The Battle

Are you a mechanist or a vitalist?

Tug of War

Each model sees you and your health differently.  Which approach makes sense to you?

The Mechanists

The established health care model sees the body as a machine. With parts that wear out or need attention. It has spawned a variety of disciplines that see you as merely the sum of your parts. Examples include:

• Internists
• Urologists
• Cardiologists
• Orthopedists

Intervention usually involves drugs to change the function of the body by artificially changing blood chemistry.

The Vitalists

The emerging model is more holistic and recognizes the interactivity of the mind, body and spirit. Because you are self-healing, vitalists see you as greater than the sum of your parts. Examples include:

• Chiropractors
• Acupuncturists
• Homeopaths
• Naturopaths

Care is designed to help restore your body's balance and integrity. Aches or pains are merely signs of some other underlying problem.

Best of Both
