Lessons from Jon Barron Alternative Health & the Medical Community    In this week's excerpt from Lessons from the Miracle Doctors, Jon Barron questions whether it is a good idea for the alternative health community to pursue acceptance by the medical community. "I believe that medical doctors are now in a very difficult position. It is as though they are locked in a room with two 800-pound gorillas. One of those gorillas is managed health care, whose sole goal is to restrict the way these doctors practice medicine and to limit the amount of money they make doing it. The other gorilla is alternative health, which has become a multi-billion-dollar industry despite the best efforts of the medical community to stop it. If you are indeed in a room with two huge gorillas, there is one place you don't want to be—between them. At some point, you are going to have to get behind one of them or you will be crushed in the middle. And since, by definition, managed health care is dedicated to crushing the individual doctor, there is only one option—doctors will have to step in behind supplements and herbs. But therein lies my greatest fear. I believe that when that happens, doctors will try to turn alternative medicine into another branch of organized medicine, available only by prescription and only through their members. In business terms (and with billions of dollars at stake), we're talking about a hostile takeover." -- We hope you enjoyed this week's excerpt from Lessons from the Miracle Doctors.
