An Open Challenge to Doctors Everywhere:

An Open Challenge to Doctors Everywhere:

I am daring doctors everywhere to drop their egos, focus on the health and well-being of their patients, suspend all judgment about what you think you know over what your patient knows, put aside your entire education (but keep it in your back pocket), and instead consider all the “quack” treatments, suggestions and supplements as well as the alternative information, including reports from people claiming to achieve results using a different modality than one you’re used to.

And last but not least…set aside every prescription drug you have at your disposal, and consider the supplements, herbs, food plans and technologies your patients are bringing you, as a possible new way of helping those who come to you.

Can you do it?

Or will you insist that:

Only you could possibly have the answers for your patient.

That you are the professional here, the one with the education.

That if it’s not in the medical books, it’s all bunk.

That alternative remedies of all kinds do not work.

That if double-blind studies are not done on a modality, it is quackery.

That only the FDA knows what is best for everyone.

That the alternative supplement that the patient believes helped them is merely a the PLACEBO effect, not a CAUSE and effect.

That a patient complaining of constant pain is really just nuts, because all the drugs that help the condition have been prescribed…so he/she MUST be nuts.

Antibiotics never hurt anyone, and there is no such thing as candida overgrowth.

Let’s see how big your egos REALLY are.
