I'm by no means opposed to medical science, and have both seen and experienced tremendous good come from it. Likewise I have seen tremendous good come from non-toxic alternative health approaches.
But as Consumer Reports makes plain this month, there are widespread serious problems in the Medical Industrial Complex, Inc. Beyond the statistics and stories of caution the magazine presents, I should add that I personally have witnessed friends and family not only enjoy great blessings but also suffer horrible debiltating health consequences because of botched medical industrial systems and personnel.
So it's a mixed bag out there. In my view, health is a personal responsibility, and that extends beyond diet and exercise to wise selection of health practitioners.
Regular bashing of non-toxic forms of health care is a staple on the Net. That regular bashing or bullying - I feel - must be regarded in the light of Corporate Competition for Money Bucks. Because that is, alas, the driving engine of the Medical-Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex.
That's why I start these threads. To tell the other side of the story, and to put the bashing or non-toxic health care and non-toxic food in the proper context of competition for consumer mediBucks.
