Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Yes, Jag this is what amazes me - my patients smile knowingly at me and say "Oh I have to have an MRI/PET/CT scan" and i say and when you have had this $900 scan - then what? It seems to be the prestige of the expense of the scan that impresses them more than anything else. Cure? Who said medicine was anything about cure? Modern medicine is all about bluff and diagnosis - even I find homeopaths are right into diagnosis nowadays - is this what is needed? Surely for any practitioner who knows his stuff the symptom picture can be treated by the simplest remedies and gradually the cure unfolds, if karma is such that a cure is due to that patient. Cure is not always available for everyone - we have to remember this. I asked my favourite GP (who attends the Aged Care Facility where I work - he spends his time laughing at me usually) if he gets tired of writing prescriptions - I had not seen him annoyed before - he nearly shouted at me - "this is not always what I do - why today I sent a girl off for an x-ray because she had headaches and I suspected something was deeply wrong - and I was right - she has a brain tumour - see my knowledge saved her life!" (but then what, I thought - surgery - radiation & chemo - he was still only a diagnostician) In allopathy there are no longer any Doctors, there are drug peddlers working for the pharmaceutical companies and diagnosticians.

Dear _________, Please concentrate on the RESULTS. It has now become a style of sorts to say that we have to analyse how a system works so that we may accept it. Nobody is willing to concentrate on the RESULTS which are infinitesmaly more important to the suffering patient than scientific bickering about how things work.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Dear Jane, I agree with you totally. Had modern medicine not taken over, mismanaged acute diseases, forced vaccinations on children, resorted to suppressive treatment, and made us medicine guzzlers we would have been in the same occasional fever and cold (not flu) generation that existed upto the early 60s. Flu, I firmly believe is either due to the Tuberculosis vaccine or messing with the earlier hay fever in some way. It is NOT a normal disease. Todays generation does not know what good health is. I have seen good health in my grandfather and his friends who indulged in childlike fun and frolic even in the ripe old age of 90+. He detested any kind of medicine and only changed his diet if he came down with the very rare fever. He was highly active till he was 97 and even cycled occasionally. He was slightly affected when he was 98. Was bedridden then and passed away in his sleep at the ripe old age of 99. His only concern was who would look after our family Durga Puja after his death. A simpleton to the core despite being a much feared govt auditor, he found it difficult to tell a lie and wondered why people had to indulge in such nuisances. And look at me !! I feel like I am 150 though I am only 44. Today the whole world is agog with the Bird Flu which has killed only 98 people so far. But they don't have time for the 7.84 lac deaths due to medicine that occur in the US alone every year. And these people say that they are scientific !!!! I feel like taking them by the scruff of their necks and drowning them in the oceans. I will certainly do that one day.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Dear Jagan, From your letter to Jane, you seem to be too much agitated. Please calm down. It is not good for health. You feel 140 at 44 because of that. Feel like a two-year old child kicking his hands and feet while lying in the lap of his mother. You will certainly get rejuvenated; Amen. S. M.
