Re: Re: New video on bacteria causing disease paradigm

[Guest guest]

Good evening,I believe, Bill, that you have touched on a point that is a symptom of a much larger issue. Veterinarians have been 'trained' to think in a certain way - I am also a veterinarian, but have chosen to free myself from the 'system' that failed me (us) and my patients. But I believed what I was taught for a lot of years ... why? Because (in my opinion) this is what our school system trains us to do at the earliest of ages. We are taught to listen and obey - not to question. Unless one has a parent at home (or a very special teacher) that plants the seeds of doubt regarding mainstream paradigms and instead instills critical thinking, it is a difficult path to forge later in life. So I guess this question is a bit of a divergence from the original post, but do you feel that our early, foundational public school experiences are a contributory element to this equation? Many thanks, and I appreciated your post!Maia B Re: New video on bacteria causing disease paradigmTo: RawDairy > I watched the video Will published on youtube discussing > bacteria and disease.
