Trusting Doctors to help you

The great majority of Doctors in the

medical profession are people of kindness, integrity, dedication, &

skill. But we must remember that they are products of & under the

strong daily influence of a flawed system which is very subject to

the overriding influence of powerful corporations with deep political

influence. These have a proven record of not allowing sentimentality

or the best interests of patients, including even young children, to

get in the way of maintaining a deep revenue stream. (Google:

pharmaceutical fraud)

That is one of several important reasons why

the final decision for any therapy must remain in the hands of the

patient who exercises " informed consent. " This is also a

good reason why the people need strong regulatory agencies to protect

the people's interests. This would include everything from the Forestry service

to the Centers for Disease Control. Unfortunately, these agencies have come

under

the direct influence of the industries they were created to oversee

through large political contributions & lucrative job offers (read bribery).

In the USA,

our national health system is said to be, " one sixth of the

economy. " Also, that it is the most expensive in the world while

delivering about the 33rd best care & outcomes. If these 3 facts

are true, & there's no good reason to doubt it, then what

conclusion can we deduce? That there is a tremendous amount of money

flowing towards procedures, therapies, medicines, men, &

corporations in return for something much less than the best

care possible or apparently even the 10th best care possible.

The money

must be going somewhere, so another way to describe this situation is

with the words: waste, incompetence, mistakes, misrepresentation,

overcharging, corruption, & very likely deliberate fraud.

 

There is no valid

reason to assume that large corporations dealing with health have any

greater human concern & higher level of ethics than Enron, Exxon,

or those wonderful companies who run the big Banks that carefully designed for

us this

current financial disaster & huge transfer of wealth. (Unfortunately, most

Americans are not " too big to fail " because many are doing just that.)

 

Corporations are legally required to

consider only the bottom line of profits or risk being sued by their

stockholders. Like Frankenstein, they are Man made, powerful, &

without conscience.

Under these circumstances, informed consent

becomes the highest priority. So if you have a serious heath problem

of any kind & you have not independently & thoroughly

researched it, then you have left yourself in a very vulnerable

position. It is like taking your car to a mechanic & saying, "

I have no idea what's wrong with it, just fix it & send me the

bill, whatever it may be. And if I don't have the money, don't worry. My

insurance or the government will pay for it. " You're very likely to wind up with

a lot

of new parts whether you need them or not. And some might not be so

new.

Educating yourself is the key to informed consent. But

remember, the Blind Spot of medicine is natural therapy. Doctors have

been thoroughly trained & conditioned to disregard & dismiss

all natural therapy. Besides, there's not much money in it. (There could be a

link there.) Before

about 1870 & the birth of " Better living through Chemistry, "

all medicines were natural. Now we have alien drugs, foods, & molecules that

have never

appeared before on the planet being introduced into our bodies which were not

designed by nature (or God, if you prefer) to deal with them.

I strongly encourage you all to persuade others you know to to

several natural health newsletters such as this one & Dr Mercola's. He has a

fascinating interview with the much maligned Dr

Wakefield in the latest issue.

He finally gets to defend himself. http://articles.mercola.com/sites/artic

Also see the wonderful Natural News interview

of Jesse Ventura who reveals good reasons to be skeptical of all government.

Be aware that everybody including most such newsletters while informative,

are also usually trying to sell you something. Dr Mercola in particular seems to

conveniently have a product for every health issue he writes about, but the

information is good. I myself am also promoting a book, but you didn't hear that

from me.

 

To

conclude, trust your Doctor & others to a point, but be aware of their

limitations, influences, agenda, & blind spots. Don't expect others to lead you

by the hand through the decision process. Do your own research. Take

responsibility

for your own life & health & then you'll live longer & will enjoy greater

health.
