Disclaimer
This radical critique of biological
medicine is in no way intended to invalidate the good intent and
caring efforts of countless physicians, nurses and other health
professionals operating within institutions dominated by the
biomedical belief system.
Its only aim is to help release them –
and their patients – from the iron grip of that system. Nor does
this book seek to deny the role either of emergency care or surgery,
or natural forms of symptomatic relief known and used for centuries
(in particular remedies such as aspirin whose source lies in natural
plant extracts).
Finally, this book is certainly not a
critique of patients who continue to have trust in biomedical tests
and treatments – and/or suffer little side effects from them. For
though such treatments, for example pharmaceutical treatments and
radiotherapy, may carry very serious dangers, they can also serve as
a form of psychological as well as biological medicine.
