Comprehensive Medicine

Comprehensive Medicine, advocated for many years by Dr Stacey B. Day, should not be merely a catch-all phrase. It should be a system put to practical and effective use by developing all available global knowledge and resources. By advancing the concept of COMPREHENSIVE MEDICINE improved treatment and many medical problems can be ameliorated or solved. This approach views each patient as an "individual person suffering from illness in a given place at a given time". By "individual person" is meant a whole person or a biopsychosocial -existential entity. It should be recognized that there are limitations to current Western (Occidental) Medical Practice, and it is argued that Traditional Medicine (as in Africa, Asia, the Orient) and Psychosomatic Medical approaches, integrating all disciplines of knowledge must be the basis of our healing methodologies.
