Good health care requires the correct treatment for each ailment. Treatment that misses its target or never even touches on the actual basis of a disease or injury clearly isn't part of effective health care.
Discovering exactly the right treatment for most diseases is easier said than done, as people in the research divisions of leading pharmaceutical companies will attest. Yet, that's not for lack of trying; it is notable that so many individuals are devoting themselves to discovering what will heal people and keep them healthy. We can only imagine how many hours these researchers have spent hypothesizing and testing and investigating!
The scope of research and treatment has been broadening lately. Most notably, both patients and health-care providers are exploring nontraditional methods of treatment and maintenance.
