Your comment strikes a cord of memory in me. I remember how my wife heard some wonderful speaker talk about research work that he did involving non-drug psychiatric therapy. My wife asked him where she could read about it and he intimated that it would be very difficult because the whole system is geared toward psychiatric medications for patients rather than alternatives. That is where the funding is, hence that is where the research dollars are spent, those are the types of researchers and professors hired by universities, those are the editors hired to write the textbooks and edit the professional journals. Its just one vicious circle all geared toward perpetuating psychiatric medications as the treatment of choice depite that toxicity of drugs, the side effects and the interactive issues with other medications and foods. Then other therapies are poo-pooed in that they have not passed scientific testing yet there are no dollars for it.

There is also local influence pedalling. Our local health system managed to get some law passed in Mass. so that they could remain a virtual monopoly in this area. A competitive radiaology group had to move out of state to work.
