Doctors are often blind to the powers we possess

"The fact is that our bodies are remarkably capable of looking after themselves. And yet few of us take advantage of these self-healing mechanisms and protective capabilities. Instead, we prefer to put our health and our lives into the hands of so called experts - practitioners who are often trained to look at our bodies and the diseases which afflict them with all the breadth of vision of a man looking through a microscope.

The great tragedy of orthodox medicine is that doctors have always been suspicious of anything new and often reluctant to listen to theories and ideas which contradict traditional attitudes."

by Dr. Vernon Coleman

Orthodox medical practice is big business

Doctors:
Until doctors are prepared to consider the unexpected, the unlikely and even the apparently impossible, patients will do well to regard rigidly orthodox interventionist with a certain amount of suspicion and cynicism.

Orthodox medical practice is big business.There are thousands of companies which have a vested interest in your ill-health. For every nurse and every doctor offering practical health and advise, there are countless administrators and clerks helping to ensure that the medical machine continues to whirr away profitably.

Business:
The fact that there is such a heavy business interest in the provision of health care means that commercial factors influence the type and quality of treatment that is provided. The relationship between doctors and drug companies illustrates this point vividly. So, for example, when a doctor wants to choose a drug for a particular patient he will make his decision after referring to advertising and promotional material supplied to him by the manufacturers of the available products.
