[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses Traditional Chinese Medicine and the fact that it is finally gaining a certain measure of respect in the Western world. Physicians trained in Western or “modern” medicine dismissed traditional Chinese medicine, sometimes referred to as TCM as nothing but superstitious quackery.

Wellness Centers / Medically-Based vs. Fitness-Based
[ send me this paper ]
40 pages in length. The writer discusses the fact that within the world of physical and mental wellness, there are two very different approaches to the same goal: medical and fitness. The two vastly diverse programs offered at wellness centers around the world provide similar benefits; however, it is the road taken to achieve these benefits that greatly differ. Medically-based wellness centers are geared more toward the traditional, pharmaceutical therapy that has sustained throughout the centuries. Fitness-based wellness centers, on the other hand, utilize one's inherent physical abilities, coupled with nutrition, relaxation and exercise, to aid in the body's recuperation. Granted, both entities have their specific place within the interworkings of overall wellness, yet their diversity maintains them as separate practices. Current trends, however, are showing a voluntary merging of the two applications to work toward a comprehensive approach to health care. Bibliography lists 24 sources.
