Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 Dear , I agree with you to a certain extent. I don't bend over totally either way on the topic. I believe both conventional, modern, mainstream medicine is benefitial as well as alternative medicine approaches. Both have their benefits. I don't want to tose out the baby with the bath water on this issue. I can't see the point of bashing the entire medical field as non-helpful, non-concerned, non- healthy, etc. and totally enbracing the alternative medical approaches as the only helpful and effective methods of cure. So, I believe in what works. Both methods have merit on helping live more healthy lives. As far as Dr. getting sued, I'd have to read the court transcripts before commenting on the details of the case. Do you know what it was the AMA was patitioning for exactly? It must have been something to do with ignoring the regulations that protect the general population on what has been deemed (by them as it may) as corrective and effective methods of medicine. I don't know. I respect your opinions, as extreme as they may be, but I choose to keep a more open mind to the subject. Many of my family members lives have been saved and extended due to the advancement of the medical field thank God. Sugar free gum maybe. :-) Be healthy and happy.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2002 Report Share Posted May 14, 2002 >>Because they are NOT interested in human health. To the contrary, they want people to be sick.<< I have to disagree with this extreme statement. I would have to have a pretty grim view of human nature in general to believe this. >>With medical intervention and guideness heart disease, which was non >>existant 100 years ago, is now responsible for 40% of the deaths in the >>U.S. each year. Cancer, which was non existent 100 years ago, is the #2 killer.<< 100 years ago people were not living anywhere near as long as they are now, so there was not as much time for the heart to wear down or cancer to strike. Also, 100 years ago people did not live with all the pollutants and food additives that we do. A person ate 50 pounds of sugar a year. The average person today eats 3 times that amount. People did a lot of physical exercise, which kept then fit, and worked off stress. Today, people sit behind desks harboring all types of stress which they just internalize. Stress is a factor in both heart disease and cancer. I don't think we can blame heart disease and cancer on doctors. A dear friend of mine would be dead now, if doctors had not discovered an aneurism and performed open heart surgery last summer. He is 75, and doing fine now. 100 years ago, if he had lived to his 70's, this problem would have killed him. I am thankful for the doctors who saved him, and the research which led to this procedure being possible. By the way, what was the #1 cause of death 100 years ago?

So it's downright unfair to criticize her on these grounds. --------------------------- IRA L. JACOBSON --------------------------- mailto:laser@...

I think most naturopaths probably have to undergo a bit more training than this, Just a thought.
