ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES
November 28, 1997, CNN broadcast a half-hour news release on the merits of alternative therapies.
The definition of ALTERNATIVE is “Instead of” which advocates a substitute for present acceptable methods of treatment.
The definitive conclusion was that the promotion of these alternatives was MEDICAL FRAUD and patients were warned that the news releases and other methods used to influence patients to add to or substitute for proven treatment were invalid.
In nearly all cases the same results were attained when NOT using the alternative medications and equipment.
It is true that there are self-interested individuals, groups and organizations that will influence the legislative approval because it restricts their income and highlights their lack of knowledge.
A good example of the incapability of the medical progression was displayed when they fought for the approval and acceptance of cryosurgery as a viable treatment for PC.
Of the hundreds of units currently in use and the dismal failures at many centers offering the treatment, it is neither the treatment nor the equipment that is at fault. When one such center has treated over 600 patients with a 90+ percentage of success there must be a reason for such malpractice.
Once again, we reiterate; it is the patient’s right to choose their physician, method of treatment, and be responsible for the eventual outcome! |
