Are mind-body therapies a waste of time? Many kinds of people could give an answer
to this question. Some people totally agree with this kind of treatment, they think it’s
the only way to success when you’re ill. Sceptical people, even doctors, believe that
these therapies are not effective.

In my opinion, when you’re ill you can learn how to manage your illness, doing some
relaxation and finding your own peace inside of the body. I think that’s the reason for
why these kinds of therapies are coming up. But the point is that they’re not actually
the solution. If you’ve a cancer, a chronical disease or any other illness, only
traditional, scientifical treatment will help you, with some medicine, because it goes
directly to the problem, and the problem is on your physical body. Only mind cannot
cure the disease, but of course it can be used as a supplement, it can improve your
quality of life, when for instance you’ve to do chemotherapy or any destructive
treatment.

To sum up, I think traditional and mind-body therapies can perfectly live in harmony.
