Yes, the medical industry is good at some things, but overall, it is set up to serve its establishment overlords, not its patients. The establishment wants to sell pharmaceutical drugs and surgeries, and routinely overlooks, demonizes, or outlaws cheap, free, or natural cures that could prevent patients from needing drugs or surgery.

The establishment controls the industry, from medical school curriculums to its medical journals, licensing, recommended best practices, government agencies, and more, penalizing doctors who deviate from establishment recommendations by threatening their licenses or branding them quacks.

In recent years, they have moved to make being an independent practitioner very difficult, pushing doctors to move from private practice to employment by bigger entities. This makes it easier for the establishment to control them. Look how hard it was for good, honest doctors who were saving lives by not following CDC/NIH protocols to buck the system during COVID.

Saving preemies is a $26 billion a year business in the US, and preemies often go on to have expensive health issues for years to come, so the establishment gets a good return on their investment for that. If a naturopaths were included in the decision-making about how best to design and handle this care, they could probably cut those costs in half.

I'm a 63 y/o premie baby weighing 4 lbs 5 oz, so the medical community kept me alive back then...
