exceptionally economical in the long run.

The in-depth analysis shows that modern and self-healing functional medicine have similar weaknesses and strengths. Integrating conventional modern medicine and self-healing functional medicine is vital to achieving optimal healthcare.

Conventional vs. Self-healing medicine — SWOT analysis.

1. Why can we say with certainty that integrating modern medicine with self-healing medicine is mandatory?

The SWOT analysis points to a mirror image between Modern and Self-Healing Medicines' weaknesses and strengths. Thus, Integration is requested.

 Modern medicine and self-healing medicine are two sides of the same coin.

 The whole debate around healthcare integration is all about money and power.

 Most alternative physician practitioners are not doctors!

 I am not a Buddhist monk and do not believe in the whole matter of enlightenment and energy.
