Guest guest Posted February 25, 2003 Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 A Classic Battle Between Good and Evil... The Battle Between Health and Medicine... The biggest battle mankind faces on planet earth in the 21st century is the one between the forces of " Health, " and the forces of " Medicine " . " Health " is winning. North American consumer spending habits clearly show that our society wants to be healthy, not medicated. The forces of " Medicine, " tout the dubious benefits of a drugged society. To them, everything is a new ailment, a new disease, a new disorder, one for which an expensive new drug is available - and which, in their minds, the population should be " required " to embrace. Look how easily our brighter children are being forced into a Ritalin world. Look how our seniors are convinced that they need to spend their life savings in the prescription line at the local pharmacy. " Medicine " has failed North Americans, for tMedicine's goals are not our goals, their wants and needs are not our wants and needs, their solutions are not our solutions, and their motivation is not our motivation. Hence the " Health " movement. Intelligent people look at the North American medical paradigm and say, " there's got to be a better way than this... " And, of course, there is... " Health " proponents promote the simple idea of determining what, exactly, is the " cause " of a person's poor health - and removing that cause. For example, if a person is suffering pain and general ill health, with depression, " Medicine " proponents who " diagnose and treat " would load him/her up with pain-killers, antibiotics, and anti-depressants - and a WHOPPING, never-ending, bill down at the pharmacy.. " Health " proponents would first examine the whole body to determine if there is a specific cause for this problem, find it, and solve the problem by returning the body to it's natural operating system. It is a lot more profitable to continuously " medicate " than it is to simply restore " health. " Probably the biggest problems facing our society, in the new millennium, is our inability to deal with DISEASE. We, with our current " medicine " paradigm, are losing the battles - period. And, as our world population increases, so do our health problems. When it comes to DISEASE, conventional " Medicine " has NOTHING to offer. The " War on Cancer " only benefits those involved in the money-receiving end of it. The war on AIDS is following the same path. Yet, all around us we see successes against those problems - successes that are, most likely, the beginning of the answer to the problems. Unfortunately, we find out about those successes by reading the newspaper about how the successful " health " practitioner was " arrested, jailed, sued " on some pretext... In those cases, inevitably, the thousands of Americans who testify to the benefits of the program they used to restore their health are IGNORED. Somehow, in our society, we've allowed the power structure WE OWN, and put in place, to act completely stupid over this issue. We've allowed them to use the guiding concept that " proven, or approved, by a bureaucracy " supersedes the reality of " results. " That's definitely wrong - and it's time to correct that, right now. " Medicine " has entwined itself into our regulatory bureaucratic structure. It has, for now, managed to convince certain employees of our agencies, that the " testing " rules we, as a society, impose on DANGEROUS NEW DRUGS, should apply to natural products, and common-sense solutions to health issues.. What happens now, is that when some leading-edge health practitioner finds some natural product, or simple device, that really does affect cancer, or AIDS, or what-have-you, they GET STOPPED. And, when they get stopped, people, who now had a chance to live, or restore their health, DIE... WHAT? They get stopped? What the hell is going on? Just when we're on the edge of an answer? Enter, " The Quackbuster Conspiracy " ... North Americans are raised, primarily, to embrace the Judeo-Christian sense of right and wrong. Most of us are taught early what is GOOD, and what is not - what rules we are to live by... Throughout history we've seen EVIL rear it's ugly head. Man's ruthlessness and cruelty to other men knows no limits. Examples abound in our pages of history. Every race has it's predators, and its victims. In my opinion, the worst thing happening to humankind in our lifetime, is the activity of a small, but HEINOUS group of people who call themselves " the quackbusters. " The suffering and death of tens of millions of humans is of no concern to them. They exist ONLY to stop advancement in health sciences that competes with the expensive, and nearly useless allopathic (MD) drug/surgery offering. In some ways, the war between " Health " and " Medicine " is working itself out. Massive drug conglomerates are diversifying their product lines with " natural " products - seeing the change in society's needs. That " war " is not the problem I'm talking about, although the change is taking far too long.... The " war " I'm referring to, is the one being run by a delicensed MD (and some others) out of a basement in Allentown, PA. Doctor Julian Whitaker's views on the NCAHF written to the President of Loma Linda University are a good explanation of the problem. It is believed that Dr. Whittaker's letter, and the actions of the California Health Freedom Movement team, were responsible for the REMOVAL of the NCAHF from the Loma Linda University campus. For years the NCAHF had used Loma Linda University's address in a manner designed to make it appear that the University endorsed their bizarre health positions. GOOD is winning against EVIL in this battle, but is a never ending grind. Extra Note: " We the people " set up a system whereby we test new medical treatments before they are inflicted on the public. Why then would anyone want to step out of our own control mechanisms, and explore " unproven, or unapproved " ideas?

