The “system” has forced MDs to accept “evidence-based medicine” as the “Only way to go”: the experience-based opinion of the Family Doctor is considered valueless. There is something wrong with that.
EVIDENCE BASED MEDICINE CORRUPTED
It’s true! – I’ve seen it – I can prove it; but I’m not allowed to publish it!
The BMJ (the British Medical Journal) is arguably, the world’s premier medical journal in terms of length of service, ethics, reputation and kudos: this editorial is of the utmost importance and I hope that visitors to this website will read it.
The gist of the article is: “Evidence-based medicine has been corrupted by corporate interests, failed regulation, and commercialisation of academia” …… Also: “The release into the public domain of previously confidential pharmaceutical industry documents has given the medical community valuable insight into the degree to which industry-sponsored clinical trials are misrepresented.”

I am a Toronto-trained Urologist. I practiced in downtown Toronto, from 1977 to 1997, when I went to Saudi Arabia as chief of Urology at the Armed Forces (teaching) hospital in Tabuk.
Returning to Toronto in Y2000, I switched to family practice.
In 2007, began to prescribe Hormone Restoration Therapy and in 2012, I became a member of the American Academy of Antiaging Medicine [A4M].
I successfully wrote the A4M's written examination in December, 2013 and In May, 2016 I passed the oral examination, for accreditation as a BHRT consultant.
In 2014 I began BHRT practice in Collingwood, Ontario and in January, 2017, joined the Stone Tree Naturopathic Clinic.
Now I am 85 and retired, but it seems wasteful to jettison my learning and experience: the medical establishment knows nothing of BHRT / Functonal medicine and I feel obliged to offer my knowledge in the interest of those who are willing to think outside the box.
