Overview
Traditional medicine, practiced by indigenous cultures and in many parts of the world such as China and India, is new to many, but its ability to provide a superior first line of defense against most illness indicates the need for its better understanding by practitioners, patients and potential patients. Careful examination shows that such traditional forms of medicine have far closer ties to Western medicine than most people realize. "The Fork in the Road" describes how modern Western medicine diverged from traditional forms of healing and how, with appropriate consideration for the strengths of both forms of medicine, they can now merge once again to create a stronger, united defense against illness and disease.
