The problem with doctors is that they do not have faith to try something different. We are finding out that pharmaceutical companies lie about their products, why else wold we have a rash of attorneys asking did you take this or that, we can get you lots of money. Doctors and hospitals will refuse to treat a patient (my mother) if they find out they are on alternative therapy and meds. My mother would have been removed from the hospital and she and I would have been arrested for practicing without a license. Yet, when they did a biopsy on her lungs and kidneys they were amazed that she healed so quickly, had no bedsores after a month in bed. They could not understand it but our primary did. We had told him what vitamins she was taking and the exercises she did while lying there. They are so brainwashed by big pharmacy and promised a set of gold plated golf clubs, etc.
