I have to agree with Ms Goer concerning Dr Amy. I have also got sucked into debating her; it's a waste of time. I think that everyone should read BOTH sides of the debate, question the sources of and credibility of advocates on BOTH sides, then make up their own minds. Bickering will not move the cause forward for either side.
Hi all, my name is Brandy and I am a writer, an independent filmmaker, and grad student. My background is literature and visual arts, however I used to be an activist and advocated for single payer health care (among other issues).
I see a naturopathic doctor on a regular basis and I have long been interested in alternative medicine as I have strong criticisms of our for-profit health care system, pharmaceutical industry, especially. I have a friend who saw, "The Business of Being Born" and sent me a clip of it. I have not seen the film yet, but I have researched home birth after seeing the clip and the criticisms that home birth advocates have of hospital births closely mirrors that of others who want to reform the health care system in different ways. I understand that not all here may agree with single payer and have different opinions on many issues surrounding health care, and that is fine. A respectful exchange between people with different opinions is fine. Fighting with trolls, is, as I said above, a waste of time, I have learned. 
Our local alternative weekly here in Baltimore ran a great piece on home birth and I am here mainly to be educated and to learn more. I have read much of the information on this site, but this is my first time posting. |
