The dominant system of medicine in the more industrially-developed
countries - what Green Health Watch Magazine calls 'orthodox medicine'
and contrasts with 'complementary medicine' (complementary medicine)
- focuses on patching up and curing specific ailments rather than
healing the whole body and mind.
It is the world of ever more clever technological
fixes and after-the-event medicines. Its progress is increasingly
driven more by the pharmaceutical industry's quest for profit than
the common good.
