Re: Folk healing surge concerns health care professionals

Yes, "they" are concerned, and it's showing on various fronts if one knows how to look.

Here is a real-life confirmation and example of just one the concerns of mainstream health. In this case, though, it applies more to what I'm calling conventional alternative medicine (an oxy moron?;) and less so to the type of "faith folk methods" evidenced in your post about Contreras.

I pulled the plug on the TV over 6 months ago, another thread/story unto itself but the short of it is that I finally decided to stop regularly inviting this ghastly influence into my mind and living room. Meantime, I've seriously cut down on radio listening for the same reasons. One of the few remaining vestiges of this life-long engrained addiction to social engineering is frequently tuning in and listening to the play-by-play of the local pro baseball team. Like all other pro sports, pro-baseball is heavily infested inside and out with media dollars, media dollars themselves beign provided from across the entire spectrum of "the establishment", which certainly include the likes of the healthcare system.

The eb and flow of a given game can vary from one inning or game to the next, one of the things I still enjoy about the game, but the example I'm providing was driven home one night several weeks ago during a game in which it was three up and three down on both sides for several innings, the implication beign that the between-innings advertising cycle was occuring quite frequently. If and when I'm sitting at the radio, I turn it off during each in-between innings cycle to avoid the various advertising/mind engineering ploys; this night, the radio was many feet behind me as I sat at the computer, being more engrossed in the internet than the game discouraged me from getting up off my butt every three outs to turn off the radio for 45 seconds, so I let it play while I surfed, hardly even noticing it outwardly, which is one of the more hideous means by which TV/Radio infests one's mind with it's below-the-surface content IE> while it's playing in the background beyond one's intended and conscious awareness of what it is playing. My outward attention was finally triggered by the repetitive nature of the same 3 or 4 commercials playing over and over. High Mark Blue Cross Blue Shield is one of the principal advertisers of the local team here. Their latest trend in advertising is a somewhat subtle knock on alternative medicne, but the average person is not likely to notice this. Since I have had no TV in months, I really don't know if they air similar or the same commercials on the TV, but since they are national, some of you may recognize the ads I'm talking about; ones that on the surface just seem to be poking some good-natured humor at people - relative idiots as implied by the content of the commercials, who prefer to dabble in their own health care diagnosis, remedies, and methods, while at the same time providing apparently obvious evidence - the pitfalls of self care, as to why one should trust and rely on on their faithful and diligent multi-billion dolloar healthcare company to tend to all of their health needs " a little Turpentine and corn syrup will clear that right up".
