Abstract
The article analyzes factors influencing the position of traditional, alternative and complementary medicine (T/CAM) in the 21st century. The author puts forward a hypothesis that the significance of T / CAM will be maintained, which will contribute to the negative health phenomena associated with the crisis of Western civilization, which conventional medicine cannot counteract. The author discusses in detail the mechanism of tanatosis postulated by him as the cause of negative health consequences.
