The Natural Repertory of Prof. William Nelson

meaning that there are fourteen countries where newborns have a better
chance of survival than in the United States. These countries are those
that depend more on natural medicine, homeopathy, and prevention
techniques. Perhaps these types of analyses can open up the closed
minds of the so-called traditional statisticians to realize that perhaps
there is an alternative.
Legal judgments can be based on incomplete scientific ideas. It must
be accepted that the science of medicine is a pseudo-science; it is not an
exact philosophy. With this in mind, we should be slow to write laws that
prohibit or discourage different philosophies of medicine.
Practitioners and patients have the right to make choices. Medical
boards and peer groups are not needed to challenge practitioners who try
to take philosophies and practices and push them into areas where they
do not have strong scientific validity. The laws of each state for the
practice of medicine are vital, and medical board inquiries are essential
in developing better and better qualities of medicine. Yet in the proof that
a doctor is doing something wrong with unconventional techniques, as in
the case of Warren Levin, who was challenged because of two separate
instances, it should become quickly apparent that one should not jump
to conclusions on one or two cases of impropriety. No doctor in the land
could withstand such a shifted bias. Whereas one or two cases out of the
thousands seen over a ten-year period should put a person’s practice on
the line. Statistics must be looked at as well, and looked at for a certain
percentage, wherein a doctor might be brought out in front of a peer
group, and the peer group also should be able to express different
opinions.
Many people with medical minds are firmly entrenched in
reductionism, synthetic chemistry and surgery, who make tremendous
amounts of money for the industries that they promote. Yet people die
every day of iatrogenic diseases resulting from surgery and synthetic
drugs. Society has found a way to let these doctors off the hook, and yet
