jerri, you have to understand that andysandmikesmom is a part of that failed system that we are in the process of replacing with one that works. She takes it personal when the failures are pointed out. It's ok though; there are signs that the majority of the medical profession is coming aboard, it just takes time and education.
The person who posted to you saying that andyandmikesmom is "part of that failed system" is someone who believes Western medicine is unable to cure anything.
There are plenty of Christians on this site who are not anti-medicine and anti-science. Don't get roped in with those few people who believe doctors can't cure disease and surgery is sinful.
Yeah, right...you are the one who advocates that people not use modern medicine nor take advantage of modern medical technology...I have no problem with that...if that is how your chose to lead your life, that really is just fine with me...everyone has their right to chose whatever medical course they wish...
If Jerri wants to follow your example, and not use any modern medicine, or modern medical technologies, fine...however, if she wishes to use modern medicine and modern medical technologies, thats fine as well...its her/his choice...
And there are no signs that the medical profession is coming aboard, coming around to your way of thinking concerning medicine...alternative medicine has been around for ever, and tho it may be gaining a little more popularity, the truth of the matter is, whenever a medical professional advocates using alternative medical treatment, they never advocate using that alternative medical treatment as a substitute for modern medicine...taking vitamins, and supplements and eating well, are ideas that have been around forever...nothing new about that...
So, let everyone decide which venue of 'medical' opportunities each wants to use...they can avail themselves of modern medicine and modern medical technology, which even most, I suspect, on FR, would advocate, or they can put their hands over their eyes, and pretend that modern medicine and modern medical technology, have no place in their lives, and just follow your methods...
I suspect, that very few, either on FR, or in the real world, would follow your method...
So according to you, I belong to a failed system, which advocates using modern medicine and modern medical technology...and you belong to a system, where no modern medicines, and no modern medical technologies are used, and yet you call that system one that works...
Yeah, right...of course, you have it completely backwards, but then, its your choice...as we all can make our own choices, I think I will stay with modern medicine, and modern medical technology...that is the system that works, and that is the system that most folks chose..you chose differently...
