my biggest issue with trusting modern medicine is i've worked in health care since i was a teenager and it is not the caring compassionate life saving experience it should be... it is a business, quite cutthroat, and an industry... medical science is mostly about manufacturing and selling product from drugs to equipment to machines... that is not to say there is no value in the drugs or equipment or machines, but i know first hand, second hand, and in too many ways that the priority is the budget, like most aspects of our world from religion to breakfast cereal, it's all about the money... increasing revenue... it is done by minimizing insurance risks, reducing time spent with each patient, and selling product... we are heading for online computerize diagnoses and treatment, warehousing the old, and assembly line medicine... there is no profit in cures, the profit is in continued treatment which is why the system is design to treat symptoms and not cure diseases... take this pill you'll feel better and better yet, you'll be back again real soon cuz you're gonna need more of those pills... and more treatments... forever until you die... we'll charge you after that too... have i started ranting yet?... (see Dr. Robert Kehoe, General Motors, lead (the metal), and gasoline... and let's not even get started on cigarettes, alcohol, and you name it... trust industry?... not even close)...
