I listen often to a Dr. Lee who graduated from Harvard Medical

school and was shocked at the lack of intelligence he encountered in

medical school. He claims that medical school is no better than a

trade school.

In 1976 he was fishing for trout downstream when the thought came to

him, " Why is the medical field NOT preventing disease upstream

before it happens or gets downstream? " In 1976 it was on the cover

of Time magazine that they discovered that Estrogen causes uterine

cancer and yet doctors keep prescribing it. He just had to get away

from the mainstream medical field as his frustration grew and grew.

When he started studying preventive medicines he found the doctors

in his same classes has a significantly higher IQ then those he

found in medical school.

I have heard this time and time again. Doctors are necessary but

they are very human and less educated in certain fields then we

know. Add to that how many do not keep up with continuing education

and you better make sure you take good care of your health and

certainly do NOT take what they say as gospel. Feel unsure? Get

another opinion or two or three. The average is always better then

the one.
