How much is being spent to clean up the medical profession? budhababy Right on John.

I write copy for a lot of alternative health stuffand have learned A LOT doing the research into that. It seems that many other countries have much better health care than the US. If someone is really sick and can afford it, I highly recommend seeking medical treatment in several other countries. When my mom had cancer the latest new tretment is what actually caused her death... NOT the disease. Best, Dan Thanks for sharing that, John.

What John said is absolutely 100% on the mark. Including the part about Big Pharma having it's thumb on the carotid artery of 'medicine'. I'm not saying don't go to the doctor or the pharmacy for help. But, before you do anything you have to educate yourself. Most of the pharmaceutical conglomerates cures really do come straight from mother nature. This is not opinion, this is fact. And then, when they modify it enough to apply for a patent they plug it into their marketing machine and watch as mucho fungolas flood into their coffers. Of course, as a capitalist, this is all hunky dorey with me. But, don't be nieve enough to think that they are really trying to 'help' you. Only you can help yourself. And as John already said, it all starts with what's between your ears. Curtis John,

No matter how fantastic or decorated she may be... unless you're reading this from mars... your doc is HUMAN and has a house payment, car payment, tuition, etc... your doc runs a business just like you. Your doc gets tired, distracted, depressed, disinterested,etc... Its NOT pretty but its true. You're right on the money John. Doc Mike Never forget that your doc no matter how much you like him.

Forgive the double posting this time, however I felt the need to make sure I included a link that reveals the fastest growing infectious disease in the United States, yet each year thousands are misdiagnosed. This is so urgent, that a documentary film is being released to warn, and inform the American people of this disease.

My son in law is in the army where his Doctor is dictated by whoever is available. He has been fighting an illness for almost 3 years now and they still do not know what is wrong. As a last resirt they have diagnosed chronic fatigue syndrome as a result of a viral infection. This is going to result in his being put out of the service not to mention the catastrophe he has gone through while they tried to decide what was wrong. I have told my daughter and him to see another Doctor when he is out and can select his own care to get a second opinion. I have to agree with you.
