INTRODUCTION

​

Complementary and alternative treatment & therapies, are becoming increasingly popular.  This is unsurprising, given the growing distrust people have with 'Big Pharma' methods and the traditional approach to health and well-being that have hitherto been practiced by medical practitioners, particularly in the West.

​

These complementary and alternative treatment & therapies, represent not just a 'shift' - in 'treatment methods' - but a revolution in the approach to 'health,' 'healing' and 'medical thinking.'  It is nothing less than a major 'paradigm shift.'

​

As with all major changes in paradigms  -  the change is not always sudden and may even go unnoticed for some while by many - but those at the forefront of this field - those who have spent perhaps many decades proclaiming the validity of complementary and alternative treatment and therapies - will not be surprised as these changes are clearly needed, due and are likely to increase in pace.
