No blindness is worse than blind faith in mainstream medicine

Doctors are taught little or nothing about the vital role of proper diet and nutrition, very little about lifestyle and physical activities and what they are taught, if anything, about herbs and other natural healing is that it is either ineffective or dangerous.

To be sure, mainstream doctors are where I would head in the instance of severe physical trauma (say, a bad car wreck) and for other emergency care.  Putting things back together is what they do best and it fits within their paradigm of treating symptoms and treating the body as a collection of parts instead of treating the whole body.

My late father serves as an example of the good and dark sides of mainstream medicine.  He was in a very serious car accident and, after a series of operations, they pretty much put him back together.  However, due to pneumonia and MRSA that he contracted in the hospital and the horrible nutrition he received, he never made it out of the hospital alive. Ultimately, undernourished and his immune system shot, he even contracted cancer.  Thanks to a healthy diet and exercise (he worked out at the gym several times a week), he lasted for almost two years before finally wasting away.

Is there bad information and advice on CureZone? Certainly. But there is also some wonderful information, some very caring and selfless people and some very worthy forums.  In the end, it should be incumbent on everyone with health issues to do their own research and not blindly take the word of anyone as being gospel - and that certainly includes mainstream doctors as well as members of CureZone.
