She got better… He didn’t care
It’s safe to say I’m not the biggest fan of mainstream medical doctors.
That doesn’t stop the public from adoring them for the most part, though.
I remember years ago hearing about how, when a speaker at an alternative health conference was talking badly about both medical doctors and big pharma…
The crowd was not having it!
They were throwing out boos, jeers, and insults to what was a shocked presenter.
Apparently, the crowd didn’t mind him criticizing Big Pharma…
But when it comes to the doctors doling out their drugs, they’re as innocent as a lost little lamb.
Sadly, this attitude among the public still lingers today.
Am I saying all medical doctors are the bad guys?
Not at all…
But so many of us have been led to believe by the Pharma Cartel of hospitals, pharmaceuticals, and insurance, that doctors are always these caring and compassionate people who give up a decade of their life because they have your best interests at heart.
(Sounds almost as scandalous as politicians, doesn’t it?)
At the end of the day, we have to realize they’re people too.
They have a mortgage to pay, a family to feed, and student loans to pay back, among other things.
In other words, they focused on doing their job, no more and no less.
If you don’t get better and pass on, that’s a part of life.
If you do get better, that’s fine too. They just don’t want to hear about it…
And this story is perfectly illustrated during a recent conversation between Grant Genereux and Beth Martens of the King Hero’s Journey Podcast.
In their talk, they both shared their experiences dealing with cancer and what was interesting to me was the reaction by the doctors and their recovery, specifically Beth’s recovery.
As she explains…
“After I survived cancer, having been told by this oncologist that I wouldn’t survive, that I was going to die without a stem cell transplant. I ended up refusing that because it's so violent.
And about, I don't know, four to five months later, I had actually been hired as a musician to play in the hospitals to give some relief and comfort to those who were there. I ran into my oncologist and I said, I jumped up and I said, like, hey, I didn't die like you said I would. And he just went stone cold and kind of like, yeah, whatever, and walked away.”
So much for caring and compassion, right?
Grant’s experience is a little more positive, but with a twist…
“I had a checkup with my doctor, my GP here, which my original GP retired. I've been seeing him for the last six years and in my last visit, he goes, ‘Grant, this is remarkable. You have the blood pressure of a 15 year old. Your cholesterol is amazing. 10 years ago, you're supposed to be taken out by your chronic kidney disease and you're doing great! Don't even bother coming back to see me.’
But yeah, no curiosity. Didn't even know, didn't ask, are you doing something? Did you change something? No curiosity.”
Really seems like they don’t have a care in the world regarding your health, right?
Now, I do want to highlight something Grant said not long after that statement, which is…
“It is what it is, you know, the way the system is.”
Sad, but true.
It’s a system where doctors don’t have to worry about patients thanks to their insurance company pipeline, while being absolved of responsibility if a certain medication or drug causes issues.
It’s hard to win your health back when the system you’re supposed to admire and trust doesn’t care about you as a person because they only see you as a piggy bank.
This was one of many reasons I didn’t want to get involved with being a medical doctor (MD).
Not only are they usually beholden to a higher power for paying their bills—hospitals, insurance, pharmaceuticals—but they also avoid (and evidently don’t care) about why people are coming to see them in the first place.
And while a person can see a doctor for many reasons, one reason not mentioned often is poor or lackluster nutrition.
After all, when your body is malnourished because it’s not getting enough nutrients to support itself, or your toxic load is using up too many nutrients just to get back to baseline, recovery feels almost impossible…
And no favors are done when practitioners could really care less.
It’s this type of behavior I find disgusting, which is why I created our Testing & Consultation Packages.
