In America, conventional medicine is determined by western philosophy which finds its origin in Newtonian physics. In other words, take a pill…
Once a year, we go to the Doctor’s office for something called an Annual Health Exam. We sometimes go to the Doctor more frequently and wonder what the difference may be.
