MORE ON THE PROBLEM
In an anonymous survey questionnaire, which we share in our
naturopathic oncology coursework, something like 90% of oncologists
admit they wouldn't take chemotherapy or radiation, nor would they
approve it for their loved ones, —yet it's predominantly how we treat
cancer. And it's very profitable.
How can someone sworn to take an oath of 'do no harm,' practice
conventional oncology with a clear conscience? Is it possible? Is it
'just the way it is?' I know there are some exceptions to each situation,
but I'm speaking overall...
It's clear the system is corrupt, especially how we approach drug side
effects and withdrawal awareness. I have seen nurses give people in
mild states of pain morphine, which is patently unacceptable. We are
far too liberal with carelessly handing out opiates and SSRIs.
I've heard firsthand of groups of physicians try to put pressure on an
individual to do an emergency gallbladder removal surgery, as well
as other types of surgeries. Invasive procedures like surgery should
always be a last resort.
Why all the pressure? And what's the rush? It's a $10K surgery for the
hospital. It's unfortunate that med students are forced to spend so
much time learning illogical, rigid, dogmatic, militarized medicine.
Curriculum is mostly dictated by the American Medical Association
(AMA), which put holistic providers out of work, forcing the closure of
many homeopathic and putting naturopathic schools out of business
in the early turn of the century. The AMA is funded by guess who?
Big pharma. This is why so much of a medical student's time is spent
studying pharmaceuticals, contraindications, and drug interactions to
prescribe for symptom management. Fun stuff, right? This is not what
doctors were meant to do. This is a different kind of medicine. It is now
known as conventional, western medicine. And tragically, here's
nothing holistic about it.
