Eh? Most docs would tell you to eat less junk and exercise to lose weight, not prescribe a pill. That was pfoggey's example, not mine. All *I* said was that doctors typically write prescriptions and do not concern themselves with non-prescription supplements. If you would read who said what, you would understand. So what? Most doctors do not share your nonsense delusion that "natural medicine" is a useful general healthcare system. What is a "general healthcare system?" This sloppy **** of yours is very typical of average Pharma Bloggers, but I've come to expect more from you. If you mean crisis care, I have already stated that mainstream medicine excels in the arena of emergency treatment. And even there (as YOU yourself pointed out), nutritional medicine is often used for the benefits of patients, but now you want to double back on that acknowledgement and suggest that natural medicine (nutrients, primarily) are useless? Is the use of magnesium in heart attack patients, n-acetyl cystein for those with acetomenophen poisoining, or iron prescribed for anemic patients, happening without doctors knowledge? Nobody is talking about the overthrow of the ER, what I'm talking about is expanding the use of nutrients beyond what is already happening. I still want to see people getting their stomachs pumped, wounds sutured, bullets removed, shock stabilized, and blood flow arrested. I mean, what's life without a little fun? Yes, and I want to see you get a root canal with natural supplements. A little fun. What's fun is ignoring anyone who says you need a root canal. But if you just have to have one, a regular painkiller to address temporary discomfort is certaintly appropriate. The problem with modern medicine is not that it doesn't control symptoms (as opposed to healing), the problem is that it ends up controlling patients (ie., long-term drug dependency.)

True, but many docs do it on their own time.

It seems a little like when Elmer Fudd and Daffy Duck argue until Elmer
gets confused and starts saying "Yes I am" instead of "No I'm not." --Patti See: Hypnosis Induction, undue influence. |
