Issue 40: Medicine, as we know it, is dying

"MOST PEOPLE ARE MORE COMFORTABLE WITH OLD PROBLEMS THAN WITH NEW SOLUTIONS!"


Nicholas Regush:


"Medicine, as we know it, is dying. It's entering a terminal phase. What began as an acute illness reached the chronic stage about a decade ago and progression towards death has been remarkably swift and well beyond anything one could have predicted. The disease is caused by conflict of interest, tainted research, greed for big bucks, pretentious doctors and scientists, lying, cheating, invasion by the morally bankrupt marketing automatons of the drug industry, derelict politicians and federal and state regulators - all seasoned with huge doses of self-importance and foul odor.


The US currently spends about 1.5 trillion dollars for healthcare, and the projections are that it will double in less than ten years. The sad tragedy is that we are spending all of this money on disease management focused on drugs and surgery and our return on this investment is profoundly poor. More and more people do not have the energy they need to get through the day while millions of others are suffering with painful crippling diseases because they have violated basic health principles. Many of their choices were made out of ignorance and it's my passion to make increase the public's awareness of these health tragedies. I hope to give you, the consumer, the tools to become a major force for good health and the alleviation of disease and suffering."

Dr. Mercola:
"As the article above documents, and as many of us have predicted, the traditional system is ready to collapse. I do not share this to be the purveyor of bad news, but to announce that a new day is dawning. As many of you are already aware, the drugs and surgery the existing medical establishment has foisted on you are not the solution to better health, but merely their methods of making more money off of you by treating only diseases - diseases their paradigm helped to foster in the first place. We are not achieving the high levels of health that we could be. Increasing amounts of people do not have the energy they need to get through the day, while millions of others are suffering with painful crippling diseases because they have violated basic health principles. We can solve well over 90% of the all chronic diseases with simple, inexpensive natural therapies. Following the eating plan and radically reducing grain and Sugar intake while optimizing omega 6:3 fat ratio will likely reduce over 50% of the health problems Americans currently experience. I know this is true because I have successfully treated many thousands of patients from all over the country with these techniques." --Mercola.com



The drug companies spent $15.7 billion dollars on promotion in 2000, up from $ 13.9 billion in 1999, to influence the American public toward believing that putting poison into our bodies is O.K." Articles in the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association acknowledge that adverse reactions to doctor prescribed drugs and medical mistakes are the third highest cause of deaths in America today.

Public Citizen Unmasks "Questionable Doctors"



The state of Vermont is expected to become the first state in the nation to require pharmaceutical companies to disclose their gifts and cash payments to doctors, hospitals and other health care providers. The legislation in Vermont is part of a growing effort by state and federal lawmakers to rein in drug companies' marketing practices. In Congress, a recently introduced bill would block drug companies from deducting consumer advertising costs that exceed the amount they spend on research. Other federal legislation would allow the Food and Drug Administration to impose penalties as high as $10 million for advertising the agency found to be misleading.


Guylaine Lanctot, M.D:

"The medical establishment works closely with the drug multinationals whose main objective is profits, and whose worst nightmare would be an epidemic of good health. Lots of drugs MUST be sold. In order to achieve this, anything goes: lies, fraud, and kickbacks. Doctors are the principal salespeople of the drug companies. They are rewarded with research grants, gifts, and lavish perks. The principal buyers are the public - from infants to the elderly - who MUST be thoroughly medicated and vaccinated...at any cost! Why do the authorities forbid alternative medicine? Because they are serving the industry, and the industry cannot make money with herbs, vitamins, and homeopathy. They cannot patent natural remedies. That is why they push synthetics. They control medicine, and that is why they are able to tell medical schools what they can and cannot teach."

I was once a victim of the never-ending flow of propaganda from the medical establishment (which I think of as the "disease" establishment because they focus on disease rather than on prevention and wellness) who wants to maintain a monopoly on the word "cure" and who wants us to believe that we have no control over our own health and that our only hope to get "well" is with drugs, surgery and radiation. I can't remember a time in my life, prior to 1982, when I wasn't struggling with failing health. I was overweight (185 lbs), suffered from chronic fatigue and my health was steadily going down the drain. For years I had been a "junkie"--addicted to prescription and over the counter drugs.

I used corticosteroids for eczema/psoriasis, Antibiotics for recurring throat and breast infections. I also used nasal decongestions for chronic sinus congestion, and other drugs for chronic backaches and other health problems. Unfortunately, instead of generating a cure, the medications (including a course of nine months of Antibiotics ) merely temporarily suppressed my symptoms, weakened my immune system, and in the long run made me sicker. (side effects of corticosteroids) In 1982 my doctor told me that I had to have a mastectomy because my body was no longer responding to medication. But I was determined to not let them cut off my breast. I had had enough of orthodox medicine; I knew I had to change direction to improve my overall health and vitality. read my entire testimonial.

I have fully recovered my health and my vitality entirely by natural drugless means. My energy is fabulous and my mind is clear and sharp. If I can do it, I believe that anyone can. It is a matter of educating oneself about the body's extraordinary self-repairing and self-healing power.

In August 2002 Belgium becomes the first country in the world to prohibit fluoride supplements Fluoride tablets, fluoride drops and fluoride chewing gum, for decades promoted as the crown jewels of dentistry, are going to be taken off the market because they are poisonous and pose a great risk for physical and psychological health. This has been decided by the Federal Minister of Public Health. Respected Medical Professionals and Scientists are warning that water fluoridation has dangerous long-term consequences to health. For over 50 years, the U.S. government and media have trumpeted fluoride as a safe and effective means of reducing cavities, especially in children. But fluoride is not the benevolent and innocuous substance the public has been led to believe.

Fluoride: Wide Range of Serious Health Problems



"I am appalled at the prospect of using water as a vehicle for drugs. Fluoride is a corrosive poison that will produce serious effects on a long range basis. Any attempt to use water this way is deplorable." Dr. Charles Gordon Heyd, Past President of the
