Great Article!!!
Wouldn't it be great if Health Care and Medical Care were the same thing? I still remember sitting through classes where doctors taught us that diet and exercise are important for weight loss and cardiac care, but that's about it. The biggest joke was learning that solid vitamin supplements are not good because they go right through you. Excuse me Mr. "Take Two Aspirin and Call Me In The Morning", why should I believe that vitamin pills do nothing but pills full of medicine are just dandy?
Ask a doctor when the last "cure" was "discovered"... Most that I have asked answer Jonas Salk's since Polio is all but irraticated in the US. Fair enough. However, how long ago was that? With the billions spent on Pharmaceutical Research, you'd think there would be a better track record than that.
Like you said, medicine as done a lot of great things, and when it comes to trauma no one can touch medical. However, when Medical Docters and the AMA start pointing fingers at alternative Wellness techniques and treatments, I point back and ask them, how many patients are killed each year because of medical mistakes?
