According to Chen Shuzhen's "Homeopathy" (China Environmental Science Press, July 1999): "In 1976, doctors in Bogotá, Colombia, went on strike for 52 days, resulting in an 'unusual side effect'—a 35% drop in the local mortality rate. That same year in Los Angeles, USA, when doctors protested against the rise in malpractice insurance costs, the city's patient mortality rate dropped by 18%. A report by Dr. Mil Romimoer, a professor of medical administration at the University of California, after investigating 17 hospitals in the city, showed that during the strike, each hospital reduced surgeries by an average of 60%. A similar situation occurred in Israel. In 1973, Israeli doctors went on a nationwide strike for a month, and according to statistics from the Jerusalem Burial Association, the national death rate dropped by 50% that month. In 1983, Israeli doctors went on strike again, this time for 85 days. According to statistics published by Slater et al. in the British medical journal 'The Lancet,' the national death rate in Israel dropped by 50% during the strike. The same decline in mortality occurred 30 years ago, also due to a doctors' strike. According to Dr. Pomelat's investigation into the relationship between doctors' strikes and mortality rates in the 1980s, the decline in mortality was proportional to the duration of the strike. For example, in Manitoba, Canada, a two-week doctors' strike led to a 20% drop in mortality, while in British Columbia, a three-week strike resulted in a 30% drop, and in Israel, an 85-day strike led to a 50% drop in mortality."

A report in the 1988 "Arizona Republic" stated that nearly 2 million hospitalized patients in the United States each year suffer adverse drug reactions, with over 73,000 (4%) dying from severe drug poisoning. These are cases of iatrogenic diseases.

These reports indicate that we should not overly rely on drugs or doctors. What should we do? Trust ourselves. The principle of humans overcoming diseases has always been self-reliance, not dependence on doctors or drugs.
