Future (cont.)
A survey conducted in 2004 showed that more than one third of
the population in the United States was currently using some
form of natural medicine. With such a large number of its
citizens using alternatives to mainstream medical care, thegovernment has begun to take notice, develop policies,
regulations and fund research.
Will natural medicine make it to the main stream? Of course it
will, its here. It is slowly but surely being integrated as we
speak. The only thing left to do is give it a try, and start healing.
