Preventive medicine or preventive care refers to measures taken to prevent diseases, (or injuries) rather than curing them or treating their symptoms. The term contrasts in method with curative and palliative medicine, and in scope with public health methods (which work at the level of population health rather than individual health). LevelsThis takes place at primary, secondary and tertiary prevention levels.
Simple examples of preventive medicine include hand washing and immunizations. Preventive care may include examinations and screening tests tailored to an individual's age, health, and family history. For example, a person with a family history of certain cancers or other diseases would begin screening at an earlier age and/or more frequently than those with no family history. On the other side of preventive medicine, some non-profit organizations, such as the Northern California Cancer Center, apply epidemiological research towards finding ways to prevent diseases.

Q. chicken guinea homeopathic medicine, preventive and curative? Asked by gopalsingh_khalsa - Fri Sep 8 22:51:15 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Chikungunya is a rare viral infection transmitted by infected mosquitoes (usually in tropical areas). Being viral, there is no specific treatment medical or homeopathic...it has to run its course. Some things have been tried in the past, such as chloroquine, but with very limited success. Best that can be done is to treat the symptoms: rest, NSAIDS (non-steroid anti-inflamatory drugs) such as ibuprofen for fever and joint pain, and mild exercise for stiffness. Sometimes, doctors will order paracetamol to combat the fever and joint pain. (I'm an R.N.) Answered by ilse72 - Sun Sep 10 00:37:34 2006 From Yahoo Answer Search: "preventive medicine"
