Integration of medical systems has been misunderstood by the rejoinder. Each medical system has shortcomings and limitations. One system may help to cure one disease but be not able to do the wrok in another disease. Further, homeopathy has wonderful drugs. Acupuncture or acupressure has its plus points. What is important is to cure diseases, whatever may be the medicine... The medicine will cure, if it has the power to do so. There are also psychological factors in the field of medicine and counselling. Man is a complex being. We need an integrated/holistic health system, there is no doubt about it. This approach is being followed in many countries.
