Some medical problems can be solved with conventional drugs, physiotherapy or surgery – many cannot. After 3 to 6 months these conditions are defined as chronic. In most cases standard western medical treatment cannot cure chronic conditions, but only alleviate the pain at the cost of developing severe side effects. Chronic low back pain, osteoarthrosis and headaches are common examples where standard medicine does not work. Patients realize that further typical western medicine is insufficient or ineffective. However standard medicine is not the only approach – it is not the most effective one, it is just the most common. Old habits die hard and many patients are used to turning to drugs as a first resort, although they may not prove to be an appropriate solution. From the edge of modern science – such as biotechnology – to the realm of ancient medical wisdom – such as Chinese Medicine – there are many alternative solutions. They often show stronger, immediate, and better long term effects, with little to no side effects. In many cases they have proven to be a better scientific back up than old-fashioned standard care.
