Alternative Medicine

Alternative medicine refers to any system of treatment that is not the traditional Western "allopathic" medicine.

Western medicine has traditionally focused exclusively on the physical aspects of the person (the body), and intervened mainly through drugs and surgery. Alternative medicine, on the other hand, tends to treat the whole person (mind/body/spirit) and uses techniques that work by stimulating the body's natural ability to heal itself.

Alternative medicine also recognizes the role of emotions, especially repressed or suppressed emotions, in the causation and maintenance of a number of disease processes, particularly those that are immune system related, like Cancer, MS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and other conditions.

While it is true that Radical Forgiveness reduces emotional stress and might therefore contribute to disease prevention, it cannot be claimed to be a form of alternative medicine. It is more accurate to say that it is form of complementary medicine. It should be part of any treatment protocol, no matter what the primary form of medicine might be.
