Love listening to Dr. Ned @nedaamani -- all doctors and patients should see this video
Watch "The Health Care Centre of the Future, Today!" on YouTube
2/ If this was the norm for health care centres, we could be preventing /recovering from much of the 80% of chronic disease that is preventable. Healthcare would save so much money. It's why these need to be funded as real medicine, to use a phrase that a very smart friend uses.

1/n On RA and naturopathy:
I was diagnosed with RA by a rheumatologist. I checked all the boxes and was put on an Rx cocktail. For life.

Supervisor: OUR studies indicate they help some people. We can't be distracted by ANECDOTES. Marketing will handle the distractions.

I've had a few people suggest to me that we should try to get this targeted hit piece retracted. It is very misrepresentative of CAM practitioners as well as patients that utilize CAM. How do we stop this targeted behavior? Letters to the editor a good start.
