I don't agree entirely. Modern medicine has gone backwards in some ways
in
the last 100 years.
The concept of blood acidity / acidosis, homeopathy, and nutritional
cures
used to be common knowledge but are now suppressed.

The acid-base balance of the body and its regualtion is well understood
and
it reveals the "alkalise for health" idea to be nonsense. Not only that,
it
is unsupported by any evidence that it does anything beyond the limited
ability of placebo to make people feel better.

No, a lot of the food we eat leaves an acid residue in the body that gets
stored around the body, in the tissues, joints and anywhere else. This is
one of the lies of conventional medicine, that people don't accumulate too
much acid.
Indeed knotted muscles and desire for back massage are indications of acid
buildup in the tissues.


Homeopathy is based upon absurd principles and it actually has been
extensively studied in both the laboratory and in clinical studies. In
over
two hundred years there is not a single consistent observation showing
that
any if its ideas are correct. Some people include herbalism in
homeopathy
which is incorrect. Herbs have some credibility as the foundation for
pharmacology.

If you think that homeopathy doesn't work you are deluded -- just the way
conventional medicine intends.
I've told you before that you can test for yourself that homeopathic silica
gets rid of underarm odour, but you won't do this simple test because you
don't really want to know.


Nutrition is obviously important in the prevention of disease and everyone
knows what goes into a good diet. There have been numerous "nutritional
cures" claimed but it is difficult to think of any where the evidence is
conclusive. Some have been farily definitely disproved such as the
orthomolecular treatment of cancer, and nutritional measures in general in
the treatment of cancer.

Vitamin C for scurvy and B for beri beri are a couple of glaring examples.
Then there is magnesium for healthy heart, calcium for strong bones, and
plenty of others. You just haven't got a clue.


Finally, in what way are these notions suppressed? There are numerous
books written about them and you will find these ideas all over the
Internet. This despite the fact that they are contrary to knwon facts.


Yes, despite the accumulation of knowledge about nutritional cures,
conventional medicine just carries on as usual with its slash cut and burn
techniques developed in the 1920s and the only change has been "new and
improved" chemo drugs.


But its the same with many other inventions that would have helped the
world -- Tesla's free energy was suppressed by Morgan who said he
couldn't
make any money out of it. We're living in a world where these big
corporations and certain greedy people put making money above
everything.

Yes, there's some of that. But why is it that this element to the
mainstream enables you to dismiss everything a basically honest doctor
like
me says,

You consider yourself honest, that's good.
I just don't think you understand that there is a lot of deception at the
top of the foodchain where the decisions are made.


while you can at the same time ignore all the fraud, delusion, and
sheer ignorance governing alternative medicine? .

I don't ignore any fraud and delusion in alternative medicine -- there is
fraud and delusion everywhere in every field.
However, conventional medicine sets itself up as the impeccable standard
where it claims to be working for safety and care of consumers. When all the
time this is a deception, the pharmaceutical companies are working for
money.

You seem prepared to
believe anything, so long as it is "alternative", which means that
scientists, governments, doctors and health insurers, reject it..

I don't believe everything alternative treatment -- mainly nutritional
remedies and homeopathy.
Scientists are only allowed to do research along certain lines or they get
ostricised, barred and black-listed, governments are as good as the people
who advise them, and doctors as good as what they get taught at medical
school.

There are many ways to throw a spanner into research -- you can put certain
experts who hold certain views in charge of boards and committees, you can
create policy using tricky legal wording, you can work out what criteria
constitutes success of a product -- many ways, some more trickier than
others but all designed to keep the pharmaceutical cartel looking like its
the most effective treatment.
I have a great amount of suspicion and not without good cause. These types
of cartels prey on the people with their air of authority and regulation
which it claims is for the safety of the people. Just like the phony war on
terror takes the liberties of the people away for their own safety -- its a
con of gigantic proportions, so big that people find it hard to believe, but
a con nevertheless.
