Don’t Let A Doctor (Or A Google Search) Limit Your Healing Potential

  The entire model of medicine is backwards and needs a major re-do.     The way the current medical model is set up is to test and report the outcome of a medication or surgery or intervention in the scientific literature, and to use these statistics as the standard of care.   I’m very familiar with the scientific method of research not only through keeping on top of the current scientific literature to as a licensed physician… but also because growing up as the daughter of one of the lead scientists at the National Institutes of Health I attended …
