As highlighted in this article, it explains how Western medicine measures different energies in the body by using quantum field energy. This is done by using techniques of nuclear medicine, radiology, and imaging. When diagnosed, treatments involve biochemical methods instead of using “Biophysics”. “Biophysics ” can be used to treat the various sensitive level of disturbance in energies detected and use such for diagnostics. 

As highlighted in the article, Quantum physics defines there is “no difference between energy and matter”. The theories explain that all systems and functions in the human body, from the atomic to the molecular level are continuously in “motion- creating resonance”.

Understanding the movement of this resonance in the human body is extremely important. Scientists can assess the method this energy functions and maintains health in the human. “Energy Medicine (EM)”, whether touch therapy or device-based, is “the use of subtle energy fields to therapeutically assess and treat energetic imbalances”. These methods help in maintaining the body’s systems back to “homeostasis (balance)”. Energy Medicine is believed to depend on the ability of Modern Western medicine to align physics with biochemistry.

Energy Medicine is defined in this article, “as a branch of integrative medicine that studies the science of therapeutic applications of subtle energies. Western medicine has investigated the body’s internal systems – from organs, tissues, and cells to the current understanding of hormones and peptides”.

This article reveals a survey that shows a third of cancer patients are using complementary and alternative medicines. This survey supports and encourages scholars to support more research into complementary and integrative medicine.  

Most patients have expressed their experience during the survey how they have used therapies like Reiki, herbal remedies, homeopathy, reflexology to aid and support the healing process.

When referring to the above article, professionals request complementary medicine to be more mainstream.

Dr Rajendra Sharma, medical director of the diagnostic clinic says, “orthodox and complementary medicine should not sit on different sides of health care provision”. He further emphasizes that Integrated medicine promotes and encourages fully qualified doctors to be experts in many of the complementary disciplines that should be the health care model of the future.

In this article Prince of Wales promotes everyone to have healthcare in complementary medicine. The Prince of Wales is known as an advocate of complementary therapies. According to WHO (World Health Organization), resolution to his propaganda promotes everyone to have access to the treatment of their choice “safe in the knowledge that it is effective and well regulated”.

Further, British Medical Association commented; “while recognizing the growing interest in complementary and alternative therapies, it’s important that patients are protected against unskilled practitioners. Standard of good practice should be set to help both referring doctors and their patients”.

NHS is making sure only those therapies that are validated and regulated are available.

BCMA stands for British Complementary Medicine Association. BCMA hold an international register of the qualified and comprehensively insured therapist. All are members of the BCMA and adhere to the code of ethics.

This BMJ article further discusses the concept of managing chronic pain using “complementary and integrative medicine”. Chronic pain is related mainly in three areas that have been extensively using “Complementary and Integrative medicine (CIM)”. 

• Treatment method of backache
• Treatment method of Neck pain
• Rheumatoid arthritis 

CIM consists of both Western-style medicine and complementary health methods as a new combined approach to multiple chronic clinical diseases. Specially CIM has a unique role in chronic pain management.

In this WHO global report, they discuss the importance of implementing the WHO Traditional Medicine Strategy. As highlighted in this article, WHO considers Traditional and complementary medicine as an extremely important health resource where prevention and management of lifestyle-related chronic diseases and affect the health needs of the aging population.

Countries aiming to integrate the best of traditional, complementary, and conventional medicine will explore many differences between the two systems. In addition, they explore areas where both converge to help solve the health challenges of the 21st century.

The above article discusses the benefits and challenges of integrating “Complementary and Alternative Medicine” with Conventional Health care practice. Reforming health care is one of the crucial discussion points among many experts. Economic and time pressures are creating massive pressure among medical professionals and hence there is less time they can spend with patients. New paradigms clearly highlighted, although science and technology have resulted in improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of disease, and  there is a lack of encouragement on the development of science and technology in the healing of the physical body in many ways physical/ mental/ psychological aspects.
