DazzleYou: You aren't a doctor in Europe, are you?
Oh wait, they don't have many doctors in Europe. That is why most of the rich in Europe travel to the U.S. for medical care because there is such a Dr. shortage in Europe.
I understand from my studies that the reason for the lack of MD's is that more natural medicine is practiced there...might be the reason for the longer, healthier lives.
Don't hit me...it's why I'm studying to be a Naturopath. But I still believe allopathic medicine has its good parts, too.
