Same here. % ... % Underneath the complex matrix of legal, social, economic and % governmental factors, there's one single thing that keeps this corrupt % medical status quo in place - public demand. In addition, now that "science" has gained a foothold and is both regulated and endorsed by the gubmint, it would be a loss of face to now start endorsing other methods. Fortunately, the medical community is beginning to accept the idea that one's spiritual and mental state is very much related to one's physical state. Hey, in only another thousand years, maybe they'll come all the way around :-) % % The reason why mainstream medicine enjoys its Microsoft-like market % dominance is the public demand for instant gratification - the desire ... % understanding of and responsibility for their health. People, on the % whole, are simply not willing to do that past a certain superficial % point. Exactly. The lure of something for nothing -- the cure or fix without any change or interruption -- is a strong pull, and society today seems geared toward that and instant gratification. % % The resistance to change in thinking/lifestyle starts to approach the % resistance to change of religion. For example, If there were thousands % of formally documented cases of people being cured of cancer by, say, % becoming Seventh Day Adventists, how many people would make the % switch, and how many would choose to die instead? How about Christian Science? :-) % ... % As for me, my wife and I routinely heal ourselves of any health % conditions which may emerge. We haven't been to doctors in over 8 % years, and sure don't anticipate ever going to them again. The drug % companies will never get even a cent from us again. We can't yet chalk up that length of record, but we're in exactly the same boat. As an added bonus, Christian Science treatment is covered under many health insurance plans. % % David :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) davidtg at justpickone.org * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) davidtgwork at justpickone.org http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg! -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
