My Moral Obligation

When it comes to medical emergencies, modern western medicine is magnificent. For the treatment of trauma and when extreme, life-saving interventions are called for, conventional medicinešs heroically complex surgical techniques and arsenal of pharmaceutical drugs are without parallel.

But when it comes to the prevention of illness, however, and the treatment of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and the epidemic of degenerative diseases that presently afflict our society, modern western medicine has proven catastrophically inadequate.

Being in health care I'm naturally interested in health care news. If you just look at the "headlines," you will for the most part see miracle after miracle and it gives you the impression that everything is under control in the world of health care. But as I started digging a bit deeper I found what was once yesterday's miracle headliner was today's broken dream buried 3-4 layers deep and hardly mentioned at all. It bothered me more when I started researching the actual medical journals myself. I found a much different story than was being told to the general public.

I have a moral obligation, not just as a doctor but more importantly, as a human being. It's important for me to share this information with you, because it allows me to find the truth and start showing people the reality of our health care situation on this planet. So you in turn can start making better choices for your families and yourselves.
