All healing takes place naturally. Treatment simply tries to make nature's job easier. This may be achieved by surgical closure of a wound so that the two sides can heal across or by trying to influence the body's biochemistry in some way to facilitate overall function.  

Pharmaceutical treatments tend to focus on the body as compartments that can be individually dealt with. In reality, we are holistic - all areas of our body are linked and are affected by the ailment and the treatment alike. It is not possible to treat one area of the body without having an influence everywhere else. 

The best forms of treatment will therefore look at all aspects of the body in relation to a problem, allowing nature to do its job more quickly and effectively.  Ideally, the emotional as well as the physical environment is explored too. If we return to a lifestyle and environment that enabled disease to be expressed in the first place it is no surprise if we end up with the same result. 

Energy imbalances can manifest in a variety of ways.  Conventional medicine mostly uses symptomatic suppression to treat these imbalances eg anti-inflammatories, anti-pyretics etc.  Whilst the disappearance of a symptom might appear to indicate that the situation has been addressed and improved, in reality it forces the body to express the imbalance that still remains in another more serious manner.  If a treatment introduces it's own imbalances in the form of side-effects as well as symptom suppression it is now easy to see that the overall situation has significantly worsened rather than been improved.  There is now a greater overall imbalance that must be addressed in order to achieve a true cure.  Sometimes previous intervention (usually in the form of unnecessary surgery) makes a complete cure almost impossible.
