The best six doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine, water, rest, and air
Exercise and diet.
These six will gladly you attend
If only you are willing
Your mind they'll ease
Your will they'll mend
And charge you not a shilling.
~Nursery rhyme quoted by Wayne Fields, What the River Knows, 1990

People are told that most of their problems result in fat. Doctors continue to refer these "problems" to psychologists and other professionals for "help". Schwartz stresses that our society will not be content until all are practically emaciated.…

    Medical sociologists have been previously concerned with illness rather than health. Functionalists such as Parsons (2011) suggested illness was a deviance and had the effect of disruption on society which had to be controlled. Parsons used the sick note to illustrate that the sick person was excused from performing normally, but this had to be kept to a minimum and the sick person had to want to get better. The function of the medical profession was to socially control the use of the sick notes to those genuinely sick (Webb, Westergaard, 2004). However in 2013 the working person aims to keep working during some illnesses or at least limit the time spent away from work. To do this it involves the patient/client to taking some responsibility for keeping healthy and reducing the time actually being ill. Growing up in North America, studying medicine; we are taught to be more reactive to illness as to being becoming more proactive in keeping a healthy lifestyle. Therefore by choosing to use alternative medicine, it could provide an additional method which may combat illness and help speed up recovery and also, prevent illness in general (Lett, 2000).…
