Just curious why is Big Pharm the villain while CAM with many made up

diseases and useless recommendations not. I think each health item, dietary

supplement, drug, disease, etc, needs to stand on its own. IMHO adrenal

fatigue has no basis - not that more reliable research may show otherwise

but it isn't there now. The reason drugs are so prevalent is that people

demand them instead of going the much harder route of diet and exercise

(from birth). I can't tell you how angry patients would get at my husband

when he refused to write an antibiotic prescription when it wasn't needed.

Or how many people refuse to change diet but instead want to eat all the

crap they are used to eating but still want their diabetic and cholesterol

meds. How many people want gastric bypass surgery with all its side effects

as opposed to losing weight a more traditional way (even though we know

prevention is the better answer).

I wonder how many people have purchased the $70 caffeine laced leggings to

lose weight? Or how many people buy weight loss supplements just to find

most have prescription drugs i nthem illegally. Or how many healthy people

have their " adjustments " with a chiro when no research exists that it is

needed or helps.

I think you are confusing the two types of approaches. Those miracle,

promise-the-world cures and caffeine laced leggings type " cures " are not what

CAM is all about.

It's serious medicine, and the doctors who are involved are highly intelligent

and well educated - Weil, Sinatra, Deepak Chopra, Mark Hyman,

just to name a few.

The people who go to CAM docs are those who are health oriented and on the track

of self discipline already. The go to the CAM docs because they take the time

to listen, and because

they approach the body as a biologic system rather than just a set of symptoms

to be dealt with by pharmaceutical drugs. Do you mean to tell me you and your

husband think The Institute of Functional

Medicine is bogus?

My mother has done research at the Burzynski clinic for many years and I assure

you it is not about scare tactics and $$$.

Although his treatment method may not be appropriate for every cancer patient,

it has helped many.

Of course I have a personal connection to this topic however it is so important

not to generalize and make assumptions of those trying to help others with

non-traditional methods. If everyone thought that way we would never make

advancements in medicine or nutrition.

You would have to take each disease or healing approach or whatever and let

it stand on its own...IFM and Dr. Bland have had their problems.

I start with MNT & CAM too! Rx only if need until MNT & CAM eliminate

the need for Rx meds. Think about the Dx Hypertension! MDs must

prescribe Rx BP meds to prevent stroke but the body has usually

increase pressure because it is not getting adequate blood flow.

Adequate blood is needed to get every nutrient to every part of the

body! The minute a person starts on BP meds, malnutition begins. Get

MNT and CAM to get off meds and get blood pressure back to normal and

nutrients flowing! I agree with Jacqui and regarding the MD's

approach to medicine! I just sent a link to CAM.

I think that although we are bound by our code of ethics to be

evidence-based, we must also keep an open mind. Many of the diseases that

are now dx were not always that way. An example that comes to mind is

HIV/AIDS. That dx started out as a case study of two men with similar

symptoms. Treatments that were common in the past are now seen as barbaric

at worst, ineffective at best. Diseases and treatments evolve over time.

In situations of uncertainty, I remember a quote from Men In Black: Fifteen

hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe.

Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen

minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what

you'll know tomorrow. ~ Kay
