Dear friends,

One can keep on taking courses, internships, buy licenses for years and years in row and still be ignorant. Ignorance is a state of mind, not a level of knowledge. It is ignorance to not seeing the need to know how things are meant to be and just focusing on the abnormal and the illness. It is ignorance to believe the fairy tales of salesmen. It is ignorance to believe that the medical model science knows better than nature or creation.This kind of ignorance will not be washed with any number of years of training and licensing. It is, as I said, a state of mind. And it applies to all fields of human life where the medical model has taken control over normal, healthy life events like pregnancy, childbirth and lactation.

Warmly,

Gonneke, IBCLC, LLLL in southern Netherlands, where early onset spring seems to be fading away again.

realize that we are far from it.  The first day of med school, my dean told us 
two things that have stuck with me:  you will never be able to catch up with 
all the reading you need to do, and 50% of what we are teaching you is 
wrong, we just don't know which 50%.
