Who do you trust more about medical information?

[Anonymous]

I trust the doctors directly involved more

I trust the patients directly involved more

I trust the politicians NOT directly involved more

A health system that only treats symptoms while ignoring all root causes is never to be trusted. Anyone that trusts such a system has been deceived. The only exception I can think of is when a person needs emergency surgery.

I know people that go to Doctors appointments every week and have been seeing Doctors for decades. I ask them 'name me one thing that has been cured'. Not one of them can answer a single thing!

So do you trust politicians about medical information then? Or how do you get any sort of medical information at all?

[Opinion Owner]

I don't trust politicians about medical information. All medical information has to be filtered through who benefits, who gains financially and what happens if it works or doesn't work. I've seen the most simple treatment save lives as well as people saved from late stage COVID infection of the lung. But all treatments were ignored during the so called pandemic and if you search for them, they are labelled as conspiracy or lies.

I've also seen people healed through prayer, laying of hands and scripture. But all of those things prevent establishments from getting money.

So you trust the patients directly involved then? That's usually the safest bet. Although they may not be studied on the subjects or understand complicated explanations, they would be in the best place to know whether or not a treatment benefitted or hurt them.

[Opinion Owner]

Yes, I look at a lot of medical studies and trials too.

[Asker]

Well medical studies and trials are done by doctor or scientist types usually, so I assumed you didn't trust those..

[Opinion Owner]

I don't. But you can still learn from some of them. Particularly the ones that kept on being taken down by the FDA.

[Asker]

So you don't trust doctors or politicians about medicine, but you still listen to what they say about medicine? Okay...

[Opinion Owner]

Listen, investigate, research and decide. Even a fool can have information sometimes.

[Asker]

How do you investigate and research besides just looking at what doctors, scientists, and patients have said or shown with studies they did or participated in? What else is there to find—besides what politicians have said? Or are you conducting your own independent studies, which hopefully means you're some kind of doctor or scientists yourself?

I trust doctors that i have known and trusted. I also trust my wife who works in healthcare.

[Asker]

Does it matter whether the doctor has ever been directly involved with that specific medical information? Like would you trust a surgeon to know about diabetes if you knew and trusted them as a surgeon?

I have a doctor I have known for 20 years. If he does not know the answer he se ds me to some odd who does
