Wendy and Dr Meaghan discuss the differences between alternative and traditional medicine. Eastern medicine has been around for thousand of years. The patterns that have been established have come from thousand and thousand years and helping individuals. Western medicine focuses on research as a gold standard to justify many of our practices that have only been around for a few decades (and some a few years). Dr Mark Hyman, MD discusses some of the flaws in our research model in the following blog http://drhyman.com/blog/2010/10/01/dangerous-spin-doctors-7-steps-to-protect-yourself-from-deception/.
Many times we people feel like they have to choose one or the other when it comes to therapy. Dr Meaghan discusses how she has seen such a benefit from merging the two.
