I am a member of Doctors Without Borders…Medecins Sans Frontiers…Philosophically I have to embrace good medicine from all fields, Allopathic, Homeopathic, Naturopathic, Kampo, Native, & so on…I do not discriminate by genre, but by good or bad…There is good medicine in all cultures & there is bad too…All Alternative medicine is not all good- I mean to say, there are bad doctors in alternative as well…But also to say- a person can be both bad at something & good at something…Depending on the day…There are grey areas…It is hypocritical to use conventional doctors for treatment then advocate avoiding them completely if that was not your own path…Isn’t it? Hindsight may be 20/20, but unless someone has only used Alternative medicine themselves, it is hard to be hardline about advocating only that path to others…What have been the benefits from conventional medicine that you have taken? What are you thankful for from those doctors? I think a rational balanced approach is more sane than a black & white argument…Author Michael Crichton teaches in his books that seeing both sides of an argument helps to further the path of rational decisions…Extremism is a dangerous place to live- especially if it is not true to personal history…Getting sick is not necessarily the fault of the doctors…Blame needs to be readjusted a bit if appropriate…There are choices people made along the way…Long before doctors got involved…Functional medicine looks at cause…If what caused the illness is not the result of Iatrogenic effect then what is? If Iatrogenic effect, then why did you allow it to happen in the first place? Peer pressure? Cultural alienation? Job dissatisfaction? These flaws in familial, societal, & religious groups need to be addressed as well…Doctors are merely members of a microcosm of humans…There are other microcosms that need repair too…If we are to fully understand where blame should lie & where repairs need to begin or restitution need to be gotten from…(dangling participle it is 2:08 am here)…
