I believe medicine is not truly taking into consideration the following crucially important aspects of a healthy human being.
Stress and how it adversely affects the immune system.
Insufficient exercise.
Excessive caloric intake.
Consumption of highly processed and denatured foods grown in denatured and chemically damaged soil.
Exposure to tens of thousands of environmental toxins.
Instead of minimizing these disease-causing factors, we actually cause more illness through medical technology, diagnostic testing, overuse of medical and surgical procedures, and overuse of pharmaceutical drugs. The huge disservice of this therapeutic strategy is the result of little effort or money being appropriated for preventing disease.
Modem medicine is in need of a complete and total reform: from the curriculum in medical schools to protecting patients from excessive and chronic medical intervention. It is quite obvious that we can't change anything if we are not honest about what needs to be changed. You must become fully aware that what stands in the way of change are powerful pharmaceutical companies, medical technology companies, and special interest groups with enormous vested interests in the business of medicine.
They fund medical research, support medical schools and hospitals, and advertise in medical journals. With deep pockets they entice scientists and academics to support their efforts. Such funding can sway the balance of opinion from professional caution to uncritical acceptance of a new therapy or drug. You only have to look at the number of invested people on hospital, medical, and government health advisory boards to see conflict of interest.
