“The problem lies not in the intentions, nor in the dedication of individuals, but as so often in the history of science, from a limitation in the prevailing paradigm or model that governs and limits thinking in any given era.”

Thomas Kuhn, PhD (physics)

Professor, Philosophy of Science

“One of the principal objects of theoretical research in any department of knowledge is to find the point of view from which the subject appears in its greatest simplicity.”

J. Willard Gibbs (1839-1903)

The essence of this latter quote of the great American chemist is that there are multitudes of ways to conduct research or to seek a solution to a problem under consideration. However, none will excel unless the essence of the subject is understood and approached by an angle that renders itself most complete and productive.

Nothing can apply better to the field of medicine where the subject of research — Man — renders such infinite components and variables among his anatomy and physiology including morphological, biochemical and energetic elements and, even more overwhelming, an unfathomed number of relationships between these.

Not surprisingly, these galaxies of targets have generated virtually endless scientific inquiries — biomedical research — and just as many therapeutic interventions in both fields of medicine, conventional and alternative. However, the facts are that all of these, on the whole, have failed to procure any substantial progress in the prevention or treatment of chronic degenerative diseases. On the contrary, never before have the populations of the developed countries been subjected to such an onslaught of crippling degenerative diseases.

Yet, instead of eliciting an in-depth analysis of the reasons for failure, both bio-medical researchers and medical practitioners have just continued on the same overall unproductive path of manipulating the body’s countless variables and components in the hope of hitting on more productive “well”.....

He goes on to break down the paradigm and explain what's wrong with it; he says it's not truly wholistic.
