The Science Of Healing
Medicine has become an epic focus in our lives as the cost of healthcare rises to proportions that are bankrupting individuals and corporate systems. People are becoming so frustrated with the “take a pill” structure to western medicine modalities, that a return to natural means of healing is becoming a booming industry.
Many that are seeking to restore balance and well being to their lives are discovering that the answer may not lie in a quick fix solution but in a change in lifestyle and philosophy. What used to be considered “voodoo” or faith-based healing is now reaching mainstream awareness through the diligent pursuits of scientists and forward thinking individuals.
With the recent release of the movie “The Living Matrix” the doors are being opened to the understanding of what is considered alternative or complementary healing modalities.

Each one of us has the potential to heal and improve our well being. Maybe it is time to become the curious investigator to the many options that are available to the consumer to complement the traditional medical model.
