Interesting Enemies For a Diagnostic Database

Seems access to information is a positive thing, but certain doctors seem to feel threatened by this sort of database.

This kind of database is the kind of positive effect that technology can have on daily life. Now more than ever in today's busy world we need our doctors to have the latest information about what really works and what really doesn't.

Which is presumably why these naysayers are against the system. It correctly lists herbal and other alternative remedies as being both cheap and effective, kind of the Linux of the medical world. The AMA, with its vested interest in expensive, proprietary medicine, is totally opposed to any body of facts, electronic or otherwise, that would expose them for the money-grubbing reductionists that they are.

The only way to fight back to make this information widely known and of course take herbal remedies and perform chiropractic regularly to maintain a balanced chi.
