Optimal Health
Many in western culture wrongly consider optimal health to mean “disease free.” Traditional medicine continues to be excellent at serving the needs of the very sick, injured and dying – or, what is generally referred to as “acute” illness. Far too often, a large percentage of a patient’s medical costs are spent during the last few years of life. The money is spent with the frequent recognition that it is futile, since extraordinary measures may not increase the life span with any significant quality. It would make more sense to invest in preventing illness early on, so that your middle and older years can be vigorous and productive.
