HERE, HERE!!! Well stated Bob. The doctors/pharmaceutical companies (is there a difference?) just about killed my wife last year, sending her into liver failure.
What was their recommended solution to the problem? Check into the hospital and we'll treat symptom A, but the side affect of the treatment is it will overtax your liver. WTH? Nothing doing!!! Luckily some friends directed us to some doctors (accredited and such) practicing alternative medicine. My wife now drives about 400 miles RT one day every week for treatment and is on a gradual upwards trend, (taken a year so far - at our own expense) without the debilitating, immune system suppressing chemo drugs that mainstream medicine recommends. She was diagnosed with RA (if we're totally sure about that is another matter). However, she is no worse, and slightly better with the RA now. Much of what the alternative medicine doctors tell her is documented in medical journals. When she does see the mainstream medical doctor who is an RA specialist (because insurance pays for blood tests), she asks about alternative treatements, etc., even hinting at some. Nope, no other treatment except the mainstream view. He is however puzzled about why she can be totally off the pharamaceuticals and her blood tests look no worse, and actually better than before. Guess what? Inependent research has shown that all the mainstream, immune system suppressiing drugs will eventually stop working or cause a person to reach the state my wife did. It's just a matter of time. So I have just one thing to say to mainstream modern medicine. UFF DAH! If a medical practicioner is not open to all possibilties and treatments, and does not recognize that a multitude of patients respond differently to varying therapies, then they're not worth the white lab coat they're wearing.
