"Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it."
- Helen Keller
Complementary & Alternative Medicine (CAM)
CAM healing modalities extend significantly beyond that of conventional medicine. Nevertheless, both models have their strengths and weaknesses, and we are at a crossroads where an integrative approach is greatly needed.
Our Western culture is limited in its medical and mental health practices, utilizing pharmaceuticals, surgery, and/or therapy alone. Many of the medications prescribed come with harmful side effects. CAM offers a myriad of additional options for healing that reach beyond the physical body, its chemical make-up, and traditional talk therapy, and can help to restore mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health without side effects.
CAM options can reduce symptoms, slow down the progression of ailments, and help improve quality of life. In some instances, they can provide miraculous healing results. Explore the options available and find modalities that resonate with you. We all hold the innate ability for self-healing. Become empowered by taking initiative in your own wellbeing.
