"lets ask everyone if when they or a member of their family become ill, do they actually go to a medical doctor, actually get a prescription for medical drugs and actually trust that modern medicine will do its job, and retore a person to health?"

You may be onto something here, but let's just ask "Do the drugs that your doctor gives you cure your illness, or do you have to keep going back to get a useless prescription refilled time after time after time?"

And let's ask "Has anyone in your family gone to the doctor for an extended period of time and then ended up dying prematurely anyway?"

And let's ask "Do you care? If there is a better way, 'a more excellant way,' a way that doesn't shorten your life and leave you with debilitating side effects, would you prefer that way?"

"...or do they reject modern medical doctors and modern medical drugs in favor of your method(whatever that is)?..."

Sorry to disappoint you, but my way is eat real food, all the foods that the Lord intended for us to eat, and don't get sick in the first place. - And guess what? It works. If you don't eat pasta, bleached white bread, gobs of mashed potatoes, white rice, candy, and sodas, diet or regular, and don't cook your food in omega 6 oils, you won't waste your money on doctor bills, and you won't waste your time in bed.

Editor-surveyor, don't mistake my point. A good diet and proper excercise are good things, I agree. No one says doctors are perfect, but modern medicine treats the wounded and cures illnesses. Modern medicine is a good thing.

I personally dont know of anyone in my family who went to the doctor with an illness, received a prescription, and then had to go back time and time again...when my older boy got tonsillitis and had his throat cultured, and it came back a Strep infection, he received a Penicillin shot, and Penicillin meds...and within just a few days, he was much better, he finished the regimen of meds, and was fine...with that type of strep, without antibiotics, one runs the high risk of the bacteria going further into the body, and risks Rheumatic fever...my own cousin had this very thing happen to him, because his mom did not take him to the doctor for a strep infection...he wound up with a damaged heart...a result of not treating a dangerous strep infection...

No, I also dont know of anyone who went to a doctor for treatment and wound up dying prematurely...I am sure it probably does happen at one time or another, but I am willing to bet, its not the general course for most people who go to the doctor...

I dont consider ignoring modern medicine and modern medical technology, to be a more excellent way...not at all...I would never risk my childs health, and his life, by ignoring modern medicine and modern medical technology...

Now, that being said, there is nothing wrong with eating correctly, and taking vitamins and supplements as necessary...but those things are just not in any fashion, the ways to cure diseases, should one get a particualar disease...

I myself am remarkably healthy...Its probably been decades since I have had to see a doctor for any medical problem...I do see my GP once a year, and have a thorough battery of tests done once a year...but thats it...however, should I become sick, I would immediately see my doctor..

My younger son, as a small child, had the usual sniffles, and colds, and such, but other than having a small hernia, he has never had a thing wrong with him...he has never even had a single cavity...and hes 32....almost never sick, never had a cavity...but I know, should he ever get sick, he would go immediately to a doctor...

Good food, vitamins, supplements, and good modern medical meds, along with good modern medical technology is how I see the best way to insure good health...

I just dont see the majority of Freepers, deciding when their child is very ill, to keep that child away from the doctors...most people in the USA and most Freepers, I am willing to bet, use modern medicine and modern medical technology...

Do you know of a cure for hypothyroidism?
