Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Most of the alternative medical systems emphasize the wholeness of body, mind, and spirit, and the unity of the individual with the natural environment. This is in sharp contrast to Western medicine's mechanistic approach, in which the body is seen as a machine with parts to be fixed when they are broken. The main focus of Western medicine is on the treatment of disease, often with drugs and surgery, rather than on the holistic promotion of health. It can even be argued that the Western approach is more of a disease management system than a true healthcare system.
