Oh forgive my faux paws, mea culpa...Malpractice insurance is needed for mistakes that harm patients. My reference was to medical knowledge.
For decades, the medical "eggspurts" have claimed many new improved formulated medicines will help you live longer, make you stronger, grow hair, cure that hiccup, stop that burn, stop that yearn, get it up, get it down, get it all around....
to later only find out.... oooopppss, that does more harm, than good.
I'm not trying to say, mankind hasn't made extraordinary medical advances in our lifetime,
my Mother was born in 1919, she used to tell me of so many amazing medical breakthroughs of the century.
Birth of penicillin, wiping out TB, measles, rubella, many nasty things eradicated...
but, these advances have come with much trial & error, and a price,
and has done much damage, when the "eggspurts" have gotten it wrong.
Thalidomide, being a great example.
Nowadays, we got opioids, heart burn medicines, blood pressure medicines, and many other medicines, that lifetime(even sometime short term) use or abuse, can lead to more problems, than they fix.
Remind me again, what Madame Currie died of...
I find most ppl that are born relatively healthy and normal, thrive,
if consuming the right provisions & nutrients, adequate exercise, sunlight, & rest,
they should be for the most part... Healthy.
Maybe there's just a lot more sick ppl out there in the world, than I'm aware of,
but if one does not pay attention & be diligent about their own well being,
we've seen what we can get when we allow someone else or the "eggspurts" to do it for us.
They may not always get it right. I might not always get it right, either,
but I trust me, maybe more than I do some doctors, and I'll take blame/responsibility
for my choices & decisions. Knowledge is power.
Inner knowledge may be more powerful.
We've still to figure out the autism issue, ms, so many diseases...
I respect your opinion and agree to certain extents,
I just have my own perceptions, and that's just me.
Well being encompassing the physical, mental, and spiritual.
Again, that's just me. Stay safe!
