Anand Giridharadas discussed back in October 23rd, 2009, how politicians on a global scale rarely address an issue before it becomes a forgone plight and should consider the approach of holistic medicine when tackling the world’s financial situation. Despite criticism of untraditional methods, holistic medicine has been known to concentrate on a general “wellness” before the person deteriorates. Likewise, “experts about the approach’s core tenets” expressed their opinions on how politics could benefit starting with investing and performing actions to prevent a future catastrophe despite “other priorities”, as well as carefully locating the underlying reasons for maladies instead of just suppressing them in a reductive manner. Hereby lies the problem where, “conventional medicine is very unbalanced in placing all its emphasis on external interventions rather than looking to advance that internal capacity to maintain healing,” said Andrew Weil, founder of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine. Just like the economy, traditional medicine focuses on the outward appearance and not the inner being where the problem still lies despite the facade. Therefore, it’s safe to say we have “An Economy in Need of Holistic Medicine“. It only goes to show how holistic medicine not only vaccinates the human body of pathogens, but serves as a medium for other interconnections in the world.
