Abstract
I believe that 21st century is the century of Quality of Life (QOL). I recognize that QOL assessment plays very important roles to evaluate the usefulness of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), because both QOL and CAM have the same direction and philosophy to understand the humanbeing as a whole. In addition, not only QOL but also CAM struggle with the difficulty of the translation from subjective evaluation into objective one together. I hope that CAM repairs the demerits of fractionalized medicine with the help of concept based on QOL in order to establish the ideal medicine for humanbeing in future.
