our medical system treats symptoms

[norral]

i was wondering about the scandanavian countries their approach to health. i would imagine its probably pretty integrated but i dont know.
the most holistic system i have seen is traditional chinese medicine. it combines herbs diet and exercise and seems to be very effective. the elderly chinese seem to be healthier than say elderly americans. of course it also gets down to personal choice. i find diet is one of the most difficult things for people to change. we , as humans, get a lot of comfort from food and it is hard to let that go .
