I have always thought this to be so odd. People are so paranoid and

untrusting now they wont walk down the street alone at night, lock their

windows and cars, ( the first 2 for good reason ), wouldnt trust their

brother or sistere with an ATM number, wouldnt trust some of their friends

for many thing, dont trust babysitters with their children, etc.....but

without a second thought or opinion they will do anything a stranger in a lab

coat tells them to do.....gambling with one of the biggest things of all,

their health....and when that goes, so does the money you're spending trying

to " fix " it, your career youve worked so hard for because your'e sick....I

for one am NOT so trusting of Drs!

Unfortunately, there is also an ethics problem with many alternative

doctors. Simply being " alternative, " is no assurance they're more honest.

But in the long run, orthodox practitioners are more likely to use

procedures and drugs that can more often harm you, and harm you more

seriously, than will the alternative doctors.
