Dr Mark Hamilton gave his view again: "Conventional doctors are advocating looking into other areas and adding on to what conventional medicine can provide.

"I don't think any doctor worth their degree is going to say that what we know is going to cure everything. What we can do has limitations. I think complementary medicine is in addition to conventional medicine. I can't see any clash."

Gloria finished the interview with a question for viewers:

"Do you agree with Dermot that we all have the power within us and the positive thinking to change our lives and help us recover from illness or should we just stick with conventional medicine and let the doctors do their job?"

Several years after his diagnosis, Dermot is in the best health of his life. He has moved from grim despair to being a bright and energetic proponent of positive thinking and multi-dimensional healing. He believes that what helped him can help others as well. .

It was refreshing to hear the views of an open minded doctor like Dr. Mark Hamilton. There is no need for 'either, or'. There is every need for 'both, and'.

Conventional and complementary medicine can give us two strings to our bow and enhance our chances of both mental and physical survival.
