Summary: Byron Howes method of getting the facts too much like spoon feeding. Anyone out there willing?  Sorry, Byron, it just ain't that easy!


Hey, Byron, I'm still waiting for the first reference supporting those
statements of "fact" you throw around so freely.

Ordinarily I would send this kind of response to Byron in his mail.
Since he has chosen to put his "stuff" on the net--O.K. by me.

I was an AMA type doctor for 10 years.  Ihave seen the system from the
inside and the outside.  I have not said, nor will I say, that any
individual physician is out to keep the patient ill.  Anyone who gets
that message is projecting.  The system is set up so that the sicker
the patient is the more money the doctor makes.  The only part of the
system set up the other way is HMOs.  I have worked in both systems.
In the HMO, the healthier the patient is the more money the doctor
makes.

The most succinct statement of the problem I have yet seen came across
my desk today.  It is a one page regular column in the "New Realities"
monthly Journal (October), by Norman Shealy, MD,(plus more other
degrees than you would imagine--chief neurosurgeon at the largest
hospital in Springfield, Missouri--AMA member & Founding President of
the American Holistic Medical Association).  Why not do yourself a
the American Holistic Medical Association).  You don't even have to
buy the journal.  Just stand at the newsstand and read it.  Then tell
me how much you disagree, or agree, with what is said.

The system must change.  The main beneficiary of this change is the
individual whose health is at stake.  Those who choose to transcend
the present system can do so with what is already known.  Those who
choose to wait longer are perfectly welcome to do so.  After all, what
would happen to the "disease" system if the total expenditures in the
field were cut by $600,000,000,000 within the next two years (which is
well within the realm of present knowledge)?  CHAOS!

People will get what they deserve.  I will accept what comes to me.
People deserve the right to choose their system.  My efforts, in my
life, my profession & here on the net are to do my best to place the
fact of the alternative on the table.  From that point it is up to
each individual.

The old paradigm is simplistic, comfortable (until one personally has
to rely on it--except for trauma and infections) & still accepted by
the majority [though shrinking] of "authorities".  Those who plase
their faith in "authorities" usually opt to let others do their
thinking for them in the mistaken belief that they can hire someone
else to take care of them.  The new paradigm REQUIRES that the
individual think for him or herself (a very uncomfortable state of
affairs until a certain level of basic information has been
assimilated).  There is too much to know for me to put it on the net.
Those unwilling to do some studying will just have to wait till the
truth is painfully obvious to most people. 

If Byron Howes chooses to be suspicious because there is too much data
to put on the net, so be it.
