Excerpts:

What's the deal with all the different systems of medicine? And what's the
difference between "Western medicine" and "conventional medicine?" Here,
you'll find some honest answers.
"Conventional medicine" refers to the classic medical training offered
through mainstream medical schools. This is a drugs-and-surgery approach to
medicine that largely excludes nutrition, wellness, mind-body medicine,
patient education, and other natural therapies.

"Organized medicine" refers to the collection of organizations that promote
conventional medicine. This encompasses pharmaceutical companies, the FDA,
hospitals, doctors, medical schools, and medical organizations such as the
American Medical Association as well as disease organizations like the
American Cancer Society and the American Diabetes Association. It's called
organized medicine because it is an organized system of profit-minded
players who engage in the marketing, screening, diagnosis and treatment of
diseases, all under the watchful eye of the FDA, using tactics that resemble
organized crime.

"Advanced medicine" refers to the future of medicine, based on supporting
the patient's health and wellness rather than attacking the patient with
various chemicals or procedures like radiation and surgery. Advanced
medicine is the first step to the new age of understanding about the true
underlying causes of health and wellness. Advanced medicine makes
conventional medicine and Western medicine obsolete, and it includes
therapies like phototherapy, sunlight, nutrition, sound therapy, vibrational
medicine, electromedicine, mind-body medicine, energy healing, and other
similar modalities that were once considered experimental, but are now
well-known to be both safe and effective at supporting the health of the
patient.

Not correct. Many evidence based medicine doctors do provide serious
nutrition counsellings. My internist does.

"Organized medicine" refers to the collection of organizations that promote
conventional medicine. This encompasses pharmaceutical companies, the FDA,
hospitals, doctors, medical schools, and medical organizations such as the
American Medical Association as well as disease organizations like the
American Cancer Society and the American Diabetes Association. It's called

I ran that paragraph though my bull****ometer and this is what happened
to Mike's claim of being an objective journalist:

Anyone who can claim that Mike Adams is objective needs a check-up from
the neck up.

Wow! My doctors must have been away the day they didn't learn about
nutrition and patient education.

I must read on. Will more bull**** follow?

And there is more! Who would have thought that "Advanced medicine"
would almost exclusively consist of ancient crap that has been proved
ineffective many times over not just years but decades and even
centuries? Who would think that the "future of medicine" is identical
to "the history of medicine"?

I don't see "taking the waters" and "adjusting the humours" in the
list. Oversights, I'm sure.

Anecdotes are Bull****. Mark Probert

That is not what I said in my comments regarding this opinion piece. You
snipped them without mentioning them. Here is what I said:

Not correct. Many evidence based medicine doctors do provide serious
nutrition counsellings. My internist does.

Anecdotes are bull**** when someone is trying to prove a scientific
point. However, when the discussion is of social issues, as is the case
here, anecdotes are completely valid.
