Part 1:
Health: a person’s mental or physical condition
Wellness: the state or condition of being in good physical or mental health.
Holistic: characterized by comprehension of the parts of something as intimately interconnected and explicable only by reference to the whole.
Western Medicine: is a term sometimes used to describe evidence-based medicine, which, for various historical reasons, emerged from "Western" civilisation.
Indigenous Medicine: is the sum total of the knowledge, skills, and practices based on the theories, beliefs, and experiences indigenous to different cultures of a certain location or region.

Personal health has become over time more associated with long live and good well-being. Health is not a constant thing and it will vary from day-to-day and place-to-place. With this humans have no continual guarantee of good health and must take precautionary steps to care and maintain their own personal health. Illness has been found as something that can be virtually preventable if proper measures are maintained. Illness can also be relieved of a person if they take medication if that is available to them and proven to aid that illness. Disease is now seen as a contagious illness transferred through the air or body fluids containing this disease. Disease spread can now be contained to some extent with proper precaution. Treatment has changed dramatically with knowledge about bacteria and things that encourage and start illness. Treatment is now when you have an illness you take proper pharmaceuticals and start healing and recovering from the said illness. Modern medicine is now a very complicated thing that takes years to learn and will always have new ideas to …show more content…

Randomized: Picks a random group of people and tests the theory or drug on these people and watches to see results. Helps see who the drugs or theory affects and what it does to said people letting the drug be introduced to the public if it is deemed safe.
Blind: A test where the scientist examines a group of people and the list of people who are different is kept by a third party and is not revealed until the end. This helps test the group without the scientists having any views before the test begins or biases.
Double-Blind: A medical study where both the subjects participating and the researchers are unaware of when the experimental medication or procedure has been given. Double-blinded studies are often used when initial studies shows particular promise.
Placebo: It is either a pill or procedure that the doctors will prescribe or do that will do nothing but the patient will not know, it tricks their brain into thinking that it helps, and the patient gets
