"alternative" medicine versus western medicine at THE SOURCE THAILAND
since we focus on NATURAL MEDICINE in the concept for THE SOURCE i may have to explain a little bit about ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE versus WESTERN MEDICINE. for some of you it seems hard to understand that we focus on the so called alternative medicine instead of just combining both methods. the reason why we do so is in detail explained in the concept under "the departments - clinic".
i would like to add though that we plan to be absoutely world class in our clinic, including a high tech (but based on natural medicine) dental clinic. of course we would also like to offer a "modern" hospital where it is possible to undergo surgery on a top level - simply to be able to offer a high class emergency medicine too. it could easily be that some of our residents will opt for such a clinic on our premises. should this be the case we will find a way to finance such a clinic as well, which would put us in the comfortable certainty that our valley offers indeed everything one needs.
but here again why we focus for the cure of life threatening diseases entirely on so called alternative medicine. i use this term because it is widely spread although it is actually wrong, as the so called alternative medicine, or better natural medicine, was the main medicine for 5'000 years, while the western medicine joined as an alternative only about 100 years ago. both medicine types have their field of expertise where it makes sense to use them. whenever it comes to CURE diseases there is nothing better than natural medicine, while western medicine has huge advantages in emergency situations. especially the surgery section, thanks to fantastic modern technology, is incredibly advanced, while the internal medicine has a huge knowledge deficit when compared with natural medicine - no wonder, if you compare 5'000 years of experience with 100 years this is easy to understand, though not easy to accept for the "gods in white".
most likely western medicine will be able to close the ranks in a few hundred years only, mainly due to the fact that western internal medicine will hopefully by then be an integrated part of natural medicine.
since our focus is healing and not fixing we build our clinic to CURE and therefore have to put our main effort on natural medicine, for the sake of the patient. when treating life threatening diseases the use of chemicals is a huge threat by itself and we therefore have to decide. however, as mentioned, should our community wish that we should also have a surgical clinic on site and we find a way to finance it there is no obligation against it and in fact i am sure the locals in the area would be more than happy to have such a facility available too. we already use high tech western standard in our laboratory and dental clinic. i expect western, eastern and european natural medicine to merge within the next 100 years - we will do our part to accomplish this ASAP.
