Qu'on voit.
If there were a cure for cancer, would certain members of the MEDICAL
community make it a patented or franchised treatment, unavailable to the
greater medical community without paying a franchisee fee?
I think not!
I am ashamed that there are unscrupulous dental practitioners who would
hold out to the public that "they" have a miracle cure for periodontitis
that is unavailable to other practitioners who do not pay a "franchisee"
fee. This is ludicrous!
If there were a cure for PD, then we would be all over it. Lasers, local
antibiotic treatments - (fibers, Atridox, Arestin}, prayers to St. Jude,
DO NOT WORK.
Treatment as a matter of Public Health, would be standard.
Let's be as scrupulous and even-handed as our MEDICAL colleagues. Don't
we want to be as respected as physicians and, ahem, veterinarians? Let's
get real.
What WORKS, should get LOTS of Press/publicity. What is ONLY a PROFIT
CENTER should be exposed for what it IS!
