In the modern world, informed consent lets patients participate in their own health care by knowing all their treatment options and any associated risks. However, full transparency in medicine can overwhelm patients and lead to poor decision-making. Is it really the best policy? Dr. Dinesh Verma reveals why we’ve taken informed consent too far. He’ll talk about the damage caused when patients fail to trust medical experts, often resulting in the refusal of lifesaving treatment. He also discusses the right way to implement under-used alternative therapies in combination with modern medicine for astonishing results. A medical doctor with 45 years in practice and 18 years of integrative medicine research and experience, Verma’s latest book is “Ipsicura Effect.” Ask him: Why should more health-care professionals use the placebo effect in their practice? How did your mother miraculously recover from late-stage breast cancer? How can patients feel better, heal faster, and even save money on medical expenses?
