A new era in health care and medicine is critically needed

A new era in health care and medicine is critically needed. A strategy for a rebirth of self-reliance is needed. A way to reduce overwhelming medical expenses and reduce the national debt is needed. A more humane and natural medicine is needed. The integrated system that the Chinese have developed is an excellent model to draw upon in the Western world to meet these needs. Were some of the Chinese model to be used in the West, it would go a long way toward creating a common, integrated medicine for the whole world.

An integrated, comprehensive, and multidisciplinary system of medicine, as well as a culture-wide sustainable tradition of self-care is crucial in America. Necessity demands innovation. The features of an emerging new structure for health care and medicine will not replace and are not really an alternative to conventional Western medicine. The emerging system must be collaborative. Integrative medicine and self-care need not be invented in America. Excellent resources for the development of these new features of American medicine are in place and highly refined in China and other cultures.

We are in a special time in the U.S. concerning the medical cost crisis. A new political era is at hand, a new scientific paradigm (the quantum) is affecting all levels of society, and our 3rd millennia is directly before us. Remember that by the Chinese calendar it is the actually the 5th millennia. Click to learn how Chinese medicine treats Tuberculous Pleuritis.

With the inspiration of new possibilities and with China as a mentor in health care and medical matters, enthusiastic support from business, education, and the media, along with the commitment of our citizens to reach out and grasp wellness through self-care, the U.S. can transform the medical cost nightmare. The economics of such a system in concert with military and other reductions can radically reduce the our budget deficit. By the millennia, with the united cooperation of all citizens, including the medical community and people from every social and economic level, the U.S. has the opportunity to create a completely new health care system and dramatically reduce the national debt.

Here, at the brink of the millennia, there is an opportunity for the human community to breakthrough to integrated ideas from the current "either/or" context, to embrace collaboration over competition, and to grasp the benefits of self-reliance in all aspects of life, including health. The best of science in collaboration with ancient wisdom, through a link between conventional Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, is a powerful strategy for achieving an "integrated world medicine."
