"I believe in treating patients
according to the laws of nature regardless of the types of medicine
used, be it pharmaceutical or natural. A physician's role is first
to relieve the patient's immediate suffering.
However, the final goal of any treatment
is to restore the patient's body to its optimal health, and not
just treating symptoms and using medicines to replace the body's
normal/natural functions.
A good physician should also educate the
patient on how to prevent future illnesses through proper diet
and lifestyle modifications according to the patient's individual
medical history and risk factors. After all, good nutrition
and a healthy lifestyle are the foundations of health."
