When was the last time they cured a disease? We've made demi-gods out of these people and they don't even understand exactly how aspirin works. Chris Rock had the best line. If you're blind, the best medical technology can do for you is give you a dog to haul your blind ass up and down the street.

And no I'm not a scientoligist. Nor am I a Christian Scientist which are the ones that don't believe in doctors. Scientologists oppose Psychiatry because they see therapy as competition for their movement, but I don't believe they oppose medicine per se.

I have no problem with doctors as long as people understand that 150 years from now, people will look back on things like chemotherapy the same way we look back at leaches. But for some reason you can't say anyhting bad about them without raising a shit storm.

Just judging from what I've heard they don't use any kind of modern medicine. They tend to be against anything that could "taint" the natural order of things. Just like some fire fighters from 9/11 rejected psychological services and anti-depressants and medicines that would help PTSD, they turned to Scientology and were miraculous "cured".

As a psychology major, preparing for a psychology M.A. I think it's a load. Sure, some psychologists/psychiatrists are far too fast to throw drugs at people for a quick fix, but I believe that the majority of them try to fix those who want to be fixed and do so in a humane and hopefully truly concerned manner. As for those who don't want to be fixed, I have no problem with them rejecting modern day psychiatric methods but don't try to get in the way of those who do want help.

Not trying to hijack the thread, just my two cents.