Guest guest Posted February 25, 2003 Report Share Posted February 25, 2003 I post a lot of information I glean from this list into my LiveJournal for my friends to read, as well as for my own future reference. The piece which Frank posted at the start of this thread particularly grabbed my attention. When posting it into LJ, I appended a little introduction, which I thought might be of interest to others here in Gettingwell list, so I decided to post it here, as well. Alobar " If You're Here Reading This Web Page... " ...because you just got the shock of your life - someone telling you that " there is nothing that can be done for you, or your loved one, " then there are some things you need to know, particularly if DEATH is inconvenient for you at this time... " You need to get more information - and you need to get it FAST. " (see below for entire article) Intro by me, Alobar The thing about serious illness is that nobody wants to contemplate it until one simply must because oneself or a close family member is battling for h-is/er life or well-being. However, at that point, it is all-too-easy to simply trust that the doctors know what they are doing, really can produce a cure, and are acting in ones best interest. HAHAHAHAHA Many years back I began to notice something very disturbing -- *every* time a friend or relative got seriously ill. the docs were *never* able to restore health. They sometimes were able to prolong life by a few years, or even a decade, but at a very low level. Time and time again, I saw vital people reduced to being bedridden or reduced to being invalids, with plenty of pain, mental confussion, and not at all happy. And all their money was lost to the medical profession. Every penny. They all died paupers in state homes (if they ever lived long enough to leave the hospital. I came to hate hospitals, and doctors, with their smug air of professionalism, who never once let on that they had no ability to cure, and would never tell their patients that they realy had no clue how to heal anyone. It was not until I had to face the reality of a non-healing foot wound and I had to face the fact that I had diabetes that I began exploring alternatives -- after my ex-wife, Raven, kicked me in the butt to get me researching stuff on the internet. The huge amount of very practical information I have found is simply amazing. Sure, there are many strange & bizarre " cures " for most any illness (as well as a few multi-level marketing schemes selling snake oil) which I highly doubt, but there also exists several fully-developed schools of science which the allopathic medical community (the ones who keep pushing to monopolize the term doctor) want to suppress. And no, I am not being a paranoid conspiracy theorist here. I have checked out many many websites & read many many technical papers. I take almost nothing at face value. I was trained as a scientist. I know fluff and hearsay when I see it. I also know enough not to throw oput the baby with the bathwater. Even if a particular website is 90% fluff, it may contain 8% worth reading further, and 2% which is right-on. In the old days of the American West before cities arose, people used to read medicine. That is to say, when a person wanted to becme a doctor, they apprenticed themselves to a doctor & read every damn book in the doctor's library, asked lots of questions, and assisted the doc whenever & however possible. Along the way, that person became a doctor. No university training. No standardized corpus of knowledge, or monolithic approach to healing. Well, for the past 20 months or so, I have been reading health (as oppossed to medicine). Generally, I read about 2-6 hours every day, 7 days a week. I sure do not know nearly as much about medicine as a medical doctor, but I do feel I know much more about health than 90% of the doctors practicing in this country. The 10% I know less than are the orthomolecular MD's who actually use vitamins rather than " medicines " (which I put in quotes, because the " medicins " are mainly poisons. Since starting to keep a daily LiveJournal (again, thanks to Raven) I have been putting a lot of my health-related research here, along with personal philosophy, politics, etc. -- not as a substitute for anyone else doing their own research, but as a starting point for their own research. It is my very firm opinion that everyone must do their own research. If anyone is really sick, I strongly advise them to join several different health lists, and to scan the web continuously. There are no cookie-cutter solutions. What my LJ offers is a peek into what is out there. Much of what I read comes from material I gleaned from one or more health lists, plus URLS I followed from reading other material on the web. Below are two web pages I found (because of Gettingwell list) of interest this morning while waking up enough to make breakfast. http://www.savedrclark.net/by_whom2.htm http://www.savedrclark.net/safetynet.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
