What is a major problem for modern medicine ?
" To the extent that human physiology contains a physical / chemical aspect ( broken bones , impinging tumours on vital nerves , severed arteries , or severe tissue damage , significant hormonal or chemical imbalances , severe microbial invasion , and the like ) , a mechanic - material approach will produce effective results , witness the ‘ miracles ’ of Western emergency medicine , but in the realm of internal ‘ medicine ’ , there are no cures , only the suppression of symptoms or long - term disease and disorder management using chemical means , mostly synthetic , the intellect seeing no difference between a natural ‘ chemical ’ and a synthesized one .
