"Western Medicine" - Condescending Orientalist Put Down

Alternative health set ups such as Universal Medicine are NOT spiritual.

Its a business model that operates by instilling fear and distrust in the subject.

A quotation from Professor Dwyer's article:

Quote

Herein lies the great weakness of our regulators’ approaches to consumer protection from health care fraud.

Protection should be about stopping harm from occurring by due vigilance of what is being offered to patients, rather than chasing culprits after harm has been done.

And the mandate of responding to serious physical harm should be extended to include the harm associated with a delay in accurate diagnosis and timely effective treatment, the psychological damage from false hope, and robbing patients of funds when there is no evidence for treatment programs.

Improving health literacy would protect many, but not all, from being duped by supposed health care that lacks a basis in evidence. But the immediate challenge for all interested in better protecting consumers is to have the regulatory agencies charged with doing just that be far more proactive and tougher on miscreants.

The comments follwoing Professor Dwyer's article are well worth a read.

This one comment is a standout it tells how to recognize many health and religious scams.

Francis Holden

A giveaway of a scam/quackademic/alt magical thinking and mystical processes is the mention early on of the term “Western Medicine”. There is usually no definition of what on earth is meant by Western Medicine - West of what?

The term Western Medicine itself is a condescending form of Orientalism or Exoticism. Putting forward a view of Asia/Africa, or more particularly China, as a hidden enclave of spiritual and other wisdom stuck firmly in an imagined Nirvana of heath and knowledge usually located as static and somewhere before 1600. Or some other imagined “prefect” age.

Just a few other comments to entice you to read them all. An exciting and very informative discussion.

You’re simply incorrect, Eveline. The author provides multiple links to Benhayon’s bollocks in order to provide us readers with the means to fact-check for ourselves. Your objections were off the point, implied the author was part of a group you sarcastically referred to as ‘all-knowing’, ‘god’-like and putting the rest of us ‘at their mercy’.

Small point but you didn’t fault his arguments either. Nor mine. Your outrage is confected and has no substance.

The plan is quite simple.

He wants some of the taxpayers’ money (from our ‘public’ universal health care system) to be funnelled into his Universal-Medicine-pocket.

To be able to do this, he needs to recruit General Practitioners (real doctors, medical professionals) into his business and with their help try to convince other GPs, medical institutions & organisations and politicians to make some changes in rules and regulations so that he can shaft people left right and centre legally.

He is in it to make money.

But this guy is in the wrong country for this particular choice of business. Although there is no comprehensive health care system to milk, he should have started this business in The United States where he can find more “consumers” to shaft among 300 million people. Unfortunately for him, there are bigger and better scammers in the United States than this charlatan. Go duck yourself!
