Editorial comments to Media Health Articles ( ( Sydney Morning Herald article “Serving up nonsense in the form of pick-me-up pills.” Comment section, page 15, 25/01/06)and reply by Blackmores - read here - and here ) Note:none of the comments are meant as a critic or attack against anything, the comments are 100% in support towards the advancement of better health for all.

Whenever someone is attacking something in general, something what millions of people value, millions of people practice, and all that for thousands of years, and whenever someone attacks that whole field of valuable information, you must ask yourself the question.. . WHY???

Is there a deeper reason? Maybe a personal reason?

Maybe that person is frighten that natural therapy may find or achieve something the medical establishment never could, namely find the cause of a disease rather than just patching up an ailing system?

Don't we label people who seem to be single minded as fanatics?

Logical thinking dictates that there must be something of value in Natural Therapy.

Could it be that Professor J. Dwyer believes he, and only he knows the truth?

Or that the medical establishment has all the answers?

After all, why do people visit Natural Therapists?

In my own practice, 80% consulted me, because they didn't feel their GP or specialist had given them the support they needed...

Why would someone alienate a whole group of professionals plus people who use and are helped by Natural Therapies?

The nature of attacking is hostile and destructive.

 

Instead of an attack, why not be constructive and supportive and investigate Health as such?
Not as in medical or natural therapy, just as how can we as human being become and stay healthy, I find that much more challenging than simply destructing something...

There are many, many worth while and challenging Issues to be in need of support, actually in urgent need of support.

Natural Therapy is not the problem.

 

Therefore rather than attacking, I would like to ask Professor J. Dwyer to concentrate on the positive the constructive, and >>

1. Improve the health system . Full stop - not by destructing something but by constructing something of value...
2. Work on minimising the site effects of drugs.
3. Spend energy on finding the causes of diseases, and a proper treatment
   without side-effects and without life-long dependency on drugs...
4. As a special challenge, work out how to strengthen the immune system in order that we become immune to something common as the common cold... or the flu...
5. Find out and teach everyone, how to become and stay healthy.
   I don't mean free of symptoms, I mean feeling vibrant, happy and healthy.
6. Find out if and what natural therapies could be potentially helpful.
   Many herbs and vitamins and minerals and other natural substances have been proven to be of value and are used in medicine.

And if there is still something left of an attacking mood, why not attack the obvious health destructing elements in our society?

Such as:

1. Medical drug abuse.
2. Alcohol and substance abuse
3. Soft drink ads
4. Junk-food ads
5. Commercials of health detrimental food items in general.
6. Sugar consumption
7. Food additives - are we meant to fill our self with chemicals ?
8. Or - something which can turn the health system around,
   totally eliminate obesity, by education and here is a great challenge, why not suggest a program to all medical clinics, to open up a free weight loss clinic, running as a group session program. It cost next to nothing, and even would return value, because the participants would be loyal to that Clinic or that Doctor.

Actually, I urge any Doctor;
