Should We Trust Our Doctor's Judgement?

We all know the importance of doctors. I have had some of the best doctors in medicine on my side, and I am so thankful for their expertise! However, sometimes we forget, they are working for us, and they are human and do not know all things. Humans err. We should be very concerned when the doctor prescribes us another medication.
Why? Because, doctor prescribed medications are now the #2 killer in our nation. Not only are doctors prescribing medications on top of more medications without looking at possible reactions with other drugs, and maybe not even knowing or understanding the possible effects, but they are also prescribing medications that are by themselves very harmful to the human body and the side effects may in fact be worse than the condition they are trying to improve.
I have had that experience a couple times. I was put on Paxil for migraines, and put on a cancer causing cream for eczema and psoriasis, when I went to have 2 moles biopsied to prevent possible skin cancer. Do I trust doctors? Well, Not All Of Them, and you should not either.
What needs to happen to wake people up to the health crisis in our nation? Do more people need to die? Do more people need to be diagnosed with conditions that were created by the very medications prescribed by those who are supposed to be helping us become healthy?
Maybe you need to answer those questions for yourself.
I think we need to go back to the nutrition we are putting in our bodies. I think we need to go back to natural remedies, and when something like Aloe can be used to effectively improve a gastrointestinal problem, or decrease the risk of cancer, then shouldn't we turn to the benefits it has to offer, rather than turning to the doctor who makes money only if we are sick?
I think we need to ask more questions of our doctors and we need to be better informed, looking into what types of natural products can help us, before we get to the point of needing the doctor.
There are companies like Univera LifeSciences out there who are helping people experience optimal health condition.
Maybe the time is now, before illness strikes, that we need to look into these type of companies and see what kind of health response our bodies will receive from their products.
I saw a news broadcast the other night that addressed concern that we may be outsourcing our medical field. We are one of the leading nations in the world, and yet we no longer see the benefit in the medical field for natural medicines and cures. As I watch the numbers of deaths that our occurring in people under 60, I am concerned. I am concerned that our average life expectancy is no better than that of Iran. I am concerned about the current state of our nations health and health care system. Aren't you?
