In the almost 25 years since becoming Editor of Positive Health PH Online, I have never before felt as I do today such a complete polarization between the so-called orthodox / conventional and the complementary / alternative / natural treatment healthcare communities. With reference to PH Online - which covers a very wide spectrum of topics regarding health, embracing mind, body, emotions and spiritual - these schisms have been evident in treatment approaches to virtually all conditions including cancer, dentistry, cfs/me, depression, bodywork, immune resilience - almost since the launch of PH Online.
