My family in India never went to an allopathic doctor except for children's childhood vaccinations. We all were delivered in the grandfather's village by midwives and so were the children of all 6 of mother's sisters and 3 brothers. None of friends ever do annual checkups. Being put on any medicine by a doctor is a big news among friends and family. We only went to a homeopath in town that the mother trusted.

I was getting married in 1993 in my hometown, the marriage was a day away and finally had some time on hand. So I decided to just visit a doctor do a checkup and lab tests. I had never done them in life including in the 6 years in the US when I was a student (had no money for insurance). A close friend of mine happened to swing by the house and the mother told him I had gone the doctor. Lo and behold... when I returned home, abut 12 friends and their families had gathered at home with somber faces. I said... hey guys, what's up? Then Mom said I told them you had gone to see a doctor. Suddenly it all came together.

People never do annual checkups there. Medical doctors do not have the trust of people although many doctors/surgeons are good and educated overseas. The problem is the beliefs people hold.

1. The doctor will put you on medications you won't need to make money and make you dependent to keep coming back for more
2. They all are about making money and pouring poisons in your body to make money

I always blamed them for not doing annual checkups and I know theirs is another extreme. But now can't blame them entirely.

It’s all a giant criminal enterprise. But Big pharma is worse than big oil and big food. But they are all intertwined and what’s good for one is in 99% of the cases good for all of ‘em.

Speak for yourself.

@skado

I do speak for myself. Sometimes feel like buying this toxic crap. Yet over come it by brainwashing myself to counteract it.

Strange how we all fall for it in the praise of science, isn't it?

I heard of diseases in the US that I never did before. Even for a freaking headache they have 6 to 8 names. They make it sound like advanced science but it is really not. And then there is counseling. Every adult needs some type of counseling. Even war veterans who simply return from peace duty have counseling. A soldier means you are trained for traumas, violence, often horrific killing. Every industry systematically starts inserting itself into the system to be relevant, necessary and normal in people's even regular lives.

I read a while ago that in a small state an attorney was not required to do a mortgage closing but finally the State Bar Association lobbied the legislature successfully and had a bill passed. Now every mortgage - whether a new purchase or refi needs an average of $800 lawyer per closing. I went to law school and never use a lawyer unless legally required. I have seen all mortgage closing agreements. They are all template documents, there isn't much to think about. All are MS Word templates where they just change name, address and parties for $800.

The US and New Zealand are the only countries that allow this dangerous practice. They aren’t designed to ‘inform’ or ‘educate’ anyone…….but rather to brainwash and make people believe in alot of cases that there’s really something wrong with them, and that that drug is so ‘wonderful’ and their lives will be great for taking it. All while running down a list of side effects of all sorts. All while showing actors pretending to act like the drug is great.

These are all, to me, as laughable as many of those old Partnership for a drug free America ads back in the 80s and 90s which I’m sure many on here remember. The fried egg one especially comes to mind.

The Drug industry, Big food, Big oil, big insurance are Publically Traded Corporations. They have one goal……to make as much money as they can……regardless of who dies in the process.
