Yes, some NDs do things like diagnose that they shouldn\'t, some charge way too much for their supplements, etc. But there are many MDs who do a bad job as well. My grandmother had Alzheimers. We asked her doctor who use to push pills for everything to test her so she could get something to help. He refused unless she asked. If she had the disease and forgot everything, how was she suppose to remember to ask to be tested. So her MD did nothing. Her disease progressed and eventually she was in a home, where the nurses, etc did a horrible job of caring for her. She ended up with very high blood sugar (she was also diabetic) and then went into the hospital due to being sick as well. There she slipped in to a coma. After asking my Grandfather if he would like to take her life support away and the MD being told to wait until he spoke to the rest of the family, the MD decided that he would take her life support away anyways. He did nothing to help her. As she was off her life support, her blood sugar returned to normal, and her sickness was getting better, but her body had also begun to shut down. That MD who spends so much more time in medical school and learns more than any natural physician (according to some posts) hide until she died, even though he could have used his training to save her. So, until I see something that MDs do that is so much better (because with all my experiences so far, they have done nothing amazing for me), I will not think that they are superior to NDs. Jennifer
