Knowledge is power and in no daily situation is knowledge more powerful than in dealing with illness.
Physicians have the knowledge – and they have the power: to chart the course of treatment for you and your loved ones.
Or do they? The world of medical science is changing rapidly and the business structures of medical practice are under pressure.
In a world where medical information is available at the click of a mouse on the world wide web, any patient can challenge his doctor’s view on treating an illness – and one eminent physician actively encourages people to listen to their intuition – and if they feel their doctor is wrong to look to another professional for advice.
