What you fail to realize is corporate consensis and the penalties for not following these guideleines! The AMA was created to discredit any medical or health orientated protocal that does not follow the pharmaceutical/estlished medical regime!
Read about it, its part of history. research the illustrious rockefeller family and its part in destroying many sound alternative health forms and used thier money and prestiege to promote his vested interest in the petro chemical and pharmaceutical industry!

Sure Science and alternative modalities can work together, they do it all the time ,but without corporate sponcership. So unless you research it your self you wont find it in the bought and paid for media, TV or the printed news!

There is a code in the medical profession and actual bylaws that disallows AMA mds from supporting or prescribing alternatives that dont fit thier guidelines!

The fda is just a promotional tool for the pharmaceutical industry and allows harmful and dangerous drugs to be placed on the market by excepting studies done and redone by the pharm companies themselves! Look at Vioxx ,how many deaths have been caused by this hidious drug?

Have you ever been to a hospital cafeteria? Its a complete joke, but its the recommended diet of the American Dietitions Association the diet that MDs are versed in!

I 'd say get away from the TV and other propaganda tools in print and do your own research, you wont believe how uninformed you really are!

Problem is the medical community doesn't know HOW to advise people to make these changes! Most have had no training in nutrition and rely on the government-endorced food pyramid which is not an ideal diet. Most MD's are not well-versed in appropriate exercise protocols...and as a psychologist, I can tell you that they know diddly squat about proper stress management and routinely pass out prescriptions for valium, xanax, etc. to slap a bandaid on stress!!! Then again, most allopathic physicians will have you in and out of their office in 15-20 minutes, do not take a detailed life-style inventory, and have no time to educate patients in these areas!!!

The word Doctor in translation means Teacher.
Their is no teaching on a broader scale as to how to live to avoid degenerative diseases by your average Allopathic Doctor of medicine, and the first contact with these Doctors is when you have already succumbed to a chronic disease where they then prescribe pharmaceuticals as a first line of treatment.
Not very clever really is it.

She is trained in Homeopathic medicine right ! How many MDs have that training and how much of the information she has learned in medical school is disgarded~
Maybe in some remote places in the country you can find these types of doctors but they are very rare~!
