I'm not against high-tech medicine. It has a secure place in the diagnosis and treatment of serious disease.
By keeping my hand in that, it's the way I keep learning. The main way you learn in medicine is by practicing and working with patients.
I am not against all forms of high-tech medicine. Drugs and surgeries have a secure place in the treatment of serious health conditions. But modern American medicine treats almost every health condition as if it were an emergency.
I don't get money from the vitamins that I make. My after tax profits go to a foundation that supports integrative medicine.
Imagine a world in which medicine was oriented toward healing rather than disease, where doctors believed in the natural healing capacity of human beings and emphasized prevention above treatment. In such a world, doctors and patients would be partners working toward the same ends.
