To be looking so differently now at Drs, schools etc etc

[Loveafridaynightchippy]

Has anyone else had a change of opinion about things that they’ve not really questioned and always just accepted before, in the last few years?
It could be since a became a mum, but I’m wondering if it’s more.
My Dd has been very ill recently and I’ve gained much better help, advise from less traditional Drs-think medical Drs who focus on naturopathy too, homeopathy and so on, I never knew anything about homeopathy before my Dd got ill. The results I’ve seen are incredible and much more positive that traditional things like antibiotics, painkillers and so on.
I used to be a teacher and loved it, but I’ve found myself really questioning if this is the right system and the right way of doing things and am increasingly doubting traditional schooling. Even the way the majority of us work, the 9-5, the commutes, snatched weekends with loved ones, the yearly holiday.
Maybe I’m just becoming an old hippie! 😂
Does anyone else feel like this?

The second part about school, working 9-5, commutes, weekends. That I question constantly, like why do we all do this? Who said this was what life is? I often feel like everyone is brain washed into this system.

It was this.
“Informed about the research” begs many questions - how informed, how much research, competency to assess the research, what types of research, studies pro and con? What is the consensus? Is the consensus country or culture specific? What are the research/treatment options in the U.K. vs Europe, US, China etc. And what about research into the individual patient?

You know, the post I replied to.
Don’t be so disingenuous as to suggest you aren’t arguing that homeopathy is effective. And yes, I know you haven’t used those words.

Now you’ve completely lost it. My post referred to medical research into chemotherapy as that was the subject of the conversation.

How very rude and personal. You aren’t in good faith at all, are you?
We can all see your contributions. Yes, it started about chemotherapy, but it wasn’t about that by this point. Here’s the exchange for you. I won’t be replying to you again, because I can’t bear disingenuous time wasters.

It is abundantly clear from the exchange that the subject is chemotherapy.

It’s ok to piggyback a discussion and misinterpret a post, but at least take responsibility for it.

I think a lot of people on the thread must have misunderstood the exchange tbf. Most of us thought you were arguing in favour of homeopathy, or at least according it equal status as an option.

By “most” you mean you and @cardibach

I note you reported my post that pointed out I had no interest in homeopathy.

I didn't even see it and have no idea what it said. Hard to believe that's all it said if it was deleted.

By most, I mean all the people who have tried to get you to justify your earlier comments, without success, which is quite a few of us.

It's clear now that you just want to fight about nothing though, so... <yawn>

No, not just them. Your posts are all over place and it's clear you're just here to argue.

So desperate for a fight were you that you leapfrogged my conversation and misread it, as did your friend.

My posts have been reasonably clear and consistent. Some posters looking for a fight didn’t read them properly and just wanted to argue about homeopathy.

This thread could have been an interesting discussion about approaches to education and medicine.
