Blind Spots (CHES)

This course is only for CHES practitioners. Exciting, eye-opening book written by a popular respected physician at Johns Hopkins Medical Center. With over 10,000 research studies per year being retracted, and forty percent of today’s accepted medical practices not holding up to rigorous testing, changes need to happen. Recognizing the problems are the first steps. “When medicine issues recommendations based on good scientific studies, it shines.” The author is distressed by the overconfidence in modern medicine that resulted in crises that should not have happened like the misinformation on hormone replacement therapy for postmenopausal women, on overprescribing antibiotics, on igniting the opioid crisis, on demonizing natural fats and not recognizing the problems with a high sugar, highly refined diet, just to name a few. Quotes: Blind Spots will help you learn several critical and surprising things about what to ask and what to avoid, and it’ll encourage you to choose doctors whose treatments are based on evidence rather than hearsay. – Washington Independent Review of Books Smart, motivated people are prone to develop blind spots. It’s true in business, politics, and science, but there’s a remedy Dr. Makary argues. Blind Spots is a deep dive into our human tendency to resist new ideas, and a guide to impeccable objectivity. – Scott Smith, CEO of TRUE Network 18.5 Hour Program I.D. #114228_BSSS 18.5 Total Hours / 10 MCHES Hours
