The only way the hospital
Situation is going to be
relieved and the costs to the
government brought under
control: is to promote
preventive or holisti¢ care.
Now, I'm quite aware that
this step isn’t going to be
very popular. with the
medical profession, because
their training is centred

around

concerned with the
causation of _ illnesses.
Symptomatic treatment does
NOT cure people, according
to Mark Shusterman, M.D.,
of Boulder, Colorado. He
goes on to say and I quote:
“The cause of sickness is of
little concern and in most
cases unknown.”

Preventive care, on the

_other

hand, teaches the
patient good nutrition and
spinal hygiene and other
important health care ap-
proaches rather than
treating sickness which
develops from ignorance and
poor personal care.

Since being deprived of
the very competent services

Meadows and C. Reich of

Calgary and Vancouver,
both doctors of holistic care,
a great many of us have
reverted to self help. There
is no way that we, who guard
our health, are going to put
ourselves into the hands of a

The only “crime” of
Doctors Taams and Reich
was in practising holistic
care and iridology, an an-
cient and very accurate
method of diagnosis. If I had
followed an orthodox

doctor’s orders five years
ago I would have been dead.
As it is, I chose to follow the
holistic method of cure and
now enjoy abundant health.
The time is long past due

when we, the people, should
have the choice as to what
kind of physician shall look ©
after our health. The power
of the College of Physicians
and Surgeons should be
drasticaly curtailed, and the
freedom to police them-
selves should be transferred
to individuals’ who are
genuinely concerned for the
health of the people.
