What does "Dr." really mean?
It helps to put the whole Doctor thing in
perspective by remembering that Bill Cosby is a "Doctor."
(Ed.D.) whose
doctoral thesis was
titled "The Integration of Visual Media Via Fat Albert and
the Cosby Kids Into the Elementary Schools Culminating as a
Teacher Aid to Achieve Increased Learning." Nearly
everyone loves Bill Cosby, but I doubt that you would rely on
his advice
as a resource for Aloe vera education just because he is a "Doctor"
(even though he even played one on TV).
By convention, and, in some areas, by
regulation, an unqualified "Dr." indicates that the title holder
is a Medical Doctor. Since this is loosely, if ever, enforced,
many times a commercial presentation will throw out an unqualified "Dr." with the intention of misleading the reader about the
qualifications of the person in reference. As an example, a
Chiropractor may want to create the illusion that they are
qualified as a Research Scientist or Medical Doctor, so they
will replace the appropriate and accurate "D.C." (Doctor of
Chiropractic) with a simple "Dr."
To avoid misunderstandings about my
intention here, let me state
my personal experience that Chiropractors have been the single-most
important influence to my health, and the health of my family,
of any of the various Doctors we have consulted.
Truth be known, it was a Chiropractor who first introduced me to Carrington Labs®
Manapol, and
for that I will be eternally grateful!
That said, I recently gave him a copy of
"The Science Behind Aloe: The Healing Plant" so that he
could become better educated about the amazing healing benefits
of Aloe vera, and thereby more fully appreciate the great
gift he had given me.
For Aloe vera, acemannan and other
glyconutritional education and recommendations, be certain that the advice
you are getting is coming from
qualified experts in that field.
By the way, while we are on the subject
of qualifications, the editor of this web site, Bruce Wesley
Chenoweth, is not only not a doctor, he has
never even played one on T.V.* Everything presented herein
has come from or through another expert. If you see anything you
are skeptical of, please do challenge it.

with "I am not a doctor, but I play one on T.V. ..."
