Welcome,
There is a global revolution in medicine where a change in treatment paradigm has shifted increasingly from allopathic models of conventional medicine towards increasing use of Natural Medicine or a blended form of medicine (IM). Disenchantment with the classic conventional medical approach, involving pharmaceutical treatments or surgery has occurred in the past decade.
Many factors have caused this shift of interest among healthcare consumers, including the cost/benefit ratio of drug treatments and a desire to receive non-invasive interventions. In fact, modern surgery has moved towards the “avoidance of the flash of the surgeon’s knife” with the advent of keyhole or laparoscopic surgery.
The Holt Institute of Medicine is leading the revolution in the teaching of natural medicine.
