Modern medicine is diagnostic in nature and is never holistic, and definitely it has brought in many benefits and improved our understanding of how our body works, but it is more addressing the local causative agents,, but there are alternates.
Similar to having a pain reliever to a pain killer, reliever may not give you a immediate cure but takes a while, but suppressing pain in the case of the killer, is just straining the body and numbing it not to know the physical symptoms.
Newer studies have clearly shown that many aspects of pain management or specific response to stimuli (Caused by bacterial, viral infections) are better managed by mind over body.

Americans may assume that the fine print in a drug's packaging represents the collective scientific knowledge about that medication, allowing doctors and patients to make informed health care decisions. In fact, negotiations between pharmaceutical companies and the FDA over warning labels are common during the drug approval process, with drugmakers endeavouring to cherry-pick what's included in order to present their products in the best possible light.
