Sept 17, Julia Schopick: Honest Medicine       

As Dr. Michael Platt said during his recent appearance on Full Power Living, modern medicine is dictated by……drumroll……the pharmaceutical industry! It’s no wonder that every time you interact with today’s media you hear about another medicine for a common medical condition (and its long, long list of possible—and oftentimes horrible–side effects). What’s particularly sad is that these medications usually don’t address the cause of the illness, either. “Relieve the symptoms” seems to be the catchword of medicine these days. Enter Dr. Julia Schopick with her Amazon best-seller HONEST MEDICINE: Effective, Time-Tested, Inexpensive Treatments for Life Threatening Diseases. She’s offering a return to the times of my childhood, when I lived with my grandparents on their farm, many tedious miles from any doctor. My grandmother had remedies that worked. I’m looking forward to learning more from Julia Schopick.

Just like everything else these days, medicine is going through a metamorphosis. Having married a doctor 17 years ago (after years and years as an Alternative Medicine person, myself), I have gained greater respect for doctors, and also greater insight into what is being done and what is changing about medicine. Doctors work hard. They spend years learning their craft. Most of them care a great deal about the patients they see. Many have also been shaped by the medications that have been created for treatment, the policies of insurance companies, and the structure given to medicine now that it has become a business instead of largely a way of serving. I’m can’t wait to find out what Julia Schopick has found out about treatments that actually work to heal conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis, Epilepsy, Liver Disease, Lupus, and Rheumatoid Arthritis.
