The
Torch has been passed to a kinder, gentler, more sensible
form of Medicine

The
days of drug, drug, drug, medicine are over. We will never
go back. We will never permit the orthodox system of allopathic
drug medicine to dominate and totally control our nation’s
health system again. Nutrition and naturopathic food medicine
is the new medicine of the 21st century.
Those
of us brought up in the 1930’s – 40’s
and 50’s remember well the slogan of Dow chemical
and the great pharmaceutical giants, “Better living
through drugs and chemistry.” What have we learned
in the last 50 years?
Facts
to consider before putting another drug into your body:
1. 36% of all hospital patient admittance are due to iatrogenic
causes.
2. Iatrogenic means doctor and/or drug induced, in short:
a doctor/drug created disease.
3. Between 1980 – 1999 ten million innocent people
died as a direct result of drug medicine treatment. During
the same period less than 100,000 died from AIDS. Think
about that.
4. Every day of the year 80% of the adults in the U.S. take
one or more prescription drugs.
5. Every year 100,000 people die from infections acquired
while in the hospital and the direct result of antibiotic
use.
6. From 1962 – 1988 there was a 300% increase in drug
addiction as a direct result of the use of medical prescriptions.
In the same period street drugs from the drug cartel accounted
for only a 30% increase. Think about that.
7. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, prescription
drugs are now the third cause of death in the U.S. Think
about that. The number one cause of death is heart disease.
The 2nd leading cause is cancer followed by seeing your
drug doctor.
8. All drugs are foreign substances to the human body.
9. Every drug without exception is toxic to the human body.
Even the simple aspirin is responsible for 6,000 deaths
a year.
10. No human was ever drug deficient. Drugs do not address
the cause of a disease; they only suppress the symptoms.
It is impossible to drug yourself to health.
The
enclosed medical facts are not tales whispered between classes
at school. They are widely published. It is for this reason
that intelligent people have not only been seeking alternatives
to drug, drug, drug medicine, but they’ve become more
proactive, being more willing to take more responsibility
for their own health care.
For 50 years the American Medical Association and their
lapdog organizations, such as the American Cancer Society,
the American Heart Association, the American Diabetes Association,
etc, officially stated that “there is no relationship
between diet, nutrition, and disease.” They also took
the position that natural food supplementation was foolish,
a waste of money and not recommended. To date they have
never as much as apologized for this criminal malpractice
and crassly irresponsible advice.
The
case for nutritional self-health care, using natural remedies,
naturopathic food medicine, and vitamins, is being made
daily. The scientific research is overwhelming.
At
the same time the long-term dangers of pharmacological drug,
drug, drug medicine are continually being exposed. For these
reasons, the drug medicine profession will never be the
same. The torch has been passed from drug, drug, drug medicine
to naturopathic food medicine, nutrition, and other natural
alternatives.
As
early as 1975 Ralph Nader’s consumer advocacy groups
revealed that 300,000 drug medicine induced deaths were
occurring each year in U.S. hospitals. That was five times
the number of soldiers killed during the entire Vietnam
War.
According
to the National Center for Health Statistics the annual
average cause of product safety deaths in the U.S. are:
1. Adverse reactions to pharmaceutical drug medicine = 150,000
2. Automobile accidents = 39,325
3. Contaminated food = 9,100
4. Boating accidents = 2,064
5. Household cleaners = 24
6. Pesticide poisoning = 12
7. All vitamins = 0
8. All homeopathic remedies = 0
9. Bodybuilding products = 0
10. Aromatherapy products = 0
11. Amino acid products = 0
12. Commercial herbal products = 0
In spite
of these facts, a day doesn’t go by that the establishment
press doesn’t proclaim the wonderful wonders of drug
medicine and the horrible dangers of natural vitamins, herbs,
and self-help nutritional care.
If
the so-called news media became converted and began proclaiming
the plain truth, its simple message would be natural vitamins,
herbs, and minerals are perfectly safe – Drug medicine
is extremely dangerous, killing more Americans each year
than all of our nation’s wars.
More
facts to consider, more reasons to take natural food medicines
to prevent disease:
1. Every year in the U.S. 60,000 people die as a result
of unnecessary surgery.
2. 15 million unneeded surgeries are performed annually.
3. 350,000 unnecessary caesarians are performed each year.
4. 1 million citizens of the U.S. are suffering from brain
damage as a result of the administration of just one class
of psychiatric drugs – the Neuroleptics.
5. 1
million American school children are prescribed a cheap
form of speed called Ritalin. This drug is given for a bogus
condition called ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), due more
to faulty diet and nutritional deficiencies than the need
of brain drugging. Ritalin eventually causes hyperactivity
and depression. It can cause acute withdrawal symptoms and
an amphetamine like psychosis. Best of all Ritalin stunts
physical growth and creates drug addicts in the name of
medicine.
6. There is now compelling evidence that for 80% of the
cancers that kill people, chemotherapy is completely ineffective
and does not improve the quality of life.
7. Chemotherapy is cancer causing. It kills healthy cells
indiscriminately, wiping out the immune system.
8. AZT, the official American Medical Association and Pharmaceutical
Drug Trust’s drug prescribed for AIDS, terminates
DNA synthesis in the body. It also attacks the bone marrow
where immune system cells are manufactured. The drug itself
creates all the symptoms of AIDS in the name of treating
AIDS.
9. In order for all of the enclosed facts to occur, literally
thousands of drug studies had to be approved by the FDA,
the agency that licenses all drug medicine. This criminal
organization is guilty of major felonies including negligence
homicides. It seems more concerned with preventing Americans
from taking natural food supplements that have never killed
any one than preventing the hundreds of thousands of deaths
due to pharmaceutical drug medicines that occur like clockwork
every year.
10. The old system of drug medicine can best be described
as a criminal enterprise. That is the reason the torch has
been passed on. Nutritional medicine is the medicine of
the 21st century.
