Bert Pool sent this amazing set of statistics that I view as
a great argument for trying out alternative therapies rather
than the orthodox.
Now, its just common sense to get a 'system status' for a
person before, during and after any given therapy. That
way, you have a reference.....one of my favorite
reductionist quotes is 'equal to or better than, never
less'.
So if your checkup shows you aren't getting any better after
being on a therapy for a couple of weeks (have to give your
body time to respond), then time to move to something
different.
I know when I try ANYTHING, food, medicine, whatever, that
relates to the body or a possible reaction, I'll try it,
then wait about 3 days and see if anything untoward
happens...if it does, then I don't do it again....cause and
effect...
In all fairness, it would be a great set of statistics to
compile how many people die AS A RESULT of alternative
therapies or treatments, not only by type but combined under
the heading of alternative.
Here are the statistics, apparently arguing for gun control
but ignoring that, look at the failure rate for doctors and
how the public seems to simply ignore this...will of god and
all that...;
Gun statistics
Some Startling Statistics...
Number of physicians in the U.S. 700,000
Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year 120,000
Accidental deaths per physician 0.171
Number of gun owners in the U.S. 80,000,000
Number of accidental gun deaths per year (all age groups)
1,500
Accidental deaths per gun owner 0.0000188
Therefore, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more
dangerous than gun owners.
