Is that not what the entire medical establishment is all about? How is it not?
I find it amusing that you accuse me of robotic programming; me, who seeks and thinks outside the box, and has traversed a long journey of healing which you know nothing about; while you defend the mainstream, which depends totally on robotic programming to survive. You seem to have your mind made up that alternative therapies are bogus and anyone pursuing them is brainwashed. (Please correct me if I'm misinterpreting you.)
I can only conclude that you've never actually gotten to know people who've been healed via alternative therapies, because if you had, you'd know that many of them have been seeking for a great many years, and have tried a great many things, and view each one as another piece of the puzzle, with emotional and spiritual components playing a very important role. The idea that such a one would trust a single source, as though authoritative like the mainstream medical system, is laughable.
Yes, it does happen, yes there are people who latch onto this or that and think a single remedy will fix them. But those people are still living in the allopathic mindset, and aren't the ones I'm referring to at all.
Please explain to me how you view the term treatment.
