73% of Canadians use Alternative Medicine
In countries with universal health care, alternative medicine has greater challenges in getting acceptability. So when a news post in The Vancouver Sun mentioned that 73% of Canadians in their lifetime use alternative medicine, it didn’t miss our attention.
Ayurveda Group firmly believes that the compound challenges of ageing populations and ever increasing costs of health care will need a multi pronged solution. This solution amongst other things will need to have -
- Prevention as a key component
- A partial (if not complete) back to nature, away from chemicals solution
- Recognition of Ayurveda’s successes in preventing ill health and treating diseases
As President Obama grapples with the out-of-control health care challenges of America, recognition and acceptance of “alternative” medicine is something that has been largely missing from all debates.
The word alternative clearly suggests that when the current solution is not working, it is imperative that the alternate path be explored.
