What Is Wrong With Western Medicine?

The good news is that it responds well in an acute setting!

If you have a heart attack, got hit by a car or had a stroke, Western Medicine is there for the treatment.  When you start looking at other healing traditions, prevention is the first step and treatment is the last step!

A perfect example is the woman who's daughter was in the advanced stages of brain cancer and she asked her oncologist if it would be OK to give her daughter a super food called blue green algae.  The doctor said it would be fine and a number of his patients had used that supplement with success in fighting cancer.

She naturally wondered why he didn't tell her about this product a year before, when she first brought her daughter in to see him.

You see, the doctor really had no choice.  He couldn't tell her about this or any "natural or alternative health therapies"  and still keep his job at the hospital.  Insurance regulations would preclude such suggestions and of course he could get into administrative trouble by recommending natural, non- FDA approved drug treatments for cancer.

The way conventional medicine works, is that treatment is first and prevention is second!  We think things are starting to turn around since a recent 2007 survey by the National Health Interview Survey, almost 40% of adults use some form of complementary and alternative medicne to treat a variety of conditions.
