Natural Asthma Relief… Why Are Doctors
So Stubborn About It?

This Article Discusses Why Doctors Don't Want Anything to Do
With Alternative Asthma Relief Treatments
(What They Don't Know Can Hurt You!)
 

Many asthma sufferers are starting to notice there are more choices available than going from one inhaler to the next. A lot of research is currently being carried out regarding alternative forms of dealing with asthma relief. Unfortunately most doctors don't want anything to do with them.

But doctors are only partly to blame for this ignorance. True, there are doctors who do NOT like being told about alternative forms of treatment for asthma relief, especially by patients. These doctors are in the possession of a certain 'I am god,' syndrome, and if that sounds familiar to you then you have my condolences. But not all doctors can be bad! There must be more to it than that.

And, there is. For a start, medical schools don't teach student doctors about alternative remedies, so your doctor wouldn't know what you were talking (or waffling) about. Then you have the AMA (American medical association) AND the pharmaceutical industry mounting a virtual witch hunt against all kinds of treatment they don't particularly agree with (and it seems that those treatments they don't agree with are the ones they don't receive any money for). Don't forget that your illness is big business.

But wait, there's more. The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) is a body that regulates and approves all drug treatments in the United States, but as most alternative methods aren't covered by the FDA they aren't approved. Doctors are not permitted to administer any treatment that isn't approved by the FDA. In fact, doctors can have their licenses taken away from them, or they can be fined heavily if the system decides they are not toeing the line. Doctors can also lose the right to see patients in hospitals too. So you see, you might think your doctor is being pig-headed, arrogant and narrow-minded, but it could be he's just looking out for number one.

But it isn't all doom and gloom. With the advent of a new generation of younger, more open minded doctor, alternative treatments for asthma relief are being taken more seriously: Albeit very, very slowly. Experts predict that within some twenty years alternative forms of curing patients will be mainstream, common practice. But that's not much good to you right now, is it?
