There are thousands of diseases that for millions of years equated to a death sentence; but now the diseases can be simply and easily cured. I would say not to miss out on what a good medical doctor can do for you just because there are some bad ones out there. A good doctor will know if you really need the prescription to save your life or improve your quality of life possibly despite, and certainly not because, of what the drug companies say.

The education system only pretends to use scientific method for the most part. It's mostly authoritarian, meaning domineering, which is how big business has long operated under the greed system. Most doctors in training probably never stop to think about how authoritarian it is. Hopefully, the internet is helping the younger generation to become more open-minded, but the education system itself seems to be regressing, more than progressing.
I don't know of many diseases that the medical system cures. They treat most diseases with drugs and surgery, which cause more health problems, instead of curing anything. The only thing I can think of offhand is things like type-I diabetes, where they can provide a nutrient like insulin, when the body isn't able to produce it itself. But, even in such cases, modern medicine may tend to cause type-I diabetes and similar problems in the first place. And the dietary advice to diabetics tends to make them less healthy, not more. Injuries aren't usually considered diseases, but I grant that modern medicine is pretty good at fixing injuries. Not nearly as good as it could be, but fairly good.
By the way, I don't trust anyone, including myself. I just read James Sloane's critiques of Dr. Mercola yesterday and of MMS and of glandulars, which may be the same as protomorphogens, but I'm not sure. I had previously trusted all of those quite a bit, but now I don't so much.
