Heightened health awareness
People’s awareness of health issues has increased considerably in recent years. Never has so much been spent on health and wellbeing. Many patients are afraid of the side-effects of synthetic chemical drugs or of surgical intervention and are seeking helpful alternatives. Thisstatement is not intended to hide the fact that drugs and operations are right for many patients and are often even life-saving and necessary. However an increasing number of chronically sick patients are asking about the consequences of long-term medication and whether there are not perhaps other ways of treating their condition.
