Trust is the essence of things going crazy in this field. Who on earth can we trust these days? We dont even know if someone writing a comment on the internet isn't an agent of some company or government. So why should we trust in doctors selling chemotherapy and radiotherapy, while no one, until this day, has fully understood what cancer actually is, where it comes from and admitted that! The internet revealed most secrets about our own systems and how trust is being abused in almost every field. Pharmaindustries will never admit that the human body itself is the only thing in the universe that can heal our illnesses. Healing is a job our body does, not the medicine or a doctor. All drugs and docs can do is improve the conditions for our body to actually heal itself. In the worst case they will just chop that thing off causing you to be ill, and tell you that you've been healed. So why should we trust them anyway? I do not give alot about alternative techniques myself, since most of the time someone just wants to make money or fame with it, but i can see no difference in classical medicine these days. So i still visit a regular doctor, but i question his assumptions and double triple check what he is trying to make me do.

Some amount of mistrust of doctors is good.

An important question to ask a doctor is "what happens if we do nothing? What happens if we do watchful waiting?"

Doctors are human and they're subject to cognitive bias, so it's useful to check what they say against the science.

But that means using reliable, reputable, sources (eg the Cochrane Collaborations) and not some guy on the Internet making money selling goji berries as a cure for all cancer.
