Another past Syphilis Experiment Is Revealed; but is this type of cruelty still being perpetrated today?

This is an experiment from the 1940s where individuals in guatemala were purposely infected with syphillis to test the effectiveness of antibiotics. Yes you guessed it, the NIH financed the study and sent doctors over to conduct the study. While this is news that is over 55 years old, the concern to us today is that the mentality of the self-appointed medical establishment has not changed yet. They still think in very similar ways and treat people with the same disdain and disregard they always had.
It is scary to think that we put our health and lives every day in the hands of doctors who are compelled (& coerced if need be) to follow the authority figures opinions to the letter.
Many of us know the consequences the hard way. Many of us go to establishment doctors and never get better; only the bills grow. Many of us realize experientially that there is something wrong when my doctor pushes an ever increasing number of drugs on me as I seem to deteriorate or never feel an improvement in my condition.
I worked in the past alongside a very educated man who became diabetic at around age 52. Over the course of several years I saw him taking more medications, having more tests and procedures and consistently getting worse. Things got to the point where they started amputating his toes one every few months. All the meanwhile the poor guy was following his doctors orders to the letter. He took all medicines, followed all diet recommendations and showed up for every test, visit and procedure. The patient never thought there was something else he was missing. He was always impressed with the technology and order his doctor uses and he thought his non-improvement was solely his fault and that his doctor is tolerating his indiscretion. In fact this is what his doctor told him on every visit.

These are not universal observations. However, these are the observations of about 1 in 5 patients who visit mainstream doctors. This is about 20% of all Americans for whom the system simply does not work. Of course the establishment went on the offensive long time ago to quell this minority. They basically call us everything from neurotic to retarded, to imbeciles, to mental cases to "it's all in your head" to "it is all your fault"... to all sorts of demeaning and demoralizing language that is meant to invalidate our experience. This is meant to make one feel that the problem is in me and with me and not in the system itself.
This is the sad state of affairs we suffer from today. Thankfully there are enlightened doctors and health care providers who understand the situation and who have successfully threaded themselves out of the system and operate independently to give patients the personalized care they deserve and need, devoid of judgment or extraneous doctrine. These are the wholistic doctors and the can be your average med school educated MD or DO or your less conventional naturopath, oriental med doctor, chiropractor and so forth.

Wholistic doctors don't know more or less than conventional doctors. They simply look at the person as a person and not as a symptom. They typically spend hours (instead of minutes) with their patient to figure out each and every factor in their life that could impact their health. They then come up with a partnership plan where the doctor acts more like a cheerleader and advocate for the patient to take charge of her health. This partnership includes lifestyle modifications, referrals to other doctors for specific matters, various forms of therapy (spiritual, herbal, medical...). Meanwhile the wholistic doctor keeps track of the full picture so the pieces are always in one place no matter how many people are involved in the plan.

Like I always tell my clients, if the system works for you, then there is no point in dwelling on any of this. Take your pharmaceutical and be on your merry way. However, if you have a similar experience to what I described above, then it is incumbent upon you to explore alternate routs to optimal health other than the 5 minute visit culminating in a pharmaceutical drug prescribed.

Good Luck,
