So school medicine is evidence based, huh? Anyway, I even said "if it does not help you"... Obviously that means that instead of accepting your illness you should try other methods. If you think that school medicine has the interest of helping you, or that if they can't help you, you are out of options... Well then you are wrong on both counts.

Maybe read up a bit about Rockefeller medicine. He also founded the American Cancer Association. I am sure he didn't do it for money.

School medicine is a trillion dollar business. You are a fool to believe that their best interest is your health. That of course does not mean that it won't help you, but it also doesn't mean that it's in your best interest (neither health wise nor cash wise) and that it has answers to all illnesses (in fact, only if it brings money, and not curing chronical illnesses brings in a lot of money).

That again does not mean that school medicine is all cash and business. There are people who take it seriously and want to help people (most doctors I naively assume). But here are equally many who don't (pharma lobby) and those are much more powerful. It is a constant battle between good & evil to your disadvantage. The least you can do is have a critical eye on what they have in store for your illness. If you blindly accept any treatment and diagnose they give you, then I am sorry for you.
