The diseases where you have lots of "options" are the diseases that do not yet have very effective treatments and one treatment is just as good as the other.
For the really bad diseases, your M.D. won't even argue with you if you tell him you want to go to Mexico to have coffee enema treatments. It won't matter in the end. Whatever floats your boat is the "right" thing to do.
With other diseases, certain therapies are so successful that denying such therapy would be tantamount to murder if you deny that treatment to others.
If you want to treat your own appendicitis with acupuncture, you are perfectly free to do so. The Government has no qualms about allowing an adult to earn a Darwin Award.
However, if you intend to treat your child's appendicitis with acupuncture, the Government will step in and not allow you to murder your child.
Coffee enema is the treatment of choice for so terribly many things.
My worry here is that the government steps into medical care constantly to kill people--I mean, let them die in a euphoric manner. I have a real fear about letting the government decide anything about medicine.
Having said that--I am relieved that the child is being treated. That doesn't mean we shouldn't be trying to control what the govt. controls about us.
