I think medicine has gotten lazy. There are people out there that are doing amazing things but it isn't helping because you could get killed by someones laziness or sloth. I take a guerrilla tactics approach to my health with doctors. I always obtain a copy of my records. Any test that I have, any biopsy that I have, anything that I have done, I don't listen to what they tell me. I get the actual results and read it myself... google is very helpful for medical words.
I actually have a friend that is starting a medical advocate business for elders. I would love that for when I get older. Making sure that there is someone who can fight for me so that the doctors don't get lazy.
I actually do think that medicine has accepted that the current cancer treatments don't work. They are working on immuno treatments (using viruses to kill cancer cells) and i just saw a proposed treatment using vitamin C to kill cancer. High dose intravenous vitamin C kills cancer via As vitamin C breaks down, it generates hydrogen peroxide which kills only cancer cells.
I just hope these things are up and running before I hit my 50s.
