malpractice and iatrogenic damage suits. The vast amount of damage
caused by this industry is incredible; an industry which takes in
approximately one hundred billion dollars of income pays out literally ten
to twenty billion dollars a year in malpractice settlements. This still
leaves an eighty billion dollar profit margin in an industry which spends
very little in actual product manufacturing. The largest amount of
expenditure by any drug company is that of research, development, and

It is this very research and development of the whole cognitive plan of
allopathic medication that is being challenged. The allopathic medication
philosophy is one that works against the body, or develops a compound

The legal issues of medical practice are also stacked against alternative
practitioners. In 1990, of the 570,000 doctors in the United States, 1,437
