10 Important Changes In Healthcare Over The Past 20 Years

Intuitive Medicine, Medical Reports, Organic Lifestyle / By Laura Koniver, MD

I went to medical school in 1996 — almost 30 years ago. In that amount of time, there has been a lot of positive forward momentum in health and healing, and many diseases that were considered terminal now have amazing outcomes thanks to new developments such as biological therapies for cancer treatment and autoimmune diseases. Advances in our understanding of how to help the body heal are not a new thing — centuries ago physicians used leeches in blood letting, or prescribed time by the sea when they were not sure what else to offer (which I think […]
