Soraya Coodey: Mainstream medicine treats the symptoms only - there is no money/profit to be made in creating long term health solutions for patients.EDIT: The following links take you to revealing videos that are very interesting indeed. They reveal the truth about the pharmaceutical industry and symptoms management:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AazObF_pHSU
Misty Vagle: No. Your question is based on a false premise. I think I'll skip the book.
Blythe Noreiga: The arrogance of that statement is so overwhelming....What is the cause of astrocytoma? Isn't a single ND I know that would be able to test for it, let alone...pfft, anything else. How about something much simpler, how would Alt Med treat the need for Kidney dialysis? Hmm? Go back in time to change decades of behavior? What would alt med have to say about 'the cause' of Marfans Syndrome? Hmm? Used to be thought to be caused by genes, but now they know 30% of people don't have the mutation they thought! caused it. It's a connective tissue disorder - 90% of the body is made of some type of connective tissue - How would they prevent the aortic rupture that claims lives among people with that? Hmm?80% of seizures are idiopathic (we don't have a clue what causes them) - what does Alt Med have that would treat the cause or even just the symptoms? Because I know a couple people who would love to be able to drive a car again...I could go on all day, I really could.......Show more
Pamela Meno: No.Thats false. 1. There is no evidence that the vast majority of sCAM treats the symptoms OR the cause of disease. 2. It's a complete myth that conventional medicine does not cure disease. You're forgetting about antibiotics and you're also forgetting about vaccines, that actually prevent diseases and have saved the lives of untold millions.The idea that "Big Pharma" withholds cures, simply isn't plausible. We've gone through this with you before, ad nauseam.Try reading this:http:/! /www.amazon.com/Snake-Oil-Science-Complement......Show more
Caryl Mclaen: a little of medicine is corrective, often incidentally. the great majority is bungling attempts to cover up symptoms, usually while causing more problems. much in the alternative field is also non-corrective, though it is generally far better for the patient than conventional medicine, and also usually not harmful. (tink, better not give me a thumbs up again, you let me know my answer needs clarification).
Jamika Gregorio: No, I do not believe it because it is simply untrue.
Bud Espenshade: How would alternative medicine resolve a Staph infection?The cause is clear, the presence of Staphylococcus aureus where they shouldn't be, probably due to open skin being infected.Mainstream medicine will kill the Staph with antibiotics. This removes the cause.Edit: You are aware that is because modern medicine adapts to new evidence while alternative medicine simply stays wrong?...Show more
Ewa Homrich: What's so bad about the skeptics here is that ! they learn at the very beginning of their education that what ever the 4 journals of medicine says is written in stone and disregard everything else as poo poo. What they don't understand is the only thing consistant with their teachings is that it's constantly being changed or been proven not to be the case over and over again, While alternative meds stay the course. You can run from the facts all you want. But one day mainstream meds will be forced to adhere to alternative because of public out cry. I do agree on one thing...Mainstream meds do have there place in society, but only in 1/16th of the cases if they are too far gone....Show more
Adrian Paraz: No, where there is profit, there is no incentive to be compassionate. Drug companies do not want us well or to even think we have a chance of getting well without their pills and prescriptions which are destined to keep us sick. Glad you are on the right track!
