Medical Facts or Opinions?

Ever notice medical science is always presenting things as fact? In reality, what they are presenting is only an opinion, based on the current information they have at the time. And the medical industry presents itself as the ONLY source of truth concerning health, disease and illness. What they are really presenting are theories, and these "theories" constantly change. For instance, here are some examples of "medical facts" that have proven to be wrong:

1. Bloodletting was once proven to cure most illnesses. Now it is considered totally ineffective.

2. Margarine was considered much healthier than butter. Now research suggests the exact opposite is true.

3. Eggs were considered very bad because of high cholesterol. Now reserach suggests they are not bad for the body, but actually healthy for you.

4. Choclate and oily foods were touted to be a cause of acne. Now research suggests they do not contribute in any way to acne.

5. Medical doctors touted that baby formula was much better than breast milk for children. Now the exact opposite is known to be true.

6. Medical science once had scientific evidemce that the removing of tonsils and appendix improved health and should be done to virtually everyone. Now the medical community has reversed that theory.

So what does this prove? That M.D. does not stand for "Medical Deity". Sadly, many consumers look at doctors as gods. Whatever they say is taken as absolutely true. No one else has any credibility on health, illness or disease. But sadly, medical doctors are trained to only do 2 things--prescribe drugs or perform surgery.

So the moral of my little story? There are virtually no medical facts. There are only medical opinions. And you need to choose the opinion that makes the best sense for you. . .
