The corruption of modern academic medicine — How your doctor was bought

"No ‘Health Tragedy’ occurred despite the hysterical hand-wringing of doctors. There were 2000 LESS deaths in 2013. For heart disease deaths, there were 1200 LESS deaths. Yes, you read that correctly. There were less deaths when people stopped their medication"

Hmmm! Thanks for posting. Lots to think about from there.

There is a lot to be respected for traditional medicine. Modern medicine has its place, but its not the last word on how to go about treatment.

It's always an important question to ask, how are they making money off of us? And is it really all in the patients best interest? Of course they should be paid though.

I was kind of a conspiracy theorist a decade or so ago, I didn't believe the world was set up all for my benefit and best interests or that we all cared for each other in society. For the most part, i still don't but my views have become a bit more positive these past few years. An article like this deserves more attention and research, I'm not immediatly convinced this is how it all works or that this is all a bad thing yet.
