Why your oncologist may not be open to non-traditional therapies

Although I'm a big proponent of alternative and holistic therapies, I try not to get caught up in medical establishment bashing.  I believe the majority of oncologists do care about their patients and put their best interests ahead of profits. That said, I believe the system itself is in need of attention. When a large portion of an oncologist's income comes from chemotherapy administered in their office, there are bound to be problems. The same is true when the majority of drug research is funded by pharmaceutical companies that profit from the drugs.

I highly recommend this three-part Forbes series by Dr. Robert Pearl, MD. He addresses three very important issues with the current system. 

  1. How Manufacturer-funded research compromises patient care - Discusses how money motivates bias in medical research.
  2. When Money Motivates Cancer Treatment Options - Talks about the bias that takes place when doctors own their own diagnostic and therapeutic equipment.
  3. Are Oncologists recommending the best treatments for patients? - Highlights the lingering problem of physicians buying and selling prescription medications to patients – at a profit.
