        They are using the push that you treat sickness you don't strive to optimum wellness to try to say alternative health care people are better .. It's marketing to manipulate in my view.

        Replying to @gorskon

        Dr. Gorski, very respectfully, our so called "#healthcare" system is set up to reward the care of the sick, whereby profit is tied to "RVU" which generates more revenue the sicker someone is. This is as opposed to a model such as the VA system or Kaiser. Ask @KoushikReddyMD also.

        Replying to @agargmd @gorskon @KoushikReddyMD

        Ask Dr. Reddy why instead of doing an angioplasty on everyone with a pulse and a heart, he counsels people with #plantbased #lifestylemedicine to #treatthecause, rather than letting patients dig their own graves with their forks and knives. Hospitals are temples to illness.pic.twitter.com/zReGeYqlAz

        Every time a new dum-dum discovers this hook they regurgitate it like a profound revelation.

        Yep. I've yet to hear an explanation that satisfactorily convinces me that this is anything more than a cute but ultimately meaningless slogan.

        Con artists with pseudoscience make up their own jargon & phrases. It emulates real scientific disciplines and makes them feel smarter than the rest of the population. The conned pick it up to feel like they're part of an elite group. This term disparages real medicine.

        It means that the person saying it is the kind of person who thinks all the wisdom in the world comes from bumper stickers and memes.
