Medicine is no longer an independent profession. Doctors have become nothing more than a link connecting the pharmaceutical industry to the consumer."
Dr. Vernon Coleman

Almost everything doctors do is based on a conjecture, a guess, a clinical impression, a whim, a hope, a wish, an opinion or a belief. In short, everything they do is based on anything but solid scientific evidence. Thus, medicine is not a science at all, but a belief system. Beliefs are held by every religion, including the Religion of Modern Medicine."
Dr. Robert Mendelsohn
Copyright © yoice.net – Quote Artwork"I no longer believe in Modern Medicine. I believe that despite all the super technology and elite bedside manner... the greatest danger to your health is the doctor who practices Modern Medicine. I believe that Modern Medicine's treatments for disease are seldom effective, and that they're often more dangerous than the disease they're designed to treat.
I believe more than 90% of Modern Medicine could disappear from the face of the earth--doctors, hospitals, drugs and equipment---and the effect on our health would be immediate & beneficial.....Modern Medicine can't survive without our faith, because Modern Medicine is neither an art nor a science. It's a religion."

Dr. Robert S. Mendelsohn
