Why Doesn't Modern Medicine Put 2 and 2 Together?

The epidemiology alone of back pain clearly shows that a mechanical cause for low back pain is completely untenable.

The crime is that modern medicine looks scientific and is in fact not. If one draws a conclusion and then looks at the evidence it is obviously harder to put 2 and 2 together.

If one looks at the evidence and then draws a conclusion the conclusion more closely mirrors reality (what is.)

I call modern medicine's blind, ignorant materialism (gross reductionism) a crime because an analogous situation in a forensic investigation demonstrates what a crime ignoring Dr. Sarno's cure for chronic back pain is:

A body is found.
The cause of death is determined to be a gunshot wound to the head.
A gun was found at the scene of the crime.
Ballistics matches the slug in the deceased’s head to the gun found at the scene.
Fingerprints are found on the gun.
They are determined to belong to the chief of police.
The chief of police was seen at the scene and he had a motive to kill the deceased.
But, he isn’t being investigated because everyone knows that he didn’t do it.

I spoke with one of the physicians who have trained with Dr. Sarno today. He said that most patients and the medical community don't see the truth because they don't want to see the truth.

I have to look at his point. I do believe that emotion "thinking" is far more powerful than rational thinking. And each of us is attached to our perspective...indeed, it isn't our perspective, it is "the truth." That one dies hard.

It would seem that even in the case of agonizing, disabling back pain, the painful known is preferred to the pain-free unknown.
