How different is it- exactly, to the Conventional Medicine industry?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Exploring an ancient healing practice that has been around for over 5,000 years.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Cabral sheds light on propelling Alternative Medicine markets on a global scale.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Integrative and Alternative health practices have been around for over 5,000 years, but how do they work exactly?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Below we discuss the findings of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Stephen Cabral<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211; a prominent Board Certified Doctor of Naturopathy &amp; Integrative Health Practitioner, in an attempt to accurately predict the future of the sector, as well as how it compares to the more \u2018\u2019traditional\u2019\u2019 healthcare industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Understanding Integrative and Alternative Health<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to a study produced by the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3068720\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">National Center for Biotechnology Information<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, Complementary and Alternative Medicine (often referred to as CAM) is a prolific group of diverse and unique medical practices and products that provide an \u2018\u2019alternative\u2019\u2019 to the traditional or conventional healthcare sector.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the moment, there is no exhaustive list of the types of practices that can be categorised as \u2018\u2019CAM practices\u2019\u2019; this is because CAM practices that have been proven to be safe and efficacious are usually adopted by the more mainstream healthcare channels rather quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Having said that, CAM practices can generally be split into five distinct domains, these include: a) mind-body interventions, b) alternative medical systems, c) biologically-based treatments, d) energy therapies, and e) manipulative and body based methods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Alternative and complementary medicine are often used interchangeably, but it should be noted that they are not quite the same. While complementary medicine is a term used to describe therapies and treatments that are \u2018\u2019complementary\u2019\u2019 to western medicine, alternative medicine practices are executed in place of conventional medicine options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2018\u2019Obviously, however, the philosophy of both complementary and alternative healthcare remains the same- stemming from the belief that a person\u2019s recovery should adopt a holistic approach that aims to heal the whole person\u2019\u2019- Dr. Stephen Cabral, Doctor of Naturopathy.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Specifics: How Does it Work?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Successful CAM practice examples date back to over 5,000 years ago; Ayurveda, for example, initially originated in India and showed quite a diverse efficacy according to the aforementioned NCBI study.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It includes both physical and mental treatments- such as yoga, massage, herbs, and meditation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Homeopathy, on the other hand, uses minute-long doses of a substance that causes symptoms so as to trigger a patient\u2019s immune response quickly, and allow the body to begin its rejuvenation process more adequately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Naturopathy is perhaps one of the most popular CAM practices, mainly due to its exceptionally high efficacy rate and long-term standing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/stephencabral.com\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Stephen Cabral<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> explains, \u2018\u2019Naturopathy focuses on non-invasive treatments\u2026 so as to allow a person\u2019s body to do its own healing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite the prolific number of different CAM practices, they do all share one common philosophical characteristic with each other (as well as with conventional medicine), and that is the \u2018\u2019belief that a person\u2019s body has the ability to heal itself; whether that is via the body, mind, or spirit\u2019\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Cabral\u2019s Sector Insights<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Stephen Cabral originally developed an interest in the sphere of integrative medicine after having to rely on it himself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the young age of 17, he tragically had to go through severe health complications that- at the time, seemed to leave him with little hope for recovery. After desperately visiting over 50 doctors and trying out over 100 different treatment options, he stumbled across an \u2018\u2019alternative\u2019\u2019 health care doctor that finally allowed him to achieve a \u2018full recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2018\u2019It was right then that I knew I would dedicate my entire life to try and help others in the same way that I was helped\u2019\u2019- Dr. Stephen Cabral, Doctor of Naturopathy and Integrative Health Practitioner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After roughly 20 years, the now world-renown doctor has authored the #1 International Best-Selling book, titled \u2018\u2019the Rain Barrel Effect\u2019\u2019- which you can get for free at StephenCabral.com\/freebook, and has amassed a prolific global following that has downloaded his \u2018\u2019Alternative Health Podcast\u2019\u2019 (titled, the Cabral Concept) over 22 million times. His facebook support group (CabralSupportGroup.com) currently has over 12,000 members from all over the world who provide support and guidance to each other on a daily basis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Final Words: Donations<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As a final note, Dr. Cabral is a known health philanthropist, and in fact altruistically donates 100% of the profits from his book sales to charitable organizations, many of which help mothers and their children in need with vitamins, food, and living supplies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Dr. Stephen Cabral&#039;s Personal Health Story\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yUak5MdWy0o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; What is Integrative Medicine?
