How Did the Medical System Lose Its Credibility and the Public’s Confidence?

The Epoch Times Header

Americans are growing more skeptical of major institutions. Is this good or bad? Volatile or stultifying? Destructive or creative?

Gallup’s recent poll on the public’s confidence in major institutions saw the most significant decline in confidence over the last two years in the presidency and the medical system.

Only one-third of Americans now have a “great deal/fair amount of confidence” in the medical system and only one-quarter in the presidency. Yet the medical system is what all hospital-born Americans—or 98.4 percent of us—are thrust into at birth, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). From delivery by gloved hands, under the white coats backlit by fluorescent tubes, and jabbed the same day for a sexually transmitted disease, hepatitis B, and an insanely large dose of synthetic vitamin K, with aluminum poisoning in both of those shots, it’s a backhanded greeting of: Welcome to the world, baby!

From there, infants are brought to a visit every two months for more shots (or vilification of nonvaccinating parents as negligent) as an introduction to a system that has ties to you through your Medicare years, wherein there are stiff penalties against your social security payments if you choose not to sign up. (Medicare does not cover naturopathic or alternative medical treatment, even when practiced by a functional medical doctor, let alone a naturopathic physician.) Ready for hospice? Don’t worry, because the drugs that take us out will be pharmaceuticals, too: midazolam and morphine.

So unless you commit acts of rebellion here and there, you are born, hanging around for decades, and then retire and die in the conventional medical system.

Indeed, you and I may have other plans for how we choose to live, rather than a passive slide along Pharma’s conveyor belt.

And I think we have lots of company.

Now that a whopping 66 percent of us are not expressing confidence in the medical system that is provided and urged on us, we are starting to see quite a large and growing gap between the health interventions Americans seem to be choosing versus those we are expected and guided to take.

Compare the 34 percent of Americans having confidence in the medical system on the one hand with 79 percent of Americans seeing the dietary supplement industry as trustworthy, on the other hand.

That latter survey also found that 80 percent choose to take nutritional supplements, which, by the way, are unreimbursed by the badly misnamed “health insurance” industry.
