our medical system treats symptoms

[zenmaster]

I honestly believe Monica, that it's irresponsible to say that "Cancer, diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, etc. patients don't belong in hospitals." when it's effectively a crap shoot with holistic medicine, and the lack of ability for most people to understand their minds and bodies to the degree necessary to remedy illness.

It's a crap shoot either way.

But ok, I concede that when I made that statement, I was thinking about those who are willing to take responsibility for their health and do the necessary lifestyle changes. Not everyone is willing to do that, so you are right, for THEM it would be a crap shoot, just as for those who ARE willing to do that, the medical route would be a crap shoot.

But you miss my point. If they knew their disposition, they would know how to seek the treatment. It's not just a willingness to do something, there is desire, and a certain faith involved.
