Very interesting perspective. You know, and I certainly wouldn't tell the doctors this, I wonder if they realize that they are making it very unlikely that you will ever take your child for medical help again. Is this what they really want? To put fear and distrust in their ways?

But it is so true. If you go to a butcher, they will sell you meat. If you go to a mainstream medical doctor, they will NOT prescribe natural meds.
