Although, there are instances in which it may be true that “diseases you’re attempting to alleviate are actually caused by the therapies you prescribe,” this seems an overly broad condemnation, and as such does your argument a disservice. The issue is the subservience of the medical system to corporate profits, rather than healthy outcomes.

One can look at any number of diseases, injuries, and infections, that are not caused by treatments, such as malaria, tuberculosis, asthma, appendicitis, broken limbs, burn injuries, and sepsis during childbirth. There are many others. It undermines positions to make overreaching statements that are clearly unsupported.

Well said, Joy!

Last year my daughter broke her fibula and tibia simultaneously. Where would she have been without doctors?
