In the article below, the traditional health advocates - those who stand to gain the most from over-medicating people - are criticising Oprah for offering the world an alternative to the biomedical model. These old fashion practitioners who were old schooled into treating symptoms just don't get it. It is the same kind of thinking that has the world economic system in the crisis it is in. It is because we treat symptoms and not the root of things. I think we have evolved and if the medical programs do not incorporate cures into their programs then we will have to continue to look elsewhere to get the holistic treatment that is necessary for us to feel better. I am not saying to throw away traditional medicine but both must go hand in hand and I applaud Oprah for her work in this area as with other work she has done to enlighten the common folks. Thank God for Oprah and for people like Dr. Deepak Chopra, we are becoming more conscious of how everything impacts our health.
