After overcoming an ailment such as infertility, PMS, or migraines, patients are encouraged to continue treatment as a means of maintaining health and preventing or minimizing the occurrence of disease. Chinese Medicine has a rich history of use as a means of preventing disease and extending life both in terms of length and quality. In China it is said, “The superior doctor treats before there is disease, the mediocre doctor treats [when one is] on the verge of becoming ill, and the inferior doctor treats [when there is] already disease.”

According to these statements, the superior physician should prevent disease from arising, not just seek to eliminate it after it has taken hold. It is treatment based on pattern discrimination that allows a Chinese medical practitioner to do this. We all exhibit some pattern of disharmony even though we may not be diagnosed as suffering from a particular disease. By addressing these constitutional or habitual patterns when they are relatively mild, one can prevent them from becoming so severe as to eventually cause disease. We believe there is a shift that has been taking place among western trained physicians, and it is encouraging to see many turning to preventative medicine and anti-aging practices. Though the two may use different models to represent the human organism and hold varying opinions on how pathology occurs, Conventional medicine and Chinese medicine have finally arrived at the same important conclusion.
