Prospects of integrated medicine as a future problem solver

Abstract

Many medical drugs extensively cause side effects and their prices are out of reach of the common man particularly of that from the developing countries. Thus the major objectives of this article are choice of appropriate drugs from all medical fields after due research-based rationalization, down-costing of prices of drugs to qualify their use at poor country’s level and elimination of antagonism between the practitioners from different fields: mainstream, naturopathy, homeopathy, electronic gem therapy, traditional medicine, etc. Requisite secondary data was collected from the published literature on different fields of medicine, while the primary data based on self and other’s empirical experience, was computed recalling self- witnessed medical treatment cases and interviews of the experts from different fields. The data were then sorted, processed and interpreted; the results were reported as descriptive research. The results did impress to believe that nature is equipped with extensive cures of diseases from which the humanity is suffering and thus the research should be focused on the use of medicinal seeds and herbs to rationalize their use as antibacterial agents in particular and others in general. Many substances, if taken, in crude form, may undergo certain biochemical reactions more energetically and effectively to cure the ailing parts of the living body, rays scattered through a prismatic structure of diamonds can have soothing and energizing effects on body joints to relieve them from pain and so on. All the fields of medicine do have significant potential for eradication of a large number of diseases. It may be in the interest of humanity all over the globe to develop a strategy to pick what is the best in all of them for use to cure ailing humanity. To achieve better results, it is in the general interest of medical practice to merge all the fields to develop a synthesized system that may be called "Integrated Medicine”.
