Maybe. But would say this: people going along with some really invasive
treatment just because the doctor said so (putting their brain in park, as
you
say) is a function of indoctrination which they picked up in their government
school sojourn.

The person I mentioned who died from the radiation treatment for his lung
cancer, when I asked him which type of cancer he had, he said he didn't know.

Not out of an incapacity to understand it, he was a pharmacist, but out of an
attitude that all that was strictly up to the doctor.

When Denise was pregnant with our first, a coworker of hers was also pregnant
and was very fearful of delivery, especially of enduring preclampsia. Denise
showed her the documentation that preclampsia is a function of protein
deficiency and 100 grams of protein a day almost always prevents it .... and
you
could insure yourself of that much by eating two eggs and drinking one quart
of
milk a day (the Brewer diet). At least mention it to your OB!

She brushed it aside and said there was no reason to consider it nor mention
it to the OB, if there were anything to it, the OB would have volunteered it
on his own.

She had a very bad bout with preclampsia. Denise did not.

Government school conditioning works to dissociate our involvement in such
decisions and place blind total trust in 'experts'. Don't get me wrong, when
there' s an important decision to be made, I consult the experts, but only
from
a standpoint of informed inquiry.
