First, what is the operational definition of advancement? >>>new and more efficacious treatment modalities? Second, why is this perceived slowness a bad thing that needs fixing? >>> I don't understand- if more efficacious treatments are being improved and invented at a faster rate, isn't that always a good thing?

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 Tom, Every treatment is unique, point combos and herbs used, with every patient. Treatment is not as standardized as in WM. Does this count as innovation? Also, WM has billions and billions of dollars towards research, data collection, etc. We don't have these resources. What should we do?
